I have seen people talking about protesting at the game and doing silly things like doing the Poznan for 45mins. But I just want to say if your going to come up with an idea of how to protest think about it first. You might be thinking he says that but he hasn't come up with anything. So I will come up with something, how about taking a vow of silence for 45 mins, or waving a white rag like they do in Spain to show discontent towards the board, or not buying anything from the stadium other than your tickets.

One thing I would like to see even though its not a protest as such is for everyone to take an arrow and point it at goal. I saw this German side FC Magdeburg do it after their team failed to score a goal for something like 500 and odd mins.

TDW

We score the occasional goal, we know where the net is, it's trying to get the ball to the strikers in a shooting position in the first place that's the problem! Instead of coming up with stupid ideas and copying things you've seen elsewhere try actually supporting the players we have!

It's already like a library at home games, so I doubt anyone would notice the silence lol.

What and doing the poznan for 45 mins is your idea? What are you 12? Did you see man citeh do it and think we should do that? Just in case you didn't know doing the poznan is a sign of unity that's why you huddle.

TDW {Ed011's Note - Also for 45 minutes, that would be pretty exhausting, if that was me I'd need at least a pie and a pint at half time haha after 45 minutes of that.

ED if we all jumped up and down for 45mins we'd be fitter than SEB lol {Ed001's Note - could be a good way to cut down on childhood obesity in England, just take them to a Wolves game!}

Empty seats for a game would make the point. but talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.

All people do on here is talk, never any actions behind their words - all mouth no trousers!

If that comment about all talk no trousers is aimed at me (I'm not too sure) well what do you expect? one person taking a white rag to a game is not enough people will think WTF is he standing here waving a rag for? and if I sit in silence on my own I'm afraid it will have no impact what's so ever. So unless your willing to join why say anything?

TDW

How the hell is pointing an arrow at the goal going to help our strikers who are already lacking in confidence? A wall of arrows will just crucify them. They need support not derision.

There are some serious rumours going around regarding Morgan, the Bridgemere group and where all the money has gone. Has anyone else heard them?

Woodbridge wolf

Just exactly what are the rumours?

He's asset rich but cash poor. some of his deals haven't gone the way he wanted leaving him with lots of shares when he thought they would leave him with lots of cash. So putting 2+2 together some people think he has used the football cash to keep other things going.

So it's all gone quiet over there. But there is a serious note and that is that agents are bleeding clubs dry. There has to be a better system. Sure players of limited intelligence levels need representation but the inflation of transfer fees also needs arresting. Who pays for all this - the fans who pay to go to the matches and those who watch on TV. Who gains, well yes the players who have short careers and need to look after themselves for the rest of their working lives, but essentially the leeches who earn their living by bleeding the players and the clubs dry. Soon, and it may be here already, the agents will determine which club is successful and which isn't. The playing field is not level, it isn't any more about who can develop talent, it is purely about who can afford to buy big and who can therefore milk the fans of their hard earned cash. This has to be wrong otherwise soon the only attendees of matches will be the prawn sandwhich brigade and the financial budget will burst. This was the working man's game and that is where it should return but currently it is a spoiled rich brat's bonanza at the expense of the real fan, lining the agents pocket and it should stop now. M&M should go with them. Sorry for the rant but the whole game is a disgrace!

How can anyone justify a footballer on 250,000 pounds a week it's immoral. brain surgeons are not on that and they save lives

After yesterday I am somewhat more hopeful. I know our full backs are useless (I'd play Doherty and Reckord) but other than that, I was extremely impressed with the new system. Sako and Tongo looked great going forwards. All it takes is one win. One win and that'll set us off and the confidence will come flooding back. I'm still confident we will finish mid table easy. The revival will start at Leeds.

We still seem to have Hammill on or books so why did he not even make the bench. He has a point to prove and he could provide the spark we need. Come on Dean, use your magic and sort him out. Still a chance to give him a go against his former club, Barnsley.

If he has upset most of the team he is just going to unsettle an already unsettled team.

Hammill as been loaned to our rivals barnsley don't now if played today do you now ed or any other fan

He was not in the squad against Blackpool, however Jason Scotland scored in a 2-1 win.

why can we not close down a basic principle of defending we make the opposition look like barcelona for gods sake deano get some energy in that team get them tighter and make them earn their corn

We all now the problem defence and ward started it again, backing off and backing off, before it was to late again. other than our poor defending for the 2 goals. I have to admit we played our best football 2nd half this season. if we can get a couple of loan players in with quality. I think we will be safe and start to get it right for next year. then hope the 2ms get the cheque book out for deano. can but hope
wolves for life.

