We’ve played 15 games in all comps and lost 3 , winning 8 drawing 4 . Some need to get a grip on reality
Agree. He gave one really stupid foul in the 2nd half, which thankfully came to nowt, just like most of Watford's set plays today, but then laughed it off as if it did not matter. Seems to be off it at the mo. If only we had a proper midfielder who compliments Moutinho, imagine that. We'd see a much better Wolves.I wish Dendonker would stop these weird performances and get back to last seasons level. Dozy on the ball in possession, rarely forward thinking and what’s with the half hearted “trot up and hang a leg out” attempts to tackle? Get stuck in for ****s sake.
Beginning to get on my tits.
I think a lot can see the performance was not where we want it to be but the points are in the bag. Midfield needs to be sorted out, as a matter of priority. We need someone who properly compliments Mountinho, which means someone who is quick, strong and keeps close to him as a central midfield pairing. Not sure where that leaves Neves.Supported them for 52 years thanks. But like loads more I’ve spoke to since the final whistle we are not convinced about struggling to keep such a poor side as Watford at bay
We are missing the spark we had last season. Too ponderous in possession and although it’s great to see Doc back I’m afraid the cutting edge up front is poor.
As I said it was all about the 3 points today but we still need incremental improvements in all departments to make sure we don’t get dragged into a relegation battle
No rose tinted faff here I’m afraid.
I was during certain passages of play in the second half when, but for Rui, they could have got a goal and then who knows how it would have ended up. We let them have far too much possession at times - yes I know they did **** all with it for the most part - but it's not a tactic I like - although don't think we have a choice at the mo....
Were people worried today?
**** me, have a day off.I was during certain passages of play in the second half when, but for Rui, they could have got a goal and then who knows how it would have ended up.

I'm having the weekend off thanks but back to the grindstone on Monday...**** me, have a day off.
He plods around the pitch in slow motion - it's as if he's buffering at times. Despite his height, he doesn't seem to be able to win a header.I wish Dendonker would stop these weird performances and get back to last seasons level.

We did. Far from a polished display, we were the better team, worthy of all three points. We defended incredibly well restricting Watford to long range shots which Rui had few problems with.Highlights suggested we created more and better openings
He looked to lose the ball every time he came close to it from the TV I watched on.
It was relentless prior to the game... shocking team selection... nunos got formation wrong... midfields gonna get over run... etc. Not really cherry picking. Not saying there wasnt praise after the game and so should be after a win. But prior it was as if we were gonna get spanked.If you just cherry pick the comments talking about problems, yes. There's also plenty of positive comments. Sometimes it seems that it isn't so much that people are negative, but that others are quick to come on and selectively see what they want so they can point the finger at others. See, I'm pointing it now
There's plenty of praise for Coady, Traore ,Saiss, Neto etc. If you choose to ignore all that, then it's you who are being negative. What I see are a lot of comments along the lines of "We were well on top at the start but now we're struggling", until we got the 2nd goal. That's not being a "negative numpty", it's exactly what was happening in the match at that time. The commentators, most definitely not Woves supporting negative numpties, were saying pretty much the same.
Yes they did but if there center half had missed it Jonny had a tap inWe scored one. They scored the other!
What the yellowprick roadshow? A hair raising experience for Dame Elton.haha take that Elton John

‘Rose tinted faff’ **** off. You were moaning like a moron pre kick off. If you have ‘supported’ this club for 52 years the way you are supporting them now then I would question your definition of support tbh. EmbarrassingSupported them for 52 years thanks.

To me, he seemed to try all of his usual tricks and flicks and they didn't come off as usual. I wish he'd play a simple pass every now and again.Think you need a new telly.
Watching him in the ground I was impressed with him. Best he’s looked for a long while.
I think saiss is a decent player at this level but he is a walking red card and he was playing against a ****e Watford team. Not disputing he was good today because he was awesome let’s just see if he can do it consistently (with Minimal diving in)
Saiss always looks like a red card waiting to happen, but luckily he usually stops at the yellow.Wasn't last week his first ever red card in English football? Complete myth about him being a "walking red card". He's an excellent footballer, hard as nails too, with a never-say-die attitude.
Saiss, Jonny and Moutinho the stand outs. Doc doesn’t look fit to me still.
If we’d have been Burnley I would think our points tally would be have been more respectable.
Our formation still isn’t clicking. Too much of a gulf between the midfield and the forwards.
A bit early I know hit we need a box to box midfielder, to compete or replace Dendoncker who is resembling a headless chicken this season.
Yes, the Donk hardly got a mention on Comms today...I agree that Doc doesn't look 100% fit. A couple of times he just looked a yard behind where he was at peak fitness, on those lung busting runs. Having said that, I thought he was close to Man of the Match for us. He clearly makes a difference. More than anything, it's his footballing intelligence and decisions these days. He's nearly always in a good position (e.g for the goal), going forward or defending. Makes the right decisions. Still think we need to transplant Doc's footballing brain into Traore's head
And Dendonker was the only downside today. A bit better, but still mostly looking kind of lost. Head or feet, the ball just seems to bounce off him to an opponent. And then he disappears for such long periods, you forget he's on the pitch. Perplexing as we know he's much better than this.

that back 3 would (and individually do) get owned by any proper centre forward looking to lead the line. Coady and saiss just can’t boss a physical forward as it’s not their bread and butter. We still need a ball playing centre half rather than 1 plus two midfielders imo.

But to cherry pick a half time comment... 'we make watford look like man city'
Mate. Dress it as you want. But there were some frankly embarrassing posts pre kick off on team selection.Saiss is a centre half, isn't he? Plays there for Morocco. Saw him play there against Spain in the World Cup. You can't get higher than that and he played really well, did a great job.
You could have had:
"Like the line up. A wonderfully attacking line up against a team that are leaking goals at the moment.
None of this pack the midfield and hope for something on the counter."
If you choose to ignore comments like that, then you are cherry picking. Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting at you in particular. Just my guess is, if you counted it up, recently, there are more comments whinging about others supposed negativity, than there are actual negative comments. It's kind of self-righteous - "Hey, I'm a real supporter not like all those masses of people who keep saying we'll be in League 1 by Christmas. Listen to them!"
A thread where someone asks "Are we the worst in the division?", where the majority of replies are that, while we have been well below par, no, we are not the worst, the table is not representative this early in the season. This becomes "lets have a go at all those pant-wetters who said we were nailed on for relegation".
Raul is a fantastic footballer, great vision. He does need a rest I thinkFully fit or not we are better when Doherty is in the team
Special thanks for the Watford midfield for letting Moutinho run the show, we played football for 15 minutes in the first half and scored
Heroes
Moutinho- superb ran the whole game
Saiss- Doherty scores one and assisted the own goal. Welcome back
Adama- getting better every time
Worries
Jiminez- wasn’t in the game enough for me
Villians
Foster- love a south bank villain who doesn’t ram it down our throats
He’s really grown on me. Hard as nails though? I don’t think so.Wasn't last week his first ever red card in English football? Complete myth about him being a "walking red card". He's an excellent footballer, hard as nails too, with a never-say-die attitude.
Donk covers a lot of ground, I actually thought he did well.
