Really important win today. Not the prettiest. Was four rows back to watch Raul slot home. Just watched it back, and we should have had a clear handball pen shout. Also had Rodrigo should’ve gone down from a heavy challenge. Could’ve had another pen.

Kreiji lucky to be on the pitch tho. Toti was a disaster waiting to happen when he came on. Hope Nassr is fit for the visit of the Tesco carrier bags!! He has been excellent. Anyway, onward and upward. It’s important to win ugly. And a first clean sheet! COYW.

Happy with the 3 points, not the best performance but I did think overall we were the better side, just.
I agree with others, not sure how Munetsi starts ahead of James. R. Gomes good first half but think he was injured and taken off.
Mane kept trying but overall not the best and likewise Armstrong.


Hope new players with returning ones can help us improve, worried now as well as Toti back on and gave the ball away dangerously not long after coming on.
Sa gets pushed over too easily and is always looking for a foul, just a matter of time before this costs us a goal.
Apart from all that we doing well. 👍

I see Wolves Women got their first win today, 3-1 against Shef Utd. Congrats to them for their first win in the WSL2.

Good to hear Goat, thanks for update.

Well done the lads.
No goals against.
We should have had more.
But a good result.

Much needed 3 points and a clean sheet, but need to do much better.

Agree Rated, good to get 3 points, but too early to say if we can make a prolonged challenge.

Omg. Can Sa catch an aerial ball? He is so awful with those. I hope we try the new keeper in the Cup.

From BBC Sport app:

"O'Neill opted for Sam Johnstone in goal and he looked more than uncomfortable from the off. It seemed Celtic hadn't expected how Rangers would set up and they were relentlessly punished."

Glad he's gone. Keeps aren't coached to catch balls these days.

COYW. Important win today. A grubby game but great if you get the ugly wins.

All this about the prem is a bit premature. We got to get up in really strong championship league, only 5 games in, but we don't look like a top 2 side.

13 Sep 2026 14:06:35
No, we certainly don't. 3 points today, but we are so sloppy at times. A better team than Sheffield would've finished us off, much like West Ham did.

Wolf1, totally agree that the performance was shocking. Second half, no shots at goal, no touches in the box, astonishing. Till the last 15 minutes, I think, unbloody believable. Why is James not playing? Best player in the league last season, but Munetsi starts in front of him. Armstrong runs around alot but nowt else. Once again, lucky to get anything, never mind 3 points.

Agree with all the above. Great to secure 3 points, but the team looks disjointed and not convincing.
Manager needs to sort out the line up. James, Tripper (I know, fitness issues) and I would say Doyle must become starters.
Current starting 11 not quite right.

Some of you are seemingly always unhappy. We draw 2-2 and the defense is the problem. We win 1-0 and the offense isn't good enough.
Yes, there were a few spells where we didn't have control, but overall we dominated this game.

The only time I was a bit uneasy was on corners and long throw-ins when Sa had to go up to catch the ball. He's never confident to hold on, and constantly drops the ball. Maybe he should switch to punching the ball instead?

Were you watching the same game? Second half, SU had 9 attempts at goal, Wolves none. 20 touches in Wolves 18 yard box, Wolves had none in theirs, until the last 10 to 15 minutes, and Wolves controlled the game. Wolves were very lucky to get anything. Set up not right.

Munetsi in front of James, not right. Armstrong in front of Jimenez, not right. Toti, on as sub, playing RB, can't kick a ball with his left foot, never mind RF. And you think that was a good performance? I'm sorry, it was crap for most parts, till Jimenez scored.

13 Sep 2026 15:27:16
DMac, where did you see 9 attempts at goal for SU? I see stats showing 4 shots/2 on target for SU for the whole game. And, just because touches in the box don't mean anything if you don't get shots that are on target. Our defense was pretty tight as they got close, so good job by our backline.

NJ, I take it you and one or two others are being mischievous.
Optimism is good, but facts are what views should be based on.
Based on those, we are not improving, say, like WH.
The manager has much to consider before we can challenge the top sides.
We all hope we can, but the stats currently say otherwise.

Rugeley, what "facts" are you speaking of? To me, you are only offering opinion also, but no facts or stats. Plus, if you know anything about stats, they can be read in different ways to prove a point. IMO, we were in control of the game, the only question was if we could put one in.



Another thing I notice with many posts is the opposition never seems to be given credit for their play; it is always our players who don't do this or that.

We seem to be watching different games. Yes, we gave the ball away too easily at times. Yes, Sa didn't always catch the ball. Was he fouled on those occasions? Coz we were certainly awarded kicks, and Bamford etc had been set up to nudge him at every chance.
We had far more 'attempts' than they did.
Munetsi could/should have had us 2 up in the first half.
Most long balls were over hit, or maybe Armstrong would have been on some.
If I'm going to pick a fault, it's with Mane today. He seems to look for a defender to run towards instead of getting the ball away, and our corners are almost so predictable.


