GEORGE LAKIN
The emotional outpouring/the old repertoire from the away end spoke volumes tonight. Our loyalest supporters left completely devoid of hope. Reduced to the memories.
If light truly does out of darkness come, we need it now, because we’re in the absolute dead of night.
Never has the need for change been greater. Utterly agonising times.
What. What just happened?
That’s it for me now, whether it’s over the phone, in person, a text… he needs to be immediately relieved of his managerial position.
I’m actually in shock and don’t know what to say, Cunha was extremely poor really lacklustre couldn’t beat a man. Craig Dawson with 2 own goals and playing terribly which I can’t help but feel for him but he was so poor.
Poor management, poor substitutions and the team are no longer playing for Gary I feel and that grin in the interview makes my blood boil. He’s brutally honest and reminiscing on old wins in the manner he did really makes me feel as though his time is over. Moyes, Potter, Conceição need to be looked at for appointments immediately.
The main talking point of course today is Gary but the players themselves haven’t been there for me this season, all prone to major mistakes like we saw the other week and the tactical set up I cannot question enough.
Gary O Neil’s tenure as Wolves manager needs to be over tonight.
Well, after Saturday, I didn’t think things could possibly get any worse. How wrong can you be?
I just don’t know what to say about the team. We were second best from start to finish. They scored from a corner after eight minutes, then had a second disallowed. They had two free kicks and scored from both, although the second went down as a Dawson own goal.
We were 3-0 down at half-time, and what substitution does he make? Hwang for Guedes. His first touch was sometime later when he lost the ball. We had a few runs into their half, and Larsen and Cunha kept trying, but there were no clear-cut chances.
They then went 4-0 up, again from a Dawson own goal. He has always been a rock at the back, but in his 300th game, he was dreadful. Doherty did hit the post, and that was about the sum total of our efforts. They had another goal disallowed.
We brought on Totii, Rodrigo Gomes, and Doyle, but it was all too little, too late. I can sort of accept losing to Bournemouth, except for the three penalties, but they are a good attacking team. Everton haven’t scored in the last four games, and they could have had six.
Absolutely awful performance. I feel so sorry for the fans who have to make the journey home after watching it. My man of the match was the ref for blowing the full-time whistle and putting us out of our misery. Performance rating for walking on and off the pitch: 1. GON has to be gone in the morning.
One of the poorest games I think I’ve ever seen for Wolves. Utterly devoid of any passion or fight and the players seem to have had enough of O’Neil just as much as the fans. Speaking of, those in attendance might be the only positive. It was good fun to see the crowd make the best of a bad situation on what would have otherwise been a wasted trip.
Worst game in a Wolves shirt for Dawson and somehow that might have been Matt Doherty’s best performance this season. The club is lacking leadership and direction desperately and if someone doesn’t step up soon it’s going to be too little too late. We defended set-pieces really poorly, which is surely something you prepare for against a Sean Dyche side. If this is us without the problematic set-piece coach I’d hate to have seen the scoreline with him. New lows for Gary and surely the writing is on the wall now.
This is a terrible night for us, where everything has gone wrong with plenty of mistakes, and we can’t even finish to score.
Set-piece play has now conceded more goals, but it’s a Wolves player, Dawson, who has scored in the wrong net. He has done this twice tonight.
This has been an embarrassment as a Wolves fan. We’ve seen a performance from a team that looks ragged and tired, with no ideas on how to score. We surely need a change of direction now. Gary isn’t fit for the purpose of taking our team to the next level. It has to be done now, or we won’t move forward.
