Wolves v West Ham United comms thread.

[CelebrityWolf]

I just keep watching RAN with a tear in my eye - hope we can at least keep him for one more season. Sublime this guy.

Yeah, but should he be starting games over Hugo Bueno?

 

[VancouverWolf]

Good half . No suprise that we do better with ait nouri high up the pitch.

Doyle doing much better wide left than Lemina did.

What a soft yellow for Gomes. Crazy some of these decisions

Yeah…..Doyle on left is not bad

 

[clivewolves]

Keep it up lads. More of the same. You'd expect West Ham to have a rocket up 'em and improve but we're doing great.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Great first half deserve to be in front maybe by more
WHam very poor so far though,surely cant be as bad again second half
Wish we could get more players forward when we do break,have to keep cutting back as no one in the box
Gomes has to be very careful now after a stupid yellow,but we all know hes got that in his game

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

One of the best penalties you're likely to see

 

[AndyY]

I keep reading 'baller' as ballet and sometimes it looks like that. Impressive!

Comms suggested he should do “Strictly”!

 

[Poztin]

Handball! Come on ref!

Never a pen

 

[brianm]

Minus the Semedo blip, Wolves have been very good against the West Ham press. Managed to run them around a bit.

Moyes doesn't want to play any higher. By the time he does, Wolves can responsibly throw Cunha on.

 

[wolfslair]

Never a pen

He did everything bang on, arms close to the body and hands behind his back

 

[Bryce]

Lovely dominant half of football. Coyw

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

This is our 3 point gift as we gifted them at their place. The kind exchange between Gaz and MOYESY

 

[VancouverWolf]

One of the best penalties you're likely to see

I prefer when they don’t hit the post……fine margins….might have bounced out

Not counting any chickens. I give you Jared Bowen and that bloke is lethal against us

 

[Contrarian]

He is a Rolls Royce. Said for a few years he will have been the best player through the club and now zero doubt in my mind that is the case. Jota the benchmark so fsr, going to a big club and being a success. RAN is next

I think GON may take some credit as RAN arrived with tons of potential, yet didn't seem to improve much under the previous 3 managers. Had moments of brilliance, but also plenty of howlers and nondescript matches. It may be just coincidence, but it's since GON has arrived that his confidence has soared, he's become infinitely more effective and has also cut the mistakes out.

Maybe it's that he's a flair player and we'd always been a tightly disciplined, cautious team. Under previous managers, he wasn't given anywhere near the freedom he's now given.

 

[Slothmonkey]

West Ham cannot be as bad 2nd half. We just need to maintain concentration and hopefully get a 2nd. Big half coming

 

[bod101]

Good first half, best for a while. I'd be tempted to switch Doherty and ait nouri round for the second half, Doherty can make good timed runs, ran could provide more. Plus tactically it might surprise West ham

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Agree Bowen is the only threat plus they have a good bench to call on

 

[Barnet Wolves]

GON is a versatile thinker and tinkerer. I love how he comes up with different formations and short term tactics to get by each team we come up against. He'll never forget his first season with us.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Joking of course. I hope whu continue to play like they’ve been on the shorts all day and night. It mek Kilman look fast.

We have a decent bench to be fair Cunha and Dawson for the last half hour. They have to come at us and it may work to our advantage. Keep the same shape tackle them hard. We should be A OK

 

[thommo1984]

314 passes, 92% accuracy

Helps that Wham have been awful but good stuff lads.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Good idea as we can be sure that they will try to shut RAN down somewhat

 

[lobodelsur]

Gotta say this is going better than I expected. Big question - can GON react if Moyes changes it around ?

 

[Bryce]

RAN again is giving me Bale vibes. That is a compliment. He is what I wanted MGW to be for us

 

[Willywolf]

Wait till we see Ings warming up…

 

[Spellbinder]

Second Half underway
West Ham subs Johnson and Antonio for Coufal and Soucek

 

[Erick1011]

West Ham bring on Antonio and Ben Johnson.
Coufal and Soucek off for the Hammers

 

[wolfslair]

Agree Bowen is the only threat plus they have a good bench to call on

Kudos in open broken space is a massive threat

 

[Super NES]

RAN is playing a blinder so far, carrying us up the pitch with ease. He really is going to an absolute superstar!!

We've retained possession so well in the 1st half - hopefully we can keep it up!!

 

[Aimless Balls]

Think Moyes did some yelling.

 

[Spellbinder]

Delay for Bowen to receive treatment

 

[brianm]

I didn't even see how Bowen got caught. Strange one.

 

[Jeru360]

I don’t know - looked like if it didn’t hit the post it gets saved.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Great for us. Things were getting uncomfortable.

 

[brianm]

I don’t know - looked like if it didn’t hit the post it gets saved.

It was a great dive from the keeper honestly.

 

[Spellbinder]

West Ham sub Cresswell on for Bowen

 

[Spellbinder]

Wolves sub - Cunha on for RAN

 

[silverwolf]

We need to rediscover our first half impetus. West Ham have definitely stepped up

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

RAN off injured so Cunha on

 

[Aimless Balls]

Please be ok Rayan.

 

[brianm]

Shame RAN had to come off...that was quick.
