Great job by main rival Wolves hopefully progressing in the Europa League.
Finished 4-0 goals from Docherty, Jimenez and neves. Good lead to take into the home game next Thursday, be able to rest some first team players.Wolves a few thousand miles away from transfer window madness. Currently 3-0 up away to Pyunik.
Serie A is trash they'll batter 'em no worries.Torino will be a tough decider for you boys. 50/50 tie I think. They have some excellent attackers like Belotti and Falque but defence isn't so hot. Whoever gets an away goal will go through.
I agree probably the toughest we could have got out of the teams drawnTorino will be a tough decider for you boys. 50/50 tie I think. They have some excellent attackers like Belotti and Falque but defence isn't so hot. Whoever gets an away goal will go through.
Clearly indicates what a crap team Wolves are and OGS should be sacked as a result of only getting a draw against them away from home.Decent performance and result set up.nicely for the return leg
Yeah silly challenge at that stage by vinagre also disappointing to concede so quickly after our second goal! Still good result away from homeSaw the second half of that game, should have gone back with a two goal lead. Daft time to give away a pen.
It's a bit annoying but to win 3-2 at Torino is still a fantastic result.Saw the second half of that game, should have gone back with a two goal lead. Daft time to give away a pen.
It's good to see them have a go at the EL though. I can't understand for the life of me why the likes of Leicester rest players in the FA Cup or League Cup for example, it's their only chance at silverware and who cares whether they finish 8th or 10th...As much as torino were disappointing, wolves were fairly impressive. Particularly their mentality and organization
We'll see what impact EL will have on their season, but they really do look like a good outfit. Top 8 in the PL i would say
And they're even starting to make a player out of Adama Traoré
Up until yesterday I thought Traore was English.
Think it can only happen from Quarters onwards.It'll be just typical if we end up getting drawn against them in the Europa League
We've been playing Thursday/Sunday since the start of seasonThey’re a good side but having played 10 games already (6 in Europa, albeit 6 wins) is catching up with them in the League and we haven’t even got to the Thursday-Sunday schedule yet.
They’re fortunate to not find themselves bottom on zero points.
- Leicester should have beaten them
- Pogba let them off the hook
- A 95th minute penalty from a dive to save a point at home vs Burnley
- A loss today against a good Everton side
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens to them when the Europa group games start.
I thought you were good going forward yesterday but midfield and defensively you were a massive letdown.We've been playing Thursday/Sunday since the start of season
We played at Leicester 48hrs after a 6k mile round trip and if not for a disallowed goal would have won that
Burnley was 48 hours after a tough tie in Italy. It is affecting our league form no doubt. we'll have to get used to it. There's only a few points separating top from bottom at this stage.
I think Leicester should have had that game wrapped up in the first half which seems to be the case for each game I see Wolves play in the league. Burnley was on the Sunday wasn’t it?We've been playing Thursday/Sunday since the start of season

Neves was really poor and we found it very easy to exploit you. Although you had a couple of chances yourselves I didn’t feel the same strength that you had last season and you can tell that the extra minutes is hampering you.
I’m surprised you didn’t spray it out to Traore more often too. He’s not a great footballer but he will beat the fullback 9/10. Surprising.
You have more than enough to stay up but wouldn’t be surprised if you finish around 10th/11th this season.
It was. The 48 hour thing is a bit of a misnomer, it's more like 65. Still not easy mind, especially if your opponents had more rest than that.I think Leicester should have had that game wrapped up in the first half which seems to be the case for each game I see Wolves play in the league.

They have had a tough set of fixtures, agree with that, but as someone pointed out above they're already doing worse than the corresponding fixtures last season.To be fair it's been a reasonably tough set of fixtures for them to start the season with barring Burnley at home. Everton and Leicester away are going to be hard games for many a team and as much as we think we're shit, we're not the worst team out there.

True enough, I suppose they'll be hoping they can turn it around in equivalent fixtures against other teams. They famously had a poorish record against some of the lesser teams last season, including 2 defeats against Huddersfield. If they beat more of the teams they 'should' beat this time while not getting the same results against the better ones they might well end up in about the same place.They have had a tough set of fixtures, agree with that, but as someone pointed out above they're already doing worse than the corresponding fixtures last season.
