Magnificent - Brentford Verdict Thread

[StaffordWolf]

This extra game might help keep the lads match sharp.

 

[WickedWolfie]

A thoroughly professional performance while playing against the cheating opposition and dodgy as hell officials. João was stupid to give them the chance to screw us. Well done GON and the players.
I loved Sa giving their fans what for and really really want to see Maupay get the full Danny Mills treatment at the replay.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Amazing goal from Doyle.

Absolute legend Sa at the end. Love to see the passion.

 

[SuperGran]

Players are playing with passion and resilience something we haven’t seen since the early nuno days

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Also if my beloved Ruben had smashed that in we’d be jizzing ourselves all over the place. Let’s not undersell that finish just because he’s not Tominio Doyliniho.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Want to some up Brentford?

Around 80 odd minutes they have a corner, it drifts to the back post and on to the touchline, a Brentford player backed into another Brentford player and IMMEDIATELY threw himself to the floor.

He dived after being caught by a fellow player!!!

Really hope they go down, they're pretty much dross.

They should have had the two reds as mentioned, and it's a joke they weren't given. I mean you see the ref hand gesture that Goes had to go for going over the top and rolling the lads ankle, and it was a red all day, I hope the Brentford player is ok, and João isn't too shocked about causing the injury. But to gesture that as the reason and not even give a freekick against Doyle is shocking.

The simple question needs to be asked, is this corruption or gross incompetence, because either way a remedy needs to be sought.

Away from the bull****, I thought we dug in and down and played a spirited game of football. Loved Sarabia getting ugly and stuck in to them, always great to see someone fighting like that when I thought they wouldn't. Backline were great barring a lapse for their goal which emerged from some horrendous pinball amongst the area to be fair to them.

Eh? No-one has undersold Doyles screamer, everyone is loving it.

Amazing what a difference it makes. Can forgive so many more mistakes etc when you know they're out there giving it their all and playing for the shirt.

Chino ****ers can dish it but not take it. Let's give a real Molineux reception to Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter and Maupay. The full Danny Mills make 'em cry treatment!

 

[wwbug]

Can we appeal against the red for Gomes ?

 

[Himleywolf]

i've replied on this below...he can play after 17th Jan.

The replay date has not been confirmed.. I'm hoping 15

i've replied on this below...he can play after 17th Jan.

Don't think he would be able to play anyway as he wasn't available for tonight's game.

 

[WickedWolfie]

That's the loudest they've been all night, the sound of them tapping on their keyboard.

Make Fulham fans look passionate!

 

[Premier Quality]

That one was one of many baffling decisions tbf. He gave a lot of decisions tonight on pure guesswork

Maupey pulled semedos shirt and pulled him over

 

[Glass ankles]

To think we've shipped out that rat for Doyle and can bag him for such a small fee is absolutely belting business.

Going from strength to strength. I think he'll be an amazing player for us over time.

 

[Incognito]

Doyle amazing tonight. Not just his goal but the way he stepped up after Gomes's red card. Defo MOTM performance topped with that superb goal. The ref has to be called out though for being obviously a CHEATING ****! How on earth Bentford finished with 11 men on the pitch after the stamp on Doyle and the hands raised on Semedo, I don't know. It's sad that football officiating in this country has become so corrupt. It's so obvious now. Anyone who thinks they're just inept, needs to get their heads out of the sand! They're both red cards and obvious "errors". Oh well, even with that against us, our old gold heroes survived to fight another day. Thought everyone did their bit, bar Doc who was poor. Where was Hugo Bueno tonight? Final word for our fans there tonight. You were magnificant!

That was his weaker foot.

Hugo Bueno has a minor injury.

[Fenrir_]

Can we appeal against the red for Gomes ?

Yes and although normally I'd say no point, I think we should purely on the basis of Damsgaard not getting any punishment for a similar - arguably worse - challenge

Thought Doc played well tonight!!!!

I ****ing love this team.

I agree.

[steve vena]

Thought Doc played well tonight!!!!

Me too mate. Nice and steady.

 

[Kcrusader]

I feared the worst after the shocking red card - I didnt even know he was sent off until a few mins later when my mate told me - it was that inconspicuous!

But….each and every Wolves player battled to the death and it was picked up by the away fans. Every tackle, clearance and attack was roared on by the Wolves faithful and duly acknowledged by the players (Cunha giving it some). When the team and fans align that’s what being Wolves is all about! Very proud of the lads and fans tonight after a stellar performance - long may it continue! FWAW

 

[S G Wolves]

Just got back.

Firstly can I just say our fans were unreal. No idea what they sounded like on tv but created some atmosphere.

The players are playing for their shirts, their manager and the fans. They really do give a **** and it shows. The bond between the team and fans is getting stronger. There will be some ups and downs but they'll get proper backing from the crowd I'm sure.

