Stan 11,726 Posted October 23, 2020 Kick-off 16.30 (GMT) Live Sky Sports VS Head to Head Record Wolves - 40 Draws - 26 Newcastle - 32 Last Meeting 11/01/2020 - Wolves 1-1 Newcastle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyBruce Championship 3,060 Posted October 24, 2020 Both our games against Wolves away in the last 2 years have been 1-1 draws. Surprisingly as well as Wolves have done they're not what I'd call our krytonite. That makes this a decent test to gage where we are and where we might be heading or capable of heading.

Dan 1,433 Posted October 24, 2020 Wolves do struggle against very defensive sides. If Wolves played themselves it would probably take 6 meetings for there to be a goal and even that'd be Ruben Neves from 40 yards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 11,726 Posted October 25, 2020 How many strikers go back to the edge of the box from a set-piece and bang in a shot like that . Good goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 11,726 Posted October 25, 2020 1-1! Murphy curls a free-kick round the wall. Patricio should do better I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 1,433 Posted October 25, 2020 That is a terrible goal to concede. Steve Bruce's luck incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devil-Dick Willie 2,006 Posted October 25, 2020 If Bremen conceded an equalizer like that after dominating like that I'd call my Sunderland mates to go punch some newcastle horses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 1,433 Posted October 26, 2020 Newcastle's ability to nick an undeserved draw is beyond all logic. I'd be seething if I was Wolves conceding that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you deduct the points we didn't deserve last season we'd have been relegated. Same again this year coming. Toon! Toon! Black & White Shithouse! Still got people darn sarf thinking we're playing much better football these days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inverted 1,405 Posted October 26, 2020 To be honest, tactically, I don't see a huge difference between Wolves and Newcastle. Wolves just have their Mendes connection, so they can do it with much better and more entertaining players than most 5-4-1 shithouse sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves always look more impressive against the bigger sides, for whatever reason. It's probably a motivational issue, tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's more that their style of play is to sit deep with a back 5 and 4 across midfield, and then hope somebody gives Jimenez, Neto, and Podence space to run into. They're weird in that they're tactically set-up to play against more talented sides, and yet talent-wise they are pretty stacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
