Wolves fans all say same thing about Black Country Derby FA Cup clash

Express & Star

Wolves dominated the opening stages of the game but found themselves behind when former defender Nathan Collins turned home from close range.  Nelson Semedo’s first goal in just over two years brought Wolves level, before Neal Maupay’s second half goal was given by VAR, to hand the Bees the lead.  Wolves once again had to come from behind and academy graduate striker Nathan Fraser stepped off the bench to score, as the game went to extra-time.  Brentford could have won it in with a big chance before Wolves won a penalty on the stroke of half-time, in extra-time.  Cunha stepped up and rifled it into the bottom corner and after surviving the final 15 minutes, Wolves headed into the fourth round

00:00 Well, it wasn't pretty was it? But we got there, got there in the end.

00:05 But essentially, like, needs to improve really on that for West Brom.

00:10 We know what West Brom are like and we know what it's like playing them.

00:14 So I think we need to improve the quality a little bit there and move that forwards really.

00:19 So what did you make of that?

00:20 I thought we played reasonably well. It was hard fought and we showed a lot of character.

00:25 Do you know what I mean? To come back from 1-0 down, 2-1 down and then win 3-2, it was hard.

00:30 Do you feel they should have killed the game off earlier, shouldn't they really?

00:33 Yeah, we should have done but it's hard isn't it? And it's Wolves.

00:35 They're going to kick you on your toes all the time and that's what it's all about.

00:38 Keep us on our toes. We can't wait for the Albion.

00:41 It was a back and forth game, wasn't it? But Wolves should have really finished that game off earlier, shouldn't they?

00:46 Definitely, yeah. And I kind of feel like maybe Mario should have started, Pedro should have started.

00:52 Maybe tried to see the game out before we got to a position where we were kind of struggling.

00:57 Positives though, some of our Nathan Fraser coming on and scoring for you.

01:01 Yeah, he did really, really well. Great goal. I think he nearly got a second as well.

01:05 But yeah, really good from the young lad so hopefully you see a bit more of that from him.

01:09 Absolutely, positives tonight. Look, obviously Nathan Fraser came off the bench, scored a really important goal, didn't he?

01:13 Yeah, and he took that really well. I mean, we were standing right behind him when he struck it and he struck it like he meant it.

01:18 And he could have had a second goal as well because he struck that well as well. So it was good.

01:22 You know, so there's some really good things going on tonight. I thought Kilman played well as well tonight.

01:26 Did well, did really well.

01:27 What do you think about the Black Country derby then?

01:29 Oh, well, looking forward to that one. It's been a while.

01:32 So yeah, 100% going to be looking forward to that game and hopefully we do win this time.

01:38 Fancy chances?

01:39 Yeah, we'll do win this time. We're in better form and I think if we can...

01:45 I think the lads will understand that they need to come out and really be at their best.

01:48 So we'll get a result, I'm pretty confident.

01:51 Black Country derby, what do you make of it?

01:52 Oh, I can't wait. Absolutely can't wait. It's been a long time coming, innit?

01:57 And I think there's everybody in there tonight was just willing us to get over the line so we would be playing the Albion.

02:03 Fancy chances?

02:04 I do, yeah, definitely. I think we're in for a run. Do you know what I mean?

02:08 We showed a lot of character, you know, away against them. We struggled but we got through with 10 men.

02:15 We've done the baggies!

02:16 We'll do well, we'll do well. We'll beat them, no problem at all.
