Didn’t see first half, probably for the best. Rob got team wrong today in my opinion. Back 3/5 at home v Bournemouth and today a back 4 v Chelsea makes no sense to me.
Like others have said R. Gomes deserves to be starting, if Krejci not fit enough for 90 mins surely we would have been better to start with him and play him for 60 mins.


Not the right time today to play 4 at the back, see Hwang started again as well, how did he play?

He was his usual terrible self. He didn't move or run into spaces. His passing was awful. Even Matheus Mane was shouting at him because he just doesn't move.

The moment he was subbed in the 42nd minute, there was a huge sigh of relief in the North Bank where I was sitting and we looked so much better without him.

Hopefully, Edwards won't play him again.

BullysBoy, if you have any positives about Hwangs performance today, I'd love to hear them because every fan I spoke to today all said the same thing. He's awful.

Hwang was bloody awful. Probably not his fault though as Edwards’ formation was laughable. Didn’t make one ounce of sense.

Shot ourselves in the feet again. Two stupid ridiculous penalties dumped the confidence we had into the wet ground.
Fair enough we had a mini go at it in the second half, but nobody can hit the target it seems!
Hwang was there a couple of times defensively, I didn't note any thing else, and we performed better after he and doc had been replaced with kreicji and rodrigo.
Mane seems to need to read the situations a bit quicker.

Tolu was a threat we never had in larsen but isn't as clinical. Mosquiro is abit of a maverick but entertaining until he commits the silly foul and gets involved with things he shouldn't.
Chelsea players were 'falling' quite easily and the 'head' injury farce used to hold up play when convenient.

This aspect of cheating must be dealt with.
OK Chelsea could maybe have Upped things if they hadn't got 3 but we made a fist, (if only a loose one), of it in the second, and the two pens cost us.
I know some on here are blaming RE for his selections, but kreicji wasn't 100% and maybe he thought docs experience would benefit over jackson?

We were looking in it until the pens and RE can't be held personally responsible for that.
Forest Tues I think, could see a better performance, I really hope so because I'm not giving up on RE so quick.

I think on the whole we have been much better in recent weeks, too far behind the teams above unfortunately.
Rob should not be under any pressure in the short term, as long as, our performances are positive, we need some wins though. Big game away v Forest in my opinion, can we go back to 3/5 at the back please including Krejci.

We looked a lot better in the 2nd half but you know by the time of the Forest game, Hwang will have impressed in training and will start.

We are in big trouble next season. Sa, Santi, Hugo, Andre, Joao, Bellegarde, Arias, Agbadou, Mane, Wolfe, Krejci and Jackson will all have suitors and will leave. We won't take up the option to sign Angel as he looks decent so someone else will beat us to his signing.

Armstrong and Tolu looked like they'll knuckle down and fight but Tolu may go too.

This leaves, Johnstone, Toti, Doc, Mosquera, Traore, Doyle, Lima, Rodrigo, Sasa and Hwang.

Lets face it fans, we're well and truly f*cked. Fosun will take whatever money they can for the outgoings and will not invest in this squad.

They'll make Rob Edwards buy either untested youngsters or useless, cheap (for a reason) rejects.

Well Banksy, you've got it completely wrong. The first half was much better, if you just count the first ten minutes when we were the only team in it! Then the usual happened, shooting ourselves in the foot with ridiculously unnecessary defensive lapses.

The trouble is our players probably look good in training. I know why - they're only up against fellow Wolves players! So depressing. I'm fed up of sitting in the Stan Cullis with my head in my hands!

Re keeps on making the wrong starting/ formation, game after game, more outgoings
On horizon.
Hwang 1/10, doc 3/10, on yer bikes
Angel. New boy 7/10. Will he stay
Jao was pretty annoyed being subbed
But.

We all know its championship football next season.,
Lets get some free agents in for rest of season. Weve got nothing to lose
? Raheem sterling, he'd be guaranteed a game

Problem.is with R Gomes that it's three managers now that are ignoring him, with one actually calling him out for his attitude (VP). I don't think any of them doubt his ability but we aren't on the training ground, so how poor must his attitude be to be constantly over looked in this current squad?!

