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

[Uh_huh_him]

Couple of changes to that from me. Welbeck wasn’t particularly a positive. Peupion and baker boaitey more disappointing.

I'm not going to make any judgements on a couple of kids making up the numbers.
We were much better around the box when Welbeck came on, much more important than people give him credit for.

 

[nwgull]

Lots of nonsense on here about Jason Steele imo. He made a bad error but was in no way to blame for tonight’s result.

Well it would’ve been 0-0 without the error, so bit of a stretch to say he’s in no way to blame.

And if they didn’t have the lead for 89 mins they might have left themselves a bit more open.

 

[Weststander]

It’s been our problem all season, just can’t find a way past teams that sit deep.

And Arsenal, Villa, Luton (once organised), Chelsea.

Welbeck’s header, Steele at the end, Buonanotte header, Adringa side foot shot wide and Moder chances both first half, Dunk header just passed the post, just off the top of my head…

I don’t think their keeper had to make a serious save

 

[Vaughan Storm]

I know this sounds ridiculous but I'm actually starting to think we just weren't allowed to have a home cup game this season. The efl trophy game was moved to the away ground for no apparent reason and all four cup games were away. The second we knew we had a potential home cup game coming up, we get knocked out. f***ing wonderful

 

[maltaseagull]

If we’re honest he was poor for weeks before Afcon too

2 goals v Sheff Utd really poor?

 

[saafend_seagull]

when is Solly back?

Will be lucky if he’s in full training for July. Plus have to factor in our usual ‘set back’, so probably 2025.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Hard against a well drilled side happy to go to a back 7 at home for 85mins of a game.

Sadly though, to beat us you probably are better off doing that than going for a second.

Spot on.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Lots of nonsense on here about Jason Steele imo. He made a bad error but was in no way to blame for tonight’s result.

Indeed. Entitlement.....

Being in the top flight is year on year battles....I'd rather see us consolidate and inch forward, than have a flash in the pan cup success (a la Wigan and Twats) and sink into the mire.

We lost tonight. Onwards and upwards.

 

[MACCAPACCA]

Have to say I am feeling a bit more confident that RDZ will still be with us next season. I would think the so called big clubs will watch our games and not be too impressed with attacking methods or indeed defending at times.

 

[nsclurker]

An opportunity for Wembley again wasted by Steele 1st and last minute.

What about being dogshit within 30 yards of the Wolves goal?

Steel effed up, but outfield players were doing the same all game long.

Did we ever look like shooting, let alone scoring?

Formation, tactics, and performances all at sea.

 

[tigertim68]

Like I said earlier I expected us to lose tonight,
then we will fade away in the league
and Roma will be to strong for us
we have too many injuries and not a big enough squad to cope

Mistakes are made all over the pitch, unfortunately when a keeper makes one it often leads to a goal, make one in midfield, and maybe not much happens. A mistake in the 1st min was followed by a lot of other mistakes by us all over the pitch tonight - crosses going out of play, miss placed passes, chances missed.

I don’t think their keeper had to make a serious save

Unlike Steele, he usually had 7 players right in front of him so didn’t need to.

 

[nordicgod]

Even if we had scraped through we would have lost to Man City at some stage and probably at Wembley in a semi final with a train strike , so great we can concentrate on winning the europa league as that’s are only chance of getting into Europe again next season

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Couple of changes to that from me. Welbeck wasn’t particularly a positive. Peupion and baker boaitey more disappointing.

What was wrong with Peupion? I thought he was good?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Let’s be honest the goal is on Steele. However the fact that our best chance to score fell to Steele in the last minute is more telling

Another performance devoid of movement and creativity in the final third despite the talent we have at our disposal. Constant recycling before over hitting a clipped pass on an obviously wet rapid pitch. I’d actually welcome some Bissouma-esqe 30’yard snatche efforts, have a go for f*** sake

 

[Reddleman]

We need to F********** SHOOT.

As per Ferguson’s third goal v Newcastle if you hit a shot it might just bobble in or take deflection.

This relentless waiting for the perfect opportunity is nonsense

 

[Bold Seagull]

I don’t think their keeper had to make a serious save

Yes all those chances weren’t on target, so he didn’t need to - doesn’t stop them being good chances though.

 

[Krafty]

Steele should not be held responsible for missing that chance.

We have attackers who didn't do anything throughout the whole match, it reminds me of Potterball.
