Tuchel sacked and Potter expected to be given the job. Always rated Potter, will be great to see what he can do at a big club.

Not going to Chelsea then, Bully's. Johny come latelies.


2.) 09 Sep 2022 00:51:58
As usual I would have to agree with you there Old. I have no love for Chelsea to be honest, BUT I do like seeing a talented homegrown manager actually getting a chance at a 'big' club. It amazes me how the so called 'top four' consistently cheery pick the best managers from across the continents whilst going out of there way to ignore the applications of home grown candidates just because they have only succeeded at (so called) 'smaller' clubs! ?


3.) 09 Sep 2022 08:05:22
Well at long last we have two quality successors to Southgate, Howe and Potter, watch your back Gareth.

So now the top six clubs have actually come up with mandate to allow them to actually run the entire league?! I very rarely agree with the FA but if this goes through it will be a very bad thing for fairness within our game! Part of the proposals actually show that you wouldn't need a voting majority across the league any more, just between the six biggest clubs. That's fair then 🤮.

The Premier League seem to be against this too. I wonder then, if the big 6 insisted on driving this proposal forward, would the other 14 PL teams consider quitting the PL and organising a new league structure without the greedy 6 leaving them to arrange their European Super League.


2.) 11 Oct 2020 22:01:27
I read it was 9 clubs but that still isn't fair everyone in the league should have equal voting rights.


3.) 11 Oct 2020 22:09:46
Just realised I said the FA, not sure where they stand to be honest. Your right Jas it's the Prem that have come out agaisnt it. And nope Window (from what I gather) 9 clubs would get voting rights but effectively a motion could still pass (like extra subs) with just the backing of the top six clubs! It's disgraceful, Fenway Sports Group basically want to return Prem footy to a fuedal system, where only those with money get any power! 😡.


4.) 11 Oct 2020 22:32:50
I really hope the big 6 are successful and are able to take all the power. I also hope that the moment they do, the other 14 PL and 72 EFL clubs come together and form a new league. No one will want to join the big 6 clubs as they will not qualify for European competition as they're not affiliated to a national league. Their only hope will be a European League which will take a few years as other leagues need to negotiate their top teams to leave/ participate. Then there the question of how the poor fans are paying to watch the teams. Travelling from say Liverpool to Southampton is a lot cheaper than travelling to Madrid. As I say, I hope it happens.


5.) 12 Oct 2020 00:28:06
Who made them the big 6?


6.) 12 Oct 2020 07:15:23
They made themselves it.


7.) 12 Oct 2020 09:06:54
It would be interesting to see what the big 6 ordinary real fans think about these proposals.
Have you ed's seen anything on this matter on the big 6 fans sites?

{Ed002's Note - It has not come from the "top six". This all comes from the growth potential of Liverpool now flattening out – the owners would like to find a way to squeeze more out – and that is the reason that they have the support of Manchester United.}


8.) 12 Oct 2020 10:48:54
To me the new PL proposals are outrageous. It seems to come from the Liverpool American owners and is falsely presented in part as a rescue package. Long term they are trying to consolidate the big clubs into a cartel. the main reason to reduce the PL to 18 clubs is to have fewer Pl matches, and to delay the start of the season in order to have friendlies. It doesn't take much to work out that the friendlies will be between the usual suspects, the so-called top six! Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Reject this insidious plan.


9.) 12 Oct 2020 11:00:21
Travelling to games? Actually going to any game would be a start! The FA run the England team so they could put their oar in and state that no player in a breakaway team could play for England.


10.) 12 Oct 2020 10:04:50
Thanks for the info Ed002.👍.


11.) 12 Oct 2020 13:23:05
Project self importance or Project I'm alright Jack!

Would any potential break away, as mentioned by some then invite Celtic and Rangers? Just a thought.


12.) 12 Oct 2020 13:42:40
If you look at US sport they are pretty much all a closed shop the NFL being a prime example. Not really surprising that this has come from US owners. If they could stop relegation I suspect that they would.


13.) 12 Oct 2020 13:10:19
ED002, if the new PL proposals get approved, parachute payments will be stopped. This will weaken the relegated teams. It may also create a permanent under-class of teams at the bottom of the PL, going up and down between the two divisions.

