lexicon Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Not our day today. 18 seconds in we concede a wonder goal and then just nothing really went for us. I don't think we were urgent enough and our midfield was especially poor today. Best to forget about it and move on IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I can see a small advantage to an extra 24 hours recovery time, it’s a bit difficult to argue they were all knackered after 17 seconds. I’m sure it will form part of SB’s post match excuse fest though. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Jedinak, if he was in the bench he should have come on instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We don't have any pattern of play so when players have off days or it doesn't fall for us we get days like today. Sheff Wed play 442 every game so to match them and hope to be better than them was stupid. I don't blame Bruce for the result I blame him for the football we get to see. Good results make crap football worhwhile but crap results just highlight how bad we are with the ball. Terry looks like being out for a few weeks and that'll be a big problem. We are lucky our bad day hasn't affected the playoff positions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tomaszk Posted November 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2017 Sigh. Terry injury gives him even more time. His "key man" Jack back soon, but he'll forget that and when we're losing games mid-Feb he'll still be crowing about Terry. Saying he's only been in the job 9 months, and didn't get another £25m to spend in the bleedin championship. Out at the end of last season, out during pre-season, out in the middle of our run of wins, and out again tonight. No future with this man. He has the best squad in the league and we only ever stumble to wins. Yes, Wolves have a some really good players, but look at the likes of Conor Coady, Matt Doherty and Barry Douglas. They've been brought up a level with some decent coaching and a manger saying "do this, don't do this". There's no plan, there's hardly a formation, there's Hutton, there's lies, there's his wages which are almost certainly the highest in the league, and most annoying there's everyone who never watches us telling me how good he is and how he's a PFM. I'd really like to just not hate watching us. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No TRO this is totally wrong - you can’t just lump managers into a group just because you’ve never heard of them Wagner is a one-off and was getable for us if we’d really gone for it - if we had I’m convinced that we would be in the PL by now Bruce won’t be taking us up this season and deep down you know it - we’ve got enough quality players to be in or around the playoffs and that’s about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who we have in the academey, also no idea how Samba played today but had has been dog shite when I’ve seen him play for us before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still feels like we are stumbling through many games, I would not be hugely surprised if we went on another poor run. Today is exactly what I was fearing when I wrote this. At home against a poor Wednesday team we should have comfortably won. A team in form and being really convincing would not have a team like that beat them easily at home. We are just not convincing and I have little faith we will have a good reaction to this either. Why the hell did he leave it so late to make the last change? We were so obviously going to lose unless something dramatic was to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2017 Also he has left our squad criminally short. We have one injury in central defence and now Samba is our only option, and what happens if he or Chester get injured now? Similarly we have one striker injured and we have no striker left for even the bench, and one of the ones playing is only a kid though thankfully (and let's face it, it wasn't the plan!) he's come good. It's highly likely we will he another injury to a striker or central defence so where will we be then? Yes Bruce spent all summer accumulating an ambarassing number of right midfielders. We are criminally short of cover with the money we have spent. Yet funnily people have kept saying some of our rivals will struggle when they get some injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted November 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2017 From where I was sitting, people weren't happy with the setup today and weren't happy with Bruce, so it's not just here we have divided opinions. What I found strange today was his substitution. Why take Snodgrass of and put Hogan on the right, when Hogan wasn't doing anything at all?? And why keep Whelan on? it's difficult to play with a midfielder who is watching the game pass by him and doesn't run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Don't feel too angry with him tonight. But we are a 3rd of the way through and when everyone has played equal games it's likely we won't be in the playoff spots. That's pretty poor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) We're in a spot of bother and I expect us to go on a bad run. I guess the risk factor with Terry is that at his age he's more likely to pick up injuries, he has been fantastic for the most part but the issue is that we have no cover. Seems like a dumb decision to let Baker, a capable defender at this level go. Chris Samba is **** abysmal, in fact worse than that, he simply cannot even run any more. Chester and Samba will be like the chuckle brothers at the back, the other alternative is Elphick and he is terrible as well. It's simply ridiculous to not have any sort of strength in depth at the back and rely on a 36 (soon to be 37) year old to play virtually all of the league games in such a long season. We are going to be a shambles at the back without Terry. Another piece of ridiculous mismanagement by Bruce.
