Although I believe that Newcastle where there for the Taking, but not going to grumble at a point, 3rd in the League (At the moment) and still UNBEATEN in the League and Carling Cup, more than the Tesco down the road can say.

So UTW and to you moaners, this might cheer you up, on Talk Sport today they were talking about Javis for England

I’m not one to slag off referees but this was probably as bad a performance by the ref than Uriah Rennies back in our ill fated first season in the prem. He lost control of the game, gave decisions based which team shouted the loudest and missed clear cut decision for both sides including a foul on Smith and Henry.

I didn’t see if it was penalty but was assured by someone who saw it on the screen it ‘was a stonewaller’ i’ll accept that those things happen, I’ll even accept the odd bad decision but to consistantly produce poor decision after poor decision in what was a physical encounter but by no mean dirty should be reviewed by The Premier League.

Good luck to Newcastle, good side, great midfield I won’t even mention them with relegation candidates but unfortunately was should have been a game against two passionate supported side was ruined by a ref out his depth. Don’t send him to The Championship or League One, get him back to school. This was no professional performance.

The ref was awful. Jarvis should have won a penalty kick for us. The ref is a goofy!

Went the match

The Ref was bullied by the newcastle player and at times it was newcastle who seemed to ref the match.

And the only tackle what was a defo yellow- possibly red card from that thug barton on Jelle went unpunished.

Nolan didnt stop complianing all match, at times runing 30 yards to challange the ref who was like a little school kid being bullied by the bigger boys….

… BUT, were STILL unbeaten despite playing 12 men today.

Stuart Attwell might aswell of been in a newcastle shirt.

If i was Mick, id put an official complaint into the F.A as that ref should be punished for having no control of the game.

thank god i don’t have to watch a Newcastle Stoke game

.. agree with above. We were lucky to escape with a point today.
Unlike Toon we don’t seem to have gameplan. We looked like Stoke most of the game playing hardball and hoofing the ball up the field. Although the ref had a bad game we can’t blame him for creating nothing. Henry and Wardy kept us in the game.. Jones, Jarvis, Doyle were below par so nothing was going on up front.
But wasn’t it a great taken goal from SEB, reminded me of his first from the legendary game at the Valley.
Still a point on our way to survival !

Wolves,,the home side, should have won this match, one of the easier games on paper for them o face this season.
Not having Fletcher in the side was a great disappointment.and hope and pray we can pickup another striker in the next days

Just watched on MOD and was a gutsy performance, especially from Karl Henry. He really got stuck in which is what we need. Brilliant goal by SEB and although it looked like a fair result, we should of had a penalty for sure. Best position we’ve been in for well over 35 years and lets hope we can keep this up!

Report abuse

Good point and we’re still unbeaten this season. I think we may need some decent defenders if we want to improve on last season’s position. Berra is a bit of a worry at times hence our shortcomings at the back.

Cracker from SEB although he didn’t get a mention on MOTD. The boy is back.

Watched a rerun of the game this evening. Once again we started slowly and Newcastle were easily the better side in the first 20 minutes.

Credit to the lads to getting back into the game but I am still a little disturbed by our lack of creativity in the midfield and our persistent use of long,high balls. We just look average when we resort to these tactics. Work rate and honest endeavour will only take you so far in this League. When we keep the passes shorter and on the ground we look a much better, talented team.

Ebanks-Blake took his goal well and, hopefully, it is a signal that more goals are forthcoming this season. However, I felt Doyle was not up to much in this game and Jarvis took a long time to have any real influence on events. Most definitely, Jarvis should have got a penalty but the Referee was clearly out of his depth – too many stoppages and some really poor calls on his part. However, that said, what the heck was Henry doing today? Some of his tackles were downright stupid.

Instead of trying to sign a donkey like Caleb Folan ( hopefully a rumor!!!) why not spend some money on a more creative midfield player? Hopefully, some of our injured players will be available soon.

