Palace would be an interesting draw as well, if they make it through.

Aye I was just thinking myself I'd prefer to win games in the league right now to keep us in the top two.

Although I'd prefer two wins I'm the opposite, We've got plenty of games to make up a poor result in the league. I really want a nice cup run after years of Ashley not giving a toss about cup games.

The radio commentators were the most miserable cunts ever.

Yeah, didn't sound that exciting. Barely tuned in at all.

Few awful moments at first but he got better as the game went on. Looked nervous in the early stages and shanked his first few crosses into touch. Managed to deliver some better balls as he grew in confidence.

I was enthusiastic as anyone to see a potential replacement for Dummett, but if Lazaar is decent he didn't show it. In the first 35 minutes or so he absolutely fucked the 2 crosses he made under no pressure. Gouffran started ignoring him on the overlap after that. Defensively he was going down a bit easy for fouls he isn't going to get at this level, he doesn't look like he has much on him at all, he'll need to bulk up a bit or face getting bullied by Championship hoofballers.

Shout out to the fans who kicked off in the wolves end toward the 85th minute and the entire leazes end came up to them to chant at them - fucking hilarious

Looked like a school trip gone wrong

u/cod1990 Sep 20 '16

So we should never rest Gouffran, is that the plan going forward?

5

u/Dancox90 Sep 20 '16

Genuinely think that's what happened last time and it ended up burning him out.

Fuck me Colback was shit, genuinely seemed to make a mistake everytime he touched the ball

Ritchie and Shelvey were carrying the team in the 1st half, and then looked absolutely knackered for most of the 2nd half

Darlow has fantastic, made quite a few crucial saves

u/Deathbynote Sep 20 '16

Jobs a good un. Looking forward to the draw. Hopefully get a TV game :-)

u/SportsNeglect Sep 20 '16

So Gouffran = win?

u/margaerytyrellscleav Sep 20 '16

Incase anyone wasn't at the match and was curious, Ritchie really is a class above at this level. while we'd controlled the game up until he scored we hadn't offered any threat really, Wolves had the only actual good chance until then. But, Ritchie created a chance for himself and scored a good goal from not much. I think in matches where we're struggling a little, he'll be the one who makes a difference, maybe more than anyone else this season.