{Ed002's Note - They will indeed be stopped. It is there to try and boost the income of Liverpool and to some extent Manchester United because the growth potential has flattened out - nothing else. The Liverpool owners are investors and would need to get out and invest elsewhere where there is more growth potential if the value of Liverpool is stagnating or growing slowly.}


14.) 12 Oct 2020 14:44:06
The fa Cup has slowly losing its appeal.
Like when I was growing up the fa Cup final the programme started roughly 10 in the morning and built up to 3 o'clock kickoff. You don't see that anymore I would hate the premier league to go a similar way.
Football is our community what our dad's bought us up on and fans no matter how good or successful their clubs are should always remain like a heritage listed building.
My 2 pennith.


15.) 12 Oct 2020 15:26:23
Phil the Premier League and the 2 million or so extra per each successive finish place has certainly devalued both cup competitions but the Champions League and scrapping of the Cup Winners Cup has also been a factor.


16.) 12 Oct 2020 16:03:38
I think versions of this type of proposal have been lurking for a while. Foreign investors in UK football clubs often have little concern for football's history in this country, and how important it is that every club's supporters have hope that one day they will be the best in the land. Running a closed shop of franchises has no place in the UK. Let the top 6 clear off and play their European mates, and let's keep a league that is open to merit and skill, and within fan's affordability when playing away.


17.) 12 Oct 2020 16:51:48
Agree Arddunby my thinking was if the big 6 leave or and no promotion what's the point of all the other clubs.
I feel fortunate my dad was born in Wolverhampton not say like Accrington or Burton as if he was I would of been a Burton or an Accrington Stanley fan.
FWAW.

20.) 12 Oct 2020 22:02:29
I can't help but feel this has just been created with an actual eye on the 'European Super League' that has been banded about for a decade or so. Kind of a toe our line else we are off to create our own league. If that is the case then I agree with Jas, let um go. I accept it would massively devalue our league but to be honest I'd sooner support Wolves back in the Champ than bow down to a fuedal Prem league system, where we get no say and are at the whims of the self selected 'big clubs'!, 😡.


21.) 13 Oct 2020 22:48:46
And yes Gregg Clarke has now come out and confirmed that he left proceedings in Spring when a potiential ultimatum was mentioned! Let's call this what it is folks, cause Fenway want these six clubs to be the major share holders for the ENTIRE league! It's a coup on the Prem, plain and simple! Orchestrated by Fenway whilst the other clubs watch on in the hope for higher potiential yields! Parry makes me sick, of COURSE lower league clubs will support it! Cause they are fighting for survival and frankly it won't affect the vast majority in the current owners life time! For the first time it may actually be useful that the FA can quash such things. Although I suspect it won't be that simple, think things are going to get nasty! 😭.


22.) 14 Oct 2020 21:41:36
I think you are right BullysBoyII this is a step closer to a European super League if not now then in maybe 3 years time when the big clubs in Spain Italy France Germany might want to break away although I don't know if that will happen in every country

Scrapping the League Cup is a good idea.


 

 

07 Sep 2020 19:08:32
Is it just me or is anyone else finding the players being mentioned to be a bit odd?! Most are top players but most are either strikers or wingers, for me (since Fabio) those two positions are about the only place we don't need numbers?! I would expect to be seeing cm's and rb/ cb's cause that's what we need most but none are being mentioned? Who knows, still a LONG way to go in this window! 🐺.

1.) 07 Sep 2020 19:20:46
i agree, can't help but believe there is a winger on the way. baited breath.


2.) 07 Sep 2020 19:42:09
I thought the same bullys. Like you, I’m sure, I am impressed with the incoming players so far but I too thought that a ball carrying cm and further wing backs / centre backs would have been our immediate area of concern. Like you say. Long way to go and they do keep surprising me and pulling rabbits out of hats 👍.


3.) 07 Sep 2020 20:27:41
Looks like the ball carrying midfielder has been sorted Bigbird.


4.) 07 Sep 2020 20:42:54
I put that reply up and then looked at banter page! Lmao. They hang on my every word you know!
Messi next please fellas ( worth a try 😂😂)

Brilliant if happens. Exciting player.


5.) 07 Sep 2020 22:19:07
My very first post on here said we needed LWB, CB, eventual replacement for Moutinho and immediate part time back up for Jimenez
you could argue the 3 guys we have acquired do all of those things.
Silva is hopefully more than back up for Jimenez but certainly makes us less reliant on him. The latest chap Vitor is the creative midfielder, ( if he is as good as Santi Carzola that will be a bonus), that can be eased in over the next year or so as Moutinho is eventually eased out and the other chap is meant to be able to cover both left sided defensive positions.
However due to the disposal of Doherty we now need a new RB - surely we aren't going to play Traore there. Not only does it waste his attacking talents - massive by the way - but he is also not a very good defender!


