BrenTford 1-0 SHAKHTAR DONETSK

No showers, get a T. Played the T off the park, get a red card and concede late on.

We know we're the shittest team in the tournament but this result is enough to question ones self worth.

Wolves went into this game with a certain degree of confidence after the draw with Prem high flyers Manchester City. As it turned out that confidence was a little misplaced and would probably be better classed as overconfidence. Tactically Wolves were out thought and the players on the field out played for most of this game. The writing was on the wall very early as Sporting came out of the blocks very fast and scored in the first minute of the game before a Wolves player even touched the ball. Two more first half goals followed that for the visitors to put the game to bed as a contest. Before Raphinha book ended the half scoring with the last kick of the first half to put the icing well and truly on the cake and effectively end the game as any sort of contest. Not a great first half for keeper Aaron Ramsdale, but it has to be said he wasn’t helped or protected at all by the players in front of him. To be fair to the Wolves players they came out and performed better in the second half, but it was all too little far too late. Matheus Cunha scored a decent consolation goal, but it was never going to be anything more than that and the home crowd were left wondering what planet he was on as he belly slid into the corner in a celebration display that felt very awkward and embarrassing for all concerned. Only upside for Wolves was the continued good form being shown by young Ivory Coast midfielder Chaka Traore who rated up his passing skills in this game. Overall, the better side won, and it sets up the next games in this cup competition nicely. The table sees Lens unbeaten at the top with Wolves and Sporting Lisbon level on points in second and only separated by goal difference. Poor Fulham are the team languishing at the bottom without a point at this early stage in the competition.

Well played Jason, you deserved the win.

The next game for Wolves sees them return to league action with a tough visit to Elland Road and a match up with Tim Davey’s Leeds United team. Both managers can choose from fully fit squads for this one so no excuses for either side.

Burnley 1 - 1 Marseille

Marseille are a top side and one of the favourites for the DBC winners, currently sitting 8 in the EFL table. We didn´t expect an easy match and clearly we were right. The game didn´t start well for us as Marseille opened the scoreline four minutes after the starting whistle. We were pushing for an equalizer and managed to get it by the half time. During the second half we were the more dangerous side dominating the possession and creating a number of chances. However, we were not able to convert the chances into shots on target and the scoreline didn´t chance during the second half.

Played James.
