Braithwaite in England squad?!
Is Southgate mad?
Kilman ignored. disgraceful!

Podence scores again.

I really struggle with Southgate's decision- making.
Why waste 2 squad places on Maguire, occasional Premiership player and Henderson, playing in Junior European League?
If he thinks they are a good influence, take them as Backroom Staff, don't waste the chance to look at fringe players.
With our squad, we should win the Euros easily, sadly with Southgate, as we have seen on 2 other big opportunities, he tends to snatch defeat from the Jaws of victory.

15 Mar 2024 11:54:23
My resding is that Southgate is on his way after the Euros and he's staying loyal to his players, leaving the next manager to wield the axe. In fairness he's been the most successful manager for a while so why upset anyone

15 Mar 2024 12:49:24
I think people are upset because he has had a great crop of players and they have not won anything. When they were playing well in the final against Italy his negative tactics caused them to lose that game. He is a terrible manager.

15 Mar 2024 17:19:49
Hi Waterloo,
Really this just shows how biased everything in the PL is to me. Braithwaite picked for the England squad. All this does is help out Everton financially. If they sell in the summer it adds a few more £Million to his value. That's the only reason why I can see he's been picked.

14 Mar 2024 16:25:04
Our FA Cup quarter final is just a day and a half away and I am so excited. It won't be easy against Coventry, but we have a golden opportunity of reaching the semis.
Since 1960, we have reached the semi finals 5 times and lost the lot. Hopefully, we can do a bit better this year.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Mar 2024 19:47:30
With you all the way lostcity, our runs in the FA cup have always fallen short nigh on 60 years. We have a real chance to make another semi, another Wembley appearance and hopefully the final. I feel this could be our time, but coventry are not to be taken for granted, we'll have to be at our best all over.

14 Mar 2024 11:51:49
If Southgate doesn't pick Max this time, he never will! Muppet!

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Mar 2024 12:02:38
He won't pick him. He'll choose tge usual club bench warmers: Maguire, Phillips etc.

The usual argument is that these players have never let him down. That is correct but the same players have never won him anything either so surely he needs players who can play differently.

Gone are the days when players were picked on form rather than reputation.

14 Mar 2024 12:57:14
You're spot on Jas, I've actually lost a lot of love for the national game due to Southgates poor tactical decisions and team call ups. The man is absolutely clueless and a decent manager would have won something by now with what many would say is the best pool of English players ever.

14 Mar 2024 15:32:31
Agree EW.
We have some great players. Sadly not the manager to match.
However, despite that, I expect the players of the quality we have to win in the summer.

14 Mar 2024 19:37:40
Southgate really is predictable.

14 Mar 2024 21:38:12
To be fair to Southgate, Max in his eyes presents as a bit of a risk as he plays in a back 3. Even GON changed from a back 4 against Fulham.

It was similar with Coady who got call ups because of his leadership qualities rather than the chance of playing.

14 Mar 2024 22:16:21
I think it's a bigger risk selecting Ramsdale and Maguire when they don't even play for their clubs on a regular basis.

14 Mar 2024 10:19:53
I have not heard a lot of news coming out of Molineux. As a Kiwi, I rely a lot on Wolves rumours/banter. Are there any updates on the injured players, who will be available against Coventry. Who do you think will win. My thoughts Wolves will win and will play either Liverpool or Man City in the semi as the FA will try and set up a Liverpool Man City final.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Mar 2024 11:28:23
It's been a little quiet on the update front, but I would suggest definitely out are: Neto and Hwang.

Bellegarde?, it may be a week too early for Cuhna? and we're still unsure about Dawson (last news was he hadn't trained this week).
It won't be a pushover against Coventry, but hopefully we still have enough for a Wolves win.

14 Mar 2024 11:38:34
FA cup draw conspiracy theoris!?
Cov game a banana skin but think we have enough without the injuries to cross the line.Rumour is Cunha maybe on bench but personally wouldn't risk him after what happened to Neto.
As for the semis you take what you are given and clearly would not want city or Liverpool.However they are are all tough Inc Chelsea/Leicester.
Personally would love Wolves Man Utd final.

14 Mar 2024 12:00:42
Hopefully we make our way past Coventry. Just hope City get knocked out as it would be sad to draw City as Doyle would be unable to play because of his loan situation. Be a sod to get to a second semifinal in two years and be unable to play in either because of that.

14 Mar 2024 12:17:05
I think we might struggle against Coventry. They seem to be a good side who score a lot of goals. Hopefully we have a few player back but I haven’t seen anything.

14 Mar 2024 13:28:35
We have a stronger squad than Coventry going 2 0 to us
Nate and Mario

14 Mar 2024 13:59:17
I'm abit worried by the Coventry game, they're the underdogs and will be right up for it, we are depleted and dare I say it, abit game weary. However, GON seems to be an inspiration and the FA cup is the chance to take something this season. GON gets the lads to find that extra effort and if we get the 1st goal the confidence should carry us through. Sarabia and RAN could well be the keys.
Re final conspiracies, it wouldn't surprise me draw wise, but it'd take one heck of a VAR/REF deceit to orchestrate a result to suit if things wernt going to plan.
Wolves v Leicester semi with Liverpool in the final, we could then spoil the klopp party in the cup and the prem last game of season. Lol dreaming again, but if you don't dream?.

