I agree with that oldgold but to be fair to Traore in the 4 league games so far this season he has played three as a wing back and one on the bench. I think it’s only fair to judge his performances when he plays on the right of the attack which is surely his best position

Here is Corbeanu demonstrating his ball skills.

Wasn't Podence in the Portugal squad? Doesn't appear to be in the line up. Difficult to tell with these portugeezer names though.

Podence was in the squad and I think the only one not even included on the bench last night. Must be a fitness issue I suspect. Barely looked fit for us at the weekend where he was unusually anonymous

You dont always see guys that can do all that stuff become decent footballers, I think Corbeanu's got a chance though from what Ive seen of him.

There was a player back in the day called Dave Burnside who spent time at Albion and Wolves who got a national reputation for his ball juggling skills. Entertained the crowd at half time sometimes including once evidently managing nearly 500 headers without a break. Not that special a player though.

If you want to be impressed by a current player’s skills then watching Gibbs White on the training ground would quickly show you why he is considered such a great prospect. Most of the Wolves players would consider him to be the most talented amongst them from what I gather

Good to see Coady has kept his place for this friendly.

A back four no less

Did he go with a three? It is what i figured he would do but then saw it as a four. Think Southgate deserves some credit for trying to have a good alternate system at hand.

Crikey, Coady close to scoring then. Can’t remember last time he got a chance for Wolves

The odd thing is the the CBs either side of Coady both normally play in a back four. It does seem that Southgate is trying to build a defense around Coady. Maybe he has admiration for the way that Nuno has made Wolves defensively solid.

Woohoo Coady scores for England

As Jimenez likes to drop so deep maybe Nuno should try swapping them round..............................or not

Conor Coady is now England Captain. What a night he's having

Get in Connor! Oddly thought he may score 25/1

Ha wow, that is awesome

I am so proud. He is certainly making his mark. Future England manager perhaps... (Revisit in 15 years...)

Woah! Slow down! He's only had 2 caps and the Captain's armband for 10 minutes so far.

So proud of our skipper

Yep - but I have a hunch and am not often wrong. He’ll be Wolves manager first. Credit to the club, and who would have expected it!

Nice finish as well

First Wolves player to score for England since Bully?

Amazing what we have done with Coady when you look at it. You would have thought when Nuno came in he would be shown the door asap along with Edwards, Saville and Co but you would never have guessed in a million years he would anchor a three man defence and captain england or indeed score an international goal.
