Why, though? From 20 mins onwards we were awful.The first half of the comms thread is an amusing read retrospectively.

Early days....but no, he didn't look special at all to me.Traveling today so followed on phone, so happy with the win.
How did Scott look for them, does he look worth all the hype?
Hope you're OK Tring? Did I see you were in hospital? If so hope things are progressing well and that you get home soon. 3 points will help the recovery!Massive result and 7 points out of 3 away games against teams likely to be involved in the relegation battle is huge.
As the OP says, thought we were marginally the better side in the first half, without many of our players actually playing well. Completely controlled the second half and thoroughly deserved the win.
Full credit to O’Neil. Agreed completely with the starting XI (thought some of the players let him down a little in the first half) and his substitutions effectively won us the game.
Dawson, Neto and Doyle the pick of the bunch for me. Lovely finish from Cunha for the first and a delightful ball from Hwang for Sasa’s winner (he can definitely finish).

Been a very tough couple of weeks personally for me and my family so very grateful to Gary and the boys for providing something to lift the gloom.

I agree. It was a tongue in cheek commentI don't see Cunha in the team if Sasa could get fit. If Cunha played in the position where he scored from then fair enough but today, as usual, he was at LB, left wing, running from mf, anywhere bar where a CF needs to be. I still think we could develop him into a decent attacking mf and leave the striking to someone else. Decent strike though!
Agreed. City turned our season around, but this was a six pointer. Hopefully the reverse fixture won't be .,... unless it's the City one !As important as the win against City.
The good thing now is that after years of only having Neves, Moutinho and Dendoncker, we now have plenty of midfield options.Don’t want to overdo the Doyle love-in.. but I’ve felt our biggest problem this year was giving the ball away too much in the middle of the park.. having him alongside the likes of Lemina/Traore.. will give us a nice balance.
I do love that Gomes is more box-to-box.. but I expect to see more of Doyle from here on.
Doyle looked the part today. You could see all his City training coming to the fore. He saw and executed some lovely passes through the lines. Who was the last Wolves player to do that?Don’t want to overdo the Doyle love-in.. but I’ve felt our biggest problem this year was giving the ball away too much in the middle of the park.. having him alongside the likes of Lemina/Traore.. will give us a nice balance.

Gone to 3 CB’s that’s whats helpedI’ve been a massive GON critic. Didn’t want him anywhere near the club, but from the last 3 games it appears I may have been wrong.
We are inconsistent but some of our play was exceptional. It has been in other games too. That move that ended with Neto putting it over the bar was as good as anything I've seen from the top sides. If that had gone in I would have been on the pitch, and I was watching it in Newcastle.
I think Doyle has vision and is very dogged.I think it was a poor performance but you'll take the result all day long. I think it was like Southampton last season. Bournemouth lost it more then we won it.
Doherty looks finished at this level. 3 year contract too!!
Gomes and Traore together lack discipline. Both want to be the one running out to press and not hold the shape. Need Lemina or Doyle to be one of them.
Doyle has good vision. He'll lose the ball but he'll get us into positions to create chances. Got something their.
I thought Hwang had a poor game. I think the crowd got to him.
Cunha was poor in the first half but much better in the 2nd.
Neto is incredible.
We were pony though and poor was an understatement
Why, though? From 20 mins onwards we were awful.
I said prime Barca but 1970 Brazil will also do! Can't believe that didn't make the sky highlights.View attachment 38013

He did ok to be fair. They lost their rhythm when he went off…Traveling today so followed on phone, so happy with the win.

Cunha wasn't great today, especially first half. However you've got to give it to him, the lad is an absolute workhorse which I think allows Neto and Hwang to thrive a bit more.He did ok to be fair. They lost their rhythm when he went off…
Totally unfit but he’s a good player you could see that. Played some nice forward passes
If Cunha didn’t score that goal he would of got 2/10 thankfully he came up with the goods
Il lay off him but really frustrating player for me. Just glad he scored hopefully a confidence booster for him to get some more. Our forwards really do need to shoot more instead of walking it into the goalCunha wasn't great today, especially first half.

O'Neil has to feel like getting Cunha into the right positions more often is a priority...there is so much potential there and the player wants it.Il lay off him but really frustrating player for me.

Made a big difference when he came on, was positive and forward thinking with the ball. Love João Gomes but our midfield balance was much better second half. Boubacar is very underrated.I think Doyle has vision and is very dogged.
Did he rhyme with Buben Cheves?Doyle looked the part today. You could see all his City training coming to the fore. He saw and executed some lovely passes through the lines. Who was the last Wolves player to do that?
Very sorry to hear that … hope things get better/easier for yo.Massive result and 7 points out of 3 away games against teams likely to be involved in the relegation battle is huge.

Doyle looks a very tidy footballer, but like those mentioned, definitely needs an athlete alongside him. He’s very lightweight and not the quickest.Did he rhyme with Buben Cheves?
Ruben and Moutinho could both do it.. but they kind of needed an athlete beside them, which they never had.
Fair enough!!! I assumed you were talking about the comments specifically how crap we were playing. Agree with your assessment then, mate!It's possible for Wolves to have an awful half of football, and not be an awful team of awful players with an awful manager though - something which seems to escape a lot of people.
I said prime Barca but 1970 Brazil will also do! Can't believe that didn't make the sky highlights.
Cunha gives you running, sasa gives you a target. I'd say it depends who we're playing.I don't see Cunha in the team if Sasa could get fit. If Cunha played in the position where he scored from then fair enough but today, as usual, he was at LB, left wing, running from mf, anywhere bar where a CF needs to be. I still think we could develop him into a decent attacking mf and leave the striking to someone else. Decent strike though!
Really sorry to read this news, Tring. Sad events are never evenly spaced throughout our lives, but all this coming in the same time period must be extremely hard for you.Thanks NNW (and others). Been a tough couple of weeks.
My Nan passed away 2 weeks ago (had a fantastic innings at 93). My Mum has cancer and was told last week they would have to stop her chemo as it has damaged her heart. Then last weekend, my Dad’s gall bladder exploded so was taken into A&E for emergency surgery. He developed sepsis so was touch and go for a couple of days but has rallied to the extent that I was able to watch the game with him today.
So have been in various hospitals across the country for the last couple of weeks (God Bless the NHS and those who work within it).
The win brought a much needed smile to our faces.

Thanks for letting me know so I wont bother coming around then.My Mrs says not tonight
Really sorry to hear this mate. Hope that your dad fully recovers and things go as well as possible for your mum. Hope that your nan RIP too.Thanks NNW (and others). Been a tough couple of weeks.
