A****n 0 Mighty Wolves 2 - Verdict thread

[WISAW]

That bloodied fans image on the daily fail looks horrific.

 

[WW1963]

Not a lot between the two sides, but £40m Cunha and probably £50m Neto, made the difference.

Almost agree.

£70m Cunha and £80m Neto.

 

[Sirstancullis]

Doyle was majestic. Never wastes a pass!!!!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Thoroughly professional job. Refused to get drawn down to their level on and off the pitch.

I love this group of players. GON too. I am so, so sorry. ****in love you mate!

 

[Stafford]

Loved this interview with Cunha.

Reporter: Did you feel safe enough to come back on the pitch after the stoppage?

Cunha: (Big smile): Yes, of course. I come from South America!

Puts it in perspective. The media go way over the top over some bottle throwing and shuffling with lots of arms in air. Cuhna must find it hilarious.

 

[Surrey Wolf]

Good solid win, happy days especially seeing their fans go full wibbler, nice look

 

[NottsWolves]

Great win, just unfortunate that it will be over shadowed by the crowd trouble.

However there was this!

 

[Kcrusader]

Voice gone, shins battered, dry mouth but absolutely gave it to the scruffy rats. Bloody lovely win and it just shows I think the game did mean something to the boiler boys

Super proud of all the Gold and Black! Come on me babbies!!!

 

[George AlooGobi]

Perfect

So proud

 

[Tojo the grass]

Get in. **** off Albion!!

Some big performances today but Kilman and Cunha were standout. Doc knew what the game was about too.

Wasn’t a good performance but it was never going to be a free flowing game for us, we dug in and got the result.

I think I was sat next to you at the start of that game young man, I saw you were posting on here so I snooped, to chicken to say anything though

 

[Tring Wolf]

Watched on a bit of a delay as kick-off clashed with my son’s team’s game against our local rivals (where we came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2).

Really pleased with how the players stood up to the physical challenge and atmosphere. Thought Kilman was immense and Doyle very good, and ultimately our superior quality told. Neto and Cunha just get what it means to us.

A BCD win, a win for my son’s team and the cricket in India. Not sure sporting days can get much better.

Safe travels back to all those who went.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Vile fans, get the **** in

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

We'd have gone on to win that 3 or 4 if the game wasn't stopped

 

[clivewolves]

A great win. We played like we were half asleep and still beat the ****. A match to endure than an enjoy for the most part. Doyle the Man of the Match. On to the next round.

 

[thommo1984]

Already annoying me that everyone is reporting it as both sets of fans fighting each other. Hope they get done by the FA.

Anyway...

Professional performance, two good goals, and a comfortable win albeit were miles off it, second half especially was infuriating before Cunha sealed it.

Well done Gary, well done lads. On we go!

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Great win, just unfortunate that it will be over shadowed by the crowd trouble.

Exactly what I thought too. Black Country fans doing the rest of the country a huge favour.

 

[Southdownswolf]

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Thought it was a pretty **** performance from us overall but it was still more than enough to beat them ****s, Doyle MOTM for me with Kilman, Toti and Semedo also putting in a good shift, Albion fans acting like the complete bellends they are and somehow Wolves are at fault according to the media

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Doyle and Dawson rock solid. Two lovely goals though

 

[Kennedy]

Bit of an anti climax...

 

[rincewind]

Have the Albion fans and their sense of superiority concocted a reason why the trouble was all Wolves fans fault yet?

 

[astraltrader]

Despite the crowd trouble - a great result for GON and the lads.
So great to watch a game without any VAR ruining things.
COYW!!

 

[Poztin]

Just back from a kids party. What did I miss?

 

[sillytuna]

Bit of an odd feeling coming out. Some albion fans had been causing trouble all through the second half and there were no away fans in the stand nearest us where trouble kept flaring up. Far end - no idea but saw a lot of concerned wba players. Heard on the way out that one of the players carries his daughter out. Their (real) fans not happy about the behaviour at all.

That aside, not a great game but we put our chances away. Wba were awful in front if goal tho can't say they really created much anyway.

