This was a spicy old contest last season.
Had VAR been operational, the eventual 1-1 scoreline would probably have been very different.
For starters, both of the penalties Bournemouth were awarded would have been overturned. The first was a dive with zero contact and the second was given despite the foul being clearly outside the area.
OK, they missed the second of those spot-kicks anyway but the opening goal is always so important and shaped the pattern of the game.
Outside of those contentious moments, a draw was the fair result with the Cherries posing a significant threat in the latter stages and Wolves controlling the early exchanges prior to that iffy penalty award.
With one goal separating the sides in the table, this is another one that could easily be decided by a moment of brilliance, calamity or injustice.
Bournemouth
I always think of Bournemouth as being an attacking outfit, but they’ve actually built a decent season around defensive stability.
They’ve scored a relatively modest 15 goals (one fewer than Wolves) but only conceded 15 (the same as Wolves), which is better than everyone lower down and a few of the teams above.
It’s still the usual suspects in attack with Callum Wilson (5) and Josh King (3) doing their damage, but Liverpool loanee and deadball specialist Harry Wilson has also netted four times.
King is likely ruled out with a hamstring injury picked up on international duty though, which could well prove a decisive blow for a team who haven’t been as fluent in attack as previous years.
They went down 2-1 to Newcastle prior to the international break despite taking the lead at St. James’ Park and Eddie Howe didn’t hide his disappointment.
“They punished our sloppy mistakes. In the end we created chances, but did not put them away. We had the initiative of the game, but gave it away, I felt we should have kept the ball better and we need to learn from it. We are looking for consistency; backing up a great win with another one, and today we missed an opportunity. This result will really hurt for the next two weeks.”
The home end
Some comments lifted from the pre-match thread on a popular Bournemouth forum.
Could be a similar game to Newcastle. They play 3 centre backs in a deep system with lots of pace on the counter. They have a lot more quality too. That shouldn’t be too worrying. We were a better team than Newcastle but we lost concentration and threw the game away with sloppy passing, poor finishing and more typical AFCB style defending. If we can put a full 90 mins performance in we can win this.
Wolves slowly and quietly moving up the table after a poor start. We’re stop start at the moment. Tricky match to call.
Ramsdale
Smith Ake cook Rico
(midfield 5 of )H Wilson , Lerma, cook, billing, Danjuma
C Wilson
Look like it has been confirmed that we will be without Lerma and King against Wolves as Lerma played against Ecuador Wednesday night and will have to travel back and so will be over tired (like last time). King is confirmed as injured. Without these two this will mean another loss on Saturday followed by a likely humiliation away at Spurs who will be out to impress Mourinho. God help us!
Wolves
Fingers crossed Traore has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the Spain squad and assuming fitness and availability of all key personnel the team should pick itself.
The lads played with great intensity and desire from the off against Villa so hopefully that can become a more regular thing as we’ve too often been slow out the blocks.
Quality is not in short supply and if fatigue doesn’t hamper those who’ve been jetting off to represent their country, we should have a great chance of getting a result.
Front of the queue should changes be necessary would be Vinagre, Neto (a possible injury doubt), Bennett or Cutrone.

That’s where you’ll also find my best guess for this one.
Up The Wolves!
I’m on a hat-trick boys and girls after 6 points from 6 with my last two predictions, so here’s the hot tip.
Wolves to win…just.
Jota to finally find that end product that’s always so tantalisingly within his grasp.
Jimenez also on the scoresheet of course.
A Wilson (don’t know which one) reply to make things nervy but the lads cling on for victory.
Going for a tight win but wouldn’t be surprised with another draw, surely one team soon though is going to be on the wrong end of us.
2-1 Jota, Dendoncker
One notable omission from your list of bloggers who gained maximum points in predicting a 2-1 win over Villa Thomas.
No wonder I’m languishing near the bottom of the prediction league.
Don’t know what you’re talking about mate, you’re clearly credited 😉
Well! Stap me vitals!
Fancy me missing that!
You’re a VERY naughty boy.
Serves you right for hiding in that Pizza Hut
Wolves win 2.1
Im going 2-0 they were not that impressive against Newcastle and that was with taking the lead hope Wolves start the way they did against Villa.
Have to say we are on fire at the moment….play like we did against the Ville and I can see us causing the Cherries defence all sorts of problems….early goal please Mr Nuno….and if you do decide to play Pedro a word of advice for the lad …’look up the next time you are through on goal…your team mate Cutrone is there to help you’
Pundits have us down to win this one and I agree………….COYW
Really hard to call this one but I’m going for us by the odd goal – 1-1 wouldn’t surprise me though!
