Brighton v Wolves comms thread.

[OLDGOLD]

Lucky to go in level and Cunha needs to chill. He has been targeted and although unfair he's gotta let it go.

 

[Rabid Wolf]

Oh so Cunha was booked for persistent fouling? What the actual ****??

TNT talking ****e.

 

[Fenrir_]

I disagree with taking Cunha off - 1000%

A good manager tells him to wind his neck in, be professional and have the last laugh by getting the winner.

A **** ref will give him a second yellow the moment a Brighton player goes down squealing when he's gone for a challenge with Cunha. I trust Cunha to rein it in far more than I trust the ref

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

Pawson always favours the home team when he is refereeing so this isn't a surprise - he's a coward.

 

[Hawkguy]

Call me crazy, but Neto kind of makes us one dimensional offensively on the break.

 

[Fenrir_]

TNT talking ****e.

They'll have got the report from the official, so that's the reason he got a yellow

 

[Willywolf]

Kidman should have dragged Cunha down the tunnel at the end.

And that’s the bit that possibly shows he’s not a strong or particularly memorable captain.

 

[ombyman]

I agree, dont send him out again.

they have 15 mins now to calm him down and convince him to stick the ball in the net to shut the home fans up and that cant Gilmour

 

[OLDGOLD]

If only there was a system to assist referees on incidents that happen in this fast paced game. Variable Angle Replays or something?

Yeah, you would think they could do something with technology or summat eh...?

 

[StaffordWolf]

Brighton scared ****less of Cunha on the counter.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Is 2 yellows even a ban?

 

[wolvesjoe]

The ultimate revenge is for Cunha to win the game for us. Keep him on or its a signal to every team in the league that he can be targeted

Good point.....but I still think he is going to get sent off and we will then lose the game.

Would have been nice to have another centre forward to bring on, dont you think....

 

[astraltrader]

Pleased it is nil nil at half time.
Really don't like us playing in red.
And yes, the ref is strange.

I hate us playing in red as well.
Why the hell are we not playing in our gold and black??
The ref is a total joke as well why Cunha was booked I will never know.
Anyway here is to a much better half.
COYW!!

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Neto needs to work harder and stop moaning
Doc needs to play on the right or not at all
Cunha needs to focus and calm down
Sarabia needs to come off
Otherwise fine

Neto has been whiny I have to say I think he's a still a yard off fully fit so isn't running as hard. Definitely use Hugo if he's fit enough.

 

[SA Wolf]

For those suggesting Cunha should be substituted; that's what Brighton want. They are scared of him, his pace and he's our best chance for a goal. Yes, he needs to calm it and hopefully GON reinforces this; but why take our best player off. That's playing into Brighton's hands.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

We need a ****ing no 9.

 

[Glow69]

I think folk are underrating our performance abit psychologically these lot live rent free in our head. We're doing okay.

 

[Greeno]

Kilman should have dragged Cunha down the tunnel at the end.

I was looking for him to say

“Right, lads… shut up and let’s talk about it at HT - the game has another half to go, nothing is settled yet”

Alas… he’s a bit…. Weak?

 

[Wolf in the Lions' Den]

TNT talking ****e.

To be fair, they've been pretty outraged at the refereeing on our behalf for most of the half (in between dissing Neto for being too sloppy and stroppy).

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I think gomes could play lwb even if we bought on Santi Bueno for doc

 

[luiandlui]

Yeah, only intercepted the ball twice.

What has Cunha done today except some bad touches?

We know what kind of player Sarabia is. He needs the ball at his feet and players moving into the box. He's not crap because we have been on the back foot most of the time.

It's insane to me how we always need a scapegoat.

Glad I wasn't around here in the League 1 says when the whole team was ****

Haha, I was sort of agreeing with you. He hasn’t been great but nobody has in an attacking sense. I don’t just remember League 1 but the fourth division in the 80s, whether Pablo Sarabia is playing well is the least of my issues !!

 

[Howler]

The (lack of) competent refereeing in the richest league in the world is quite something.

 

[Hawkguy]

We need a ****ing no 9.

Yup. We sure do. The year we've scored the most in the PL without a real #9. But we surely need one!

 

[thommo1984]

Where are people seeing the elbow on Cunha or are you just basing it on the grainy footage from the roof of the stadium?

Genuine question btw

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Take Cunha off. Bring Chirewa on and just ask him to put Gilmour into hospital.

Hahahahah I was hoping Lemina would do that

 

[Monketron]

We need a ****ing no 9.

Yep if we're going to play like this we absolutely do.

 

[Contrarian]

Lucky not to have conceded, but at the same time got into decent positions, mainly from Brighton overplaying. Got a feeling we will capitalise on a mistake by Brighton this half.

Cunha needs to cool off - totally understand his frustrations and the referee hasn't done his job to protect him from the obvious treatment he is getting from Gilmour. But don't get sent off for lack of discipline.

Neto looking dangerous, Sarabia not so much. As a team we just don't seem on the same page. Also really lack the outball and drive on the left side without RAN in the team - makes a huge difference.

Yes, thats how it looks to me, too. Defensively, we're making Brighton have to work really hard for anything and it's done well so far. On the counter, we've had 2 or 3 golden opportunities that we could have done more from, but have looked unsure as to what the final ball should be, as well as executing it very badly every time. A couple of times the ball was fizzed across and there was nobody in the Brighton area. Missing Hwang for the finish, perhaps.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

No changes second half.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I think folk are underrating our performance abit psychologically these lot live rent free in our head. We're doing okay.

Agreed they have been spanking us this a great platform away!!

 

[VancouverWolf]

Well let’s see if Gary has them focused on winning this half

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Anyone think we should take Cunha off?

Absolutely walking red card with the officials like they are. Get Bellegarde on with Mosquera

 

[NothingButNeto]

Take Cunha off. Bring Chirewa on and just ask him to put Gilmour into hospital.

That’s what Yerson is for. Loves a tackle

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

Neto has been whiny I have to say I think he's a still a yard off fully fit so isn't running as hard. Definitely use Hugo if he's fit enough.

I agree. One other thing he doesn't do is track back at all defensively so I hope our fullbacks are on their game, I would be worried if Hugo came on.

 

[Monketron]

Where are people seeing the elbow on Cunha or are you just basing it on the grainy footage from the roof of the stadium?

Genuine question btw

I don't think Cunha gets as wound up as he did if he wasn't hit in the face.

 

[Longford Wolf]

If we show a bit of ambition, we’ll beat theses. Doc off, he’s slower than me, Sarabia struggling, Cunha needs to calm down

 

[thommo1984]

Is 2 yellows even a ban?

Are you seriously asking if someone gets suspended for getting sent off lol

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I agree. One other thing he doesn't do is track back at all defensively so I hope our fullbacks are on their game, I would be worried if Hugo came on.

He's not tracking back because he's not quite fit enough he was start of the season

 

[djmikeydickens]

A game with hardly any tackles or needle and the ref has lost control completely all of his own making and incompetence. Come on Matheus go bang some goals in and show em

 

[Spellbinder]

Cunha on the follow up over the bar
