What it's albout

January 5 2024
Happy New Year Wolves Fans Wolves aim to continue their winning run of three consecutive wins tonight with a visit to the GTech Community Stadium where they recently had a very succesful evening. The third round of the FA Cup beckons and a good run in the competition would surely be welcomed by the club and the fans.
After a tough and challenging run of htree games in six days, Wolves players may well be looking forward to getting over tonight's game ahead of the international break. However head coach Gary O'Neil has already stated that he has no plans to make sweeping changes to the team for this game, especially as he is already without Rayan Ait-Nouri and Boubakar Traore who are at AFCON, Hee Chan Hwang who is at the Asia Cup and Mario Lemina who is mourning the death of his father in France, so he doesn't have a great deal of options to choose from, unless he dips into the Under 23's or Under 21's squads. So the presumtion is that he will field as strong a team as possible, with minor changes such as Dan Bentley stepping into goal, and possibly Santiago Bueno getting a game in defence. Hugo Bueno is likely to step in for Ait-Nouri with Tommy Doyle likely to maintain his midfield position after a very positive showing against Everton.
It seems a six month loan deal has now been agreed for Sasa Kaladjzic to move to Eintracht Frankfurt as soon as he is available, and with Fabio Silka having already moved on loan to Rangers, FGrasier going on loan to Shrewsbury and Hwang away we can only presume that O'Neil has a plan for his strike force if the need arises. However it must be said that Matheus Cunha has matured no end in our forward line this season scoring and provising assists and will hopefully benefit even more with the return of Pedro Neto to the line-up.
Brentford still have a number of notable absentees, particularly with Ivan Toney still suspended until later in the month.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:15pm and will not be screened on any major UK station. Our referee will be Tony Harrington with Rebecca Welsh on VAR Duty

Good to see our old friend Nathan C given another run outš.
No Craig Dawson though?
No Craig Dawson though?
Subs bench full of youngsters which does highlight how small our first team squad is. Never mind, let's get on with it.
Jose Sa retains his place, Santi Bueno starts as does the Doc and Bellegarde as replacements. Neto and Sasa on the bench, but Bentley, Dawson and Hugo B don't appear in the squad. Line-up:
Pablo immediately catches Maupay, but despite his dramatic response I think he will survive! 2.5 K Wolves fans at the game
Decent side ā¦ā¦. Good luck to the lads, fingers crossed that after a wonderful match last week at Brentford, we keep this good run up!
Keeper gives the ball to Cunha but he canāt get into a shooting position but gets a corner. Foul in the area given against Wolves
Joao tackles Norgaarde and gets a straight red card. Norgaarde limping off - he was caught from behind down the Achilles so probably the right decision.

Thommo and Burrows are questioning the red card, not necessarily out of hand, but felt it was debatable. Whatever the situation, has our FA Cup campaign finished before itās started?
Will take an excellent effort for us to get something out of this

Ball fired across Wolves area which no one picks up & goes for a corner which is cleared. Doyle down hurt after a challenge from Damsgaarde but able to play on
Foul on Doyle goes unpunished but commentary suggesting it was identical to the Gomes sending off. If correct, bloody typical

Roerslev gets a yellow card for blocking Cunha. Good stop by Jose to keep out a Dasilva effort
Pablo concedes a free kick just outside our area, cleared out to Maupay who smashes it into the top corner.

Pinball in the box followed up Maupay who scores.
That, could well be that, though theyāve been playing okay the last 15 minutes.
ā1-0 to the refereeā is the chant from the Wolves fans

Four added minutes to play. Maupay is masterful at falling over whenever challenged & wins another free kick ten yds out, which ends up being fired wide.
Half time after a very difficult half for Wolves. Worst possible start when Joao Gomez was dismissed for a tackle from behind which also ended Norgaardeās game. Excellent shot from Maupay to give Bees the lead in a crowded area. We could possibly hope to draw level now and take them back to Molineux.

Tough one to come back from so I guess that this may be as far as we go this year.
Still much debate about the sending off and the non-sending off. Academic now as we trail by both one goal and one player.
2nd half starts, not impossible for Wolves but a tall order.

Good play by Doc into their area & to feed Pablo but he canāt control it. Down the other end Jose stops a shot from Damsgaarde. Now Dasilva shoots wide on the volley.