Good entertainment, spoiled by a twit of a ref.
Never thought it would be easy as they have still got a solid premier backbone, I am glad we got stuck in as they tried to bully us all over he park.
Why no penalty only the guy in the middle can tell us that and I hoe the FA look at this performance.

Battling performance and well worth the point. Denied nailed-on penalty by whistle-happy ref, defence still a worry. Karl Henry is surely the best available English defensive midfield player?

Not a pretty game, but a well deserved point. The match could have gone either way to be fair, but we really can’t complain about the start to the season we’ve had. With the form the next 3 teams we have to play (Fulham, Spurs and Villa) I think we can do well there as well. If we can pick up another 5 points at least in those fixtures, then I will start to getting (Dare I say it) positive of a solid midtable finish for us!
And not only should Jarvis get a mention for an England call up, what about Sylvan and Henry? Glad to see Sylvan back on top form again and if you need a solid defensive midfielder to break up play, Henry is proving his worth there. It’s no wonder other teams had been sniffing around him, despite some naysayers that can’t see the important role he plays for the club… It’s hard to see how Mancienne will fit in to the team at the minute.
Jelle has down well with his crossing contributions, but once we get Hunt and Kightly fit, I think we will so many attacking options that will see his banging in a few more goals.
Up the Wolves!

atwell a joke calls him self a prem ref what a joke apart from him wolves played well on way back to northampton yesterday going down m6 radio 5 and talk sport was on about carrol and jarvis playing for england what do other wolves fans think should jarvo get call up.

Best post came from #32. He saw the game spot on. Henry for England? Rubbish. He is a gritty plodder who lacks imagination, pace and talent for the game at a higher level. He is tough and can be a sparkplug for us at times, so I have no problem with him most of the time, but to imagine him playing for England? Ridiculous. We would certainly benefit from a more creative midfielder who could control the game through pace and passing ability. Sure, bring on Messi! :-)
It was such a shame to have been subjected to this refeeering abomination. Clearly out of his depth. We do need to get our points at home from the bottom 10. We need to come out and play as we did against Stoke, being offensive and trying to control the ball. The first 20 minutes of the past two games have been relegation quality. We need better.
Having said that, 2 points from the the past two games, given how we played, is a good result.

Atwell should be dropped from the Referees list.That was a stonewall penalty but he chickened out and allowed Newcastle to bully him.Now,mick,you have to sort your defence out too much lack of concentration at crucial moments and you know very well that you still need a good central defender and a good striker.Keane knows where the back of the net is and would probably come if only on loan for the season.O`Hara is another who has an eye for a goal.Don`t let Moxey kid you that there is no money left you`ve only spent £18m.you need to be quick or we will go back to last seasons struggle and we have had a better start this season don`t let Moxey ruin it.

1) Referee really REALLY screwed this one up – but will no doubt get away with it as the useless FA sit on their Ars*s and do nothing about it. Completely failed to let the game flow, and was too easily pressured by Newcastles players.
2) Don’t mind Andy Carrol, but didn’t see anything spectacular out there from him.
3) Did not like some of the diving tactics used by Newcastle – suprised if their fans put up with boring/ bland style of football.
4) Was Doyle actually offside – haven’t seen replays yet!?
5) Video technology needed. Once again, we’ll see the smaller teams in the league finish the season with about half the number of penalties awarded to the top 6.
6) Not a bad start to the season – keep it going lads. UTW

Pleasedto get a point but we were poor in mid-field, Henry was lucky he ws not sent off. He does lack vision and his distribution to the forwards is poor.
MM lost us the game when he sent on Zuba he was out of position all the time whereas Foley was stopping Newcastles attacks down his flank. I also don’t see how he can bring on a player and expect him to perform miracles in 10 mins ie Fletcher.
Jarvis is inefective when he has Ward beghind him because he does not get any service. Im sorry but Ward is not a premiership player bring in Mancienne.
My mate left 5 mins early because he thought ATTWELL might start give cards to the supporters.

