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

[Brok]

HT 1-0. Well done lads

 

[Bodian]

Enciso's playing well - he's lost a bit of his selfishness I think, and is trying to make some great passes.

 

[dolphins]

Phew - half time!

 

[The Wizard]

Did he just say Est oop in your Nan

 

[Marxo]

Ferguson would've got on the end of those crosses.

 

[The Fits]

Amazing goal. Decent stuff. Giving away way too much of the ball and conceding enough chances to be down here though.

 

[US Seagull]

Wolves definitely grew into the game after going down.

Going to need some tweaks for the second half. I don't think the second half can be played at the same pace.

 

[Bridcutt]

Difficult half but played well at times. Would really like to see Welbeck replaced though, works really hard but his dribbling and hesitancy to shoot lets him down

 

[Muzzman]

Enciso's playing well - he's lost a bit of his selfishness I think, and is trying to make some great passes.

Wouldn't be surprised that he had to watch hours on hours of Mac Allister in that 10 roll.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Not sure Welbeck and Gross are having good games.
Wee Billy playing well.
Final pass just out for us, otherwise we could have had a hatful.
Wolves - as we were told to expect - playing well on the break.

 

[US Seagull]

Going to need more goals if we want to retake first place in the table!

Fergie hattrick will probably do the trick

 

[Oh_aye]

Decent half. Definitely need some legs in midfield . Gross and Gilmour both great but similar in pace and style. Especially with Milner there and missing Caicedos legs it means we are a bit more cautious about getting forward and moving more quickly. Can't complain as we won our first game and are winning now, but just feel we are missing our usual oomph in midfield (for obvious reasons).

He’s been poor so far today. Be good to see Ferguson get 45 mins

 

[Mustafa II]

Good first half. Knew it wasn't going to be an easy game.

Started off really strong, by far the better side. They couldn't handle our press.

Sensational goal by Mitoma. A true worldie.

As the half went on, we started to look tired. Understandable as nobody will be fully match fit this early on in the season.

Too many defensive errors. Would have been punished by better sides. Wolves have had more clear cut chances.

March is looking a long way off at the moment - Confidence or fitness? Then again, Gross is having an uncharacteristic poor game by his standards too.

Gilmore is absolutely quality on the ball, truly immense at times in fact. Enciso, Mitoma and Welbeck all working well together and looking dangerous.

Subs will be key to this second half. Next goal is crucial.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Despite being 1 up a frustrating half where we should have been out of sight.

Maybe being early in season is to blame but felt Gross and Welbeck both guilty on numerous occasions of not get to the weight of their passes correct. Hope this doesn’t cost us.

Gilmour looking quality and composed, and Mitoma with the two turns of pace on the run for the goal outstanding

stupid yellow from gross means he's can't challenge anyone in midfield so they just run past him

 

[jcdenton08]

Welbeck is really annoying me again. Ferguson at half time please gaffer?

 

[Giraffe]

Ferguson would've got on the end of those crosses.

Agreed, can't help think he is not playing him to keep him from more pre transfer deadline talk.

You reckon? I think we could easily be losing this and wouldn’t have too many complaints. Magic from Mitoma

 

[bluenitsuj]

Let's replace Welbeck and Gross
