Manchester United v Wolves - 8pm- 14/08/23 - Official Match Thread

All pundits and fans forgot we didn't get a single decision from February until the f.a cup final last season for punishment for a correct offside decision in the derby

Do EtH's teams traditionally start the season slowly? Is it part of the plan to have the team under cooked so they come to boil at the right point in the season?

Or are we just a bit shit.

31 years ago we started a bit slowly

We were, quite literally, cheated out of a point against Brighton earlier this year.

Who remembers, still less cares? Even amongst our own fans??

They didn't even have that many shots on target

Not really disagreeing with the latter part mind.

Only one other team can go down with Luton and Sheffield United though, so they could get lucky.

Tbh, that derby goal should never have stood but who cares.

Genuinely don’t think that was a pen yesterday though. A coming together of two players who didn’t get to the ball.

Not sure if it's been posted already but this was Dermot "Its definitely a penalty to Wolves" Gallagher on exactly the same type of incident, between Wolves and Leeds last season. The United Tax is strong.

You are easily pleased.

Especially since "saves" covers a great variety of things.

it covers shots on target. some of them were lame. more (not saved) were off target. but that's kind of the point that was being made. wolves could/should have scored several times. we relied on poor finishing by other teams last season too. it's not pretty and it work work against better teams. even richarlison and son will beast us.