Can we have maidstone at our place please?

 

[Southdownswolf]

Nothing apart from Albion fans being upset when told by their sisters/mother there's no nookie tonight

Maidstone at home would be awesome

I think it'll be Liverpool, Luton or Brighton away lol

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Just back from a kids party. What did I miss?

Just a small local match, not much really pol

 

[Topcat]

We’ll that game just shows why we’re a prem team and them lot are in the chump!

My only word to describe them is cloggers!

If they were still playing now they wouldn’t score, very poor team in my opinion.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Definitely Liverpool we always get them at some point in the FA Cup lol

Haha. Wasn’t me mate, must have been somebody else. Although I’d have given my right arm to be there today!

 

[Andywolf74]

If Carlsberg did PE teachers, GON would probably be the best PE teacher in the world.

 

[Tojo the grass]

Haha. Wasn’t me mate, must have been somebody else. Although I’d have given my right arm to be there today!

Were you in the Astoria?

 

[Darvo]

Not much of a contest really … more of a Sunday stroll in the park. Don’t think I’ve ever felt quite so relaxed in a BCD game … or so sure of the result. I lit up my big fat Cuban cigar on 47 minutes.

Not sure why WBA didn’t try harder and at least attempt to win the game. They must be saving themselves for lower league obscurity. Poor sausages.

Tommy Doyle is a great young player. Whoever got hold of him for next to nothing and sent ‘jug ears‘ packing for £50m plus deserves the freedom of the city. I’d even chuck in half a pint myself.

Cunha was superb. Love the lad.

But, I would like to call out Toti today. I liked the way he started the game. Full of intent and purpose. Determined, strong, aggressive and striving to win. Well done lad. He set the tone. However, he could have saved his energy cos my old granny could have slotted in there today and we’d have still been comfortable.

Surprised there was only 2 minutes of added time given the extended break while the Bogey fans were trying to come to terms with being very much second best. Scrap that … they didn’t even come second really. If it had been a boxing match, the towel would have been thrown in well before the end with an urgent call going out to the nearest paramedic unit.

Quite staggering the gulf between the two teams.

Wolves piddled all other the bogeys today … and then some. I’m heading off to the pub now for a celebratory pint or ten. Happy days.

 

[stever]

The Black Country is gold. Have that you stripey ****s.

 

[Poztin]

Is there anywhere legal to watch on catchup? Can't seem to get access to it on ITVX...

 

[brianm]

Maidstone at home would be awesome

Wouldn't mind another crack at Luton to be honest. One of the more frustrating games this season.

 

[Jack Russell]

Delighted to get into the 5th round against our local rivals, but a forgettable match that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Already, just looking to whom we get in the next round and Albion is out of my memory bank. Won't be watching any 'highlights', that's for sure.
Toti, Cunha, Neto and the ever-improving Doyle were our best players. Dawson had a 'mare.
Now, let's go and win it, Wolves.

Dawson did not have 'a mare'. Which game were you watching?

Player ratings from Birmingham World got it right:-

3. Craig Dawson - 8​

The former Albion man threw himself at absolutely everything, no matter where it was on the field. Dawson showed so much desire and often came out on top in physical battles. He managed the offside trap well, too.

State of them hahaha!

 

[Darvo]

What stood out for me was in the pre-match coverage, seeing Gera and Brunt being interviewed, both looking middle aged and carrying a bit of timber, and it really hit home how long ago that mini period of dominance Albion had over us was.
Today we won comfortably without really getting out of second gear, and having the talismanic Hwang and our midfield general Gomes missing.

Not 100% sure what happened in the crowd there, but clearly it meant a lot more to the Boggies support than they’ve tried to let on in the build up.

I’ve heard a rumour that the disturbance was down to a lot of confused Bogey fans all trying to find the exits at the same time. Kept running around bumping into each other.

 

[Urko]

Daz Hale on Radio WM saying the win is tainted, what an absolute tool.

He’ll probably phone in sick tomorrow with PTSD