6.) 08 Sep 2020 12:27:42
Midfield wise don't forget we also have Shabani, he's another prospect.


7.) 08 Sep 2020 14:10:18
Nuno. ES I've just read that Shabani may be going. Though it's in a newspaper so it must be true!


8.) 08 Sep 2020 16:10:52
I could see him going out on loan to the Champ cause that's a pretty awful injury and coming straight into the Prem from that would be a big ask for anyone! Not sure we'd sell him yet mind cause it would be at a loss and they clearly rate him 👍.


9.) 08 Sep 2020 16:35:37
BullysBoy agreed terrible injury. I read that Claudio Ranieri was interested, maybe a loan who knows!


 

 

26 Jul 2020 20:01:32
Well that's pretty much the worst possible end to the season! The FA should be ashamed of there use of VAR, it's robbed us of Europe but worse its robbed Bournemouth of Prem footy possibly financial stability! Just SO wrong! 😡.

BullysBoy II

1.) 27 Jul 2020 01:26:42
VAR has been nothing but a shambles this season. It cost Wolves (to my knowledge) 5 points (Leicester, Burnley and Liverpool - Leicester and Burnley four points denied winning goals and an equalizer against Liverpool, If I’ve missed any please correct me) .

I was all all for VAR but it’s been a poor show this season. Not just for Wolves.


2.) 27 Jul 2020 11:45:52
Reg VAR and this is just from an Everton point of view so can only comment on our games although I will point out 3 decisions that had nothing to do Everton
1 VAR overturned the refs decision to award Brighton a pen a game we were in total control of until that point the FA sent an apology to the club
2 sheff utd their first goal was a foul on Pickford
3 Bournmouth cross comes in wilson is offside ball goes over him and its headed back across and wilson scores a header VAR stated second phase of play
Arsenal we should of had 2 pens
spurs we should of had 2 pens
Man utd 93rd minute VAR disallowed a winning goal as sigs who was on his backside was apparently impeding six foot six de gea
Norwich there's was not a pen we should of had 1 pen and they should of had a man dismissed now I won't count the Bournemouth and sheff utd games as we were well beaten but that's 15 points we have lost now I bet you guys could do a similar list now to the ones that involve other teams Liverpool twice had players who handled in the area which should of been pens they went straight down the other end and scored VAR allowed the goals and stated second phase of play now to Burnley v Palace with palace winning 1-0 they crossed the ball it looked like handball but ref waved play on burnley broke and scored VAR chalked the goal off and pulled the game back for a pen for palace to go 2-0 up why was that not second phase of play my take on it is its used to benefit certain teams over others and its certainly easier to penalise an Everton or a Wolves than a Liverpool chelsea or Man utd.


3.) 27 Jul 2020 11:49:57
7 points it's cost us Debs. Some guy tweeted a stat sheet yesterday.


4.) 27 Jul 2020 12:54:11
Cheers RKO! makes it even more frustrating. The FA should get all managers (including relegated managers) and review the season in terms of VAR’s performance and how it can be improved. I cannot remember seeing a match where the ref went and looked at a monitor on the sideline (I stand to be corrected on this one) .


5.) 27 Jul 2020 14:33:09
Even Macca of all people said the ref should go view the monitor at that penalty Burnley cheated for against us.


6.) 27 Jul 2020 22:51:02
Bramley- whilst they are all good examples of VARS many faults the Bournemouth one is the worst for me! Because there was no matter of opinion to be considered or point of view or even context! Sat in their little booth they could CLEARLY see like the REST of the world that a ball had crossed the line and a goal had not been given and STILL they sat there and did nothing?! If you EVER needed a sign that a system was broke well there it is! I'm not against technology in football, BUT I am against rushing it in when there has clearly been no where near enough thought or lessons learnt from previous trials!


7.) 28 Jul 2020 13:19:50
Just reading that Bournemouth are looking to sue VAR for loss of earnings after it failed to award Sheff Utd a goal v Villa which was clearly over the line and which resulted in VAR admitting it was wrong. That point which Villa earnt has cost Bournemouth. Goes to prove that VAR is a joke.