Bournemouth will have their moments but if we start like we did v Villa, I fancy us to get all three.
It seems to me that we’ve got to grips with Thursday-Sunday and the football is startling to resemble the early swashbuckling style under Nuno. We’re starting to dominate possession again and pick teams apart with our probing passing/movement – we look all the better for this approach.
UTW!
Our momentum will continue against them
I’m going to be sneaky and post my prediction when I see the team sheets. Don’t give me a yellow card! My reasoning for this fixture is that Traore has been so menacing, and my MOTM the last few times I’ve seen a whole game.
I will give you a sneak preview anyway. Wolves to win 2-1 if Traore is injured or just plays for a short time. Wolves to win 3-1 if Traore starts or plays for a significant time.
VAR is here to sort out teams like Cheatingmouth and their bigger brethren. They’ve been stitching us up regularly since mutual games in the Championship. I well remember good old Steve Morgan looking like he could kill the referee after a match at their pathetic rabbit-hutch of a ground. And Eddie Howe doing his innocent choir boy act. Time to grovel Eddie, howe does that sound punk?
Agree entirely with all of the comments in your last paragraph Dances. Also agree with Thomas’s comment about how VAR would have denied them both penalties last season.
Like you I’m gonna wait for the team news before making my prediction.
COMBs!
If we play like did against Veela this is ours for the taking
That’s stating the bleeding obvious.
We haven’t won at Bournemouth since January 1948 – when Clive was just a teenager – and have never won there in the league. Admittedly we’ve only played them a handful of times and interestingly three of the last four meetings at their place have ended 1-1. In fact in 6 visits there we have never failed to score.
I fancy us not to lose.
Don’t like Bournemouth being in the PL with their silly little non-league stadium – and as we all know they only got promoted to the big league by breaching financial fair play rules and by their penchant for diving in the penalty area.
OODCL
Which Clive was that?
The old one.
I like your stats bedders …. had no idea Clive was a teenager ever
Can’t get a pint here
I’m drinking fucking tea
On this day in 1986 this pair made their Wolves debuts in an otherwise depressing 0-3 home defeat to Wrexham in front of 5,252 hardy souls.
How times have changed.
OODCL
So that’s 5,251 plus me.
If we’re at full strength I think we’ll slaughter them by blitzing their goalmouth with balls into the box and shots from all over. Unfortunately we’re not turning any of that into goals so it’s a sneaky 1 – 0 from me and it may well come from the penalty spot.
I was there that day too, travelled on the train to Wolverhampton which was no mean fete for a 3 year old.
Ian I think you mistyped and missed out a 4 before the 3.
OODCL
Time to put Cheatmouth where they belong. Back on the shit heap with the rest of the divers in the prem.
I have to get a prediction correct at some time this season
Should be a good match to watch.
The good news is Lawro has predicted a narrow win for the cheats so pretty much a given Wolves will gain a comfortable win. Especially as VAR will for once be working for us detecting their nefarious activities. Sad Eddie again!
2-0 to The Wolves.
Gutted that I forgot to log in to register my 2-1 prediction for the last match. It looked nailed on, darn it.
This week is a bit more difficult to call. They have goals in them and they always seem to frustrate us and get something out of our meetings somehow.
However, we are definitely on a high at the moment, whereas they are on a slide. So long as Traore is fit and firing I think we should get the win. But I need to play catch up on the prediction points so I’m going to gamble on a draw.
… go on give me the points for the last match. I was going to put 2-1 … honest.
Yeh, we all believe you.
Once again a difficult game to judge the outcome; on their day they are as good as anyone, but they have been up and down this season. If Traore is fit, I think we might edge it, so I’ll go for a three two win. Watching the under 23s this season, I am impressed by a number of youngsters and wish I lived nearer in order to follow them closer. I would urge you, if possible to go along and support them asthe level of play is good and entertaining. If not you can follow the games free on Wolves TV as some of you will know already.
Agreed Deb’. The game against PSG was very entertaining.
It will take a game or two to get back into our groove and with loads of games to play before the end of December, we will probably lose a couple
This won’t be one of the losses though, a bit scrappy but a Saiss header or a Dougherty deflection will do it
Thank dog the international break is over
Utw
Like last season, a penalty will decide it. Jimenez to step up and slot it home.