At the back we have a few issues, firstly playing a back 4 we don’t have particularly good full backs, so doc made more sense defensively than Rodrigo. I think with Krecji just getting over flu he was hoping to get away with a back 4 and not have to use him, unfortunately RE couldn’t account to stupid defensive errors giving away penalties.

But like everyone else can’t understand why Hwang keeps starting.

Your right BoS our last five managers will have an answer for that, each one of which consistently picked him and each one of which have FAR more of a background on pro team selection than ANYONE on this forum! ???

Problem is Good that you seem to keep (choosing) to miss my point, SO often in fact that it now seems somewhat pointless explaining it to you mate! It's not that I rate Hwang, in fact I've been VERY clear in previous posts that I don't! The point is that all of the managers we've had in the last five years seemingly do rate Hwang and seem to think he's worthy of consideration. So either you know more than each of them collectively or more likely they see something in this guys approach that they think is worthy of recognition! I don't pick the team mate, so either man up and call the manager out or don't but either way don't blame me or the player for regularly being picked cause it's not his (or my) fault! Reminds me of Karl Henry, everyone had a go at him whilst ignoring the fact that the manager rates him.

At no point have I said that I rate Hwang, what I have said is that most mangers do whilst equally most managers have consistently decided that R Gomes isn't working hard enough to start! Don't blame me for the choices this club makes but maybe be big enough to accept that maybe each of those managers have seen FAR more of these players than any of us get to?!

How long you been following wolves?. How much do you know about football?. That team selection is a Sunday morning selection. you can slate me as much as much as you want but Edwards is not better but worse than the previous manager's. mosquera is absolutely awful.

Doc is league 1 at best. Hwang is just milking us cus he wasn't injured today he just bottled it. The club is rancid and needs a deep clean. Edwards is not our messiah he's just a bang average run of the mill manager. and that's coming from a wolves home and away since 1966.

BullysBoy, yesterday confirmed my suspicions regarding Hwang playing just for sponsorships sake.

As I was walking into the ground, I met a group of 6 Koreans and they were all excited. However at half time I saw that they were leaving. I managed to ask them why and they told me that they had only come to see Hwang play and now that he had gone off, they weren't interested but were going to take their position outside the players entrance to try and meet him. I did ask them who else they hoped to meet and they said no one, only Hwang.

Although I have no inner knowledge of the club, based on the football I and others watch, Hwang is not being picked on footballing ability. If you can't see that, then it's you that's missing the point. As I say, this isn't about football to Fosun anymore, this is about money and Hwang is very marketable in the Asian market but isn't a good player.

There's an awful lot of things wrong with the club at the moment, and at the end of the day who wanted the job in hand after VP?
Edwards at least, he put his hand up being a local chap and ex wolves. He gave up what was looking a promising season with Middlesbrough. It was literally a no win situation here.
There has been abit of a rise in the passion and the energy of games, we've equatedourselves relatively well at arsenal and Liverpool, City.
Given the situation we're in, with players knowing they won't be around next year he's got a job on his hands to just keep us ticking over, and to compare that to Sunday morning football management is just stupid.
No, we always know better when we've not seen or heard from players involved, or studied what we think are strengths and weaknesses.
I'm sure RE isn't just selecting for the sake of it, which brings me to Hwang, now I've been one of his biggest critics, he dumbfounds me, but a comment from Thommo and Naylor on commentary made me think again.
Hwang was getting a lot of gyp from the S bank when he simply shielded and attack instead of going in to win a ball, they asked what did the crowd expect him to do, challenge and possibly lose the ball leaving us open, commit the foul and where was he going if he won the ball, he was simply giving our lads the chance to get back and align.
Now I'd agree if I was watching, he'd be looking idle, I'd be shouting at him too, but maybe it's little things like that that managers ask and players have to do. (remember dendonker)

I think it's this that Bully's refers to when several managers have played him over others

As it happens I still personally think its time for him to be rested as he looks 'lost'.

To criticise RE at the moment is short-sighted and unjust, giving what he's inherited, save it for next season.

I'm hoping to see a more fluent and intelligent game on Tues with Angel and Armstrong feeling better incorporated and more at home and with kreicji and hopefully jackson starting.
