Wolves H Post Match Thread 2-0

[murphy]

I had a suspicion that this could be the breakout year for Gray and esp. Chillwell.  The signs are very promising.

It was an absolutely dreadful tackle from Vardy let’s be honest

 

A lot of their chances early seemed to come from stupid mistakes from us, then we looked miles better for the last bit of the first half. Defensively display after the red was really good. Summary: dunno. No chance wolves will go down though, they’re a good team, that probably looks a better 3 points at the end of the season than it does now.

 

Teams are gonna start putting a man on Maddison because when we get him in the game we look really good

[Bats8711]

Traore could play on any team in the league for me.  For those saying Wolves were poor and wouldn't have scored in 90 hours... they hit the post 3 times.  

 

VERY fortunate result.  I'll take it though.

 

Thought Ricardo, Mendy, Chilwell (including defensively) stood out.  

 

I don't see any issues with Dean today - thought we actually got the larger end of the stick overall.  Don't see how anybody can have an issue with Vardy red card.

Knew that in the history of football nobody has overturned a red by moaning?

I’ll be the first to admit the games gone soft. I used to love challenges like that in the 80’s. But sadly you can’t go in like that these days, and Vardy knows it.

hahahahahah

Job well done in the end. Lucky to not go behind but whatever, thought we played well after the first and defended solidly when Vards went.

Am I the only one who thinks that's a definite red for Vardy? Not the worst I've seen by a long way but still a red imho.

 

No it's clear as day, you can't catch someone that high with that force and expect not to get a red. 

[LCCFox96]

A good resilient win, ugly in parts. We certainly got the rub of the green with the OG but kicked on from there and you can't argue with a 2-0. Thought we rode the game out very well when down to 10 men. Wolves probably had the best of the play but we took our chances and they didn't. Job done.

 

3 points on the board and onto the next one

Spoilt by some eccentric refereeing. Wolves are shite and would not have scored in 90 hours.

I thought Puel got his substitutions and tactical changes spot on today, Amartey on for Albrighton  and going 3 at the back made us much more solid at the back.

Totally agree. Love Vards but you can't defend that. Stupid.

You can see the confidence level is higher for Chilly this season.

 

Gray of course never lacked that , but he's definelty finding out how to use his skills more efficiently.

[Clever Fox]

That was a measured performance from us, done what we had too for the result.

Vardy's challenge was sheer frustration, Out of the game for long periods players tend to get rash when the Ball comes their way.

i thought Chilwell was possibly our best player today.

[pazzerfox]

Poor tackle from Vards.  I am all for his no holds barred, full throttle attitude but that was a sunday league tackle!  Showed a lack of intelligence as we were in control and could have cost us!

 

Saying that, I thought we looked good in parts.  Perreira, Maddison, Chilly and Mendy were good.  Evans looked rusty but cultured and Albrighton was his typical 7 out of 10.

 

B+ promising

[murphy]

We're 9th as it stands.

Great result, poor performance!

 

 

Were you there? It wasn’t a poor performance at all. The first 20 mins WAS poor and they should have scored. After that we were pretty much in control and played some lovely football. Our second goal was sublime.

[Tuna]

Pleased for Mendy, was impressed with him, Chilwell, Gray, Ricardo, Maddison and Ndidi.

 

We've got some very good young players who will only improve. Very encouraging for the future.

[whoareyaaa]

Good result, played some good stuff in patches tad lucky in the first half but done well to hold on to the lead.

 

Confidence going into the next game as well

[lgfualol]

Wolves fans may have to lower their expectations down from winning the treble and getting 100 points.

[Merging Cultures]

Can we talk about what a tackle is?

 

For me, someone is tackled when they have control of the ball and they are dispossessed 

 

The ball was not in control of either player. Vardy got there first and kicked the ball hard. The other player continued their run at Vardy without attempting to kick the ball - mostly because they were too late to the ball. It wasn't a red.
