Bentley has to be our new number 1....Sa's confidence is shot, or he's trying to force a move away..

Rather still have Bentley in goal...

 

[greco wolf]

Would have subbed him at half time. Poor and not good enough.

That would mean certain as opposed to likely relegation.

Don’t think there’s any need for the thread title though tbf.

Complete garbage post no where near the worst player today and should not be in any discussion about the poor performance, many others players miles ahead in terms of criticism.

He was terrible today, as were others

He gives me the ****s every time the ball is played back to him. I just think he's going to try something clever and dribble past the onrushing forward. His distribution ain't great either. I'd certainly give Bentely a go at Everton.

Who, with the possible exception of Cunha, played well? Do you blame the players or the tactics?

I thought we weren't dreadful first half, we were on par and had enough decent chances to be level. God knows what went on at half time and the mental fragility showed itself as soon as they scored, it looked liked many gave up. Tactically in the second I thought we were poor, we didn't push on milner despite his lack of pace and yellow card and we looked leggy in midfield which wasn't really addressed. I don't think Sa was a reason or contributed to our loss, I think that lay elsewhere and the abuse towards him so far is unwarranted in this game.

While he did push the ball out after the initial shot that led to their second it was into a wide position and you'd expect a recent defence to deal with that.

I would indeed

 

[reanswolf]

I hate Wolves fan base when like sheep they decide to pick on a player low on confidence.

 

[chignalwolf]

Told the fans to have a go in goal after getting criticised for another crap pass

but would he pay any fan over £3 million a year, cause that's what we are paying him,

 

[Darvo]

If we were in a position to strengthen, I’m afraid that goalkeeper would be fairly high up on the wish list.

 

[TheConcourse]

The worst distribution in the league. Has to be. He’s just erratic in every moment. The last thing you want from a keeper is to be erratic.

Whenever the ball goes back my heart rate increases with every touch he takes.

 

[Darvo]

Great teams are built from the back. He has a clanger or two him in every single game (and got away with his mistakes today). I wouldn’t pick him out for special criticism today but to think he is not part of our problems is plain deluded.

 

[groundhogwolf]

I don’t think all the rumours pre season about him moving have helped, even in the training videos he doesn’t look like he is enjoying being here.
No player intentionally plays badly, but it is crucial we sort this out.

 

[wolfslair]

So does Jose Sa.

He is on par when you put everything together in terms of on the ball technique, footwork and shot stopping with messlier who many mock on here.

I'm not saying that l'm happy with Sa. I posted on here before that l was certain that had JL stayed with the resources he'd been promised then a new keeper would have been high up his list.

 

[Bostin]

I noticed that Brighton constantly passed it back to their keeper today. When we pressed them, they calmly passed it between the back 5 and found an out ball.

Not a murmur of discontent from their fans.

Wolves fans panic EVERY time our keeper gets the ball.

Yeah Sa isn’t great but I’m not sure the unnecessary panicking from 30,000 people helps either.

 

[maws]

I didn’t realise how easy that first save was, he can catch that easily

 

[Contrarian]

The point is that there are no other threads with "A.N. Other" is a clown. Sa is being scapegoated. He looks shaky distributing the ball and playing outfrom the back - as does every single one of them. And none of the goals were his fault. And it's not Sa who keeps missing chance after chance. Or getting sent off for petulance.

I’m sure people were saying that about Steele, he did ok today

 

[Deleted member (smith)]

One week it’s apologies to Gary O’Neill…same week it’s O’Neill out. Hero to zero in minutes . This board is schizophrenic …that I can take but the constant abuse of our players and the outright ignorance of realities leading to further abuse of management , owners etc adds to the toxicity of the board. I joined hoping to get news and views but I have decided to leave.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Thing is, he isn't rubbish, we know that because we all watched him the season before last. Currently though he's making a lot of poor decisions. Rushing out and poor distribution much more than shot stopping and crosses, where he's pretty solid.

Brighton fans are used to it and getting good football. Wolves fans haven't seen good football with playing out from the back, so it'll take time. Personally I'm fine with trying it and understand what they're trying to do, but can also understand the panic that sets in

Yeah it’s definitely the fans’ fault again.

Bentley is no better, more glued to his line than Michael Oakes.

If we had the money than Sa would've been replaced, unfortunately, we don't have a pot to **** in.

 

[bigwolf]

Sa has not taken Semedo's clown crown just yet.

He is rubbish, it only took one season for other clubs to pick out how to exploit his weakness with where to shoot e.g play headers down towards his feet or attack the near post and play balls low and hard that force him to come out and sweeper keep.

He is technically very very poor with his footwork and his speed across the floor to change direction is poor because he is too prone to planting his feet flat in the floor rather then loading to the balls of his feet to allow a good dive or ability to spring quickly into a change of direction.

his positioning for shots from distance and where to base himself for anyone coming at him from an angle is weak also.

 

[wolfslair]

They are the two weakest players in the front line squad by some distance.

He’s been appalling for a year or more now.

 

[floydstreet]

Good goalkeeper who frankly helped keep us up last season. However the way we want to play, doesn’t suit his ability with his feet.

This style which is everywhere now is trained in academies meaning future goalies will all be great with feet and expect to play like that. Issue witt Sa is of course he wasn’t trained up to do this so is adapting rather than it being a skill of proficiency

You’ve got views you’ve just decided they’re toxic!

You’re probably best leaving, Google echo chambers they’ll suit you right down to the ground!

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

I don’t think his head or is heart is at Wolves at the minute.

 

[Wolfman jack]

Why play out from back when we clearly don’t have the players to do it?

 

[MasWolf]

I have no idea what has happened to him. When he first arrived, his distribution was much better than Rui's (who was also very crap at it). However now, I'd prefer Rui's awful goal kicks to Doc over what Sa is doing.

 

[floydstreet]

Of course back to Semedo zzzzzzz
Did he have a good game of course not, was he excellent Vs Man Utd yes

Did we as a team and GON as a coaching team make the exact same tactical mistake as in the same fixture last season ?, yes they did

Which is essentially not dealing with the overload on the left side. Allowing Brighton to stretch play and then between estupian, Mitoma have a 2 vs 1 Vs Semedo with Neto not tracking back. It’s far too simplistic to say goals came down Mitomas side therefore semedo at fault. He was isolated and had no support, we as a club didn’t deal with the speed of movement, passing and play that Brighton used on occasions.
