One thing Wolves love with Tripper in the team is pumping pointless balls into the box.

We won't click. We've just played a diabolically bad team. Watford basically gave Wolves the freedom of the Molineux pitch for 90 minutes and Wolves scored one goal.
That Wolves team simply doesn't have enough goals in it. Pumping trash balls into a box for 90 minutes isn't attacking football.

Pheeeew, 24 attempts and only 3 on target. We played arguably one of the easiest of fixtures and can't get more than one.
Difficult conditions fair enough, another change around in the team, we're not developing things like this.
I assume Fer is carrying something and Deija injured.
Only heard commentary so I can't comment further, it's just not sounding very convincing tho.
Good results for us elsewhere which is a bonus.

100% need a finisher. Armstrong cannot win anything in the air. He did do well when the ball was played to his feet but Raul, if available would have scored a hatful.

The opposition were atrocious, but I suppose a win is a win.
The fans didn't like the Jordan James substitution.
It's not going to take much for the fans to turn on Peixoto. It's already started.

Hope we can win today, not sure how Sa keeps his place every week, fingers crossed we win and play well otherwise more pressure on CP, each year seems to be on repeat.
Reading what others have posted very concerning our finances, where does the money go?

I give up with this manager another 5 changes.
Think I'll go back home lost interest.

I presume Lopez is not fully fit and Djiga injured.
Time for Armstrong to do his job and start scoring.

I was optimistic this morning but having just seen the team, I'm not confident. Hopefully I'm proved wrong but this seems to be becoming a season of failure.

If Lopez is fit, why usbellegarde in before him,
If he's not fit, whys he on the bench
Some odd decisions,,, but if we win
He will be hailed.

Compared to other managers currently operating across the Championship, Peixoto sits in the cautious, possession based control freak category. He isn't a high-intensity, total football pressing coach, nor is he a classic Championship direct long ball manager.
1. The Direct Comparison: John Mousinho (Portsmouth)
Like Peixoto, Mousinho favors a structured 4-2-3-1 setup that values patience, neat positional shape, and controlling phases of the match.
Mousinho allows his team to take more vertical risks in transitions to get wingers isolated in space early. Peixoto prefers recycling the ball across the back line to reset structure, which leads to lower-risk, side-to-side build-ups.
2. The Contrast: Alex Neil (Millwall) / Nathan Jones (Charlton)
Classic Championship attrition. Jones and Neil play direct, high intensity, second ball football, getting into the opposition box as fast as possible through physical battles, aerial channels, and long passes.
Peixoto completely rejects that chaotic style. He insists on slow, methodical build up through the center-backs. However, when teams sit in a low block against him, his possession lacks the speed needed to break them down, making it feel sterilising compared to direct sides.
3. The Elite Possession Benchmark: Chris Davies (Birmingham City)
Dominated League One and brought an aggressive, high-pressing, fluid 4-3-3 system into the Championship. Davies uses possession to pin teams into their own 18 yard box, combining high turnover metrics with rapid central combinations.
Both average similar ball share, but Davies uses possession to attack. Peixoto uses possession primarily as a defensive shield. Rankings show Wolves sit near the bottom (22nd) for winning the ball back in the final third, proving Peixoto prefers a controlled mid block squeeze over an aggressive high press.
Peixoto operates like a manager trying to play top flight European structural football in a division that rewards sharp acceleration and direct physical threat. It produces stable results (7th place, +6.5 xG difference), but it can be exhausting to watch when facing stubborn defenses.
