'We were miles off it today!' Wolves fans on Brighton defeat

Express & Star

Transcript

00:00It was a very disappointing performance, especially the second half to let Brighton manage the game

00:04for 15-20 minutes, they only put on the pressure, but then it felt like after that offside goal

00:08we just sort of lost a bit of composure, a bad mistake to give away the penalty straight after

00:12and then just sort of snowballed from there really.

00:14Yeah, God's sake, Eddard's obviously had the two best chances, I think, like you say, in those first 15 minutes

00:18but after that went off the boil. Were you surprised to see him in the side today?

00:21Yeah, I thought to be honest, if Larson wasn't going to be in there, probably an unchanged team

00:25or, you know, maybe Saravia comes in instead, but I don't think he had to see a bad game

00:30but I think he's nearly dabbled on the ball too much around the back

00:33and didn't be quick enough for anybody up front to have any impacts around Larson when he came on

00:37was still a bit struggling for any real ball time.

00:40What do you think, a bit of flat today?

00:42I thought we played well, I thought we played really well first half, had a lot of good chances

00:45didn't quite run for us sometimes, but a good side, brighter, worse for Europe, and played well.

00:52Gonzalo Geddes brought into the side today, were you surprised at that?

00:55A little bit surprised, yeah, especially because he's probably going at the end of the season as well

00:59so, quite surprised really.

01:01We just couldn't get the ball, Stan Larson, I don't even think Stan Larson got a touch.

01:06I was watching it outside on my phone, I just, I had to turn it off, it was that bad.

01:12Yeah.

01:12I was so angry.

01:14Yeah, they didn't really do the basics for today, did they? They didn't pass the ball particularly well.

01:17Yeah, it felt like every time he's sort of broke as well, he seemed to break to one of their legs

01:20and it just seemed that every time, with every tackle, just didn't quite go for us

01:24and you're just chasing, yeah, chasing the game when they're managing possession well.

01:28Peterborough said that the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Palace are where you want to compete next season.

01:32Is this just a bit of a reminder that they have got work to do in the summer?

01:36Yeah, I don't think that's been any doubt anyway, even with the six wins in a row,

01:39but at the same time, I just think it's just one bad game, we're stopping at it today

01:42and I think you've just got to try and respond in the next game.

01:45We were a bit lively after the subs, I think they played well, started really well, high press.

01:51Surprised that Cuny and Gomes aren't off really, not quite sure why there.

01:56Normally Aiton already goes off, but I thought Aiton had a good game.

01:59Disappointing to give the penalty away though, so soon after the VAR.

02:02Disappointing, yeah, really disappointing, well before he scores against us anyway.

02:05We never really do well against Brighton.

02:08Brighton, one of the teams that Wolves will want to be aiming to compete with next season,

02:13so was this a reminder that they've still got work to do?

02:15A little bit, but I thought with the run of the ball, we could have got a couple of goals there easily.

02:18We had really good chances first half before they scored, and I thought maybe we want to see goals early on.

02:24Vita just got a whole ahead of himself.

02:27Were you surprised to see Gonzalo get his start today?

02:30Yeah, very.

02:31Who would you have liked to see instead?

02:34Strand-Narson starting, because when he starts, he's just so good.

02:39And Cuny off the boil as well?

02:41Cuny is just too big for his boots.

02:46After his name's linked with Man United, he's just going up, up, up.

02:50He thinks he's the best player in the world.

02:52Would you like to see him start the last two games, or do you think that it may be time for him to bench

02:57if he's going to be leaving at the end of the season?

02:59I think he should just be on the bed for the rest of the season.

03:02He just can't deliver.

03:04What do you want to see in the last two games of the season?

03:06I think, as Pereira said, players earning their spots, not necessarily just token gestures

03:10of the players in the starting line-up.

03:12I think there's maybe arguments over Cuny being brought off today.

03:16If he is going to be going, then do you maybe give somebody else a run

03:19to get that good feeling for next season, hit the ground running, etc.

03:22But, again, as long as it's on merit, then...

03:24All right, then, I love you.