Well Jota has to get is goal sometime, perhaps he will get two. Traoré for the third
Unbeaten in 7, no reason for that not to be 8 by tomorrow evening.
We’re playing pretty confident at the moment, regardless of who is on the park and our back 3 are doing better than most of us worried about when big Willy was injured.
Goals scored and conceded pretty even for both teams so a boring 0 – 0 draw on the cards?
I don’t think so.
I was going for a draw, but with them missing a couple of essential players, we should edge it. 1-0 for me.
Same feeling, particularly if traore’s out.
Wolves to win but sure it will be tight contest.
We’ve obviously got the attacking quality to win this but with Saiss at the back I fear that we may give away too many free kicks in dangerous positions, so:
Let’s be honest about VAR had it been in operation last season in the Bournemouth away fixture…
– they’dve given Bournemouth both penalties because (pathetically) they wouldn’t have concluded that either call was a sufficiently ‘clear and obvious’ mistake…
– deep down, you know its true
– VAR is just as prone to crappy human error as non-VAR and worse, it lacks common sense when calling marginal offsides.
VAR… what is it good for?!
Expect Bmouth to be solid, and they’re effective at the little things that add up to a lot (kicks, cynical fouls, shirt-pulls and time-wasting). That could wind us up a lot and I wouldn’t like to say we’d get 3 points if we go behind in the first half again.
SO a big performance is needed! Let’s suffocate them.
In my forty odd years on this earth, I have come across only one person whom I wanted to punch in the face the moment I set eyes on him.
Eddy How is the second.
That smarmy, butter wouldn’t melt, superior, smug expression just cries out to be smacked, hard, over and over.
His mantra is to cheat.
They play hoof ball, which is as boring to watch as it is brainless.
The sooner this type of team is relegated to the backwaters of civilization the better.
Oh, forgot. They are already in the backwaters with their shed of a ground.
This is the game we bust open the floodgates and paste the snot out of someone.
Jota gonna score a brace, coz he will be so steamed up about that other cheat Ronaldo stealing his goal.
And three others will score.
We’ll even give them an own goal.
5-1 to me babbies.
I’m with you 100%, mate, every word except your forecast. They ain’t gonna score.
Jota should have been on the score sheet on his international debut, he’ll know this as well and so he’ll be odds on to get at least one goal.
Time for their comeuppance. Time for them to suffer for a series of wrongdoings. Evil team.
Putting score in correct box usually helps!
Boringmouth are a side full of the tricks and trips and pulls and pushes of proffessional gamesmanship.
Pretty much like everyone else to be fair.
Where they have excelled in the past has been the penalty area.
Well if shitty var does its job properly that should even things out and football should win this one.
We are better at football than they are and they are better at diving in the penalty area than we are.
Tomorrow football wins so we win.
will we be loving VAR for a change ????
Off tomorrow at 8:30 for the trip down to Boring mouth, stopping en-route to rest and stretch the legs.
Expecting the usual blue rinse and red trouser brigade to be out in force around their shithole of a ground.
Remember last year walking along the seafront after the game and some numpty taking the piss, but he almost got killed by some little scrotes throwing rocks from the cliff tops down onto the road.
Never liked Boring mouth, still don’t, pathetic fans, whinging manager and terrible, terrible ground only fit for the Chumpionship.
Enough of that, on to the game…
Boringmouth 0
Wolves 3
All records must come to an end. Jota, Neves and Jimmy to end their’s tomorrow.
COM Bambinos.
Their ground is 4th division at best not Championship.
You’ve got to hand it to them, however, because they must have been doing a fair number of things right to be in the top division when so many so called bigger clubs regularly fail. Think Derby, Forest, Leeds, Sunderland, etc, etc. The list goes on and on so they deserve some credit despite their smarmy manager.
Safe trip down tomorrow Mr, Mrs Stu totally agree with your comments on Bournemouth, most of there fans are full of piss and wind.
And some of them local to me are not looking forward to the Mighty Wolves visit.
The great majority here expect a win and I’d like that too..especially if it triggers their long term decline and their eventual consecutive relegations back to League One…taking Brighton Southampton and Palace with them
Ethnic cleansing is not popular I know but those Southern teams really need to be back down in their rightful league
Meantime we’re specialists in 1-1 and Howe will have had a couple of weeks to plan a smash and grab result
So that’s my forecast
Like Wokywolf I too missed logging in for the easiest prediction of the season
Will be up at 8am with poached eggs on toast and early beer
COYW
Doesn’t the toast get soggy in the beer?
Houston Wolves………..