Battled superbly, really happy with the spirit. 11 v 11 we easily smash them.

The ref was turd. Believe in the cup and you just never know.

Well done mate, the away support was tremendous.

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

Yes, so VAR want to intervene for the Gomes tackle, fair enough, but not interested in a very similar foul on Doyle or the hand to the throat of Semedo. Bias or incompetence?

Why an 'either or'? Surely both in evidence all season!

 

[Norwegian Wolf]

3 things stand out for me tonight:

1) the team spirit amongst the players, battling for each other throughout in defiance of being a man down for 80+ minutes
2) the bond and respect that the players and the away support showed each other for their efforts, and
3) Tommy Doyle, who chased, harried, closed down, ran the show going forward and smashed home a scorcher for the memory bank

O'Neil | 'The lads refused to get beat'

Gary O’Neil praised the character and fight his players showed in the FA Cup round draw with Brentford which saw his team battle from behind despite pla...

www.wolves.co.uk

...On Gomes’ sending off
“I could see it and I know Joao so it’s difficult for me to disconnect myself from knowing what Joao is and how honest he is and he wouldn’t do anything like that on purpose. But when you look at the incident in slow motion, I understand that it probably doesn’t look great, so I can accept it.
“I find it staggering that they haven’t had one or two sent off. I thought the tackle on Tommy Doyle on the far touchline was straight leg, over the ball, straight down on Tommy’s leg with studs – I thought that was equally as bad as Joaos, and then grabbing Nelson round the throat at the end, my bench were making the normal noises when they saw it.
“I said, ‘It’s alright, VAR will definitely send him off. It’s definitely a sending off.’ But oh no, it’s just a yellow for Lewis-Potter and Nelson can also have a yellow. I was really surprised, but I just deal with my group and what we have.”...

PS...Wolves crowd, very loud and very proud, on TV here in Asia

[brianm]

Wow, when you look at the schedule ..the difference between the replay and not is having joao available to face Chelsea on 3 days rest after Manchester United...really big for rotation for that match.

 

[NJ Wolves]

What an effort. I love this team -- you could see the desire to see it out at the end with Cunha and Neto hustling to get back defensively.

Also, it seems like we've made a conscious effort to stop lunging into tackles in our own box.

 

[Hawkguy]

Can we appeal against the red for Gomes ?

Why? It was a red. Even GON said he understands the red.

The worst part, for me, was the stuff with Semedo at the end. Bonkers how that was let go.

 

[SA Wolf]

I'm not sure it was a red. Seemed fairly innocuous. The stamp on Doyle and Beatrix Potter grabbing Semedo by the throat were far-more deserving of a red imo.

 

[Hawkguy]

The stamp on Doyle was far less impactful than what Gomes did. Now, the stomp on Doyle should have been penalized too, but I'd definitely say you're letting bias get the best of you.

There was no malicious intent from Gomes, but it was a really, really bad challenge that left a player injured.

 

[Flea]

Joao is not a red card for me.Bright yellow and especially since Damsgard getting away unpunished for a similar challenge on Doyle.
Read a little bit of the commentary thread in real time,saw that some gave up after Brentford took the lead.
We are not a team to give up on,under any circumstances.
Real proud of our performance yesterday,and the lads deserves full credit for getting a result despite the questionable circumstances.
Sa didn´t put a foot wrong.Defence as a unit worked well.The more I see of Tommy Doyle the more I like.Biggest no brainer in the history of football buying him from City.
Attack naturally crippled via Joaos sendoff,still worked their socks off and Neto getting some valuable minutes as well.

It was a great team effort from a group of players we should all be proud of.
The turnaround even since Brighton away last season is remarkable.
Gary O Neils barmy army ay we.
Looking forward to our next fixture.
These are good days to be a Wolves fan.I´m enjoying every minute of it.
We trash them in the replay.

The fact it was less impactful is just luck though, Damsgaard could easily have caused Doyle some serious damage but fortunately, he didn’t. I can accept the Gomes red if Damsgaard also sees red. Once again it’s the inconsistency that is so infuriating.

 

[KnowNuttin]

I'm getting flashbacks from last seasons 3rd round tie at Anfield. Royally shafted by the ref/VAR and ending up with a replay... This feels like a good replay though given the circumstances, whereas last year's felt like a kick in the nuts.
I hope we really turn up at Molineux and absolutely hammer em out of sight, I just hope the players don't think all they have to do is turn up. I'm sure GaryO won't let that happen though.

No, not biased at all. I'm generally more-forgiving of referees than most on here, but still don't think it a red and in this case, the ref got it wrong. Neither did Liam Keen or Nathan Judah in the post-match Vlog. Just have to agree to disagree!
