Burnley verdict thread

[Glow69]

Those are the wins you need and to be able to do it on that way.

 

[Timberwolf]

Not a spectacle was it, but nevertheless a welcome three points.
I don't understand why we have to have all eleven players in the box for an oppositions corner. Surely one player on the half way line would draw a couple of their players back to cover.
Perhaps someone can explain, as I'm mystified.

It worked, didn’t it?

 

[Matt]

Delighted to grind out the win. It was a really tough watch and a really poor performance imo, but a very welcome three points. Hopefully we play much better at the weekend.

 

[Surrey Wolf]

Painful viewing but worth it for a win

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

Everything about that game felt a bit championship.

Really glad to have won it and bank some more points though
Find a way to win on Sat and wee sitting very pretty

 

[Timberwolf]

Credit where it’s due…after the shambolic officiating this season, I thought the ref tonight was excellent. Some decisions didn’t go our way but overall, he was really good…and no, I’m not his dad.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Comment from an Everton ST holder:
90 minutes of my life I won’t get back but good 3 points

 

[astraltrader]

Although not our best performance it was a great result.
I thought Bentley did very well. Semedo and Sarabia were probably our best outfield players.
Three lovely points...
COYW!!

He and Mario obviously really really don't like each other lol....

He won’t get those 10 points back either but hey

 

[WickedWolfie]

He actually reckons that they got away lightly.

 

[lobodelsur]

Credit to Lemina for the press, Sarabia for the little dinked pass to Cunha, to Cunha for his pass and to Hwang for his calmness for the goal. Note though that Bentley's double save came because we *****d up a throw in. Bueno could have taken it quickly to Toti who was free, but gave him the ball instead. By the time Toti took it Burnley had closed us down leading Toti and Joao to getting in a mess and gift Burnley a chance.
Ponderous, uninspiring performance. I think GON didn't get his tactics right tonight, but TBF hasn't had much time to study Burnley.

 

[yateleywolf]

Saw on Amazon Prime and watching us first half pass it around the back made me realise why I was keen for us to move away from five at the back. It's dull . Second half was an improvement we largely controlled it.
Hwang's been a revelation this season glad the club was patient with him and he signs new contract.
I'm sure the atmosphere and performance be better vs Forest.

 

[wallace]

A solid performance without thrills. Pleased to see Sarabias skills showing in the second half as he got up to pace in the premiership after a in and out first half, he has the ability to make killer passes when on form. Oneil has the team playing for each other, we never had to play at the top of our game after Hwang took his goal so clinically.

 

[S G Wolves]

Poor performance, probably our worst at home this season. Still good 3 points.

This is the kind of game where we would have got a point in the recent past.

Happy and relieved with the win. That's all.

 

[Bostin]

Defence and keeper good, Semedo MOTM.

Sums up the performance.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

The win tonight was everything. Performance was poor; lethargic and lacking creativity and in attacking endeavour. But now just 6 points off Europe and 11 off 18th. Win on Saturday and we really can start looking up the table and with the ****e at the bottom we realistically will have no relegation worries this season.

 

[thommo1984]

Going further forward we need more energy and zip in our passing and attacking movement.

Yep, that first half was painful. Need much better ideas and way more risk taking. Just did the same thing over and over and over again.

Comfortable second half but barely mustered a shot. Take the 3 points and move on to Forest.

 

[Oliwolf44]

Defence and keeper good, Semedo MOTM.

Sums up the performance.

agree semedo was good. only one who injected pace into the game. Dawson back makes us look so more solid also.

 

[Stourport wolf]

Yes Ruben! What a guy.

I would love him to come back to Wolves and manage us, when he retires as a player. He gave half his playing career to us and will always be a legend at our special football club.
He believed in us and was major part of waking the sleeping giant, which is Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.

 

[JadeWolf]

Poor game. Sarabia MOTM for me, the one little spark of creativeness. Pleased with the clean sheet, we’ve not kept enough this season. Burnley are a poor, poor side.

 

[Tired&Emotional]

Dawson killed their play it direct tactic they used against Sheffield United.

 

[Starsky]

Rather a patchy win than playing well and getting robbed by VAR.

Hwang could get 15 this season which would be remarkable.

Desperate for another pacey winger.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Burnley trying to play champagne football on a strongbow budget.

 

[BillyBoots]

Clean sheet beat a bogey team and officials didn't screw us over. What's not to like

 

[waggys left foot]

Gonna miss Hwang when he goes to the Asian cup

 

[wwbug]

We are still playing 8 defensive players and 3 offensive players as we have for last 5 years . When will be able to move forward from this ?

 

[Tired&Emotional]

Still playing 8 defensive players and 3 offensive players . Like we have for last 5 years . Against a weaker team st home !

And won 1-0.

 

[Hot Fuss]

Well done boys, great result. every game is a challenge for us and we saw it through.

Up the Wolves.

 

[UEAwolf]

Turgid game and damn it was cold. Glad to be home!!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Very fortunate.

Playing out from the back so slow. Honestly beyond belief , and that’s not even starting on the goal kicks.

So much better when we play more direct .

Subs were poor - Doyle should have come on for Lemina.

A lucky bounce at a corner late on and we drop points there .

Got away with one - but result is all that matters

 

[wwbug]

And won 1-0.

That’s important. More so for those who stay at home .

 

[John Wolves Fan]

A huge 3 points and close to breaking the top ten.

Hats off to GON

 

[Tired&Emotional]

That’s important. More so for those who stay at home .

I wouldn't know as I was there.

 

[Hazza]

Desperate for another pacey winger.

Neto?

 

[BillyBoots]

Turgid game and damn it was cold. Glad to be home!!

We were glad to be there stuck on a bloody broken down tram for half an hour missed the first 10 mins

 

[sc91]

One for the purists that.

 

[WW1963]

O'Neil said: "I think it was a massive win for us because I have watched a lot of Burnley. They are very well organised and every team I have watched struggled to progress up the pitch with the ball."

Seems that he did his homework, regardless of all the moaning from some who went.

 

[bully306]

MOTM sarabia. Clever, creative, got in good positions, battled well, offers something different. Yes hes slow but we knew that, still had a few good dribbles. Its like hes a different player now. Deserves to keep his place.

 

[wwbug]

I wouldn't know as I was there.

It wasn’t personal I didn’t say you weren’t. But fans who pay and travel would like more attacking play ..
But 8 defensive players against Burnley ( 7 points from 14 matches ) at home ! Are we that weak after 6 years in this league ?