Get yer arses down to Nicks Place!!
I have to respect your opinion, however, there’s a lot of us that live down South, and who can’t get to the Golden Palace too often. At least we sometimes get a chance to see our beloved team play on the odd ocassion.
Football is Lahndan, Midlands and the North
Only way to escape going down the pits for some .. or a mind numbing factory job
In the 50’s the typical work week was 5 and a half days so when my Dad clocked off at 1230 Saturday lunchtime he would head off to the Molineux and eventually he’d get home Saturday night at six
I know the weather and countryside is nicer down south but the core appeal of English football is industrial England and Lahndan
Sorry for my prejudice.. it’s just that I have long memories of 5 pm Saturday when the football results were read out on the wireless and half the nation checked their pools coupons… that’s when Palace Bournemouth etc were in 3 rd or 4 th divisions
Just pining for old order to be restored
I know it’s a bit sad
and unfair to the South
Sorry
Apology and reasoning accepted.
Not you aswell Marin!
I’ve an idea. Why don’t we all save our predictions until after the final whistle?
Going for a narrow win after the international break.
Go Wolves!
My usual prediction is either a 1-1 draw or a 2-1 Wolves win. The last two games I had the wrong way round which cost me 6 points in our prediction league, I would have been top and not 6th…gggrrr. The prediction league is really good idea and I enjoy the suspense of seeing what position I am in when the table is posted. COYW
What is it with this week’s predictions? So many are going on about if only this, if only that etc etc.
If I joined the league, I reckon I’d be top. If only!!
Hind Sight, did it again this week,…….if only.
Bournemouth 1
Wolves 4
Wolves look like giving someone a slapping and I hope it’s these bunch of diving cheats. C.O.U.W.
Someone’s going to get a spanking sooner or later.
But onto the match, I don’t like the PE teacher done good that’s runs this tichy chip tray of a club. He such a smug fecker I can see him inheriting the wescutted ones job after the Euros. Then they will sink back down to the 3rd tier where they belong, and that’s being
generous.
Without King their hand is weakened and as long as we have our terrific trio up top we will run out comfortable winners. I even fancy Cutrone to come on and rub salt and possibly vinagre into their wounds.
Seems they are missing some significant players, so I’ll go for us to sneak this.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see this being either a 1-1 draw or a clear win for the boys, there are good reasons why both of them might result. I’m going with my heart for a day when things click and we win well … say 3-0.
I have a long memory and believe we still owe them one for breaking the South Bank goal post all those years ago …. it could be tomorrow!!!!
COYW
With 3-0 in mind I thought bloggers might enjoy the attached blast from 1960.
Hey, JazzWolf54, that 1960 team might have been the same one that lost the infamous home game to Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic (as they used to call themselves) 0-1 in the FA Cup in 957!
Nowadays VAR would have sent the post off for dangerous play.
Good photo though. I’ve downloaded it.
Pity that futuristic Molineux never got built.
I was there that day Netherton…
Just behind the goal… bastard cherries caused the upset of the round…. never forgotten.
You have a legend in the locality mate…. Sir Cheeseburger of Death ….
Lady Twix has connections with your neck of the woods mate … nice one
Likewise your Lordship, I was in our usual spot – about 30 steps up the South Bank from the bottom and in line with the 6 yard line on the Waterloo Road side of the goal. The picture is the centre spread of the booklet “The Wembley Wolves” produced before the final – a final I watched from the Blackburn end I might add. In those largely pre-hooligan days we had a lot of (mostly) good-natured banter with them.
Incidentally – at that time I had family in Wanderers Avenue, I was always a little bit envious of their address 😉
I was there as well in just about the same position as you but the other side of the goal. One of those odd happenings that the Cup seems to be remembered for.
If we could reproduce the form we showed against Vile they would get a thumping but as it is the first game after the international break we tend to be rather subdued so a tight 2-1 win for me
I like your stats bedders …. had no idea Clive was a teenager ever
Can’t get a pint here
I’m drinking fucking tea
I detest this club its fans and manager more than the Boggies…….Be nice to wallop them and see the chit eating grin disappear from rosy cheeks…..actually managed a visit to the Mol whilst in the UK earlier this month for the Bratislava match….incredible to see the full and electric atmosphere that has been created by the management, set of players and fans that our beloved club is currently going through…..onwards and upwards. Can’t wait for the stadium to be increased to full capacity as getting tickets for us international travellers can be quite difficult…..enjoy the game you guys going down there, a few hundred never mind a few thousand will easily outsing the White Cliffs Of Dover brigade. As for future tickets I am hoping to get to the UK in Mar for the Brighton game….I have no membership or points etc anyone got any ideas of the best way to try and get two tickets for that game? Do you still have people selling them outside the ground like in the days of old?
