“WOLTE-MADE IT LOOK EAZY!”
Both teams went into this game with nee wins in 3 attempts so far this season!
It woz vital that NUFC got a win under wor belts, but it woz Wolves who made the orly pressure, when from the kick off they raced doon the pitch towards the Gallowgate End and a shot from Gomez woz parried away by The Pope in The Toon goal and from the resulting corner Chan had a great shot saved by wor ‘man of the cloth’!
Not a great start, but we soon got into the groove when Jacob Murphy had a great shot which wizzed past the post not lang after at The Leazes End!
Murphy had another great shot blocked not lang after but Johnstone in the visitors goal made a great block! (Unfortunately!)
The one and anly goal of the game came in the 30th minute from record signin Nick Woltemade, when Murphy sent a great cross in from the right, for wor brand new 6foot 6 number 27 to rise above the Wanabeez defence to send an unstoppable bullet heeder past Johnstone, to put us 1-0 up!
The heeder reminded me of wor old number 9 Wyn Davies, who woz a brilliant heeder of the baall in hiz days in the 1960s! (Wyn sadly passed away a few weeks ago!)
Woltemade made most of the goal by celebrating wildly in from of The Leazes End, with hiz huge arms ootstretched in appreciation!
Sandro Tonali, who woz in brilliant form nearly doubled wor lead, bang on half time, when hiz shot hit the inside of the reet hand post, but the baall went agonisingly alang the goal line to safety! HT 1-0 to ‘us’!
The second period woz a very scrappy affair, with Bruno in particular losin possession on several occasions, but we couldn’t increase the lead against a very poor Wolves side!
Harvey Barnes had a great chance, but hiz shot flew ower the bar at The Gallowgate End!
Wolves tried in vain for an equaliser late on and went close a couple of times, but thankfully the clock ticked doon to the final whistle with 7 minutes stoppage time added!
A poor game for certain, but the win lifted us up from 17th place to 9th in the table (for the time being at least!) while The Wanabeez from Wolverhampton suffered their 4th defeat in a row and sit at the foot of the table! FT 1-0 to us!
It’s Barcelona next in Thorzday neet at SJP in the Champions Leegue!
If we play like that then we will be very lucky to come away with a draw!
Hopefully wor new number 9 Yoane Wissa will be in contention after missin oot on hiz debut yesterday through a knee injury while on International duty with DR Congo (However, rumour haz it that he may be oot for a few weeks at least?) (Az will Jacob Ramsey, who got injured at Leeedz)
It’s typical —isn’t it! Wissa woz hardly ever injured at Brentfaad, but az soon az he comes to NUFC he’s crocked withoot even kicking baall in anger for us!
Anly at The Toon!
Attendance: 52,145 (2,500 of so Wanabeez)
