Re: Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)
Season opener sees Toon over Wolves
Geremi's header dissapoints Molineaux faithful
Johnson Peoples, wolves.co.uk
The first match of the season was hosted by Molineaux Stadium, home of the Wolves, and Molineaux witnessed the first defeat of the season - hopefully not to be a common reoccurence, especially to the likes of Newcastle.
Newcastle stole points from Wolves thanks to an 85th minute strike by Geremi - an unlikely scorer for the club, however he has been known for scoring game winners often.
The goals did come rapidly for Wolves this time around - unlike last season where it took almost 5 matches before a goal was scored for the season. Andy Keogh quickly regained his form that made him MVP for on week after scoring a hat trick.
Keogh scored back to back goals, responding to the go ahead goal by Islero - and then the quick "recovery" goal by Alan Smith thanks to a well crafted pass from Marlon Harewood.
It was apparent the pace of the match would be dictated by Newcastle, the quality of passes and ball movement was much stronger for the black and white - and the yellow filled stadium grew weary at 2-2, almost impatient for the final whistle to blow.
Owen Coyle replaced an underperforming Lam Matteo for Matt Jarvis, Matteo had his chances in front of goal - but a left footed shot in the first half flew wide of the goal - and other than that, the American was forced to defend rather than attack - not his strongest suit.
The loss, while disheartening, produced some decision making for Owen Coyle in the next match against Birmingham City.
"Well played match, they dominated possession - but we also did not give in so easily. The winning goal was a shame to give up however. Obviously you want to win in front of your faithful followers, but it is a long season - and we have plenty of time to adjust."

Tough Start
No goals, no assist, plenty of time
Matteo did not play great - but then again he was well contained from his old side - defender Callum Morris - did well on the left back position.
"I am never a fan of being subbed - this time it hurt because it was the opener. I did the best I could, but honestly should have taken a stronger mental approach to finishing today."