8.) 28 Jul 2020 15:51:47
Yeah bullysboy ll VAR doesn't work for me do you celebrate do you not celebrate offside by a big toe certain teams getting decisions just because of who they are me I was all for it I'm now totally against it.


9.) 28 Jul 2020 17:07:47
I think we should look to sue VAR too for loss of earnings it cost us 4th place.
Hopefully other clubs that VAR have cost a lot will sue too if Bournemouth are succesful it could open a whole can of worms on VAR and the officials who too should be sued imo.


10.) 28 Jul 2020 17:13:48
That'll be a searing inditement on VAR if it even makes it to court. The problem will be: if the decision was in Bournemouth's favour then a legal precedent would be made, that would open the flood gates for future cases. I think the PL might just try to buy Bourenmeouth's silence.


11.) 28 Jul 2020 21:25:07
You're right Debbie, the PL and FA will do anything to protect the big 6 and the PL brand.


12.) 30 Jul 2020 12:22:25
Not sure goalline technology is the same company that operates VAR however VAR operatives ought to have visually checked I would have thought.


 

 

27 Jun 2020 07:43:02
Anyone else starting to worry that Pool didn't want to pay £50m for Werner because they are going to go for Adama instead? Werner wouldn't have suited there system where as (and I hate saying it) but Adama could be devastating in it! I REALLY hope that isn't the case, if we finish the window with Raul and Adama it would have been a successful window for me! C'mon boys, get Nunos contract done and the rest will hopefully take care of itself! COYW.

BullysBoy II

1.) 27 Jun 2020 09:01:06
Not worried at all. Liverpool are not in a financially strong position.


2.) 27 Jun 2020 11:05:18
This may be click-bate fake news, but has anyone seen reports that Costa is on the list submitted to the PL of players to be retained by Wolves? I quote from Football Insider:

". the Premier League’s official retained list released in the last 24 hours names Costa among the senior professionals staying on at Wolves"

I can't see how this is true, unless Leeds United has found a legal loop hole to avoid paying £15mil for Costa. A more extreme view is that Traore is being sold and Nuno wants Costa back. Probably complete B/ S. Even if Traore was leaving Nuno would have better options to bring in than Costa.

{Ed002's Note - You have misunderstood it. The retained list reflects the players contracted to the club at this time and those for which agreements have been agreed to be sold in the summer wil stay on the list until the transfer window opens and they can be registered for their new club. Perhaps of more importance is the Wolves released list - those players leaving on a free: Jordan Graham, William Connor, Phil Ofosu-Ayeh, Callum Thompson and Ming-Yang Yang.}


3.) 27 Jun 2020 11:08:10
Traore has been developing into a world-class player before our very eyes. Look how he can play against the likes of Liverpool and Man City. This boy can perform against anyone and he's fearless.


4.) 27 Jun 2020 11:26:49
Thanks Ed002.
Sad to see Jordan Graham leaving. He was unlucky with injuries etc and now a fully-fit Graham is no longer good enough for new Wolves. A move to the Championship next season with his former club Villa might suit.


5.) 27 Jun 2020 16:50:57
that supposed donkey had a great game today and isn't given the credit he deserves. gives everything every game he plays and does all the dirty work.

15 Dec 2021 10:11:35
So. is anyone else suddenly feeling a LOT better about our performance agaisnt City?! We should! After the Pool and City game there were one or two (on here) questioning Lages tactics as not being ambitious enough? Well I hope they see the foolishness in their folly now!

Leeds play Pool next game and going off tonight's performance I expect it'll look like a cricket score between these two games!
Now I get that everyone wants to see us 'have a go at teams' but that's what Leeds tried to do tonight and where did that get um, out of the game before ht?! Which game do you think Pool/City fear more us or Leeds?!

Now I REALLY do rate Bielsa among the best in the league so not kicking him whilst he's down, but much like Nunos tenure maybe one or two need to step away from the tree in front of them to see the woods spread out behind it?! Lage isn't perfect but one thing he does seem to know is how to change things agaisnt the best oppo in this league and that means when you go to City or Pool you do so with the right game plan!

OK I accept that it may not have worked (this time) but that doesn't mean it wasn't the 'right' game plan it just means we've played two of the best teams in the WORLD and still somehow lost it on the margins! Surely just from a tactical view point that deserves a little more credit? Instead some are still questioning the man's credentials?

