' Le Fondre's Disappointment '
4 October 2015
Striker felt he was all set to score
You need consistency in this league and if we can produce this on a regular basis we will be right up there"
“I’m loving it here, it took a bit of time to get fit and up to match sharpness with no pre-season but I am getting there.”
Adam Le Fondre has expressed his disappointment at being booked for simulation after feeling he should have been awarded a “ clear penalty” against Huddersfield this afternoon.
Le Fondre capitalised on a back pass and rounded Terriers’ keeper Jed Steer in the second half before there appeared to be contact, and the striker was upended before he could seize on the ball to try and score.
Head Coach Kenny Jackett said after the game that he had expected to see Wolves awarded the spot kick, and Le Fondre is also unhappy at suggestions that he would have dived when he was more concerned with finding the net.
“For me it’s a clear penalty,” said Le Fondre.
“I had read the backpass and was in on the keeper.
“I have gone around him and he has caught my trailing leg and I think the keeper’s reaction says it all - he knows he has caught me.
“I had an open goal and as a striker I am gutted I wasn’t able to finish the chance off.
"The ref’s decided to give me a yellow for it and I have just got to bounce back from the decision.
“The main thing is that we got the three points, it was a great win and that is all we can ask for.
“We played really well in the second half, got the ball moving, and when Macca (Kevin McDonald) is in this sort of form he can pick people out left, right and centre – we can all benefit from it.”
With Wolves having chalked up successive 3-0 victories and now unbeaten in four in the league, there are signs of Le Fondre’s forward partnership with Benik Afobe starting to pay dividends.
Not only that, but the team also playing with more cohesion and attacking threat.
“Benik is a really good player and I have got on the same wavelength as him,” says Le Fondre.
“It seems to be working really well with him and the ten and me in the nine and it’s a good partnership developing and we are enjoying playing together.
“If you would have said we could have got seven points out of nine at the start of the week we would have taken it – it’s a really good week.
“And that includes a couple of away games.
“You need consistency in this league and if we can produce this on a regular basis we will be right up there.
“We have got a squad good enough to do that and we are capable of it.
“I’m loving it here, it took a bit of time to get fit and up to match sharpness with no pre-season but I am getting there.”

As I posted in other thread, he was not touched by goalie! If anything he deliberately went into him! Was easy to go over him but like Mason last week he didn't, also it seems that refs are not falling for it as Chelsea same thing happened no pen! And its happened several times now in area players are getting booked as looking for pen rather than staying on feet about time cracked down on this.