SU set out to defend, and employ the old 'clip his heel', 'elbows out' and body nudges. Fortunately, the ref got in with a yellow early doors when their lad clipped Fer.
Two other calls for penalties were not given, and there was an inspired persistence to the end, with Andre, who was immense, Tripps and Raul providing via Doyle. All 3 points.
Good game, well won, and despite frustrations, a hope for better things to come. Hopefully next week.

I didn't see the game, as I'm in France playing cricket, but judging from the stats I see we had 16 shots to their 6. So, sounds like we did ok. Admittedly, stats don't tell the whole tale, so will have to take what people say.

Although hard to judge when some people say 9 shots second half compared to 4. Who knows what to believe. 🤣

I agree, Abbey. Every team is now bumping Sa, or at least trying to cause him to be tentative. Luckily, we did get some foul calls when that happened, but I don't agree that all should have been considered fouls. Sa opens himself up to this from the opposition because he can't catch or defend the high ball very well.

If he did, they wouldn't waste their time trying to disrupt him. This has always been a major weakness for Sa. Unfortunately, he will never get better with it.

Until Said comes back, I don't see CP as having much of a choice but to continue to use Mane in games. Much like Tchat's continual use until Trip returned.

NJ, a few from other posters. Just one to add, in terms of goals conceded, we are 12thish.
I agree, today just about edged it, but Su are mid-table mediocrity. Surely we should be measuring ourselves against the top 2/3 sides?
I hope as much as you.

We are in the top 2 at the end of the season; we just seem to see the current situation differently.

It's all good, Rugeley. We can all have differing opinions. I'm more glass-half-full in my optimism than glass-half-empty, especially considering we only just played game 6 of 46.

14 Sep 2026 07:02:24
One last point on Sa. Look at our CB so far: Mosq and Toti, Deija and Toti, last two Deija Kreiji, ending with Kreiji Toti. Is Sa getting the protection, or maybe having to go for balls beyond his comfort zone sometimes?
I havnt looked at or rerun any videos, just crossed my mind.

A win today will put us in a decent position going into next week's game. Let's not forget that our recent 'blip' has come against West Ham, who some are saying are the overwhelming favourites to go up, and a derby against The Blues, but more importantly, these games were away from home and massive for the other teams too.

These are the type of games you have to grind out wins. We need a better second half if we have higher aspirations.

Christ on a bike!! What’s with all the doom and gloom??? 5 games in. Everyone, manager included, are still getting to grips with each other and the league. They will improve and it won’t be long. Krejci back is a huge plus. Trips not far behind and things will start to look very different. Once we stop letting in goals and get tighter at the back we’ll be fine.

Keep the faith. Be positive. You’re a long time dead. We’re living the dream… no VAR!!! Come you Wolves fans, let’s bring it. For those going to Bramall Lane tomorrow, let’s get behind the team and Jackson (he’s still a Wolf right now) and make more noise than that lot in their own back yard. They will feed off our positivity and energy. We can do it. Come on me babbies. Wawaw!!

Despite the doom and despondency shown by some, we're still a work in progress. Missing trips is obviously affecting the balance, and Jackson has been a subject of 'interest', not helped by his OG, but if he gets his runs, crosses the ball, and finds Raul a couple of times today, it'll be forgotten.
I've watched other games and highlights of yesterday, and can't see we're any worse. In fact, I think we are more creative in many ways.
So get a good positive today, give a good showing at Everton, and face the Tesco lot next week with confidence.

Then we'll be right on track.
It won't be easy today; no game will be, but I reckon we can take the points. Our weak points are, of course, the defence, but I'm glad Kreiji is back in the fold with some game time, and hopefully he and Deija will have gained an understanding.
We need to plug some gaps in midfield; maybe go 3, losing Armstrong?
Going for a cheering 3-1, Old Gold today.

Think I would have made 3 changes today: Konan for Thach, James for unethical, and Traore for Armstrong, but I'm not the manager, so will give the team my full backing as always. Come on you Wolves. 🙏🙏🙏 🫶🫶🫶

James for Munetsi, sorry for typo.

13 Sep 2026 11:44:15
Well, we've got Mane for Raul! Cesars the gaffer!! Armstrong in the centre against 3 CBs may well work out. COYW.

13 Sep 2026 11:45:06
Willowwolf, It's a good thing you yourself recognise that you're not a manager. Replacing Jackson, a dedicated Right Back, with Konan, a dedicated Left Back, would make our already creaky defence even worse.

Good God
Mane. Jackson and Armstrong shouldn't have started. Fingers crossed we can get one last five.

Big, big match tomorrow. A win will not only keep us in touch, but also set us up nicely for the Sandwell Town derby. I'm very confident that we will take six points from the matches.

Boro first up after the break as well. A bit early to say season-defining, but not far away.