Sound point BB.


2.) 15 Dec 2021 11:06:35
BB you beat me to posting a thread on this subject. Both Jurgen and Pep made points about us playing in a so called negative way. Presumably Pep will have messaged Bruno this morning to tell him that he's been shown by Bielsa how its done! I think they have got a cheek, simple arrogance we are only there so they can show how great they are! Football is about different styles you have to beat what's in front of you like its always been. I am proud of our lads for both performances and yes I'd love to see us take them on but not yet! When we have a few more players and Bruno can fully have the team perform his way, then I'd love to see it! Until then Jurgen and Pep go give your heads a wobble, you do your thing we will do ours. I'm sure we would never be so rude as to tell them how to play, its none of our business!


3.) 15 Dec 2021 11:28:59
The thing is though lads we've shown over the last few seasons with near enough the same squad that we can compete with probably the two best teams in the world and beat them.
The season of 19/20 when we did the double over city we took the fight to them and it paid off.
Saturday's performance was a shadow of those performances even before Raul was sent off.
We should have more belief in what we can achieve instead of playing for the draw.


4.) 15 Dec 2021 12:54:49
BB - good post. I have never criticised Lage who to date has done v well with his lot. The performances against City and Liverpool were excellent.
PS I assume you are also pointing out that Nuno also cut his cloth accordingly and got fantastic results, (and not just against the "big teams"), despite the disparity in resources and consequently his villification on here and other sites is mind boggling!
However whilst I did not expect any different they did produce zero points and were entirely defensive. This is not a criticism of Lage! I do not see how with the players available to him we could have played any differently and even then the outcomes were a tadge unlucky - we could v easily have got 2 0-0s- in which case the man would quite rightly be lauded as a genius.
However we should acknowledge that the 2 games before against teams that are probably lower end of the table teams were 2 0-0s and although not entirely defensive were not exactly offensively succesful either. This is also not a criticism of Lage but a mere statement of the facts.
As I stated at the start of the season with the squad we have if Jimenez comes back to his former glories we are a top half of the table team - excellent defensively, good at controlling the game and capable of scoring enough goals to compete in the upper echelons of the table
However with the obvious shortcomings in the squad if Jimenez does not come back to his old self (and at the start of the season and over the last month or so he has looked a few yards short) whilst we are still solid defensively and good at controlling games we don't look like a side that will score v many at all.
In which case we are probably a side that will regularly lose to the top sides and draw quite a few with the lower half of the table teams.
This will leave us as a team that is at best a lower mid table team. Clearly if Jimenez is off form all year we will be a team that is in trouble! Fortunatley his good spell earlier on this year corresponded to a run of game against teams at the bottom (are these two facts linked?) and we picked up a fair few points meaning we shouldn't be in trouble this year.
Despite this though most posters seem pretty convinced that we won't be able to sign anyone who can solve the clubs obvious problems, (short of viable options at CB, ACM and CF) in Jan.
Oddly some apparently believe we will in the summer of 2022?
Quite why anyone has any faith in Shi buying the right (if any!) players in the summer of 2022 when he didn't in 2021 or 2020 is beyond me.
So Ken I think we both may be waiting quite a while before we are equipped to take on City.
To return to your point however BB we should be extremely grateful that in Nuno and now Lage we have managers capable of still extracting the sort of performances we have seen this last week from our ageing and threadbare squad.


5.) 15 Dec 2021 12:56:52
Jota is the missing link in this team for me and we simply have to find someone who can do what he did for us. Raul looks isolated and lacking a bit of confidence and yes adama can carry the ball a long way and get thing's moving but when he sees goals he loses all concentration as we've seen. Jota is a big loss especially against the top team's.as for the way we set up against Liverpool and City I think lage got it right and a couple of substitutions and Raul losing his mind along with the worst penalty decision I've seen in modern times cost us. But we certainly have to be more adventurous against the Norwich. Burnley and Southamptons if this league. It's only my opinion folks and I'm wolves through and through for over 55 year's and I'll always support them as I can.


