Liam Keen stating Lemina at CB again. Transfermrkt showing a 3-5-2 set up with Semedo, Toti and RAN at the back. Hope Keen is right.

I agree with Tam, that Santiago Bueno is fast becoming our best CB and his current groin strain may be the reason he doesn't start today, but with games coming thick and fast now, we need to keep as many players fully fit as possible and rotate the squad.

Bit late today.
I will be at the Molineux today (sadly only in spirit.)

3-1, Cunha with a brace.
5 stars for Goldie.


COYW

Going for 1-1

Ah, settling down for the game, only missed the first 9 mins, can't have missed much

We've got our Wolves back

Dawson for Rodrigo at the half. A back five now with Lemina, Dawson, Toti

You're not going to win many games if you give away three preventable penalties.

Well, this today was an absolute shambles from top to bottom. Truly hopeless.

Don't know how Fosun can watch that and not think they have to sack GON.

What a farce that was. I'll watch it back later. How stonewall were the penalties. Couldn't tell from my seat

Sa going into the south bank at half time was madness

Players have to take their share of the blame today, put fought and out run. Dreadful individual performances, Toti and Dawson committing football suicide, Lemina looked like he was playing out of position, Bellegarde anonymous bar his assist. Felt for Larsen he was the only one that didn't deserve to be on the losing side today.

Ref was awful too, their second pen was very soft, we should've had two if he was giving that one.

Not sure what happened at HT with Sa but by the reaction sounded like was a fan being a d!ck.

And didn't manage to catch-up with any 606ers in spoons either. Was looking out for hctl's cockney mob and there was an old geezer asleep in the corner that could've been WO but didn't disturb him.

Ah I missed the memo. I was in the north bank bar till 2iish

Ref was blowing his whistle like he was at a rave with Bournemouth time wasting for the entire second half

Very poor and very disheartening performance by Wolves. Error strewn game with only Larsen on our side coming out with any credit. Even the usually reliable Cunha and Joao Gomes were poor today. Defensively we were a shambles and in the first half Bournemouth looked like they could score with any attack. Toti gave away the first penalty then played Sa into trouble for the second. Whether that one should have been a pen I’m not sure with Sa attempting to kick the ball free but the Bournemouth player putting his foot between Sa and the ball to make sure he was kicked. Don’t think the ref was going to give anything but the player lied down waiting for a review and it came. The third pen was sickening. Coming so soon after Larsen had given us some hope at 3-2, Dawson committed suicide with a terrible back pass

In his press conference on Friday GON said it was going to be a very different game to the previous games with Bournemouth playing long, pressing hard, being more physical. So if it was going to be very different, why pick the same team? Did he really believe a back two of Lemina and Toti was going to be the answer to our defensive woes?

Silly of Sa to go into the crowd at the interval. Two guys had been giving him abuse so he pointed them out and the stewards threw them out. Amazing what some people think represents supporting a team.

Been out all day, log on to check the score..WTF? How did we concede 3 pens and still keep all 11 on the field? Were they genuine pens or has VAR returned to normal service?

Two pens were definite, one probable. Don’t think we can point to bad luck as the reason we lost today

Meanwhile Fabio Silva scored Las Palmas winner against Barcelona this afternoon at the Montjuic.

I didn't get too excited about last weeks win, as we could easily have been 0-2 down at HT. ( although the 3 points were a bonus.)
Today's line up was weird, especially as GON expected a different game, but he still went without two recognized CB's. Lemina did well last week, but that's not his position.

Apart from Larsen, there wasn't much else from most of the players today. The frustrating thing about this team is that we are capable of scoring, only failing to score in 1 league match this season. No-one has a better record than us. However the goals against are a disgrace and GON has to take responsibility for that.

Sa had a nightmare today and on that showing alone should be rested for next week's game and Santi must start as he is proving to be our best CB. RAN also needs resting in my opinion.
Best put this one behind us and get some kind of result at Everton next week.

Concluded today that Lemina is OK as an emergency CB. At 1.45 today there was no emergency.
These are my wise words after the event, have to admit I was OK either team when it was announced.
Goes to show I shouldn’t be the Wolves manager. The question is: should GON be?

Nouri is playing well just not spectacular. Question is we rest him who do we play instead

I wouldn’t rest him, but I would stop playing him at FB. He’s Ozk there but wasted.

no, he has had enough decent players at his disposal to be doing better

Really don't get people blaming O'Neil for players individual errors. How is that on him? Criticise him for his initial second half set up before he made the subs which was gash but it was Toti and Dawson gifting them goals that killed us today.

That kind of ill discipline today is what you usually see from a team that is poorly coached and probably going to be relegated. If we had seen another team set up like that and give away three preventable penalties, we would be thinking their club was in disarray.

We've got the worst defensive record in the league by 5 goals now. We've conceded 7 more than Southampton, 8 more than Ipswich and 14 more than Crystal Palace. I don't think we can pretend that GON isn't the issue with this anymore.

Although ONeill should rightly take his share of the blame, he is trying to polish a terd 💩 given his CB options. Non are good enough for the division.

Unless Fosun panic and spend big on a couple of proper defenders in January, then we are guaranteed to be in a 3 from 6 relegation battle come April/May.

I think there are three worse teams than us, but is it a gamble worth taking?

Fosun Out!
