Match Thread V Reading (A, 04/03/2017)

Sorry no image today as it won't upload. Wolves face a tough game today against Reading who sit in the play-off places. Wolves today could drop into the bottom three with a loss and results going against them. Things are looking bad when at the start of the season everyone was dreaming of a title challenge under the new dawn of fosun. It's time the lads started to turn things around and with a little hope, Dicko will go on a scoring run following his goal last week.
Match Facts
Wolves have lost their last four league games, as well as losing in the FA Cup fifth round to Chelsea.
They have not suffered five league defeats in a row since November/December 2014, under Kenny Jackett.
They last lost six matches on the trot in an ultimately seven-match losing run in March/April 2012, when Terry Connor was manager, following the sacking of Mick McCarthy.
Reading are winless in their last three league meetings with Wolves, having failed to score in all three games.
Reading have won eight of their last 10 home Championship games.
Only Fulham (83%) have a better passing accuracy than Reading in the Championship this season (81%).
Wolves have not won an away game at the Madejski Stadium since winning 2-1 in April 2005 (3D,1L). Leon Clarke and Rohan Ricketts scored as Wolves came back from a early goal down.

It seems like Lambert has lost patience with our defence and gone all out for improvement. I'm pleased to see Williamson replace Batth as I think he has been a weak link. Hause and Iorfa will have a chance to prove themselves. Why he prefers Saville to Doherty at Left Back I don't understand particularly as the Doc has been more or less an ever present for the past two seasons. Marshall on the right wing is a new one on me too. but we'll have to see. We can only hope that Dicko has found his scoring boots now & Costa will turn it on against top 6 opposition

Reading dominating, Wolves can't string 2 passes togather. Nothing to worry either keeper yet.

19th minute... 1st corner of the game goes to Wolves.
Rubbish, Reading break up to other end, Iorfa clears.
Reading well in charge after 20 mins 0-0. No shots on target yet.

This must be the easiest match thread ever, nothing to write !
Reading still dominating but creating nothing.

Wolves doing OK at the back, but typically not creating much up front
Awful free kick by Reading,long distance and weak, but it was the 1st shot on target in the match. Very simple for Ikeme
Costa shot deflected for a corner, Wolves best opportunity this half.
Cleared off the line.

Loads of wasted possession from Reading. Wolves passing poor. 0-0 correct result so far.

Not been an exciting game has it. Still the defence look a bit more solid. Hopefully we will put a few more passes together and create a few chances in the second half.
Reading score from shot deflected past Ikeme. Just about sums our season up so far

2nd half 10 mins gone 1-1
Much better from Wolves, better passing,possession and pressing higher up.
Good save from keeper denies Coady.
Edwards heads at keeper..difficult chance.

Williamson is getting up there and putting in some good headers. Wolves getting their act togtehr up front at the moment
Really looking dicey at the bottom, though at the start of this I'd have taken a point at Reading - if we hang on!
C'mon Wolves!
C'mon Wolves!
Dicko shot into side netting, good run from Costa who should've taken the shot himself.

Fairly even in the last 10 mins, both sides doing better than in 1st half.

Still an entertaining half, Wolves having the better of it.

Good delivery but poor defending by Williamson. Ikeme had no chance.
Holy moly - if Bristol City hadn't have missed their penalty we'd now be in the bottom 3.
Desperate stuff. Sky reporting Williamson was unlucky to get his marching orders

Well, the last 6 matches reads:
W0 D0 L6
I'm speachless. After the match v Newcastle I uttered the jonahesque words that I didn't think we'd go down. I firmly believed it but wouldn't so saft as to say that we were too good to go down.
We lost today - in the context of the season, today won't be the result that caused our demise, though Blackburn winning and a point from Bristol City (should have been 3) has piled on the pressure at the wrong moment.
Football is about scoring. We have consistently proved we cor hit a barn door.
Troubling and worrying and I can't see where the next goal is coming from. Rotherham at home next week. That could get nasty.

Terrible form and the manager (who I was optimistic about) does not seem to have a clue!
Next game is a must win!

Look if we just stay up then Lambert will be there till next Christmas when they sack him, If we go down they may keep him we should come straight back up people will think he his a hero he will be sacked the Christmas following 1 or 2 more years wasted I rate this man the poorest since Mr Magoo

Just been listening top some of the post match autopsy on Wolves Player, and Thommo says he can't understand why PL doesn't play two up top. He's played Bodvarsson there on his own, he's now playing Dicko there on his own. Surely he need to play 4-4-2!!
I wonder whether it's because he wants to keep Edwards in the team? I also struggle with his notion of dropping Doherty for Saville.
We won a couple of matches and people were saying they can see signs of improvement - it was knee jerk reaction nonsense based on hope.

Doherty was our best player by far against Brum in fack for a full back he was the best we had going forward But this is no idea Lambert.
I forgot about Ipswich. Oh lord, though knowing us we'll win there and lose at home to Rotherham

This is from 15 years ago , just illustrates in all these years we haven't progressed from this starting point and will likely be saying the same thing in another 15 years whoever takes over. [www.thefootballnetwork.net]

Yep! Managers, coaches, players, owners all come and go and NOTHING changes! 'The Wolves Way' eh? Must be something in the water in WV1 - either that or Doris is putting lsd in the cups of tea!
As mentioned on another thread, the only possible answer to our misery must be Ronko. He was obviously telling the truth after all and I think he should be tracked down and have his @#$%& wolfs head design burned. Let's put an end to all this.

Just seen the highlights, I don't think the ball crossed the line from the Saiss header as stated by the E&s. However the red card was a joke as the reading player was already on his way down before hitting Williams.