6.) 15 Dec 2021 13:30:37
Big- I think your missing the point, cause when we won that game (v City) 2-0 we used the VERY same game plan, it just happened to come off tbat day! In fact you say 'we took the game to them' well guess how many shots we had on target that day, you guessed it we had TWO shots and happened to score them both! We also only had 24% possession that day as well, is that REALLY taking the game to them?! For the record on out last match agaisnt City we had 1 shot on target (so not that far off when we won) and we also had 29% possession, so are you sure we won that one time cause we took the game to them?! Or is it more likely that back then we caught City off guard as they took us lightly and that day they learnt a valuable lesson?!


7.) 15 Dec 2021 14:17:10
I'm still shocked that they sold Jota Lexluna and was somewhat annoyed to hear the top table congratulating themselves for getting £45M for him.
As for City v Leeds I must admit I had a little chuckle over that result but the reality is whether you loose 1-0 or 7-0 you still get no points. We all like to see our team winning by player nice flowing attacking football but in it's absence I'd be much happier with 20% possession, one chance and a 1-0 win, than playing well, but losing.


8.) 15 Dec 2021 14:23:46
Trouble is though BB we don't look like catching any team off guard so to speak at the moment.
We have been poor in attack for the last 5 games, Raul looks a pale imitation of the player he was and hwang has hit a brick wall.
We fail to utilise Traores main attributes enough and when we do there is either nobody in the box or his delivery is poor.
Corner's and freekicks, while slightly better because RAN has been taking some are poor and most times don't clear the first defender.
If we had a bit more conviction to get the ball moving forward instead of sideways and backwards we might have more shots on target and goals on the board.
To have the fourth best defence in the league so far and the second worst attack screams bottom half finish this season to me.

future, give me a break I was trying to be optimistic! Positive thoughts and all that. It really needs Jeff Shi to emerge from behind the curtains a perhaps give fans a clue as to where Fosun are going to take the club. We need to see in January a bit of positive intent to help Bruno out because reality is so far it has been lacking though I'm not unduly surprised! We've been here before!

Sorry Ken and sorry to all of the posters for my negativity today - and indeed most days!.
Haven't seen the game yet as my girls have been hogging the TV with BT on it ( the only other one with it on is my sons and I've no chance of watching that!) to watch "Made in Chelsea" on catch up but will watch tonight and hopefully will be full of joy for the 3 points in the morning!

OK so like all of us regulars I try not to give it the big one on here cause let's be honest we are all part of the pack and close friends so what's the point?! 😬 BUT at the start of this Euros like a few on here I said England should finally have a team that could do something and of course one of our fellow wanderers said 'well Portugal will get further' (good man cause that's basically backing the club at this stage, Wolveugals:)

So I said let's see! Not sure who it was and I don't care cause I know enough about these pages to say they will be VERY happy to be wrong! 👍It's coming home guys! Read Steve Holland comments cause that guy knows, the strength of the wolf is in the pack! C'mon Connor, c'mon England! It's coming home me babies! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐺.

Nice to see you buzzing with delight bullysboy.
I can't wait to read your post when we (wolves win something) .
Fairplay to you mate same as greyleg.
I thought we wouldn't be as good as we have been.
My first as middle aged, England in a major final in my lifetime.
Roll on Sunday.
Today I have never felt as tired as I have for a very long time up till late being it going extra time but worth every ache pain yawn today with us in the final.
Come on England
Ps I had read steve hollands comments about connor coady felt great as Connor is flying the wolves flag. 👍.

Last night was awesome I can't remember watching a game and being so absolutely exhausted at the end of it! Immensely proud of our players I thought we were excellent although we have played better in some games but they got us over the line. The scenes afterwards were incredible. Hope we can do it on Sunday but I will be proud of them whatever the result as long as they continue to give everything. Come on England!


3.) 09 Jul 2021 13:30:10
I'M ONE EATING WORDS I had no confidence in ENGLAND this tournament and maybe just maybe it might be coming home 45 years and the first tournament I had no faith in might just be the best one yet LOL.


4.) 09 Jul 2021 17:06:16
I totally see where your coming from, and why you had no confidence,
And you wouldn't be on your own
So keep the posts coming 👍👍
I could see what's got this team playing so well a while back,
They have seen the whole country, in turmoil, sadness, down hearted, hardships, and not knowing when the good days would be back,
So they have committed to lifting the country's spirits, with there determination , to make all of us
Feel better in life, and pull together, to beat the array of barriers put before us, Let's stick together, be sad together, and now,
Be bloody happy together
Coye.