First of all, I like to wish big Matt Murray all the best with his future, i suspect coaching will be his next line of work ideally with Wolves, such a shame with injuries and what promised a great career, but there’s no doubt retirement was unfortunately the most likely out come. So good luck Matt.

Now, the game, a bit of a throw back to a 70′s or 80′s combatitive nature of football. Both sides were at it, so I was surprised no one got sent off, I can’t quite remember the Barton challenge on Van Damme and I haven’t seen it on TV, MOTD highlighted Wolves’ worse tackles and Henry made a shocker on Barton which from the Steve Bull upper view didn’t look so bad until the TV highlights. Despite the blood and thunder, Newcastle started off the better side and overall had the better chances, Carroll was the best player on the pitch, still physical but his movement was great, decent touch, hold up play and the plenty of energy. He had our back four rattled, Hahnemann tipped over his header in the first half, guilty of wasting an great chance before Wolves took the lead. Glad to see him off in the second half.

The first half performance wasn’t great from Wolves, again creativity was non existent until after 20 minutes when Blake hit the post with a header and fair play to the guy, I doubted him last season and how well he made his goal was excellent. Great first touch to set the ball and even better strike, however he had no service really from the full 90. Jarvis couldn’t get involved in a attacking sense and even slightly worrying Newcastle looked to have the more quality in their ranks, yes Barton is no saint but he created most of the good play that Newcsatle had. An excellent free kick with a great header from Carroll, Hahnemann was the more busier goal keeper, a great save to stop Nolan on the volley and there was Ward also to save the day as a dipping head looked to hitting the net until Wardy intervened.

I looked at the result as a point gained rather two dropped, we can’t afford to have sloppy openings against the sides who have the more firepower, every game so far wolves started as a team half sleep, David Jones wasn’t doing much, no at all in fact, Paul Franks on WM defending him by saying ‘it wasn’t the game for him’ what a rubbish excuse the tough match did not stop the Toon playing and creating opportunities. Maybe he’s on orders to sit too deep and this is worrying for the rest of season as speculation in the sunday morning papers suggest that Milijias might out the door, so any team who stop Jarvo can cut Wolves service supply to the strikers. Looks like goals will be hard to come by again for the reason of the lack of creativity.

Our defence might also not get away with being so easily cut apart, Routledge got through with ease in the opening minutes, Hahnemann in no-mands-land and fancifully the winger didn’t find another black and white striped player to net the goal. So, although it looks rosy on the league table, we need to improve for next run of games. We will most likely fall down gradually but there things in the side that worry me or am I just going over the top? We should be okay but I think this team could do better than this workmanlike style.

REALLY?

As usual, Wolves are playing against the referee in addition to the opposition. When we were in the Premiership with Dave Jones, that season we were awarded not one penalty from the first to the last match. Saturday appears to have started in the same way. Imagine if that had been Rooney going down in the penalty area at Old Trafford. The ref would have been pointing to the spot before he hit he floor.

Mick McCarthy needs to be more forceful in his approach to incompetent officialdom like we saw on Saturday. He is far too accepting. Fergusson would have been ranting in the Sunday papers after that display.

I’m afraid Wolves don’t find favour with officials and it costs points. In addition, we don’t find favour with the media. Two weeks running we have been last on Match of the Day. Obviously not important enough. London clubs appear to be the only ones playing in the Premiership.

Sorry don’t know what happened there!!

I posted it before I’d before I finished.

In the end it was a decent point, they come with their tales up & the ref did his best to make sure they stayed that way, the national press keep banging on about the treatment of Barton, what about all the unpunished fouls on Doyle for the 1st 15 mins, attwell the Geordie caused most of the problems in the, he was way out of his depth on Saturday & don’t even get me started on the penalty, he should be relieved of his duties where reffing pro football is concerned, but the fa will do nothing as usual, they’re just a joke only interested in collecting money & fining clubs outside the top 6!!!!!

Here endeth the rant.

Overall really happy with the start, given our injuries.
