WOLVES-TIGERS Match Thread

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

Won't be able to follow the game tomorrow as I will be stuck on site. Fingers crossed for a good result and a lively match day thread.

COMB!!!!!

Curious to see how many changes will be made with a midweek match. Lots of changes for Yeovil last week, but it was also a cup match. Early in the season so legs are still pretty fresh so maybe we will only see 1-2 changes in the attack. Bet Cav gets a start

I'm looking forward to this one, it will be a tough test, but hopefully Wolves can get something from the game.

I passed the fans coaches going to Hull on my way back from Durham this afternoon. I couldn't put any additional mileage on the car I had otherwise I'd have tried to pay on gate at Hull this evening.

One up btw, an absolute screamer from Neves in the 6th minute.

one each! Now let's see how we deal with it!

Video of Neves' striker. Would love to see replays from other angles as well. Looks magnificent

Would have never guessed 9 points (6 on the road) against 3 teams projected to finish top 8. Amazing

Another victory, but i have to admit, Hull caused Wolves quite a few problems, especially when we were 2-1 up. I thought Wolves couldn't reach the heights or level of the standard set in the Middlesbrough and Derby games, but again, the first half was a joy to watch. Wolves moved the ball about so well, recycled it and got going again.

Just like at Derby, both Doherty and Douglas had some much space on their sides of the pitch it was untrue. Each and every player that played last night complimented each other, Saiss, playing with technically better players links up so well with Neves. What a way for Neves to open his Wolves account with his stunning goal, a class above.

Hull barely had a sniff in the half, but i could see where Wolves may come unstuck in game, corners are where we looked most vulnerable, the first corner just before the Hull goal caused no end of problems, Wolves were lucky not to concede, Douglas did well to clear. The second corner though again caused Wolves problems, Ruddy not helped with Campbell right in front of him and Wolves not able to clear, Dawson celebrated his goal like there was no tomorrow, can't blame him really after his side barely had a sniff on goal before that.

Hull were no match for Wolves in the first half, and to go in 2-1 up was no more than we deserved. Bright Enobakhare may only be a youngster, but for me he plays a big part in the way Wolves want to play, maybe at times he tries to overdo it when on the ball, but there was nothing wrong in the way he beat the defender and then crossed for Jota to make it 2-1.

I expected Hull to come out after the break and go for it, and then did, Wolves actually got deeper and deeper, Ruddy making decent saves and Hull also hitting the bar and post. Bonatini having a decent chance to increase the Wolves lead. Despite not scoring, he played his part. A third goal in this one was good to see, it helped ease the doubt that Hull would get back into the game. A great ball from Cavaleiro to put Dicko in on goal, he took his goal well, he could also have got at least another in his short spell on the pitch. It also gave Wolves some breathing space.

Any side that keeps Abel Hernandez quiet this season, like Wolves did, will have done well. It's just a shame that Wolves had to let in another goal, in stoppage time. The ref couldn't wait to award it, a minimal push. Another excellent win on the road, long may it continue.
