When our 19 year old left back does that - well - I won’t tell you what happened - but I’m in the spare bed tonight! That was ridiculous from Lowe, deffo a future star if he can stay fit!

thelovebelow Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Bloody hell, I love our style of play now. Let's give Lampard a 10 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank so excited that he can hardly get his words out fast enough. You know, I think I’m going to play this interview whenever I’m fed up. Be it work, my sons, the Mrs, whatever, play this and I’ll just snap out of it, I’m sure. I really think we’ve cracked getting Frank Lampard in, what a positive influence he’s going to be. ?

I thought he was good today, he had much more of a testing game than against Southampton, and he came through it well enough. Lowe did have a couple of times where he got himself the wrong side or showed some naivety but honestly I didn’t care. What the lad did do far outweighed any minor slip-ups or lapses in judgement. Some lovely skill at times. Thats kind of my outlook on the youth in this team; they’ll make mistakes but they’ll also excite us. Let ‘em make the mistakes. Its only when it’s players who don’t offer anything other than “experience” that get the basics wrong that it gets frustrating. Lots and lots to look forward to this season.

He's been very slick in interviews, and said all the right things, but he's a pro at that and it felt a little PR. In this interview you can tell how excited and happy he is to be here- absolutely buzzing and clearly cannot wait to get the season going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only when it’s players who don’t offer anything other than “experience” that get the basics wrong that it gets frustrating. Lots and lots to look forward to this season. I think we probably need to temper our expectations on Lowe just a little bit. Given his age, and the type of player he is, I suspect he's going to have a few absolute stinkers this season, where he ends up costing us goals (plural). But I think he'll do more than enough going forward to outweigh that over the full season. Hopefully the attacking football will give the players a bit more breathing room to make mistakes without the fans getting on their backs too. If we lost a game last season, there was literally nothing else to get excited about, so it was straight to moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Frank is clearly a very bright boy. Jody is a master tactician. What a pairing. Hats off to all the staff. Basically an unrecognisable team form last season. We would have stood a good chance of winning the play offs if we had played like we did today.

Going to go out on a limb here, but I think he's the best pure defensive midfielder (as opposed to deep laying playmaker) in the championship. This. No matter how tight the situation is he will ALWAYS show for the ball, that is brave for a man of his technical ability. If he had the stickiness and quick feet of a Simon Dawkins he would be underpinning a Champions League midfield no doubt. Top top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a tweet from one of their die-hards yesterday, saying something along the lines of: ”worried that there aren’t enough goals in this side to guarantee automatics, think we should go 4-4-2” They still haven’t been managed by GR in a competitive game. They are set for an interesting autumn I suspect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofmidnight Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just got back from the match - had to do some food shopping on the way back! Can't believe people complaining about Lowe. We thought he was immense and can only get better. In fact everyone played play both off and on the ball. So much more entertaining than last year's boring offerings and it was great to see Bryson back putting in a really good shift. Wolves fans very vocal boasting we're in the premiership. Well on today's showing there didn't look a league's difference between the sides. Well done Frank for remotivating our team and using our youngsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edtheram Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just listened to Clements post match reaction to Reading 0-4 Palace. I'm sure he was drunk and I don't know what they put in the water down there but he looks rough. Anyway, he was stating that they have played some "top" teams but didn't mention that they haven't won a single pre season game. He then said "Palace are quality and are a top 10 Prem side" - he lost all credibility after that statement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got no dislike for Clement but he seems to like the glamour of being a manager and not the actual dirt work. I'm sure he loves an interview and a nice suit. His lack of interest in scouting opponents, his random transfer strategy... does he really want to spend time developing players and helping them understand how to operate as a unit? I kinda think no. Remember being sat in the South Stand watching our left side (Shackell, Warnock, Johnson and Russell) get pressed back because none of them could pass while teams would lay off the right half (Keogh, Cyrus, Ince, Butterfield) because they might expose small gaps. You could see it clearly and yet Clement didn't do anything about it. I think he's interested in being in amongst the elite and doesn't show this level much respect.
