Wolves pre-season friendly THIS AFTERNOON 3pm

[Jacafox]

Shocking first half, I can understand why we are not chasing around, but when we do get the ball that shows we are lacking in any class,definitely need a creative midfielder, hope the owners are taking note.

Nor can I.   Says prohibited in my Country. Frankly this garbage should banned everywhere and not just in Austria.

Tell you what it's a pre season friendly so let's try something different like play 4-4-2 with mahrez wide right and Albrighton wide left, maybe play ndidi and drinkwater in midfield etc etc. Absolutely baffled at this selection and style, Same as last season. Some of the player's that played last night should of been mixed in this squad today

Just watching the highlights now I'm up and running again. Looks like most of the chances were for Wolves 

Maguire looks very composed and assured from what I've seen of him pre season.

I think it's like I said a couple of weeks ago mate. Shaky looks to be setting us to be solid and to not concede. Unfortunately, our flair equates to the arse end of nothing.

Same... Our website really is pretty substandard. Had to fake an IP to watch the Luton game, people reported problems where it kept requesting to sign in/register and now there is a problem, probably due to too much traffic or something.

My stream has been frozen on 21:53 for ages. 

I've been counting the number of police and stewards in the crowd to pass the time away...

If you are using wireless reduce the devices using it, phones, ipads etc. they may snagging broadband.

Friendly game aside.. this is probably one of the more painful experiences of watching a game I've had for some time! The singing element have given up and have taken the concourse over!

  Mahrez looks disinterested but is the only hope we have of creating, everyone looks a yard off the pace, Wolves by far the better side and they are average.

 In the back of my mind I'm picturing this lineup v Arsenal a week on Friday.. scary stuff!

I'm not sure what style of play everyone was expecting from Shakespear.... it was never going to be fun to watch

dont get me wrong, against top teams i can deal with shit football but whats the point of friendly's if the team is just going through the motions against 3 poorer sides. 3 OR 4 PASSES would be nice 

[VLC86]

Hi guys, i fell sleep after being mesmerised by double commentary. Could someone let me know who scored all of our goals? Thanks.

Yep he’s just in a side that doesn’t like it. Him and Benny at the back or even Amartey and we’d pass it out plenty, also Iborra always offers for the ball from DM so it’s a nice build up from the middle.

 

problem is we’ve changed nothing, this is our “first team” and it includes one new player  

Agree with your last comment.  I thought the aim was to bring in fresh faces and improve on last year's team.  What do I know.

[Fox92]

Like I've been saying for the past 6 months, our style of play is horrific. I got bored of long balls to Vardy last season.

 

Shakespeare has changed very little and I can't see him lasting a season.

[The Bear]

It's because we are not allowed to stream the game to our UK subscribers, so we are all piling onto your website on top of all your supporters wanting to watch it too.

Seems if you got logged in early you're ok, but the sign-in/register section has simply fallen over now so you're screwed if you didn't get in early enough.

[Livid]

My only comfort is that they know that they're pretty much out there for the full 90 and aren't giving it 100% yet.

[ozvaldo]

Anyone can tell me "it's just pre-season", but we look and sound terrible.

Yep! There’s absolutely no reason Iborra shouldn’t be partnering N’didi based on his pre season.... but we can’t upset the old guard! 

[ian_marshall]

Awful first half. We've regressed simply by not moving forward. No disrespect to Wolves as they've looked very good, but the fact that even a Championship side has figured out how to nullify us says a lot. 

 

I know its a friendly but some of the old guard look well off the pace particularly Morgan and Drinkwater who were very poor.

 

Hopefully Shakey can get the message across to the players that they need to up their game.

[lee7]

Missed the first 10 minutes but that first half was awful. 

Our creativity is non existent. We seem incapable of playing it into either of our strikers feet & then linking up the play. 

All we rely on is a long punt from the back over the top. 

 

it reminds me a lot of watching England. Happy to pass it backwards and sideways but when it comes to breaking teams down we are absolutely dog sh*te.

This is reminiscent of pre-Christmas last year. Tepid performance, not really creating anything and a lack of drive. 

 

I appreciate it's preseason and players don't want to get injured but we are lacking what Shakespeare brought when he took over - the aggression and desire in our play. 

 

Hope le to see a dramatic improvement in the second half. 

You are absolutely right. So half arsed. I think they are all primadonnas who think they just need to turn up. Reminds me of the first game of the season last year against Hull. No passion left. Turn it on when they feel like it

[champions 08/09]

Remember that Pre season when we scored from everywhere? Even James Pearson scored from about 30 yards. We were great that pre season, and were bottom for most of the actual season. Its irrelevant. Calm down.

Yes but at least we passed it around and had a bit of flair

I only remember James Pearson scoring once in pre season.

[Phube]

So in our 2 1/2 home friendlies we've scored... 1 goal... on the 85th minute, against lower league opposition. I know it's only friendlies but you'd expect both teams to be expansive not play for a 0-0!?

since then we have spent over 100 million of players and won the league, our expectations need to grow a little a well

I agree with your last sentence. I have no idea what the odds are on him to be the first manager sacked but judging from our style of play pre-season I'd say it would be worth 10 pounds of anyone's money.
