Wolves v Sheffield United Matchday Thread

[Newcy Wolf]

Brilliant.

No other word.

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

Superb from Jota. At the moment we seem to just be playing cat and mouse with them. Let them have the ball for lenghty period and then do them on the break,

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

C.mon Cav, should have been three!

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

We seem to have lost the Mojo somehow this half. Come on boys get your fingers out!

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

Game over! Three more points racked up.

[Newcy Wolf]

Just look at the bench.

Wonderful team spirit, everyone's in this together and in Nuno we have a f*****g gem.

Opposing fans will be disappointed to see that our form has not seen a dramatic dip, despite their hopes otherwise

" We'll be sh.t in the winter, we'll be sh.t in the winter" that's how the song went. Well most opposition fans were using that statement as comfort as we took teams apart in October/November.

Well winter is well under way and we are still top of the League. Another three points safely put away after a comfortable victory today.
In fairness to Sheffield, they came to play football, not park the bus and play for a draw. Apart from the assault on Jota by their keeper, they played a fair game without trying to cripple half the team.

They looked stunned after Nevis hit the targett with a terrific long range shot and were powerless to stop Jota getting on the end of a splendid team goal. I counted Ruddy having to make one save in the first half on his way to I think his seven****th claen sheet. After Jota was felled outside the area by their keeper, the first thing their substitute had to do was pick the ball out of the onion bag.

It was a comfortable victory in the end,and Afobi made a cameo appearance to rapt applause. Both him a Leo were close to adding to the score as the game petered out.

It is hard to believe that Reubin Nevis is only twenty, his vision is wonderfull and he has a range of passing as good as anyone in the Premiership. In addition to those features his workrate is second to none, often chasing back to make a tackle. We must keep this player no matter who comes calling.

The football again on show last night was breathtaking at times. Three goals, and the first two i could watch over and over. Sheffield United to their credit didn't come to Molineux and sit back, they actually tried to play football. But the first half was as good as anything i have seen this season, solid at the back and then so good going forward. Wolves moved the ball so quickly from front to back it was untrue.

This Wolves side will always create chances and one thing i would like to mention is Helder Costa's contribution, he's slowly getting back to what we saw many times last season, a player that the opposition can't get near.

The Sheffield keeper gave the ref no choice with his his challenge on Jota, a red all day long, the icing put on the cake with Cavalerio's deflected effort.

The score could really have been more and Afobe didn't do himself any harm when he came on he had a couple of chances that will give him confidence. Even Morgan Gibbs-White fits well into this side after coming on, a big future ahead for the youngster for someone so young.
