00:00It was a very disappointing performance, especially the second half to let Brighton manage the game
00:04for 15-20 minutes, they only put on the pressure, but then it felt like after that offside goal
00:08we just sort of lost a bit of composure, a bad mistake to give away the penalty straight after
00:12and then just sort of snowballed from there really.
00:14Yeah, God's sake, Eddard's obviously had the two best chances, I think, like you say, in those first 15 minutes
00:18but after that went off the boil. Were you surprised to see him in the side today?
00:21Yeah, I thought to be honest, if Larson wasn't going to be in there, probably an unchanged team
00:25or, you know, maybe Saravia comes in instead, but I don't think he had to see a bad game
00:30but I think he's nearly dabbled on the ball too much around the back
00:33and didn't be quick enough for anybody up front to have any impacts around Larson when he came on
00:37was still a bit struggling for any real ball time.
00:40What do you think, a bit of flat today?
00:42I thought we played well, I thought we played really well first half, had a lot of good chances
00:45didn't quite run for us sometimes, but a good side, brighter, worse for Europe, and played well.
00:52Gonzalo Geddes brought into the side today, were you surprised at that?
00:55A little bit surprised, yeah, especially because he's probably going at the end of the season as well
00:59so, quite surprised really.
01:01We just couldn't get the ball, Stan Larson, I don't even think Stan Larson got a touch.
01:06I was watching it outside on my phone, I just, I had to turn it off, it was that bad.
01:12Yeah.
01:12I was so angry.
01:14Yeah, they didn't really do the basics for today, did they? They didn't pass the ball particularly well.
01:17Yeah, it felt like every time he's sort of broke as well, he seemed to break to one of their legs
01:20and it just seemed that every time, with every tackle, just didn't quite go for us
01:24and you're just chasing, yeah, chasing the game when they're managing possession well.
01:28Peterborough said that the likes of Brighton, Brentford and Palace are where you want to compete next season.
01:32Is this just a bit of a reminder that they have got work to do in the summer?
01:36Yeah, I don't think that's been any doubt anyway, even with the six wins in a row,
01:39but at the same time, I just think it's just one bad game, we're stopping at it today
01:42and I think you've just got to try and respond in the next game.
01:45We were a bit lively after the subs, I think they played well, started really well, high press.
01:51Surprised that Cuny and Gomes aren't off really, not quite sure why there.
01:56Normally Aiton already goes off, but I thought Aiton had a good game.
01:59Disappointing to give the penalty away though, so soon after the VAR.
02:02Disappointing, yeah, really disappointing, well before he scores against us anyway.
02:05We never really do well against Brighton.
02:08Brighton, one of the teams that Wolves will want to be aiming to compete with next season,
02:13so was this a reminder that they've still got work to do?
02:15A little bit, but I thought with the run of the ball, we could have got a couple of goals there easily.
02:18We had really good chances first half before they scored, and I thought maybe we want to see goals early on.
02:24Vita just got a whole ahead of himself.
02:27Were you surprised to see Gonzalo get his start today?
02:30Yeah, very.
02:31Who would you have liked to see instead?
02:34Strand-Narson starting, because when he starts, he's just so good.
02:39And Cuny off the boil as well?
02:41Cuny is just too big for his boots.
02:46After his name's linked with Man United, he's just going up, up, up.
02:50He thinks he's the best player in the world.
02:52Would you like to see him start the last two games, or do you think that it may be time for him to bench
02:57if he's going to be leaving at the end of the season?
02:59I think he should just be on the bed for the rest of the season.
03:02He just can't deliver.
03:04What do you want to see in the last two games of the season?
03:06I think, as Pereira said, players earning their spots, not necessarily just token gestures
03:10of the players in the starting line-up.
03:12I think there's maybe arguments over Cuny being brought off today.
03:16If he is going to be going, then do you maybe give somebody else a run
03:19to get that good feeling for next season, hit the ground running, etc.
03:22But, again, as long as it's on merit, then...
03:24All right, then, I love you.
