CITY - CUP VERDICT

[Stratman Wolves]

Have at it. Immensely proud. Love this team.

 

[Macman]

Very proud but absolutely gutted we couldn't sneak it on penalties and knock them out.

 

[ShropshireLad]

Strange how quickly the mood can change from scoring the first penalty. Never mind. The glass is well more than half full.

 

[Belgian]

So sad. Very proud, but very sad. We deserved so more..

 

[citrus_wolf]

Emotional rollercoaster... so proud of this team, the strength of the Wolf is indeed the pack and to keep City out for 120 minutes is downright heroic. Boys you did us and yourselves proud... up the Wolves

 

[Tring Wolf]

So so proud of everyone associated with the club. Tactical masterclass from Nuno, incredible performances from all in old gold and unbelievable support.

On a night where everyone was outstanding, Vinagre, Hause and Bright (finishing apart) were out of this world.

Norris 8
Batth 9
Coady 9
Hause 9.5
Bennett 8
Price 8
N'Diaye 7
Vinagre 9.5
Marshall 7
Bright 9
Costa 7

 

[OsloWolf]

Loved it! They made us proud today, no doubt about it!

And that was by far the best ref we’ve had this season!

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

City came to get the club record straight wins. They didn't

Aguerro was guaranteed to break the club goals record. He didn't.

Premier league teams are playing against most of these players and getting hammered every week. We didn't.

What a squad we have. 9 changes. We matched them and on another night it could have been different. Oh well. It's not that often that you can switch focus to the league in the comfort that you're top. We are!!

 

[Craig_Wolf]

Why the hell did N'Diaye take one, he was blowing out his a*** and went down with cramp, was never gonna have enough power in his legs to do a good run up and hit

Plus Bright is crap as I said before

 

[goalden wolf]

Just think that was with in effect our 2nd string team

 

[oldgoldheart]

Very very proud. No other team has kept city to no goals

Only one I disagree with is Norris. Surely he should have been 9.5 at least.

Bright's all round play was magnificent. The only thing that let him down was his finishing.

 

[WolfOfWellington]

4 premier league pts so far this season from 2 games with our 2nd's.

Highly encouraged.

On TV Alf never looked confident of scoring his penalty. I don't hold it against him though.

We will not be thrown by it. Excellent performance tonight.

 

[WISAW]

I thought Bright was superb today, just couldn't get the finish but his overall play, running the channels and bullying defenders was excellent.

 

[tf7]

Proud

 

[Chungster]

I just got the feeling that a Greg Halford out there could have made all the difference for us in the second half....

I'd give you five Likes for those sentiments if I could. Spot on.

I thought Bright, along with the 2 goalies was the best player on the pitch. Give them all sorts of problems, was all over the pitch and was unlucky with his finishing. Their goalie closes down the space very well.

 

[Scallywolf]

Magnificent performance.

Proud of my home town team. Proud of Nuno and his staff. Proud of the fans.

Just shows our strength in depth.

Let everyone take notice, we are on our way back to the Premier League!

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Fantastic effort by everyone involved.

Bright was superb and, despite not scoring, showed how important he can be for us. I thought the back 3 were outstanding too.

Nuno, tactical genius.

So many reasons to be proud and optimistic. No fan should feel upset or down beat after that.

Focus on the league now.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Can’t be anything but proud of the team, supporters and whole club tonight. We took on the best team in the land, in their own home, with them on fire, and kept a clean sheet and had the better chances to win. The only time their class showed, was in the quality of their penalties, which were mostly unsaveable, and their goalkeeper, who made two excellent penalty saves.

The season is still young, and lots of things can still go wrong, but if anyone had any doubt before, they should no longer. We are the real deal. COYW

I thought the same thing. He'd bottled a few chances and was surprised that he stepped up so soon. Still, **** happens. Roll on Saturday and let's hope the lads get over it quickly.

 

[wolfkapiti]

Unbelievable result 0-0 at holding Man City not for 90 odd minutes but 2 HOURS.
So very proud to be a supporter.
Congratulations to Nuno and his coaching staff for an exceptional result.
Onwards and upwards to the premiership.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

What a special thing we’re building here.

That wasn’t a backs to the wall, rough em up and hang on for penalties job, there were times when we were stroking the ball around and playing out from the back.

Created more than enough clear cut chances to win a few games.

 

[Tipton Wolves]

Bright was brilliant. That young man should be proud.

 

[vini69]

What a fabulous 3 hours of entertainment ....that is, after all, what we all watch for. I have no nosebleed for the Premier league: I want a proud, organised, skillfull, tactically organised team that makes me wanna participate in whatever form I can. WHAT A PERFORMANCE. WHAT ASTUTE MANAGEMENT. I mean....my head is held high.

 

[wwbug]

Don't forget the manager - 11 points .

For Nuno to get our second string playing to a system that can hold out to that team with its Premier League and Champions League results is very special.And gives great hope for our future.

 

[Canadian Wolf]

Very very proud of my team. What heart and effort xxx

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Incredible night . Amazing to think back on those clear chances . Everyone was brilliant apart from Marshall, but special mentions for

vinagre second half and extra time,

bright apart from the finishing , but this shouldn’t be held against him. He was brilliant tonight .

Batth for one of his best performances and how far he has come with his ability to play on the floor

Hause for that performance first game back

Ronan for his part in it. Ball to bright was brilliant . And generally fantastic. Never too small to be a footballer

And the whole team for digging in so deep particularly price ndiaye and bennett who were clearly ****ed

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Motm for me was Bright. Outstanding apart from the finish.

Norris is some keeper, Coady amazing.

If we brought Jota on the bench. We could have won.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Only one I disagree with is Norris. Surely he should have been 9.5 at least.

He was excellent. There just weren't many saves that I wouldn't have expected him to make which is testament to how well he was protected.

His overall handling and distribution was superb though. On what I've seen, I think he's already better than Ruddy. And I rate Ruddy.

 

[fungusdabogeyman]

So was just reading on the City forum that they broke the rules with the extra sub in extra time. They made two in normal 90 mins then another 2 in extra but only one is allowed. Anyone confirm this rule either way?

Edit to add it is probably a non issue. Either way a cracking performance!

 

[shaygriff]

What about Ronan. He played a blinder too. Hause also impressed.

 

[rincewind]

Just fantastic and probably 9 of them won't be in the team that starts Saturday!
I just wonder though, if we'd had Jota for extra time.................?

 

[wolvesaywe]

Why the hell did N'Diaye take one, he was blowing out his a*** and went down with cramp, was never gonna have enough power in his legs to do a good run up and hit

Plus Bright is crap as I said before

The only crap on display tonight is your last sentence.

 

[Benson]

A very very very very good performance.

Back three brilliant. Vinagre had problems first half but got better and better. Bennett good, Price some misplaced passes but good. N´Diaye very good. Enobakhare MOTM for me - his best game ever for Wolves. Costa and Marshall struggled, but.. good. All were good. All worth a 10. I am proud. Very proud.

(the only detail to complain about is the Wolves fans constantly singing about Cavaleiro when 11 other heroes were on the pitch.. wtf was that about?.. back the team playing and never sing about the players on the bench when the players on the pitch are playing really really well)

 

[jrpb-3]

breat battling organised performance, massive credit to the lads and Nuno did us proud and had chances of our own too. Gutted to go out on pens, but even then no real stinkers of pens just some good saves and great pens by them

 

[Nige]

To be honest I couldn't pick 5 penalty takers out of that team.. I had Bonatini and Cav.. that's your lot...
