i cant believe the negative response blackpool are a good side we beat them on their own turf weve got to learn to celebrate a win in the right manner anybody who beats wolves in this division doesnt care about the way they play tony mowbray asked people to check the result after people questioned their penalty NUFF SAID !



Thank god for some common sense! Blackpool unbeaten in 7 games most goals scored apart from palace. Tom ince one of the most exciting young prospects I have seen for a long time and will no doubt be off to one of the top prem clubs in jan!

We defended well. Ikeme had a cracking game. Seb took his goals well and I thought Davis made a real difference when he came on. Yes we rode our luck but I like to think you make your own luck in this life.

2 testing games coming up, yes ones on paper we should win but both Peterborough and ipswich are fighting for their lives and are proving harder to beat.

Before you all start saying we should be beating the likes of Peterborough as we were a prem club. Ask yourself the last time wolves played like a prem club? In my humble opinion we looked like a championship club trying to survive in the prem. Now we have lost some of our stars and we are now rebuilding.

Lets enjoy the wins, enjoy bit of luck for a change and for god sake guys stop pointing out all the negatives! It really doesn't take a genius to see what our weaknesses are! So I am pretty sure ss and his team can see them too !

can i say that with davis henry sako n pennant last night i thought we looked the better side in the second half after the first 10 mins, we can get rid of stearman and get doherty back whos doing brill. + get rid of zubar and hunt and elokobi when he's fit, 3 players who wont play for us again and just draining the wage bill. Dont sell doyle or seb, doyle for the work rate and with the new wage increase with those 4 gone get danny graham or chris wood. seb will get goals, its the chances we give him, 2 goals from 4 or 5 chances isnt bad and we cant get rid of someone who is doing that on the cheap



Seb is not good enough.apart from his first goal he did nothing and the one he missed was terrible finishing.we need a striker who makes his presance felt for the whole game. {Ed001's Note - it took a huge bobble to be fair to the lad, was hardly terrible finishing.}

Really really good win last night, the way we played defensively was a brilliant team effort. There will be people saying we didnt look comfortable but I think we did; okay for long periods we couldn't hold onto the ball outside our half for long and blackpool certainly had more chances. But you could see we were playing to defend and we were good at it. I thought every player played there part and played it well. Il do some ratings:
Ikeme = 10 seriously was an unbelievable performance, commands his box brilliantly and people who say waynes the better shot stopper eat your words cause some of those diving saves were crazy.
Foley = 7 solid performance, a couple of times when he dilly-dallyed on the ball fir too long but looked strong.
Johnson = 8 let the ball bounce once or twice but was very commanding and defended strongly. They never looked like they had what it takes to break through our centre halves.
Berra = 7 like I said the centre halves were very strong and dominating so Berra really played his part, no clumsy mistake but seriously someone needs to tell him to stop holding, dragging and shirt pulling! I'm on edge with him every set piece!
Ward = 7 okay I agree that we need a new lb and ward is the weak link of defense, and last night he was the only defender making mistakes. This is why we need a new left back cause ward will do well for 20 mins but you can guarantee soon a mistake that will lead to a chance for them is coming. Having said that I'm giving him a decent score because he had to deal with Tom Ince all game and I thought he played him very smartly stood him up and pushed him out to the sidelines a number of times when Ince was looking dangerous. Also made a great last ditch tackle in the second half.
Pennant = 7 had a good game but was dissapointted not to see him try and take his man on more and sprint down the line. He's got attacking quality but looked a bit low on confidence. Good game though got stuck in and battles so fair play to him.
Henry = 8 he's so important... Made a few misplaced forward passes but mopped up in front of the defense with ease. I really don't know why some of you knock him last night he looked like the only player from both sides apart from Ikeme who's prem quality. composed and calm but a great fighter.. And last night wasn't even his at his best.
Doumbia = 7 did well some great tackles and good bursts forwards
Sako = 7 as usual good game won us the pen and terrorized there right sided defenders at times, was quiet for fairly long periods though
Doyle = 5 not a great night just didn't get involved to much, some good controls and passing but not to much creativity and attacking intent, was quiet. Hes been great lately tho so we'll forgive him.
Seb = 7 great first goal, great pen, really unlucky not to have a hat trick, but, if I'm being honest, apart from the goals and that one chance he really didn't look to sharp.. Didn't threaten them enough in between. Or am I being to harsh

Subs:
Forde = 4 hardly noticed he was On the pitch.. I love our youth players but I'm not a great fan of forde
Davis = 9 even though he was only on for 30 mins or so thought he challenged for our motm, was really impressed with him in the middle looked quality.
Stearman = 4 why bring him on

Really good defensive display but a few points.
1 wardy as a said was decent but new lb please.
2 attackers need to run at the defense more and try to create more chances.
3 if we want to play the passing game why doesn't solbakken tell his players to move off the ball quicker and more intelligently to create options for the player on the ball. Today Karl Henry a few times was looking to create some momentum on the ball but had a hold onto it for to long and then pass backwards. He gets slated for this but it's not his fault our players do not move for each other enough
4 why bring on stearman and put his in defence?!?! So basically we played really well at the back all game, on the way to a really well earned clean sheet, and with 5 mins to go you push foley up and put stearman in right back. WHY all it does is mess up the dynamic of the defense. IF IT'S NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT. we were fine as we were

Oh yeah and 5 tell Berra to mind his hands!

Still dead happy though great 3 points! Mikey



You must have been watching a different game to me? All I saw was a team constantly losing possession, creating no chances on goal and basically just kicking the ball up the park. It's very, very dull to watch, but for Ikeme last night we'd have got stuffed.

Very poor indeed.



Well don't forget we were away to Blackpool which isn't an easy game. Very poor. We won.
