Match Thread V Birmingham City (H, 24/02/17)
By Badge32
February 24 2017
The Blue Noses venture into Wolverhampton looking to win for the first time since an FA Cup win back in January 2012. You need to back 3 more years for a League loss to Blues at home. Wolves have a good run against Brum losing just one of the last seven meetings home and away.
Match Facts
Wolves have lost only once in their last nine meetings with rivals Birmingham City in league competition (W5 D3 L1).
Birmingham have not won a league game at Molineux since November 2009, losing two and drawing two since then.
Wolves have lost their last three league games in a row - they have not lost four in succession since December 2014.
In fact, Wolves have won the same number of FA Cup games in 2017 (W2 D0 L1) as they have league matches (W2 D1 L4).
Since Gianfranco Zola was appointed manager of Birmingham City on 14 December 2016, the Blues have won just six points from a possible 36 available (W1 D3 L8).
Wolves have played Birmingham once before on the 24th Feb. It was back in 1962 with Wolves winning 2-1. 29,662 saw Wharton And McParland score the winning goals.

Lamberks footballing strategy seems to be hoof it forward to big daddy who hasnt scored since Christ was in his manger..the answer?
Lamberk = out
Fosun = out
Players ... get rid of them all to non league pub outfits where they belong
Find Ronko, string him up by his balls for designing the wolfs head , slowly torture the b.astard for the years of subsequent misery cursing us and then reform the club on holy ground with spiritual water splashed on each corner flag with the new club logo a wolfs head in a crucifix design.
If all of the above doesn't work , probably time to call it a day as I'm out of ideas.

Nothing up front, can only see dangerous sneaking a goal. Apart from that no hope

Like Angry has just said it is hoofball, we seem incapable of playing the ball on the ground with the exception of Costa.
Very poor so far.

Fosun = plenty of money + no idea about football
Been playing way to deep, at home to a struggling team, makes no sense. Bod like the new Doyle, lots of effort no goals

A dreadful match so far. Brum are poor but we're rubbish!! I agree the only option seems to be to hoof it up front. Weimann is struggling to get into the game & they are managing any threat Costa might offer. Price is trying and but Savill is missing!

Even costa has been poor. Our deliveries have been shocking.

There is no player who seems to be able to put his foot on the ball and pick a telling pass. Time for Bright to step up and become that player.
And now the joy of the second half.

I don't understand Zola taking N'Sue off - he's been very effective

Home to Huddersfield
Away to Reading
Away to Ipswich
I struggle to see us getting anything out of our next three matches, by which time we'll probably be in the bottom 3!!

Terrible stuff, kick and rush football, no shape and devoid of any passing flow. Ikeme had no excuse for that howler.
What a terrible game of football! The players have to look at themselves and If Lambert was sacked tomorrow I would have no gripe!