Greyleg I'm watching the final with my bro arranged it today.
I saw my nephew today his school had the kids in England and football kits (no uniform) in exactly the spirit you talk about.
It was brilliant seeing him. in his England strip.
Sunday the final will be awesome.
😀👍👍.

I see Nuno is out saying that Semedo has stepped up and he's right to do so cause the lad probs needs a lift. However for me I'm not sure it's about him 'stepping up' more about a wing back FINALLY being asked to play wing back! It's the same with Jose, those of us debating his impact can't really do it, because he came in as we switched back to 5-3-2.

So what part in the change of results do Nelson or Jose play, well probs a little. BUt for me the switch in formations is the reason for the change in form. Moving forward if we want to get anywhere with transfers we HAVE to bring them in to suit the formation we Want them to play in. Sounds simple eh 🙈.

While Semedo has improved going forward he is still found wanting defensively and does get caught ball watching. Jose needs a goal or two before the end of the season if we are to make the move permenant, he does have something about him and could do with better service .


2.) 24 Feb 2021 09:52:09
Bully - completely agree.
As you said on another thread Doherty outside of the system is not half the player he is in the system.
In other words the system is really important and we had one that worked extremely well.
That is what makes the decision to change the system (and then to rub salt in the wound buy players unsuited for that new system) insane!
Apparently it was because we lost to Seville and had to change to progress.
Well progress didn't look good did it!
Just as Devil's advocate what would have happened if Jimenez had scored the penalty.
Seville then couldn't have sat back and waited for the inevitable chance.
After 70 mins at 1 down they would have had to stop playing possession football and actually tried to break us down, pushing players forward and making riskier passes.
Guess what, we might well have been delighted with this as the minutes ticked by they would have been forced to commit suicide and left us chances to score a second or even a third!
Would we then have beaten United and then won the trophy?
Well Seville did?
Nuno quite correctly recognised the squad was too small, unbalanced and needed upgrading.
If we had been playing Champions league football, {the winner of Europa get a champs league place} this season would we have done so?
As we weren't we decided to do nothing about the squad and instead throw the baby out with the bath water by changing the system that had worked so well for something we were totally unprepared to play.
A relegation scare later we have reverted to rationality and hopefully have merely wasted a year.
However I fear that not only is this year wasted but we have made it much harder to get top quality players to join next summer. For Wolves it is hard when you are coming not off of a successful season but after one in which you flirted with relegation?
We have a huge summer ahead of us please let's not make stupid mistakes again!


3.) 24 Feb 2021 10:58:36
Agree guys. As your all aware this season has produced some strange results, for every team, and at one point we went thru a dodgy spell, well let's blame it on C.V.,
So for me this season has been one to get thru, unscathed, ( unfortunately Jimenez) and rebuild for new season, new goals, maybe some new additions, let's play for the pride/ passion/ performance for us fans to banter over
AWFW.


4.) 27 Feb 2021 17:03:33
Perfect post greylegwolfcouldn’t agree more the season has been strange for everyone the premier league as does football needs its fans and hopefully we’ll be back at the mol next season progressing as we were before cv struck 👍🏻.

Get in! We really needed that, hell I REALLY needed that! Been a tough ride already this season but a performance like that was just what was needed, not just the result but the grit shown by the players.

They wanted that then, Sat would have hurt! Also nice to see more youngsters play Otasowie had Kante bouncing off him at times, not easy that especially at his age. Great to see Neto and Podence finally have some reward for their hard work.

Those two could have quite the future, the speed of both players feet is scary at times! For me that's the back four idea put to bed, it shows that actually it doesn't massively change our attacking capabilities. Just seems to make us give cheap goals away for me. Great assist for Vitinha as well pretty much rounded off a great night, happy days 😊🐺.

1.) 15 Dec 2020 23:08:36
Agreed BullysBoy. I don't think we have the personnel for a back 4 right now, especially against the better teams. Safety in numbers

It's time Adama asked himself a few questions. He's got to start taking these opportunities. Neto is an absolute gem. He's forced his way into the team with shear guts and determination. Adama take note. Saiss tremendous again, marcal steady, Neves, strangely, had some room tonight. Dendonker looks like he's got competition in otasowie. About time as well. Vithina, again looked bright. Silva, for me, is very lightweight but that can be improved upon, but what worries me with him is that he has no pace. His future is as a target man in and around the box, Giroud like. At this moment in time, and I'd really like to be saying something different, but I think we've paid well over the odds for him.
Anyway. A great win. I still think we're going to be mid table and we're still a window or two from being a top six team.


