Hopefully we can start getting used to it after a much needed three points, lucky ones at that too, for me. Cisse's silly act of petulance cost his team dearly, thankfully.
In came Sebastien Bassong. Though he was at fault for the goal, I was impressed with him. Strong, quick, composed and comfortable on the ball. Christophe Berra can count himself rather unlucky, but it was always going to be the one who Bassong came in for.
On his return, Jamie O'Hara was my man of the match. Got about the pitch well, moved the ball quickly and when we created something, he was at the heart of it. He's a huge player for us and we really have missed him, we need to keep him fit for the rest of the season.
Stephen Ward put in an improved performance, he's been below his high standards recently but he hasn't let it affect him. He dealt with Wright-Phillips pretty well and as usual gave us something extra going forward.
He's back |
A final word on Wayne Hennessey's save. If you haven't seen it, FIND IT. It is one of the best saves I've seen all season, he's been superb all season and though he's made a few mistakes lately, deserves all the praise he gets.

We desperately needed a win ahead of a huge game next week at home to West Brom. A win would take us two points behind them, and would really give us that winning feeling. I genuinely thought we were down and out on Tuesday, but this Wolves team have knack of hauling themselves back into it.
We were lucky.....but , we deserved some luck. Still , in my honest opinion.....we are a team without any attacking threat...no creativity...its sideaways , backwards and hoofing the ball up....and so many heart stopping mistakes at the back....too many.....we, Wolves supporters need a heart monitor while watching them !
ReplyDeleteGo and support the baggies you waste of a fan
DeleteWolves never makes things easy for us, do they?
ReplyDeleteIn periods we played well. For instance we had an attack on one touch that deserved a better destiny.
ReplyDeleteThe players lacked confidence and chose to play it safe. After a while they started to play direct. It was surely a step in the right direction.
