Wolves fan here, as per Wilder’s post match comments, I thought you were outstanding last night. Very impressed by Duffy, Fleck and Norwood and by the movement of the wing backs. Really good to watch. Score the penalty and you probably win 3-0 and go top. 2 points dropped, but it’s a marathon and playing like that will have you right up there come the spring.
 

Hes nailed it with Fleck for me ,we were discussing this post match curry last night. Fleck is better with Coutts in the team as he plays shorter balls and Fleck can receive the ball deeper and run with it ,Norwood plays passes slightly longer and a bit more Hollywood and this doesn't suit Fleck. What we really need is a Mitrovic though , Clarke is a major concern for me ,I cant see him doing a good enough job for us.
 
Thought Arsenal fan was spot on. No quality in the box. It isn't good enough to get up and certainly not good enough to stay if we did.

I think, as CW alluded to in his post-match interview, that we need to get the ball in the box quicker. This involves the strikers being there to receive it, of course, but I think we have strikers who will score with better delivery to them. Too many times we want that extra touch. Quick balls across the box make defenders nervous and they can make mistakes too.

Clarke is the obvious upgrade place.

Fleck has been a bit disappointing this year. Could settle in to a new role but might just not suit his game?
 
I thought the Forest fan's comment was quite funny. Clearly a reference to the blatant L**ds handball that was allowed against them.
 
Nice to see literally everyone except the Pigs seeing us for what we are and them for what they are....

Already sick of the noise of propagandist bollocks coming from them
 



I See the typical Forest fan twat post in amongst that lot.

Having seen Forest several times this season, there might be a subconscious element of showing solidarity with a team that plays just like they do. What the Pigs did last night is pretty much exactly what Forest did at Leeds the other week; conceding 75%+ possession and boring their way to a point.

That, and of course, the massive chip that Forest have on their shoulder about the Blades...

I actually don't think their reaction has been that bad. I don't think any of them are happy with what they saw. Relieved yes but not happy.

I magine today when the relief passes it will be back to the misery of the last month.
 
Fleck and Duffy picked the ball up 25 yards from goal on about two hundred occasions and instead of making a beeline to get in the box they slowed down, went around in a circle a couple of times, a couple of stepovers and then gave it to Freeman or Stevens.
This is ok if Stevens and Freeman are running in behind the full backs but Freeman and Stevens were receiving the ball from Fleck and Duffy in front of the defender instead of behind him meaning the only way to go was back and try again

It's a real mystery because both players are excellent running with the ball

Exactly i was pulling my hair out last night at the number of times we take an extra touch or double back, cross the bloody ball 1st time sometimes.
I didn't really pull my hair out I'm bold as a coot but i would have if i had any.

We already know this ,it's the one thing holding us back the window is very important. As for the premiership no team goes up with a squad that is good enough to stay there .
 
I don't mind a bit of bile. What I hate id when we don't beat Wednesday and reading loads about how we beat them in spirit , or they should be embarrassed, or we really showed them who is top dog.

We didn't won. All that stuff is nearly as bad as the winning 0-0 bollocks they came out with last year.
 
Some incredible comments here. They always talk shit on that forum though

I like the aging squad comment. We have 4 players over 30 in the entire squad. The Warnock comment......

They're just bitter because after starting fights with United fans in the 1988 play off where two United fans were stabbed they came off a very second best.
I was sat in the stand to the left of the main body of United fans with 300-400 other United fans and we were constantly having to fight them off as they charged over towards us. Thing is we weren't worried at all.
They then complained like women about our fans behaviour in the 2nd leg after stabbing two of our fans in the first leg

It was fate that we played them the following season and it was even sweeter that it was on the last day of the season and we were getting promoted.
7,000 Blades, let's say they exacted a very painful revenge

In almost every area you get one side who are really decent and other side who are the total opposite. Bristol Rovers fans came across brilliantly when we were in League One whereas City just come across like Wednesday. Not the same city but Derby and Forest are the same. Derby decent, Forest pricks. Ipswich sound, Norwich wankers.

It's also funny how the wanker clubs all stick up for each other on Social Media. "I prefer Wednesday to United" is often posted by fans of Bristol City, Forest and Norwich after they have played one of us and they all have this pathetic love in. Definitely some sort of insecurity issue.