2.) 16 Dec 2020 05:08:49
Spot on, Sharesum. Neves did find acres of space, but did very little with it. He's supposed to be a 'playmaker' yet he kept playing the ball backwards, instead of driving forward. Anyway, should focus on positives as there were 6 or 7 excellent performances tonight! FWAW.


3.) 16 Dec 2020 07:44:37
My villa fan work colleague watched the match and he told me we were so much better going back to 5 at the back and he couldn't understand why nuno had changed the system.
Great posts on the match analysis👍.


4.) 16 Dec 2020 08:57:08
Good Performance, I just hope Nuno doesn't bring his favourite Mouthino back for the Burnley game, We are much quicker going forward without him.


5.) 16 Dec 2020 11:53:16
Didn't see the game so enjoying your posts, thanks.


6.) 16 Dec 2020 12:53:51
Bullys boy we've allowed ourselves to get to pessimistic. We're probably 2 points down on last season. Last time we took 10 points off City, Villa and West Ham (3 each) and 1 from Leicester. We got 0 against Liverpool. However this year we have gained 3 points from Chelsea, Sheff Utd and Arsenal (1 point last time) All other games were the same. So we are 2 points worse off with a newish side that's still developing and the last 2 seasons we were better in the second half of the season.

So we FINALLY have a club captain that is the role model pro, first class leader and just retained his place in the England squad! Yet still some on here are doubting his ability to deliver based off one bad game when the whole team played a shocker?! The doubters need to give their heads a wobble! What a week for Connor, new five year contract and a MUCH deserved recall to the national team! Nice to see people that know what they are talking about giving him some recognition, even if one or two on here won't! 🙄 COYW 🐺.

Great to see Coady called up again to the England squad.
He has pkayed every minute in the premier league since our promotion.
We are in the top ten best defencive record the last 2 seasons.
Stats don't lie and Coady is the heartbeat of our defence.
Coady imo like yours bullysboy and many others fully merits his call up.


2.) 04 Oct 2020 13:22:07
Spot on guys. Top player and Captain. Don't think we'd be where we are without him. Every team has a heartbeat, he's ours!

Now let's get Fulham out of the way. Like a lot of teams that played in August we've been very up and down. West Ham were very good last week and are doing it again today. We will be ok soon this is still our pre season.

I get that Lost but pretty sure Fulham will be aware as it was one of the most well publicised injuries in the last few years! If there's a problem there's a problem but like Mad says if they were conocered I suspect they have done it behind closed doors! As for the move all Fulham need is cover for Mitrovic which they will then sell for silly money.

I would be surprised lost, considering he played in the final game of the season. What do you know that the player and club don't?! ?

'Transfer Window' suggests it's over/closed Ray, last time I checked we have another month yet! Your comments laughable! ?

Yeah confused by both of these, I think peeps were hoping/expecting that with Adama gone Chiquinho would be coming through. As for Hoever it comes with a contract extension, why on earth are we extending his contract (which already ran till 25)?! Honestly I have no clue with this window, Lope better have some players up his sleeve or we are in trouble! I see Brighton are after Elanga, decent player. I wonder who we are after?!

Agreed, however I'm not entirely sure that giving three year contracts to 31 year old players is the best way to solve that?! No wonder Docs wanted to come back, who gives a three year contract to a 31 year old player?! I'm a bit shocked with that one if honest! ?

I would also ask Jas who has been historically informing transfers. When we signed both Fabio and Guedes we did so with no other club chasing the yet we seem to pay about double there actual value was?! Who else would have paid £30+m for either of um and what was Gestufutes/Fosun kick back on the deals?! Like you say I am starting to wonder who has been benefiting from such deals cause it certainly isn't our club! ?

Also Rated I have to ask where did that figure come from cause I'm not convinced it's correct?! Did you get it from adding up the values on transfer market?!

Not massively surprised by that Abbey, he's had a bit of an attitude on him for a few seasons now and I suspect JL has no time for it. Get him gone, if he wants to go then he's no great loss

And he better be up to it cause on a three year contract we will likely be stuck with him for a good while either way! ?

It is worth noting here that we spent the last month of the season with Totti playing LB. That in itself suggests that Lope doesn't trust the defensive capabilities of our current options! I like Cresswell but I worry that we seem to be building and old/slow defence ?
