God that Carney gets everywhere. She must have some agent.

If our greatest praise of Redmond is "he stood up in the box" do you really not see what the problem is?

If you did watch the half and couldn't see what he contributed, maybe find something else to do for the second half 

[davefizzy14]

Hopefully we can get a couple more in the second half

[Kingsland Codger]

Wolves are unlikely to be so poor again in the the second-half.

[Fan The Flames]

Got to be pleased with that half, another goal would have been the cherry.

Wolves come strong in the second half and we are shit at holding on to leads, so an early goal would be nice.

I watched closely and saw 14 examples of him wasting it in decent situations compared to one good pass (followed by one terrible shot) and one good block off the ball which literally any player with physical mass could have done.

Yes this. Some people just need to get a grip. Redmond has played well again and was unlucky not to score 1st half. Hoping he can get one in the second half

[Lord Duckhunter]

I blame Stephens for Remond 

[nta786]

I’m gonna change the topic here and say how great is Armstrong.

He’s on 11 PL goals for us, for perspective, Steven Davis managed 12 goals for us too and he played almost 120 games more than Stu

Shame we have no Diallo on the bench.  Romeu needs to be careful...

Unbelievable that one of England’s greatest ever strikers, who has been on TV for years, gets to analyse one of his former teams. Baffling.

And Micah Richards. Absolutely everywhere, and a shocking pundit. Carney is decent to be fair. 

[macca155]

Good half, remember it is a team game.  I get Redmond annoys people, I'm shouting at the TV as well, however he is pulling their defence all over the place. 

Personally I think Romeu is struggling a little. That is more of an issue than Redmond fluffing a few shots. Possibly an early sub required.

Been Wolves’ MotM so far. That yolk is very Wolves yellow. You on the right forum?

Armstrong is great. His running with the ball is under estimated, he has quite a surprising acceleration when he puffs his chest out and gets going. He's excellent.

Absolutely superb example of what an attacking midfielder should be doing for us

Good half that, although a bit worried that we tend to flag in second halfs whilst Wolves usually get stronger as the game goes on. JWP and Romeu utterly magnificant and also it's been great to see Armstrong back in form. He did dip around the time he got COVID. No idea whether that is coincidence or had an impact, but he is definitely back now. Redmond is well...Redmond. He does 1 thing in 5 right. Some will focus on that 1, and others will focus on the 4. I posted this in the Newcastle game but gonna share it again. Here are some stats as of last week. 

Redmond- 11,515 EPL minutes for us- 19 goals, 12 assists

Armstrong-4,627 EPL minutes for us-11 goals, 7 assists

Shane Long- 9,339 EPL minutes for us - 27 goals, 20 assists

Tadic- 9, 617 EPL minutes- 21 goals, 30 assists

Djenepo - 1, 735' EPL minutes-3 goals, 2 assists

Che Adams - 2, 827' - EPL minutes - 8 goals, 7 assists.

Boufal - 3, 072'  EPL minutes - 3 goals 2 assists

 

No player has been given as many chances over the last five years as Redmond which such a mediocre return. His game hasn't developed. He still plays like an enthusiastic nipper on his debut. 

Expand  

That Shane Long has got great stats, we should get him on the pitch.

Yes because he's the only person who could do that.

I'm not bothered but it's strange that you mention Carny but not the omnipresent Shearer.

[Mr X]

Wolves already seen more of the ball than in the entire first half 😜

[Ohio Saint]

Did wolves sub their entire team at half time?

[John Boy Saint]

Armstrong’s been hogging the hairdryer at half time 😀

[Foxy]

Nuno wearing what looks like a bullet proof vest. Incongruous stuff

[igsey]

WTF was Bertrand thinking?

[trousers]

Bugger. Penalty

Wolves penalty!

Ffs

I feel like last few weeks that hasn’t been given yet that is?’

Edited 14 February, 2021 by nta786

[OttawaSaint]

That’s why Redmond has a shaved head. So that the hairdryer tactic doesn’t work on him.

[OttawaSaint]

So if this is a pen after cash saved it the other week then the game’s gone.

[egg]

That should never be a penalty.

Oh fuck off. If that's a penalty but the Villa one wasn't then the game is fucked. 

Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

When you think we didn’t get the pen against Villa, that’s incredible.

Never a penalty, what a joke.

Yeah you're right, with the replay that's a totally natural movement trying to block. Crazy that's given compared to some of the ones we've been denied this season.

[OttawaSaint]

He’s turning away, keeping his arm in. Penalty.

Cash saves a goal bound effort, no penalty. 

 

[Baird of the land]

Saints haven't come out of the dressing room yet

[Archers Road Stand]

Its a penalty but less of one than the ones VAR said no to vs Fulham and Villa. 

[Wrensup]

Why the fuuck was we letting them knock it about so easily before the penalty.

This. One player trying to stop the ball with his hand, the other trying to get out of the way. Bonkers.
