Rayvin 5918 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 One thing they said about Forest earlier mind, was that their approach is largely counter attacks - and just there seeing they've the lowest possession in the league. Could it be that their success is coming from teams underestimating them and attacking too aggressively? Kind of like our CL qualification season. If so, it's not sustainable long term IMO. They'll be found out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7620 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Putting it out there. Anderson would be our 4th choice CM if he was still here. He's better than Willock and Longstaff for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half as people got wiser to them they just ground out 1-0 wins like nobodies business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very good three points down there for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have a 9 point deduction in the post, and have burned another season with no chance of CL if we'd kept him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn't gone he'd still be the player we had, who couldn't get in the team. Its also half a seasons form in a team everyone expected to be at the opposite end of the table so lets not go mad just yet. He could just as easily be Danny Drinkwater mk2 as Ngolo Kante Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 7562 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Forest are having one of those seasons where everything just seems to be going right. Including luck. I was reading their forum earlier and one poster was banging the drum about Ryan Yates getting called up for England. Wykiki must have a long lost twin brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the worry - Wolves can have all the pressure they want but they have to make it count because on any given attack they could get torn open again if it goes wrong. Really difficult once Forest are ahead tbh. Might rewatch the highlights of our game against them tbh, curious how we dealt with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing tbh once they're struggling they've got to attack and the whole thing falls apart. Maybe they'd have more success at our place, perversely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 36524 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 '2-0 to Forest at half time here at Molineux, Wolves fluffed their chances but Forest haven't.

Rayvin 5918 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Wolves' passing is diabolical. It reminds me of how we used to be. In a sense, as frustrating as it is in this game, it's nice to remember how far we've come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11313 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 17 hours ago, Dr Gloom said: we'd have to win pretty much all of our remaining games to have a chance. even then, it would leave us on 89 points, which isn't always enough. so yeah, probably less than a 1% chance of it happening. this run has put us back in the mix for champions league though, as it will probably the top 5 that qualify this year. i'd say we have a top 4 first team but a midtable squad. if we can steer clear of injuries and add a player or two this month, we can get champions league football again. This was from 3rd of January. I can't imagine it's changed significantly. Title is all but certainly going to end up at Anfield. Analysts still think Forest will drop off, but they haven't a particularly bad run of fixtures ahead of them. Their worst run of games is coming up at the end of January through to early March. But even then, Bournemouth, Brighton and Fulham are all eminently beatable for a side that likes to play on the counter. This season is pretty similar to the 15/16 season. Two of the "big 6" having absolutely honking seasons and the other 4 having, by their standards, middling-to-poor point returns. A lot of stodge in the middle of the table. Some traditionally midtable sides having poor seasons. The surprise team that barely survived relegation in the previous season suddenly making a tilt to the top spot. And that team being reliant on a counter attack style that appears to be catching everyone off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 8 probably about par. Anything lower than that would be disappointing but would be mitigated by a cup win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
