Wolves v Brentford comms thread.

[Mile End Wanderer]

Poor showing so far. Cunha going off has hurt us but not sure what Bellegarde offers that far forward he’s better deeper and bringing the ball forward. Should of put Fraser on…..

We’ve been poor deservedly behind

 

[The Clock]

... that we are cursed! As soon as a player starts looking real class for us, they seem to get injured


We did. Neto's fitness still has doubts.

Diego Costa next week

 

[Ned]

Much better end to the half but the tempo and pressure still isn’t there. Neto should have done better with his chance but they should be a couple up really so, swings and roundabouts.

Maybe Doyle for Cunha might have been a better option than Bellegarde, who is really struggling for any impact since he came back from injury and suspension.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Just knew we would lose today

Why don't you start a half time thread then?

 

[Contrarian]

He usually ends up losing the ball in his feet. It's like his head needs to catch up with his feet.

Definitely making more confident runs though.

Lacks the proverbial football brain. ALways has done. Can burn past any player, do the most outrageous skills.. then.. ????

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Again we look jaded that week took it out of us so bad missing cunha clearly missing hwang as a 9 should have bought Fraser on.

Ran the stand out fantastic defending, need to get Neto isolated

Lemina and homes both look off it

I'd bring in Doyle while they are playing 11 men behind ball

And SA must stop passing out from back


Just look a team who have played a lot of games and given out a lot of emotion

 

[Fenrir_]

Well that was awful. Another really slow start, we finally conceded and then we woke up. Here's hoping we get a second half similar to the last home game (I'm hating that I'm not there this week!)

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Although Sa has been his customary haphazard self we can't blame him for looking **** from front to back, get Fraser on.

 

[Big Mack]

Poor. Some looked like they were believing the hype until the goal.

Bees tactics clearly to score and then hold us at arms length. Bar Netos header it’s working

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

In what mix?

The mix for a European place. Add 3 points to where we are today and we go above Newcastle, a point off West Ham and 3 points off 6th.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Could do with some actual end product from him.

So you want him to be 3x better than everyone else today? Tough critic.

 

[SA Wolf]

All 12 below the standard they set against Chelsea. Now for GON to make it clear that playing like that at home is unacceptable.

 

[tamwolf]

Ever heard of the Radio Times. They shift a fair few copies.

Of course I've heard of it. Not looked at a copy for about 20 years though.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Dreadful, somehow worse than the Utd first half. Only positive is that we're still in the game, we don't deserve to be.

Yet another static, slow start.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Playing ing wrong position needs to replace sarabia as a 10/cm

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

I hope GON can rouse them at HT. That was lacklustre and with Cunha going off it just makes it worse. Not sure where Bellegarde’s best position is but it sure isn’t a central striker. We need more speed in our attacks everything is far too slow. We also need to get more bodies in the box when on the attack.

 

[Bryce]

I hate Frank
He is an absolute irritant

Agreed id bring Fraser on as a focal point and Doyle

 

[marrs-guitar]

Deservedly behind after such a lethargic start, right from kick-off. it looked like the mentality was all wrong.

Our defending of corners has become pathetic in the last month, we flood the box and still fail to attack the ball coming in. Sa all over the shop in the first half, teeing up Brentford for several attacks with his awful distribution and lucky to get away with not conceding as a result.

This Bellagarde plan from GON is desperate stuff. How many times must it fail before they come up with an alternative... admittedly the alternatives are low because we voluntarily loaned out a perfectly decent number 9 to Frankfurt just to save 4 months' wages....

I think we need Doyle on sooner or later. The ideas from midfield are very much lacking.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Always going to be tough to go 4 unbeaten against the same opposition in a short space of time.

They’ve had the better chances and deservedly ahead but the vast majority have come from Sa’s distribution.

Still plenty of time but not looking great at the moment.

 

[thommo1984]

Ever heard of the Radio Times. They shift a fair few copies.

Dunno why but found this post hilarious. Pure Alan Partridge. High point of the match so far, cheers.

 

[BCWolf]

A dreadful start compounded by an injury and absolutely woeful defending.

Simply cannot afford Dawson to have a stinker every other game. His defending on their goal was really poor.

As for Sa, I would congratulate him on his shot-stopping if it wasn't for the fact he creates so many opportunities for the opposition.

Would have preferred Fraser over Bellegarde in a 4-3-3, or Doyle as a CAM and push RAN up might have been better.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

I'd go 4-3-2-1 with bellegarde Neto in behind Fraser and Doyle in the centre

Take of Dawson,

Gomes and kilman as gomes has pace to cover

 

[bod101]

Too many players out wide nothing in the middle. Very predictable play by us.

 

[Wolf316]

There’s no way Sasa would have been worse upfront than Bellegarde

Maybe get Doyle on for Gomes and go for it

 

[Bryce]

The only way is up

Really lacking the hwang focal point todauy

 

[Contrarian]

So you want him to be 3x better than everyone else today? Tough critic.

Not just today. I would like him to add to his season total of 0 goals 0 assists. All the fancy runs and flicks in the world are not much use when they end up with nothing.

 

[Bryce]

The only way is up

Bellegarde to score a worldy

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Should be 3 down tbh so at least its only one
We are not winning headers against these so play it round the sides to feet
Neto wasted so wide and actually getting in RANs way at times
Can still get something here but need to go up a gear and move the ball faster

 

[Super NES]

A below par performance - we really should be down by another goal or two, largely due to Sa trying to play out and creating our own problems.

Brentford are sitting deep, but we need to try and move the ball quicker to try and open pockets of space. RAN has played very well, but would like him to be picking up the ball where Toti currently is on the left side and be direct. The Brentford back line don't appear so assured the second somebody runs at them.

I'm not convinced we won't concede again as they look dangerous, but we will have chances. Need to keep our heads though as Brentford will be slowing the game down as much as possible this half.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Yet another static, slow start.

It's a common theme, even if we don't concede, we nearly always find ourselves on the back door first 20.

 

[Jamwolf]

In terms of good chances they should be 4-1 up.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Ran is best player on pitch for us if you see the slide he saved from Collins **** me.. Neto needs to let ran bomb on there very slow and lethargic in build up

 

[sillytuna]

Should have put fraser on. Bellegarde's wasted and not in the game at all. I'd rather have Doherty up front.

We've been far too slow and lack movement, plus awful mistakes mean we should be losing by more. Brentford haven't had to create - we did all their work for them.

 

[Willenhall wanderer]

Cant blame manager and tactics today so many players are off it probably only Ran and Sarabia doing anything

 

[Hawkguy]

I'd go 4-3-2-1 with bellegarde Neto in behind Fraser and Doyle in the centre

Take of Dawson,

Gomes and kilman as gomes has pace to cover

So take off our player creating the most chances this game?

 

[VancouverWolf]

We are sloppy, patchy, can’t get flowing,

 

[Barnet Wolves]

Lacks the proverbial football brain. ALways has done. Can burn past any player, do the most outrageous skills.. then.. ????

I disagree, RAN makes intelligent runs, gets into positions using football smarts. His assists stats will improve as he gets better. Still only a kid really. He aint no headless chicken, gets into the box more than a LWB should and his movement creates so much space for others.

A football brain with crazy legs is what RAN is.