Just hoping for some loans now

Think he will have to, or suffer the consequences do you agree wolves fans

Very disappointing window not unexpected. The Doyle enquiry from Celtic means he's gone in the summer and it wouldn't be a surprise if Sako was poached as well. We have shown no ambition at all, we didn't even get a LB in to cover a very dodgy Ward.
Last night to be fair was a much better performance but got to say that was a performance straight from the Solbakken/Lange handbook. they must be gutted.

Loan market an option for a lb I guess.

How was that performance odwn to solbakken at all? we created and apart from 2 counters where defenders with more confidence would have taken the yellow on the half way we looked reasonable solid against the side with both the best defensive and strike rate stats in the league. the football under deano is much better why can''t you admit solbakken wasn't any good? give the man credit with more performances like that we will get more points at home

In recent performances it's been grind and hoofball. With Doumbia back in the starting XI the team played a measured passing game ON THE DECK - something many people derided Solbakken for. Instead of panicking when they went 2-1 down they stuck to their guns and passed the ball around and really rattled Leicester. It would be interesting to know whether Saunders TOLD THEM to play like that, or they just reverted to what Solbakken tried to teach them (could this be Solbakken's imports trying to exert a spot of player power?). Whatever, they looked far more impressive than in their previous 3 games under Saunders. Maybe Saunders has twigged that playing the ball on the deck to another old gold shirt is a way of beating the opposition - if so hallelujah - but I suspect we may revert to goofball, and haven't gotaclue in the next few games.

To be fair I went on thursday and we did play some decent football

power in our hands, surly we got protest with banners of moxey and morgan out and chants to, its our club going down divsion 1, morgan moxey won't care they will jump ship, we the true supporters we got do somthink and don't worry about the other fans who say don't blame them they jus as deluded as morgan and moxey and would rather have beleif in them and allow us to go down, protests all the way sooner the better

Watched the game last night, pleasantly surprised how well we played. Should have got a draw against a team who I think will get promoted. Same players making the same mistakes cost us the game. Stand up Ward Foley Berra and Henry. Why are they still here?! They must have something on Moxey and/or Morgan.

Genuinely think we made a mistake getting rid of Solbakken. The good players last night were his signings. He went because he knew 50% of the team were no good and the 2 M's would not back him with money. The old guard knew this and would not play for him. The 2M's need to be made accountable for their two years of shocking management and lack of investment in the team! Agree with protest!

This is crazy talk.

I have met Steve Morgan he is nuts about Wolves just like all of us.

The team is in transition and can't be changed in a single transfer window. If players aren't doing well (Ward, Henry, Doyle, Berra etc) no one will want to buy them and therefore they remain. There is no sense in buying second rate players -anyone available in this window is likely an out of favour or out of form player.

I suggest that we support the players that are wearing the shirt and the owner -anti-protests will in my opinion be totally counter productive.

Cheer them on! -that is what supporters (by definition) are supposed to do afterall.

Wolves have one of the strongest squads in the division -the simple truth is that they have lost form - it will return! - we all saw signs of that last night.

No I agree you can't change everything in one window, it's very difficult especially when you refuse to spend any money!
The guy is a joke and a lyer, he wets our appetite by saying he will back the manager in the transfer market then doesn't. Wake up, there is a realistic opportunity that we could be a League 1 side next season. Don't you think if he was that nuts about the club he would have spent what is needed to give us the best possible chance like Fernandes has at QPR but not on the same scale. You say it's the fans who don't help. Morgan is a businessman and he should know that one really huge key to success in any business is motivation If he had appointed a manager who got the fans excited then that positivity would rub off on the players. Instead we got someone who wouldn't have been on 99% of people's short lists. That coupled with being
lied to for years about investment how can you blame the fans for protesting.
The only transition we are in at the moment is preparing for league 1.

Just how is the team in transition? This is more or less the same team that was playing premier league 3 and 2 years ago. Sorry so negative and not saying SM is not nuts about wolves - but he has made absalutely football suicide decisions in terms of the managerial ones - from getting rid of MM and not replacing him with a pedigree proven manager to letting the coachtake us down to the championship with a whimper. Appointing SS who told him exactly what the situsation was and a new era in footballing styles was to be adoptd (and ones for the future) and sacks him after 6 months? We are where we are on his watch and instruction - but his money his club - so who am I just a fan who will be there through think and thin

300k for ward why the hell didn't we sell he's so shat its unbelievable! Morgan moxey I hate you more Dailey I can see some protests coming very soon!

