Ya and we would have qualified for 2 more tournaments in the last 12 years.
how many times have we seen this? Wolves ahead on the 60 mark and then just play to try and keep it tight and sit back. Its actually very negative, ive watched an awful lot of wolves games this season, and it was one thing that annoyed me under mick when managing us that we would sit on a lead and invariably let the lead slip at the death.
If wolves do stay up mick needs a change in mindset for next season. I actually think it might be the reason for them going down.
Well its 92 mins now and there are 3 left to play.
Well done Wolves if they manage it
3 added minutes plus 2 for Ferguson, Doyle getting battered black and blue, - Wolves survive to win- just as some of us always knew they would.
Delighted for Mick, some win for them
No you didnt. You hoped they would. I stick by what I said though :pQuote:

Fantastic result for Wolves and Mick, wish I had put some money on it at half time but the odds were rubbish (6/4 Wolves win).
They defended like dogs but they were not the better side in the second half. They essentially seemed to put up shop and let United come at them, almost as if Trap was providing the tactics. Regardless, I'm happy for them and Mick.Quote:

Indeed it is, but when the posession is 70-30 its hard for me to call the team with 30 the better side.Quote:

BBC possession stats were 51% Man U 49% Wolves.
On the broadcast it showed 70-30, maybe just for the second half, the stream wasn't the greatest quality.Quote:

That was 2nd half only alright.Quote:

It was 56 44 in First half.to be honest i know how these things work and i wouldn't trust them.each broadcaster will differ slightly too.
Didn't see the 90 minute figure on ESPN, definitely said 30/70 for 2nd half with about 10 minutes to go though. In fairness Wolves had a bit of the ball after that till the end.Quote:
