Three brilliant goals confirm potency of new Blues attack

Should still win though

Beto is shit when it's played to feet so has to be the thinking.

Looking at that team, I have to agree with Robert. But I also think we can win the game

Pace in Barry and Dibbling from the bench against tiring legs isn't a bad option either.

Bar Branthwaite, I'd think most blues would pick that side as their first choice.

And any quick break is likely to result in the ball bouncing off Beto. He looks fast and strong when given the chance to run onto a ball but otherwise he reduces the team to 10 men.

His name is Dibling (only one letter B).

He does dribbling (that has two Bs).

Get it right, fer fuck's sake!

Always tough away, would be nice to get a win on the road in the bag early in the season. COYB!!

This gane has goals in it, no way a nil nil draw. Two two draw for me. Now back to me song, what's his name, Dubing, drubbing? I'll ask Micheal. He's good at speling.😁

Betto!!! Var?

Plenty of Bs for you MK.

Check your own spelling fer errors 😀

But good summary of first half..

When we got men forward again we got the second as we look a lot more dangerous when Wolves can't put 2 or 3 players on Grealish or Ndiaye..

Dewsbury-Hall in particular but also Gana and Garner need to lift their games and we still seem to play set pieces to Tarkowski beyond the back post.

A bit untidy at times but much improved.

Plus that excellent 1-2 that set up Grealish for a shot — but he had to lift it over the keeper from there.

Jack Grealish with another assist. We need to concentrate, don't get carried away. Keep our structure and don't go all gung ho.

That's what happens when you have creative players who can pick and execute forward passes. KDH and Grealish linking up twice with maximum effect.

Defence got caught for the Wolves goal. Went deep after that giving Wolves too much space.

Really have to engage higher up the pitch in the second half.

Grealish has 4 already.

I’m gonna need new underwear… 💦

5th now.

It never is until the final whistle blows.

Agree: sign Grealish and get working on it now!

Wolves are not a top side, yet we conceded two goals.

Now go and sign a fucking right-back and build on this.

We still need someone with real pace and a centre-forward who can trap a ball.

Good win, but boy do we make hard work of things…

In Moyes we trust, welcome home Dithering Dour Davey.

Ndiaye was given offside which he was when the ball was played forward but it then struck a Wolves defender and I always thought that, as the last man to play the ball, he played Ndiaye onside.

Then Dewsbury-Hall with a magnificent finish looked to seal the game until we dropped back and allowed Wolves a second with slack defending by several players.

I also wondered about subbing Ndiaye and Grealish as they were the two players capable of holding the ball up but we got home in the end.

Just seen that disallowed Fulham goal, what an absolute showeat bunch are.

Grealish has been just fantastic for us to date, he is real quality in many aspects of the game – let's all hope he keeps it up.

I think Coleman should have been on sooner – we definitely need a decent right back – if we can't get a player that will make a difference, then okay… but it should be a priority!

Next couple of league games will be huge tests for Moyes and this squad — dare to dream! COYB.

I'm happy that Jack is overlooked for the moment, would rather he stay fit and focused for us – if he keeps this up, he'll be in the England setup again soon enough.

Tarkowski is off the boil, Branthwaite really missed, no one tracking the centre of midfield runners.

A really good win but the best thing was that the players looked as though they were really enjoying it. What a difference Grealish is.

However, what magic he weaves and I have always said he makes players commit and things happen.

Moyes has to consider what to do with this back four.

I don't like heavyweights especially on a wet surface.

What they need is a class sweeper like Jagielka.

The current back line is all at sea sometimes and could have cost us a game we were clearly the better in.

Alan J #89, no, the ball hitting a defender isn't the same thing as him 'playing' the ball, and so it doesn't change the position. It was a clear offside.

Poor goals conceded making for a nervous finish. Awareness from Mykolenko on the second was really poor mind.

7 games v 3 games

21 shots on target = 7 goals; 8 shots on target = 5 goals

Is this the same club as 12 months ago???

Literally cannot wait for Villa two weeks today.

UTFT!!!!!

Some of our performance today was reminiscent of 1977 and 78, à la Dobson and Thomas, we were just short of a Latchford. It was a game we should aspire to winning 1-5, but we have weaknesses in defence which told, and may catch us out in the coming weeks without reinforcement.

For now, though, well done Blues, made up for everyone who travelled.

But some of our forward play in the 1st half was sublime. For some strange reason, we then started to sit back and invited pressure from Wolves.

Garner was my MoTM, he was terrific in breaking up play and getting the ball forward. Followed closely by KDH, Grealish and Ndiaye. Things are suddenly looking a lot better. Well done to Moyes and the owners.

It is possible Ake would be available and he would be ideal, also covers LCB if Jarrod is out. There are numerous RB possibilities, Maitland Niles, Fisher, Martinez (who Arsenal are in for but he won't get game time with them) or even Munoz who might be interested in the project shaping up. Or even one of plethora of RB's at our friends Roma.

But luckily, Moyes wasn't buying it while others splashed tens of millions on inferior players.

Wouldn't surprise me given how dodgy we looked at other times (certainly after each time we conceded). Mykolenko for the second was crap, but I guess he's likely to be rusty.

He misses Branthwaite a lot does Tarkowski.

So slow when turned around towards his own goal.

People are saying we're desperate for a righ-back... very true, but I think we're desperate for a goalscoring centre-forward as well.

That doesn't mean writing off Mykolenko. He makes a very decent back-up, maybe even first choice against the better sides. But he is pretty ordinary (to be kind) going forward.

Less than 2 weeks ago you wrote

“This isn't going to better any time soon, so we are going to have to suck it up. This season is going to be another long hard slog with probably a bottom 7 or 8 finish.
Anyone thinking we could be challenging for Europe is living on another planet, pre-season and last night's debacle proved that. The worrying thing for me last night was that our players didn't look fit, they looked jaded after 30 minutes.“

Today you write:

“The job the manager has done since he returned, nothing short of miraculous — that's gonna stick in the craw of a few on here.

In Moyes we trust, welcome home Dithering Dour Davey.“

Dibling still to come too. Exciting times coming back.

We've got a few weeks rest now till the Villa game. A couple more signings before Monday night and I really feel confident for this season. COYB

Yeah, with Dibling in the mix, suddenly we have options on the bench. Meaning Ndiaye, Grealish and Co cannot slack off. Last season, we didn't have options, so the likes of Harrison and McNeil kept their places – wind, rain or shine.

The summer clear-out in terms of numbers wasn't as impactful as has been suggested since half the released players were injured, out on loan, or just lost causes. So in effect, lack of quantity was a problem last season as well as this.

Now, we have made some steps in addressing that while obviously we have greatly improved the quality.

Love watching them now. Hated it last season.

Up to now, one of the best players I've seen in a blue shirt.

I think we're better off the way we are.

Okay, he wasn't great today, but let's not write him off completely.

It was a quality ball played in for their equaliser. Maybe Mykolenko was caught out of position but, at the end of the day, it was a good bit of quality from their right midfielder.

Mykolenko was also on his heels for their 2nd; if we had lost or drawn that game, I would be furious with him.

We do need 2 quality full-backs, I am sure Moyes also knows that. For a big lad, O'Brien isn't the bravest and offers little going forward.

I enjoyed the link-up play around their box today, calm minds making good decisions. Even Beto gets some credit for the dummy for our 2nd.

James Garner was my MotM today – he was everywhere tidying up. Not sure we need another holding midfielder.

Earlier in the day Fulham conceded a penalty given by VAR. Gana shoots, it hits the lad on the arm: no penalty. The refs are so inconsistent.

Good week for the Blues. Shame the international break is here.

I feel the same! I think the last time I did that, I made my dad cry because his name was longer than my shirt!

Kanchelskis?? Nope. Still can't spell his name! 😂

After the Leeds debacle, I was well and truly down, a shocking night and one I couldn't see it getting any better.

But, and I will say this in my defence and it is an excuse, I'd had a few when I posted that.

Admitted that's no excuse for my scurrilous behaviour, so I hope you accept my wholeheartedly apology for coming out with such drivel.

Yes, 1st half against Brighton we rode our luck, but today we should have run away with it.

Andrew, once again, my apologies.

Does anyone know how to permanently remove the video captions? Today's classic samples include "Willerman and Diall the gold scorer, Ken and Juicy Hall the provider".

This owl arse would greatly appreciate any tech help to permanently remove them from all future videos. Ta.

I do wish Moyes would stop playing these flair players. Doesn't he know of his reputation?

At our best we're going to be very exciting. What an incredible turnaround with a few transfers.

Moyes has transformed our team in less than a year. Not just the results but the style of play and level of player. He’s a good manager of that there’s no doubt. We’ll still lose some more games this season, I just hope a degree of perspective and realism is displayed by us all when we do lose. Moyes will make mistakes but he’ll get it right more often than not.

Anyway, have a good evening and we can enjoy MOTD AGAIN!

I’ve said since he arrived he’s one of the worst players I’ve ever seen arrive for decent money.

Things are improving slowly.

We have needed two pacey wing backs for years now, and I know I keep looping that one.,.

But that's the past, today is the now, and wow, if we cant celebrate that, what the hell should we do...

We are building the best squad in ages, playing some very engaging entertaining football, I am very happy tonight and I expect most are, celebrate blues!
