Match Thread: Wolves vs Newcastle United
By Wolves
October 2 2021
Wolves fans will be especially keen today to see their team bring their way-winning form to Molineux and give them the first home win of the season against the Magpies
After achieving another away win at Southampton on Sunday, fans will be hoping to see our team bring a stop to the list of home losses already this season and establish the team in mid-table for now.
Newcastle have failed to win so far this season and, coupled wth the fact that several of their key players such as Callum Wilson and Jonjo Shelvey are out injured, today may be viewed as a ideal time to play them. However in recent seasons a win has not proved easy to achieve against them, with both of the last two home games finishing in a 1 - 1 draw.
Head Coach Bruno Lage has not declared any further injuries to the Wolves squad, but has said that Rayan Ait-Nouri is now available after his enforced concussion rest. Willy Boly is also clearly fit and available so it will be interesting to see whether Bruno decides to keep the same defence or possibly introduces a back four for this game.
Today's game kicks off at 3pm and will be officiated by Graham Scott with Andre Marriner on VAR duty
This board will attempt to provide regular updates on its progress and we will hope to be able to find a stream to do so which hasn't always proved possible recently. Members are also encouraged to post their own observations.

Wolves: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Marcal, Trincao, Jimenez, Hwang
Subs: Ruddy, Hoever, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Boly, Silva, Dendoncker, Traore, Cundle
Marcal keeps his place, Hwang and Trincao in but Boly, Donk and Traore on the bench




Newcastle have a catalogue of injuries so we have very few excuses today and need to take advantage. First home win is a must.
Hoping I can get a decent stream for this as I've hardly seen a ball kicked in the previous three matches.
Anyway, eyes down, we’ll be off in 5 minutes
By the way, does anybody have ‘alternative’ streaming options

Match off, everything crossed in driving rain, just like here in Devon



Wolves 1 Newcastle 0
Battling tackle from Jimenez and a beautiful through ball from him to Hwang who finished with aplomb from a very tough angle.
Brilliant 🤩

Moutinho soots on target from range but saved!!
Encouraging


Scruffy play at the back which Jose has to clear. Great tackle by Neves to set Chee free, he crosses and Trink smashes it against the bar!!
Instead of 2-0 it’s 1-1.
So frustrating

Wolves 1 Newcastle 1

Half time 1-1.
Utterly utterly frustrating we are not winning this.

We need another great Wolves second half performance in this game
Wolves 1 Newcastle 1
Raul really looking back to his best thankfully. Hee-Chan seems to have settled into this system extremely well.
Second half requires more of the same and I’m sure that we can squeeze a victory out of this soggy afternoon.
Off we go, second half attacking the South Bonk

Wolves 2 Utd 1
Hwang Hee Chan with another superb finish from another tough angle after some brilliant approach play by Jimenez.
Molineux erupts in chants with the tried and tested “oh Hwang Hee, Hwang Hee” song
Great to be in front after a testing first 15 minutes of the half with Toon possibly on top

My stream has gone!!
The commentator has picked up on a point that’s been frustrating me too. Far too often we get in advanced wide positions and just don’t get it in the box, instead sideways and backwards it goes. Maybe Traore could make a bit of a difference in the last 20 - to seal the match.
Unless the score has changed already …….. who knows anymore!

Stream went down for about 6-7 minutes. Still 2-1


Apparently Donk is coming on.
We have started to invite Newcastle attacks a little.
Stream gone - arrrg


We look nervy in defence in the last few minutes, retreating to the 18 yard line. High risk stuff to be honest but I think we’ll do it today

All over and we get our first home win of the season and second consecutive win for Bruno.
Thanks for the commentary again chaps and thank you Chesh for passing on another stream. Sadly, I tried it along with hesgoal and one other and got f00k all. I have a feeling that unless I can get along to Molineux I have seen my last match. The next noise you here is me shuffling off to the woods with a revolver in my hand.
Raul’s positive and unselfish work leading to the second was was absolutely commendable, but Hwang took both his goal impeccably from tight angles, and he is a very positive addition to our strike force.
Great afternoon for our home fans after the previous frustrations & let’s hope we can take this on to Villa park next Saturday
Wolves 2 Newcastle Utd 1
A bit of daylight between us and the lower part of the table which is heartening.
First home goals, first home win and it’s not 1-1 v Newcastle.
Once again, episodes of classy football, this time twice, have turned the match in our favour. Very happy with the with win lifts us up the table. Currently (but with other matches to go) we are 10th!!
Definitely not the ‘Bruno ball’ seen in the early matches of this season, in fact I’d say we were pretty negative at times in the second half, or at the very least let’s say unadventurous. Nevertheless a win is a win is a win. Not sure our tactics would have worked out against some other opposition. We also really need to sort out what our players are doing when they have chance to cross the ball. Semedo and Trincao both seeming more comfortable to pass it back than cross.
I sound a bit grumpy, I’m not, because the big positives about this performance was our front line and how they linked up so well - - by that I mean Hwang Hee Chan and Raul - good understanding there ….. perhaps the embryo of a very good partnership? Very impressed with HHC, not just for his finishing which today was excellent but also the way he puts himself about. Very good indeed and you don’t need to look much further for the MOTM.
9 points. That’s okay. Internationals again now, then Villa at Villa Park on 16th October. Looking forward to that!!
Great win, UTW!!