01 Feb 2013 11:11:28
As much as Ward is not up to much we are in trouble if he get's injured as we have no left back. Thanks Jez and Steve for backing DS when he stated weeks ago we need a left back.
You are both to blame for a current plight with bad decision after bad decision.
Good performance last night, Sako was on a different planet to anything else on the pitch and I dread an offer coming in for him in the summer cus we all know Jez's eyes light up when he sees pound signs.
GET MOXEY OUT.

Moxey is a complete disgrace. He must go now! Instead Morgan will pay him another £1m bonus for
f---ing the Wolverhampton public over again. OUT OUT OUT

01 Feb 2013 09:50:22
dean saunders 20/1 to get the sack stan james, wonder what price is for morgan to sell up and moxey to get the sack

01 Feb 2013 09:37:44
I for one am fed up with the spin that our management put on things, What we want is truth and positive leadership, not meaningless words and fodder for the media. Some home truths for consideration. We have a poor defence, no left back, forwards who are incapable of scoring, midfielders who create nothing, a Manager out of his depth, a board with no football knowledge or experience, frustrated fans and a club in decline. I can see no positives and the best the official site can offer is that we will be looking to loan players from next week, That my friends was always the plan, No ambition, No leadership, No hope,

Quick observation on last nights performance.

Firstly, Stephen Ward. Honestly, I reckon I could have made a better attempt at defending than he did last night, frankly he's p. poor and a massive weak link. O'Hara was shocking, I lost count of how many times he gave the ball away. Siggy looked lost, I don't know where he was supposed to be playing but I know there was never anyone wide right. The whole midfield are sadly lacking in ability and are way too slow.

Positives? Sako was brilliant, he's in a different league to the rest of the persons.

Ian C

Spot on m8

Both of thier goals were down to shocking defending - ward and barra are just poor defenders and neither should be playing. The second - where was Foley apart from leaving a rookie centre back on his own (who actually was the best defender) O'Hara is awaful and should leave or don't play him. Sako won't stay to play in league 1. We play about 20 yards too deep and allow opposition too much space which is the sign of a division one mamnger with no expereince at this level and exactly waht SS tried to stop with the decreased gap between forwards /midfield and defence - it is just simply heart breaking to watch a team who you love go so downhill and the owners / board are allowing it to happen with awful decisions.

O'hara just come back from long term injury he played well at home last week but players are always inconsisstent after injury give him time, ward yes is shocking rather play foley there and dochety right, doumbia played well I liked him playing just behind the striker, and ebanks blake is shocking as a striker who offers so little all game needs to score when he gets chances and he missed two sitters yesterday rather play cassidy or doyle.

01 Feb 2013 08:03:34
Good to see JOH back. Considering he is only a few games into his comeback I thought he played great. He could be the difference between staying up and being relegated.

He was crap last night gave the ball away then started blaming others

Dunno what game you were watching mate JOH has been shocking since he returned - thinks he's david beckham and looks for long passes which he makes about 10% of the time all others gives away possesion - he's a liability and agree will be the difference bewteen staying up and going down - keep him in and we will go down

He is fatter than SEB. He looked like he was running through treacle last night, and then when he hits a wayward pass he shouts at someone else. get rid.

01 Feb 2013 07:07:25
What I do t get 1mill for baptise 2. 5/3mill for Boyd get Jackson in on loan with view to permanent and look to anoth left back on loan I think that would of been some good deals and maybe it might of got some fans back onside thoughts but I finally understand why people slate moxey {Ed001's Note - Blackpool refused to talk to anyone regarding Baptiste, Oyston had dug his heels in as the player wants to leave. So I wouldn't include him as a potential signing, there were, if I remember correctly, 7 clubs in for him and none even got the chance to make an offer! Though I have to say that I don't remember Wolves amongst the list of interested parties, so I guess that does back up your point to a degree as well.}

01 Feb 2013 00:33:32
never listening roumar site again all crap, marlon king davies, collins, baptise, didn't have any all we had is a school kid from newport disgrace

The clue is in the title 'rumours' otherwise it would be a 'fact' site lol

Dean Saunders is prepared to play the waiting game when it comes to strengthening his Wolves squad in January.


how did that go for you deano

person thinking that might actually work

Waiting for what? Easier games in L1?

Dont mind waiting now to get team to challenge next year as long as we are safe and see improvement like last night best I've seen us play yet. 2nd half dominated mid. unlucky with late chances but what's worrying is those silly 2 mistakes in defence again by ward again and foley we have got to nip this in the bud. its gone on far to long and to be honest its getting rather boring keep saying it lets get behind deano and see if the 2ms back him next year. if not moxey must go next not manager.
