Wolves banter 2

20 Apr 2024 20:28:35
Not a bad first half but it’s so obvious we have no outlet in the final third. Sa has also given me a heart attack on three separate occasions when passing it to Doyle when he had two men on him! Nothing to lose 2nd half. Let’s push on and frustrate them. Unlucky Gomez, would have scored on a different day.

20 Apr 2024 21:42:38
Far far better than I imagined we would be. As you say Vbwolf we obviously had little up front chirewa who I thought did well, was looking a couple of times but we wernt going to risk it. Some poor knocking around at the back and Sa always concerns with his taps around. Some good positioned saves and then let's his near post open at the end. 2-0 rather flattered them in the end. Better than expected, let's see what we can muster against bournmouth.

20 Apr 2024 11:27:38
Tonight is not going to be pretty so trying a old tactic as most times I bet on a team other than us winning they lose.
So going 9-0 to Arsenal, Saka first scorer, 3+ corners each half, 40+ booking points at 350/1

20 Apr 2024 15:10:49
Would have thought you'd get a wolves win for those odds rated lol. Seriously I'm getting more confident about a decent showing tonight anything would be a bonus, even only 3-0 would be a result. Hope your bet dosnt come off of course but if it did at least I'd be happy knowing you'd got the dosh. But COYW.

20 Apr 2024 20:24:08
Not too concerned after that first half, shame their sliced goal went in at the time it did but if we've got 30 mins of RAN sarabia and lemina I think we could get back into it. Arsenal do look tired. Chirewa doing well after early nerves. COYW

{Ed's Note - MK Scouser has posted a new article entitled, Will Jurgen Klopp Leave Liverpool On A Whimper?

19 Apr 2024 21:24:28
For next season, I think GON has already intermated that Mosquera is part of his plans. A couple of new strikers should also be coming in.

If any one player was allowed to leave for decent money, I would allow it to be Kilman. He's a good player but Dawson makes him look better.

Our midfield looks fine, but I think 1 new defender and 2 strikers are needed.

The money from the sales of Kilman, Doherty, Podence, Chiquinho, Guedes and Silva should provide us with the required funds.

20 Apr 2024 02:18:46
Many will dislike me saying this but I say cash in on Neto too if we can as we never get a full season out of him, sadly he is too injury prone.

20 Apr 2024 07:06:16
Is Hoever still officially on our books? He's another to consider

20 Apr 2024 07:15:38
Regarding Kilman, I have to agree, he was good or looked good when Coady was beside him too. When it was him and Collins they weren't a great partnership.

I agree on Jas's comment on Neto too, what's the point in a player with consistent injuries? Neto is a fantastic player, be he's just too injury prone. Plus we have his replacement in RAN.

We need strikers, that's painfully obvious. Cash in on Fabio Silva (no offence against the guy, but it just didn't work out, and I'd wish him all the best).
Sasa Kalajdzic is just too injury prone, he'll be back but for treatment, will be hard to cash in.
on him.

20 Apr 2024 07:50:00
I get all your posts. As usual
Hope our manager doesn't walk, due to lack of backing. Like others have
That's all
He has done brilliantly, but so did others.

20 Apr 2024 08:27:06
Neto I think is more difficult.

On his day, he is one of our best players and the one considered a shoo in to sell, however, as he's very rarely fit for long periods, who will buy him?

Would you pay top dollar for a car you know will always break down.

I would much rather Kilman leave as he can be replaced easier than Neto. Look how we've struggled without him.

20 Apr 2024 10:29:21
Well back to tonight, it's being suggested we'll be starting with 15yr old Okundo (sorry with spelling etc) not sure his position but I can't see us starting with him, good news story though. We've also got lembanksi (again sorry for the obvious) to come back to us next year. I think your spot on jas re Neto, although is somebody offered the millions it offset an awful lot. Kilman needs a mentor and with the right person to organise is very capable. Maybe being captain as been too much for him? It's the bleeding obvious again isn't it, striker/s and central defenders. If samedo leaves then maybe full back as well. It's going to be an interesting summer.
Tonight I fear will be a ordeal to watch but I live in hope of a decent performance no matter what. Dunno how rated will formulate a bet.

20 Apr 2024 15:21:12
I suspect if a better than expected offer came in, most players could be available, exceptions would be Cunha, Gomes and Lemina. Obviously the ability to replace anyone leaving is key.

20 Apr 2024 15:21:47
In addition to the player sales mentioned, we should sell this 'wonderkid' Enzo who we paid £5 Mill for. As I've said before if 15yr old kids are getting on the bench now before this guy, then IMO he's not going to make it at Wolves. Cash in and put it towards someone who will play.

20 Apr 2024 20:32:33
The thing with Neto is if he goes to a champs league team he will be part of a club that literally have two-3 players in each position. They will be able to manage his time better so they can pull him off after 65/70 mins and rest him if it is needed. We pretty much have to start him every game as he was one of only a few match winners that we have.

19 Apr 2024 16:34:26
We are going to struggle to put out a full team tomoz.no Cunha, no Semedo and no Dawson for rest of season!

19 Apr 2024 18:51:25
Going to be alternating night then nigelt. Either an embarrassing dismantling, a robust defensive display or a shock defeat of aesenal by an unknown and unexpected tactical brilliance by GON. I'm afraid I can only dream of the latter, but I'll remain positive in my support and will the lads on. COYW.

19 Apr 2024 20:03:00
Never known a season like this, all the good work done by GON and the squad undermined initially by the joke that is VAR and now injuries on an industrial scale.

