Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[SG90]

Be honest you would have moaned that 2 minutes is pointless.

No I wouldn't. We say we ease him in slowly, but then when there's an opportunity we don't take it. He won't come on if it's 0-0 or 1-0, so why not take a chance while we can?

[WhiteRose]

Fantastic result, one we very much needed with 2 tough home games coming up - looked bad for Bogle though, hope he was just been cautious not putting weight on it.

[andrewjohnsmith]

I think Longstaff is a poor man's Stach and we don't need both on the pitch at the same time.

Against the bigger teams I think we do

Yet to be convinced that Tanaka has the physique to do it against the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal. But I'm waiting to be proved wrong.

What a stunning victory.

Absolutely a few on this forum trying to think of something to still have a pop at Farke.

3-1 win away. 7 points from 5 games. A great return. Considering three have been away from home.

[SG90]

Only need 4 points now to equal Direby

[andrewjohnsmith]

Wilder loses at home

Oooh good. They were drawing last I checked. See the Wendies won one though.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Aronson is a better player than he's given credit for. Wins us many free kicks and his running, back tracking and defensive work is second to none in this team...

[andrewjohnsmith]

Why are you concentrating on highlighting their goal. We won 3-1 ffs away from home.

Tremendous result - nothing but positives from that unless you want to nick pick.

Casual observers may look at the stats and think Wolves were the better team

Despite the numbers, we were much better than them

[Sean_Nile]

A must win game that we’ve won. Mustn’t grumble.

Turned out nice again.

[andrewjohnsmith]

So give Gray a mini run out instead

I'd love to see Harry getting involved

Thing is Harry is getting plenty of minutes in the 21's and is fully fit

Farke has to get minutes for his senior players somehow. Can't just expect Justin, Tanaka, Nmecha, and Gruev to sit on the bench for 3 weeks then come in and do a job when needed

[andrewjohnsmith]

Great performance that.

Really was....

I hope Calvert lewin can stay fit and get sharper, he would be the difference.

Okafor while I'm not convinced he was the right signing is very much a player who could come good in a big way, injuries again have stopped that from happening before. Could be key.

Good balance, looked a bit more open defensively but a lot better going forwards..... More direct....

Added goals confidence to new players is up (all great finishes)..... Can only be a good thing knowing we can score in open play.

A few faults in Okafor first half. But showed plenty of quality. Definitely an improvement for us.

[SG90]

Petition needed for us to only play in white this season

[Cjay]

Apart from their goal their chances haven't been too clear cut. Lots of high balls into the box. But positionally Strujik, Rodon, and Ampadu have been strong and made every chance difficult

They probably had more than we had tbf

Darlow was the busier keeper and made atleast 2 decent saves from good chances (a header and I forget the other).

But our defence did a lot of bodies on the line stuff to stub out other potential good chances which is there job as Roy Keane would say

[malcolmw]

Wasn't able to watch live. Have it recorded. Great win!!

I do believe I got the score and the first scorer correct. Well that's a bonus for an excellent day at the office.

I'm looking forward to watching it later.

[Cjay]

Okafor better 2nd half imo weirdly.

Less involved but when he was he was better with it.

Took his goal well.

Credit to DCL, that's the first time he's looked like he might be what we need with his all round game and he took that header well because at best it was a half chance.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Fantastic result, one we very much needed with 2 tough home games coming up - looked bad for Bogle though, hope he was just been cautious not putting weight on it.

He walked onto the pitch after the game with no crutches or assistance. So would assume it's just bruising.

[1964white]

2 points off the top 4

9th

I said 8 points from 6. And thought I was being optimistic. Very good chance it could be 10.

[YorkshireSquare]

Had to pop out second half, listened on the radio.

Exactly the game we needed. Responded well to going one nil down, great period proved we can score then a very solid second half to see things out.

[Chilli D]

Only saw from 57 minutes onwards but we looked pretty comfortable.
Wolves were just lumping into the box and hoping for the best.
Great result and up to 9th place!!
