Wolves v West Ham United comms thread.

[Ches78]

GON's hands are tied - about as good as he can put out. Chiwome and Fraser don't look ready to start and we might get a bit exposed playing both RAN and H Bueno on the left, although obviously Doc isn't ideal either. Fingers crossed we get to 60+ mins level and bring on Cunha in the hope he works some magic...

 

[Wolf 82]

Hopefully luck is on our side today and we can pick up some lovely points.

Would be happy to see Cunha get a decent run out and win us the game.

 

[lobodelsur]

That isn’t what your post said.

You said there is no pace in that line up…….

There is some pace in it.

I also would say Lemina isnt slow either

Fair enough - I should have said my concern is a lack of pace in attack.
For me RAN is more effective manipulating the ball rather than relying on pure pace.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

3-5-2
Doc and RAN up front........

I wonder if GON is trying to make a point?

 

[FJRWolf]

Just a little over reaction.

Yeah both those teams would turn their noses up at Kilman, Semedo, RAN, Gomes, Lemina, Sarabia

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I wonder if GON is trying to make a point?

Let’s have faith. We have players to bring on!?

Come on you Wolves

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Just a little over reaction.

I think he means with lack of proper attackers but we loaned our back up out.

Stupid decisions win stupid prizes especially if we pick up more injuries today….

 

[oldgold4ever]

The pessimistic Wolf inside feels like a heavy defeat incoming. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

 

[wolfslair]

To be fair, I have said multiple times I could see doc being a useful player in a pinch at striker.

He has good movement in the box and can finish.

I am surprised it has taken this long for that to happen to be honest…….

 

[SA Wolf]

According to the tv Doyle is going to be playing centre forward.

He was good for Mick, but maybe a little over-the-hill, now.

 

[Wolf316]

I’m sure Gary would love to play them but maybe feels that they’re not match ready.

He’d get crucified if he played then and they got injured again.

Fabio doesn't save this. I would love if Sasa were able to stay fit anymore, but he isn't.

I guess it will be Sarabia in the central attacking role, with RAN and Doc either side of him.

 

[Hsvwolf]

Just a little over reaction.

To be fair , he's not wrong......A club that has been in the prem as long as us should have players to come in when needed ....They may not be up to the quality of the 1st choice in their position , but be able to at least compete not just to fill a shirt. Even GON said that there probably isn't another club in the whole 92 in our position where a few injuries or suspensions (always likely to happen especiially at the business end) and we're down to throwing untried youngsters in and expecting them to compete in the premiere league .....Madness that so many experienced (and expensive) players that we could do with are out on loan ........

 

[Aimless Balls]

Come on Oatley, let’s finally have a good one.

 

[Spellbinder]

Started with Sarabia in the centre with Doyle and RAN either side apparently

 

[Aimless Balls]

Hahaha how did Tommy come away with that ball after the air-header!

 

[Aimless Balls]

Oh dear Dave actually made The Bale comp for RAN.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Other than the odious Jacqui Oatley commentating it's been a decent start

 

[Ches78]

Loving RANs crazy hair and beard combo

 

[stever]

Is this an anagram mate?

 

[Aimless Balls]

No time for grooming, too busy becoming world class.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Sure!

 

[silverwolf]

I have to say, first 8 minutes have been very good. Lack of presence up front as we know will be the killer. But we’ve played very well so far!

 

[Erick1011]

We look good in possession so far

 

[wolfslair]

I have to say, first 8 minutes have been very good. Lack of presence up front as we know will be the killer. But we’ve played very well so far!

But West Ham like to sit deep and let teams come at them and break on the counter.

We need to start creating chances, as West Ham will be feeling very comfortable about how the game has gone so far.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Nelson got stripped and megged, should be 0-1.

 

[silverwolf]

Semedo is having an absolutely cracking season.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Semedo tries to give them the lead

 

[Hsvwolf]

Sky commentary thread says 'Wolves playing with a false number 9 ' ......Forgot to mention the false 7, 10 & 11

 

[wolfslair]

Nelson got stripped and megged, should be 0-1.

That was crap by semedo….

He needs to sharpen up at the back! He was slack last game too……

He is bloody lucky there! Nearly directly to blame for two successive goals.

 

[silverwolf]

Absolutely, but we are moving the ball quickly, there appear to be forward options, and at the moment our first thought with every ball isn’t backwards.

West Ham will always be a danger on the counter!

 

[Aimless Balls]

Sarabia dove in the perfect spot for him to hit a FK, I like it.

 

[silverwolf]

Semedo is having an absolutely cracking season.

Hmm may have been a touch of the commentators curse with this comment!

Very true, it we haven’t threatened the keeper.

Possession is lovely, but there needs to be some result of it.

That is why they won’t be too worried, as even if we move forward, we don’t have a guy who can make the run/difference for that incisive pass to actually do them harm.

 

[luiandlui]

Really impressed with Santi Bueno every time I see him play, real top quality defender

He is a ready made replacement should
We shift kilman this summer to free up funds.

 

[thommo1984]

Someone wake Sarabia up ffs

I agree. The lack of presence up front is a real achilles heel.

But compared to the previous two matches, there appears to have been a little more zip in our play thus far. Doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll offer a threat as you say, however it has to improve our chances somewhat.

 

[Aimless Balls]

“Run? Me?”

He’s only useful if he gets to do what he wants.

Edit- ok he made the run, good work.
