[Albion] Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[trueblue]

Half time analysis (in my opinion): Shocking attempt to play negative football. Why was Bernardo dropped? Thank God Kayal is on the pitch. Why are we playing 6-3-1? Why did it take 34 minutes to even have more players in their half? Why am I cringing at the commentator and pundit (Matt Holland I think) literally mocking us? Why can't we do ball retention? What happened, as promised by Chris Hughton, to expansive football, this was his promise last summer. Shocking to watch the demise of a football team. The three who came up, away from home, so far Fulham, lost, Cardiff, lost, what now? Oh but the second season is so much more difficult.

Not really the time for expansive football though is it? Not against a team that’s much better at it.

I'll be delighted if we can get through the second half without conceding.

I'll be ecstatic if we can get through the second half without conceding AND we score a goal.

Unfortunately I have little confidence of the first happening and next to none for the second.

 

[View from the Pier]

Exactly.

Wolves are amazing at counter attacking when they have space; first priority, don’t give them any space and we haven’t. Plenty of posters are too simple to work that out.

Simples

You know who you are

Wtf is wrong with Izzy, AJ, Locadia all awful and need shipping out.

Nothing is wrong with them, its just they do not fit the system currently. They're all attacking players.. what are they supposed to do when the only thing we don't do is attack? All decent players.

They are newly promoted and are so much better than us. Where the f**k did it all go wrong?

Sure looks like a nil-nil match today at this point in the match.

 

[Icy Gull]

I can see little shoots of confidence building defensively much more solid I’m hopeful we can get a point at least just need that little bit of luck

Exactly this, our confidence is so fragile that if we concede we’ll fold. It really is all about keeping it 0-0 and slowly, very slowly building the confidence.

There is some character coming out , the lack of which, has infuriated me so much over the last few games

Not pretty but much better

 

[bhawoddy]

0-0 would be a fantastic result today. Away fans fantastic. But, fortune favours the brave.

We have budget signings

Your hysterical nonsense is getting seriously tedious. You must be a bit thick to not see what we're trying to do here.

Every minute we don't concede, confidence builds. When we have some of that back we can start being more adventurous.

CH has a lot to answer for, but today he is doing exactly what I would do particularly against a team who are lethal on the counter.

For balance, here is the HT analysis of someone who knows an awful lot more about football than you.

'Brighton have done their homework'
Wolves 0-0 Brighton

Chris Waddle
Ex-England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live:

“Wolves, as we expected, dominated possession but Brighton have done their homework and have been good at the back.

Wolves need more creativity in the final third. A draw would be massive result for Brighton.

Brighton's game plan is 'we do not lose this football match today'. If they get a chance on a set piece or counter attack from a bit of brilliance from somebody, they'll take it.”

Luck has been a good bit of why it remains nil-nil.

Risky strategy as you can concede without it being your fault.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Anyone complaining that our football isn't attacking enough really needs to have a word with themselves.

We have no confidence, little in the way of attacking finesse amongst our ranks and playing away at a team that are currently 8th in the table.

At this point of the season the performance doesn't matter, the result is everything.

How many saves has Ryan made remind me?
