Given that we are showing the game on Clarets + I’ll not do any updates.

Has benson had an injury? Is that why he’s involved in this game?

No idea on Benson. Must admit I was surprised to see his name on the team sheet.

Wolves bossing it

Niggly lot, these Wolves lads.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:25 pm

Great effort, Benson.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:26 pm

Poor back pass. Casper initially saves but Wolves score.

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:27 pm

Benson hits bar with 25yd free kick wolves next attack poor defensive back pass and we are down 0-1

This is mirroring the Premier League - Men against boys ,do we need to try the DL’s model and only sign players over 6 feet tall?

Petersa · Post by **Petersa** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:31 pm

Any ideas who the trialist is?

E Clarke, according to flashscore, Scottish.
At Aberdeen

Presuming the 3-4-3 / 5-2-3 formation is purposely done to mirror first team. The young lads look like they are struggling with it and Wolves physicality.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:42 pm

Wolves players are like bees round a honeypot when Benny gets the ball.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:43 pm

Lucky not to see red then for a second booking.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:44 pm

McCoy could have been sent off there. Lucky not to get a second yellow.

Our midfield is very poor.

Very poor is harsh. They are young, have stepped up a level and probably playing in a formation they aren’t use to. It will take time. Bauress and Mcdermott are huge losses in the centre of midfield at this level.
But they do need to get more confident on the ball / passing.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 7:52 pm

I like the right back Blackie. He looks a tidy player.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:23 pm

Great ball that from Clarke, as soon as he came on.

Been watching bits of it ,since Benson went off we have been much better ,haven’t had the commentary on but a tall lad with ginger hair looking good and a small black lad ( Hope that’s ok ) has replaced Benson and he looks rapid.

Holmechapel · Post by **Holmechapel** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:32 pm

1-1 Mellon

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:32 pm

Brilliant ball AGAIN by Clarke.
Mellon scores!!
1-1

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:33 pm

Tidy finish and play that

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:34 pm

I'd get that lad from Aberdeen signed, if we've not already.
Can pick a pass, can't he.

Holmechapel · Post by **Holmechapel** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:53 pm

2-1 down

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:53 pm

Turned from an attempt at possession based to a long-ball team. It didn't work.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:54 pm

Lost 2-1.
Some decent showing from the lads, against apparently, a good side at this level.

Claretnick · Post by **Claretnick** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 8:56 pm

I thought the lads played well, especially 2nd half when first subs came on

Jakubs Tash · Post by **Jakubs Tash** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 9:00 pm

Our lads were struggling as a team to keep the ball when playing out from the back. Probably a mixture of a lack of being drilled to where they should be and a lack of fitness. They couldn’t keep the ball after they equalised and the result was they couldn’t get out of their own third retaining possession and they were constantly defending the turnover of play.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Mon Aug 18, 2025 9:01 pm

The new lad, Clark, looks to have something.
McMahon-Brown is terrific for his age.