Neto apparently warming up and preparing to play
Replaces Sarabia
Lewis-Potter falls over when he feels JRB behind him & free kick given two yds outside our area. Jose pushes Maupay out of his way and play is held up whilst VAR look at it!! Wolves wall holds good against free kick.
Corner to Wolves and after a second corner Tommy Doyle smashes a left footed shot from outside the area into the top right corner giving their keeper no chance. What a way to open his Wolves account!

Looking forward to seeing that Doyle goal! Heās followed it up by knocking down a Brentford defender š, Jensen I believe.
The Doyle strike is our firs goalt from outside the box. Jensen could have to be replaced.
Wolves fans in fine voice

Bees gift a corner to Wolves & Doyle slams another shot which hits Jensen on the head so play stops. Jensen unable to continue & replaced by Baptiste.
Brentford do look like a team that just lost five in a row. Pedro has been great since his intro and the crowd sounds all Wolves
Max marauds forward & links well with Neto before trying to curl one into the far side of the net but is wide.
Weāre having a good spell. Need to guard against too much guns ho stuff being a man down. Final 12 minutes of normal time
Good industrious work from JRB to earn another corner which Doc heads wide.
Santi Bueno gets a yellow card for a foul. Free kick comes to nothing. Harris falls over looking for a free kick but gets nothing.
Corner to Wolves ā¦.our 3 CBs are up, comes to nothing. Tight at the back please lads!
Ball put over into our area brings a good save out of Jose but free kick given against Maupay. Into final 3 minutes & Neto takes it upfield to get another corner. Breaks down & Bees attack again. Janelle puts his cross over too hard. Wolves bring on Chirewa for his debut replacing JRB who has worked really hard all game. Five added minutes to play
Corner to Brentford with maybe 1-2 minutes to go. Meanwhile Potter and Semedo go face to face, thereās a yellow to someone.
Great play by Cunha to feed Neto who shoots but too high. Jose does well to prevent a corner. Nelson concedes a corner against Lewis-Potter followed by handbags between them & both get a yellow card. Play being held up apparently by VAR, but now complete.
80 plus minutes down to 10 men and 1-1 FT.
Full credit to this Wolves side under Gary OāNeil, an excellent replay earned and my dream of the FA cup lives on!!! šš
Cāmon you Wolves!!

Bees attack but Jose collects and smothers the ball. All over and Jose winds up the fans behind him. Lights have gone out at the stadium. A very hard game for Wolves having to play 80+ minutes with ten men after Joaoās sending off. Two very well taken goals, including a superb first for Tommy Doyle, and so we go back to Molineux for a replay in two weeks.

Was that by placing a bet Angry?
No Ivy, I have an account and watched it for free ( no bets) but you need to actually log in to a live account
Great result after playing most the game with 10 men and a great goal by Doyle.
The red card may of been right but I think brentford should of had one to, double standards yet again but we are used to having the refs and var against us by now.
Well done 10 man wolves playing against 13 yet again!

10 men, away from home against a Premiership side and coming back from a goal behind, the team did exceptionally well. Doyle was fantastic and a great goal topped off his performance. Surely signing him for such a small fee is a no-brainer Cunha played well, Santiago slotted in nicely and Neto again looked sharp. The sending off, although accidental, I thought was sadly correct but the stamp on Doyle later should have seen Brentford down to 10. And apparently it's now alright to grab someone around the throat as long as it's a Wolves player you're throttling. I don't think it was anyone on here but earlier in the season I read no end on other groups saying how O'Neil had lost the changing room, they didn't want to play for him and he would be sacked by Christmas. I wonder what all the know-alls think now, although lose a couple of matches and they'll be back.
Over the years the mol mix and the insane wolves forum have actually affected my support for the club realising how many morons support wolves. They swing from one extreme to another and the likes of Jos wolf , mugwimp ( who has been crying for years how great Fabio Silva is and anyone not agreeing is clueless) are some of the saddest fckers I've ever encountered on the Web let alone any football forum.
Let's not also forget the poster " Steve bulls knee", imagine being sat next to that thundering spunktrumpet at a match. Virtue signals about everything relentlessly and so far to the left, he may as well have a picture of the hard shoulder as his avatar as he fawns over every woke cause imaginable. An utter c*nt of a man š©š¤”