Another tricky fixture, I am not sure the international break is good for us, always take time to get going, if we can go in at half time scoreless I fancy a 2-0 win
The Black Country’s answer to Captain Beefheart.
A naughty little band.
A bit late with my prediction after having been sat for a few hours with my 94 year old mother and a paramedic waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
She’s only gone and fallen AGAIN.
Fractured wrist this time by the looks of it.
I think she must have a Time Share at The Royal United Hospital in Bath.
Wolves to beat Bournemouth by two goals.
Hope all goes well with Mother Doog.
xx to you and Sue
Cheers mate. How’s it going with your mum?
Thanks for asking good days and bad 92 the other week, still enjoys reading the programme and gives her a lift in how well we are doing.
Take care.
Hope your mam is on the mend soon Doog
Thanks mate. She’s a tough old thing but, a bit like Raheem Sterling, she goes down much to easily.
These lot like diving around and falling like a forest of oak trees when someone sneezes half a mile away from them. Like Duncan Goodhew diving in to the pool on the 100 metres breaststroke, the waves they make will not deter mighty WWFC. Expect some more farcical VAR decisions. A bit like Basil Fawlty thrasing his car . In fact you will get more sense from next door neighbours cat on steroids than VAR. But expect it all the same tomorrow. It owes us a decision or two. I have a feeling we are just getting in to gear now. Expect a 3-1 win tomorrow and a farcical VAR penalty in our favour amongst the goals. And welcome back Jose to the Prem. But there is only one special one now .Arise Lord Nuno of Whitmore Reans.
3 points please lads!
And yes I hate Bournemouth – no idea, just do!
COYW
Never a true word as they say….
Dover for the Continent ….
Bournemouth for the Incontinent….
I well remember last years encounter watching Ryan Fraser dive over his own boot laces to get a penalty… cheating little shit… and the look on the Bournemouth fans faces when Raul rolled in the equaliser…. shame…..
Don’t see any worries about tomorrow other than will we be judged by a dubious referees decision.(Simon Hooper I believe).
Can’t get a ticket for tomorrow BUT Braga, ( the Stuwolf s and Lowves) will have the pleasure of the Twixes on Thursday….
Thank God football is back!!! The villa game seems a long time ago. If all our players have recovered from their travels and knocks its the same team for me. Bournemouth have not been as free scoring as normal but they have tightened up at the back. If will be a test but i back us to maintain our unbeaten run. Then it’s off to Braga!!!!
Let’s see if we can meet up Matt…
The legends Stuwolf’s and Lowves are in attendance…
Well I think we’ll struggle to score for sure, but I also have a fear that we might not be secure enough defensively. So I reckon we might just come out of this fixture a bit short……..
And, lest I forget,
Y’all will have the dubious pleasure of my presence for the weekend of the Newcastle home game, Jan 11th.
It’s my parent’s 70th anniversary, so they kindly decided to have a “do” on the day of the game.
I will not disappoint them, and will definitely attend……………
The match!
They would expect nothing less!
I shall be holding court at the Novotel, or Dougie Singh’s new abode, if he ever moves in!
See y’all soon.
Hi Houston
Regret won’t be able to meet up as walking on Dartmoor that weekend on break with my wife celebrating her birthday.
Hope you enjoy your parents’ 70th and my congratulations to them. Please give Doug my very best wishes.
Thanks, Happy, for your kind words.
Truth is tho, you still owe me that pint and “walking on the moors” is a pathetic excuse to weasel out of buying me one.
Don’t worry, you can make good in Gdansk, or Wembley in the summer.
Houston I’ll buy you a bucket-full in Gdansk but not sure about Wembley. Hate the place. Oh and I’m going to miss the Bloggers Ball. Train tour of Norway with my wife.
However we are both at The Novotel for the Man City game.
Welcome back to real football folks, although in its defence the international break hasn’t been all that bad. Still, can’t beat having Prem footy back!!!
Come on me babbies, let’s carry on from where we left off.
Going for a comfortable win, and why not! Hoping for re-inforcements in January to help out with tired legs – an injury to Raul would be a disaster.
I am also going with a bold 2-0
Won’t be an easy game but can’t see us loosing.
