We're all off to get blue passports Watford 1 - 2 Wolves verdict.

[pavlosmacwolf]

Neves made the win today, his ball out to Jotta for the first, from being on his ass on the floor, and then the superb cross for the second on a gale force day, for a lad of 22 he's the dog's bollocks. and Jota there are no words for this guy.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Good thing for us is Fulham have decided to play openly. Won 3 on the bounce but it seems their keeper saved them today, so we will get chances. Obviously Mitro will scare the living shit out of us, as he always does.

I reckon it could be another Rotherham type game 6 4 ?

 

[jlo]

No VAR in the Prem until next season

Can't wait. Jota is going to run defences to shreds if they can't tackle him like they do at the moment (or we're going to have a lot more free kicks and defenders carded).

 

[AndyWolves]

Dont get me wrong, I love beano and I hope he retires here, but we need to upgrade him. Hes made a ton of mistakes this season, conceded several penalties, got away with penalties, doesnt have a passing range (bar one or two games), cant take the ball up. We cant afford to start him if were aiming for a european place. We got incredibly lucky foster made a mistake for the jota goal, I doubt ud be saying "lay off beano" if the game ended 1-1 and it was the difference between 7th and 8th

Yeah I would

Our defence looks better with Bennett in it

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The anti-Bennett nonsense is a load of fucking cock. How about laying off him? We FUCKING WON TODAY. We are in pole position for a European tour. Jesus wept.

 

[Carrotdude]

I think Jota might be our best and most important player now, I bloody love the guy

“Ton of mistakes” I asked you to tell me the last one, I can’t remember it. He conceded a penalty against Palace in the last minute, doesn’t really count.

To be a top 6 side, we need an upgrade. No one will disagree with that, but we aren’t there yet and he is in the team on merit. Nuno keeps trying to drop him but he keeps getting back in the side with solid performances.

So please enlighten me on these mistakes?

 

[Dire Wolf]

Been travelling down to London for tomorrow's marathon (gf running it, not me) so only saw the last 5 minutes of the 1st half and the 2nd half. Jota was absolutely terrific again. He's improving each and every game, he is going to be world class very, very soon if he keeps this up. I hate Watford now, and really glad to see the end of them for this season.

 

[Tredman]

If you are looking purely as a defender then Bennett is great, I'd say he's no more prone to a mistake than Coady or Boly. Where he falls down is when he has the ball at his feet, but he has improved slightly even there.

We still need an upgrade though and it's fairly clear Nuno thinks so too.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Whatever mistakes have happened (& there have been some from a number of players - it sounded as if it was Bennett's turn today) we are still way better off than we expected at the start of the season

 

[Derby Wolf]

If we beat Fulham next week Leicester need to win all three of their final fixtures against Chelsea, Man City and Chelsea to catch us.

Check out the blame game thread.
Even if youre right, and he makes as many mistakes as boly and coady (he doesnt), compare him to his partner boly- boly is much stronger, faster, better in the air, better passer, more technical, better tackler, capable of taking the ball up... and hes not even an international. The comparison would be van dyke and matip. We should be aiming for TWO central defenders better than boly if we aim to compete in europe, top six, and one day top 4.

Nobody disagrees with this.

They disagree with this.

Two better than Boly? I can only assume crack is cheap and freely available where you are?

So we've beaten albinos best ever premier league points total,and Jimenez is our leading premier league goal scorer,beating #headsgone fletcher,comfortably safe and have been for most of the season,good possibility of a summer trip to Kyrgyzstan for FK Osh away,and people are moaning about Bennetts mistake

 

[Boozad]

They're not very happy about it.

 

[b3h]

Eyes are on Bennett for a potential upgrade but that's nothing new is it. He's done amazingly well and surely will stop on even if we sign a new CB as he's part of a team about to finish 7th ish so will still have a part. Bad mistake today and was a bit shaky after it but they pulled through.

Thought Watford were going to do it 2nd half, Jota not letting that happen

Deserved result

And shows both teams fucked their biggest chances.

 

[big mean bunny]

Even if you lose both the next two we would finish having won more games than we lost. Which is actually an extremely rare thing outside the Super clubs. Burnley last year and Everton the year before the only two in the last two seasons, and then Leics, West Ham and Southampton the season before.
