Absolute belter that. Cushions it to the perfect spot with his knee then volleys it into the top corner giving Pickford no chance.
-
What a dive. Did VAR not pick it up? Oh no. forgot, it was De Bruyne and he plays for Citeh. Disgrace.
-
Reasonable set of results for us relegation candidates. If only we were worthy of being in this mighty league rubbing shoulders with the likes of Forest, Wolves, Bmuff, Brentford, Villa, Leeds etc etc eh Semmens?
-
Wolves down to 10 men.
-
Back up to 17th....come on Brighton!
-
Into the bottom 3 we go as Wolves convert a penalty.
-
To me it smacks of washing their hands of the problems - in other words they are saying it's tough so don't expect much and just be grateful if we stay up. It's almost as if they think this will deflect criticism.
-
Might change how many opportunities we create to give our goal scorers a fighting chance rather than feeding off largely scraps and needing to convert almost everything just to scrape a point here and there.

What makes you say he's not a nice guy? -
He'd make a balls of it and get the sac.

Might as well just play him for 30 minutes - after all, the rest only play 45 minutes a game. -

Like Semmens I couldn't give a monkeys about the result against Newcastle or where we finish - it's not important. The sooner more fans realise this the easier it will be to take the constant crap being dished up and poor results. -
What if the chances against us missed by our opponents were converted? Maybe we'd have even less points.
-
Anyone who was there see him?
-
Surely Ralph was involved? Don't tell me these first team squad players were at Staplewood in a competitive mach (ok the opposition wasn't great) and Ralph wasn't there to have a look at them.
-
It's a pretty good gig then. 6.5 million big ones a year and nobody to bother you, a local news guy in your pocket and no expectations from anyone because, apparently, nobody could do any better.
-
Hope Semmens gave up his Sunday afternoon to watch.
-
That would mean we create 4 good chances for him in every game which isn't happening while Ralph is in charge.
-
Surely not, I mean his legs have gone.....haven't they?
-
Agree with all of this.
-
Nail hit firmly on the head.
-
This is the other side of the coin which many choose to ignore or brush under the carpet allowing Ralph to accept no responsibility while chucking Adams under the bus.

But you're failing to factor in the misses against us almost as though we are the only side that misses chances. All sides do it in every match. You can't slant it in our favour and say we would have beaten X or drawn with Y because the fans of X and Y will simply point out that if they'd taken all their chances the result would have been different. It works both ways. Our problem is more that we don't create anything like enough chances and therefore we are reliant on converting a large percentage of them - it's not going to happen and it probably won't even if we bring in another striker. We are putting too much pressure on ourselves because we are set up to pass backwards and sideways and defend too much so when the odd chance comes along we have to take it. Instead I'd like to see Ralph make us more offensive and take the game to our opponents. Ralph is quite happy to do nothing until the other side score and I just wish he'd be more proactive for a change.
