Just got back from the game after going to my cousins birthday which had an open bar (thank fook) and there are four main points I would like to make.
Firstly I do not wish to have a go at mick, he trains the lads daily and can see what they do etc but how on earth did Edwards get a head of Guedioura and milijas I don't know. He was poor through out the game and even ran it out of play twice. I am sorry but I would rather have foley in the middle with stearman at RB (YES STEARMAN). Or we really need to go all out in january and get a decent, proven centre mid.
Secondly we are really badly missing some creative flair, from my view in the steve bull upper we had four good chances to let fletch and doyle get behind villa's backline even when they are waving their arms and pointing to where they want it our midfield do not get their heads up and look, but play it to the side and then back with the eventual hoof ball. I could actually see the frustration on fletchs face when they didn't play the ball to him.
Thirdly we are so bad at keeping the ball, we either pass it away or run it into trouble. I know we had good spells with the ball during the game but didn't do much with it as our goal was a complete fluke. We just did not know what to do with the ball when we get it into the final third, it is all chip and cross it into the box and hope it lands to one of our players.
And lastly but not least crosses and set pieces are the achilles heel of wolves. We cannot defend them, the wolves players lose their man and keep getting out muscled for the ball in the air when we do. Also we invite the crosses in to much when we are not closing the opposition down fast enough. I was shouting for stearman to close young down to stop the cross followed by noooooooooooooo when I saw the ball floating towards Heskeys head which was unchallened and unmarked for a free header.
Guedioura please don't be out for to long, we really need you. Even though mick only gives you ten minutes. I also belive Henry has completlely changed from the hard but fair challenges to the lets just put a foot in and see if I can win it mentality, it is probaly the fear of being sent of because referee's are keeping an eye on him after being branded a thug.
If we can sort these little problems out we would be fine and dandy as a mid table club in the league.
Mick sort it out please.