Hope Traore plays as they’ll soil their shorts now he’s found his mojo ( whatever a mojo is or from wenched he lost it) after last season intro.
Fek VAR hope we score 2 off the keepers arse, 1 for Jota, 1 for Raul and a wonder strike from Reuben.
COMB FWAW FOwb, veela & sheddie who
International break curse to slow us down again
A little late to the party, as usual – traveling. Anyway, for some reason this one scares me so I’m gonna go with a close Wolves win (because I can’t ever predict a loss – those are the times when I don’t make a prediction. Kinda like if you don’t have anything good to say, then keep your trap shut!)
Some interesting comments above, what more can you say. As a few guys point out we are hopefully due a big one soon and what better chance than today. Just that final touch into the box from brilliant build up’s.
We’re in good form and have started to play really well so feeling positive going into this one. To look at this fixture I’d say it’s got a draw written all over it but I’ll go for narrow win. Jimenez to score traore with an assist
I would love to share the optimism but we are usually tardy and lethargic after international breaks. We should still have enough, especially with their injuries
( shame )!
Narrow win to keep us forging up the table.
I went to Bournemouth last season but can’t make it this year due to having to look after my kids (it’s a disgrace I know). Funny team Bournemouth hot one week shite the next, but I’ve got a good feeling about this one. Time for us to improve our terrible record at the vitality. 1-2 Jota to score both.
2-1 to the good guys. We are getting better by the game.
As we know, we can beat anyone on our day. So how can I predict anything but a win? One or two injury doubts, but so have they, so even if Adama is out, I feel we have the necessary back-up to ensure a victory by the seaside.
i remember losing out in our efforts to sign Callum Wilson. But what chance did we have we were up against the massive Bawnmowf oh the shame. So we bought his Coventry attacking partner Lion king Clarke oh the stupidity. Then just when the magic trio were beginning to shine Adobe needs out and where does he go – more shame with added frustration. I’m not going to mention the cup game of 1957 or breaking our goalpost. Just making the point that I find it difficult this quaint little holiday club.
Different team at home and not sure they will miss their injured trio too much. Sign of our success is just how much impact international breaks have on us. So I’m going for a conservative draw. But waiting expectantly for better.
Can still feel the pain of 57
Gotta get this right at some point….
A South Coast sizzler, Wolves to win by the odd goal in 5.
Is today the day we hammer the opposition?
No idea!
🙂
Overdue for a big win and we are playing well!
As I was saying to the DOOGooder when we were leaving the Pizza Express in Woking after the CCC (Coseley CrossDressers Club) annual general meeting, this could be a close game.
Nah only kidding it was at the weekly CCC meeting.
Hope your mom gets better soon.
I think both teams will cancel each other out in midfield, leading to a close game.
Wolves to pinch it in the 90th monute with a Doc headed goal.
You said you would never reveal our secret.
Just for that, the puce and purple two piece I was getting you for Christmas is going in the bin.
Bournemouth are no mugs, especially at home. Happy to take a draw with this one.
Just saw the team sheet and Traore is starting. I will go with my earlier view of 1-3 to Wolves.
Now the teams are in going for a Wolves win.
COMBs!
Not sure about this, so I’m sitting on the fence.
Let me be first. Wolves in fifth place! Need Sheffield United and Man I to draw tomorrow.
Wow. What’s the point in VAR if you are going to flag plays dead incorrectly. Can’t revisit them if the play is dead.
Let them play on and then review for offside.
Ultimately, it is just a matter of goal difference, but still frustrating.
I think we have to remember that it is a game of two halves and we shouldn’t assume it would be walk through the park the second half.
That being said, we had an extra man!!!!
Well said, Tim. Stupid ignoramous linesman not understanding the new protocol for flag raising.
Fantastic 3 points to put us up to 5 th
But seriously, what is the point of v a r ??? I thought it would be good for canceling out dodgy decisions that went the way of the so called big clubs ?
Jota was on side , it was a clear and obvious error but apparently wasn’t even reviewed because,,,, wait for it ,,,,, the linesman put his flag up quickly. I’ve never heard anything so stupid ,
Don’t get me wrong, we got the 3 points but imagine how much easier this would have been at 3-0
Rest a few players, less chance of injuries, more chance of winning Thursday, just because the ref and linesman reacted quickly?
Never mind getting the right decision then cos the important thing is how quickly the official reacts, total and utter crap ?
Rant over
Utw
Fifth and climbing
I love this team btw , the best wolves team in my lifetime