The sooner it's over the better and it's no good thinking that a striker coming in the summer will suffice as the defence needs looking at as well. As expected our lack of strength in depth is hurting us, plus of course VAR is still costing us.

19 Apr 2024 20:47:40
10 senior players to put out
What a state we are in.
Good job we're not near bottom
It's an utter disgrace tbh
They don't deserve our continued
Support.
But as we are so passionate about our club, we keep on going to watch
Buy our shirts, come rain or shine thru thick and thin
Year after year
We all deserve better
Only hope next season is better
Let's hope so
Coyw

19 Apr 2024 21:44:50
Whoever goes out tomorrow in the old gold, especially the youngsters deserve our utmost support in the most intimidating of circumstances greyleg. It's not their fault they're slung in the very deep end.
The club have avoided putting us in danger of demotion this year and GONs worked wonders, now is not the time to desert due to unfortunate injuries, its damage limitation and GONs right to call on loyal supporters to get behind the lads. Come 10 pm tomorrow we may even be pleasantly surprised. COYW.

19 Apr 2024 21:48:01
I don't think you can blame the club for the injuries.

We do need more players but hopefully this will be addressed in the summer.

20 Apr 2024 07:02:45
Agree Jas.Shi's job is to secure funds for new players. Really hope he can deliver.

20 Apr 2024 11:18:22
So much doom and gloom, yes it's not good having so many players out, bit at the end of the day its been a decent season, we've missed Neto for more games than he has played and continued to get results, Cuhna and Hwangz injuries are the one shat have hurt us the most, up until the new year we were flying, I think start Hwang from the off and see how he goes, apart from Semedo missing g we have enough to compete, football is a funny game and the pressures on Arsenal, this is a free hit for us

19 Apr 2024 16:16:37
So we have no players for for tomorrow. Can’t help but see it will be a cricket score no matter how optimistic GON is.

20 Apr 2024 14:08:32
That'll be 356 for 8 declared then vb.

19 Apr 2024 16:16:19
From GON press conference Neto is out, Semedo is out, Cunha is out, Hwang only 45 tops. Bellegarde is out. Dawson has had his operation

19 Apr 2024 18:28:59
No attackers to score the goals and no organisational in defence to stop us conceding goals.

Against a wounded Arsenal with a point to prove after a dreadful week for them.

We might suffer a very heavy loss tomorrow.

19 Apr 2024 19:33:18
Please let the season end now! Thankfully we should be safe. I can't see anything other than finishing sub 13th. Sorry to be so pessimistic but our team's falling apart.

19 Apr 2024 11:34:35
We was a question in the final of the quiz show pointless yesterday tea time.
Managers of Wolverhampton Wanderers?

20 Apr 2024 09:33:43
I'd have said Ted Vizzard.

19 Apr 2024 08:07:55
No FA cup replays! Is nothing sacrosanct? Tail wagging the dog, yet again.

20 Apr 2024 07:50:58
You know the answer to that.
All to suit the big clubs to ease their Euro congestion and get the big money.
Disgusting, but what else to you expect.

19 Apr 2024 07:29:17
Podence versus the villa!

19 Apr 2024 08:08:22
Can't wait to count the dives!

19 Apr 2024 08:30:02
So villa get through with martinet pulling his antics to put off the pen takers and getting a second yellow card but can't be sent off in the shoot off. Forgetting it being the vile, is that fair, right and further ridicule decisions of VAR/refs and the game in general? That such behavior can go unpunished at such a crucial stage? It's hardly a deterrent to the behaviour is it especially when a player can be sent off for removing his shirt after scoring a 'special' goal.

Add on to that the FA cup is now to be one match rounds (so more shoot outs I'd imagine) denying the smaller clubs of potential financial income, even if replays would be between themselves let alone against 'big' named teams, and the final being played on the penultimate weekend ahead of the prem finale.

ItS plain to see that the money is tipping more and more towards the cartel of clubs dominating the TV channels and merchandise.

Being the old fogey I am, this seems to be another step to the departure from the 'game' I've loved over my years, sacrificing sport for financial gain, monopolising the top half of the premier league, and no doubt a departure to an exclusive Euro league as was tried on before.

Personally I feel like letting the '6' go. Retain a new EFL and get back to competition on a leveller playing field/s.

{Ed001's Note - he could have been sent off, that is not what happened. When it goes to a penalty shootout, cards are reset. So any players going into it on a yellow no longer have a yellow. If he had been booked again, then he would be sent off.}

19 Apr 2024 09:08:12
It would have been so much more fun though, Ed001, if he had been sent off!

{Ed001's Note - I agree, he is thoroughly detestable individual. Ridiculously overrated as well for such an average keeper.}

19 Apr 2024 10:11:33
Thanks Ed. I wasn't aware of that and nor it seems the sports report I got it from. Still unsportsmanlike cheating in my book. Maybe the threat of a straight red would have stopped it to begin with. Use to enjoy grobbelars jelly leg routine though!

{Ed001's Note - I am with you, the rules allow cheating and it does need to be stopped.}

19 Apr 2024 12:25:23
What's the betting that Martinez knew that cards were reset for the penalty shootout, so that he was free to continue his embarrassing antics. He has absolutely zero class.

{Ed001's Note - you would need to ask Ivan Toney for that.}

19 Apr 2024 15:20:45
Lol Ed001 that made me laugh ou loud.

{Ed001's Note - glad to hear that.}
