Had some tight matches with Newcastle over past two seasons all of which we impacted on the result in the final minutes. Would accept the same this time around but would prefer a more convincing performance and result on Sunday.
I know we do a brilliant job of holding on to what we have but it doesn't make for the most comfortable watch, live or on tv.
The somewhat frustrating aspect of our performances is that When we decide to be more offensive, we look the business, dominate possession and create chances. Usually results in us taking the lead but then we sit back. No disrespect to Newcastle but they are similarly not overly offensive. Game will be very dull unless one team decides to go for it.

Sitting on 1-0 leads is what cost us our Euro place, Nuno knows it (which I suspect is the reason for the change in system) . But we are still too early on in this season with too many new players to be hopeful of anything more than a win, anything more would be a nice Sunday bonus ðŸ‘.

VAR cost us a Europa League place! Trust in Nuno COYW.

VAR technically and MR Dean cost us a top 4 finish.

Nope, cause with another goal none of it would have mattered! Shocking decision yes and VAR did us no favours last season but bad decisions are part of the game. We still should have finished in Europe (fairly comfortably to be honest)! How many points were we in front of Spurs when we restarted?! With the form we had before lockdown some were tipping us as an unlikely 4th! We just didn't see enough games safe, I do trust in Nuno which is why I think he's learnt from it is all. This squad shake up has happened for a reason ðŸ‘.

Burnley was the only game we dropped points in after leading, after lockdown! Caused by a 96th minute hopeful punt and scandalous officiating. Cheated out of Europe by VAR, at least 5 shocking decisions, not to mention the City penalty farce. COYW.

An important factor in missing out on Europe was the small size of our squad, which Nuno was on record of preferring. It wasn't just VAR and dropping points at the death. It was only after the Sevilla game when Wolves management sat down and changed course dramatically for this season. That small squad cost us big time. But we've turned over a new leaf this season and we've had our best PL start in I don't know long.