14 Mar 2024 19:16:28
Tbh. I'm confident we will beat Coventry.
Maybe nouts play the netto role
Fraser up front

Another day, another match and yet another ticketing disaster by Wolves.

Selected my tickets for me (adult) and my 18 year old son (U21).

Could not make the purchase system said I had selected the wrong ticket type (I hadn't).

Logged out, cleared the cache, logged in, tried again, same error.

Logged in using my son's details and still the same issue.

20 minutes later after constant issue, managed to get tickets in the corner (original tickets were behind the goals).

Phoned up the club and they said they are aware of the IT issues. and were looking into it.

BUT, I have purchased tickets for all the home games this season except v Brighton and Sheff Utd and every single time I have had to contact the club as they have usually overcharged me or confirmed my tickets in a different part of the ground.

Is anyone else having similar issues?

I wanted Luton to win 3 nil up when I retired.
Gutted to hear on radio they lost 4-3 .
On radio it said it was the biggest premier league comeback in 20 years but didn't say who it was 20 years ago.
Any inkling anyone.

14 Mar 2024 07:58:03
Wolves v Leicester by any chance?

14 Mar 2024 08:21:36
My thinking Nigel I can't remember if we were 3 nil down though.

14 Mar 2024 08:22:13
Spurs blowing a 3-0 lead and losing 5-3 in the end to red mancs Phil? No I jest, the foxes blowing it against our wonderful wolves, what a great day that was. My foxes mate kept texting through out the 1st half and half time, winding me up. But boy did I get on his nerves all night with reminders, he's now no longer with us god rest him. But I still look forward to the games between us and I'd dearly love Leicester in the FA cup this year.

14 Mar 2024 08:25:18
Was thinking that Nigelt2.

14 Mar 2024 08:42:14
2003/04 season, home to Leicester. Henri Camara got the winner. I was there.

14 Mar 2024 11:49:30
Cameron 2 Rae and Camara, was listening at Manchester Airport on way to Corfu!

14 Mar 2024 18:47:03
Was there myself. Mate wanted to leave at half time. 3 nil down. As far as I recall Ferdinand scored two. Mate was happy he decided to stay after a brilliant comeback!

13 Mar 2024 17:36:33
Fabio, love the guy.Never given a real chance at Wolves but see continual development with each loan move.We need extra guns up front and would buy additional striker in summer but also keep Fabio and see if he can take his chance when given it.Dont forget how young he still is.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Mar 2024 18:03:59
Not another thread about Fabio ;) ……. On another note there’s a few posts in other posts that might have been missed. Including one from BoSWolf asking for help if anyone has any ideas.

13 Mar 2024 18:38:54
Haha agreed Goat buddy, I've had all my Fabio rants for one week 😂 so not going to say much more. Only point I would make is that in the current FFP climate no club the size of ours can afford to keep a £60k a week player unless they are regularly playing! I (ironically:) agree with others that the big wage isn't his fault but in reality it plays a VERY real part in any decision that's made on his future. Cause I would be amazed if Rangers are paying anymore than 50% of his wages; so essentially at the moment (not blaming him:) BUT despite playing for Rangers he's STILL taking up a squad wage (£30k) just by having a contract at the club. Next season he either needs to be part of the team or he needs to go, just the nature of the realities of FFP these days I'm afraid 👍

A quality goal by Fabio Silva best one I've seen him score.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Mar 2024 10:51:19
Morning Phil, I saw that and even better for me, the match report I read talked about his strong physical impact.
I wasn't sure this was a good loan option for him.maybe it is.
Would be great to see him deemed good enough for next season's squad.

11 Mar 2024 12:20:08
He wants to stay at Rangers.

11 Mar 2024 14:08:01
I think his comments are just him being diplomatic.
Let's see how our management rate him at the end of the season.

11 Mar 2024 14:15:24
I sure he does want to stay there cause he's finally found his level! Sounds like Rangers better get some collection buckets going cause we have £30m+ to recoup! 🤣

11 Mar 2024 15:37:20
Perhaps he just wants to stay somewhere where the fans aren’t on his back all the time and who could blame him. Wanted to stay at the previous club he was loaned to as well but we brought him back to sit on the bench and get abuse from some fans.

11 Mar 2024 15:54:54
Hi Rugeley Rsted BullysBoy,

I agree with Rugeley let's wait to see how GON and his team see him.
Never know GON might be the one, remember few saying whang was championship level but he's had a tremendous season bar injury.

I can't see Ramgers affording him
quite a dilemma we have.

11 Mar 2024 18:18:54
Possibly a deal with a sell on clause and various incentives. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though.

11 Mar 2024 18:43:01
Who's abusing him Goat?! Good lord Fabio is a precious little soldier! If he doesn't like the pressure that comes with one of the larger wages in the squad then he could have always offered to reduce it, don't see him doing that now do you?!
Haha, people do make me laugh, never the players fault is it. Always the fans, always the managers, always Jeffs! Heaven forbid that it could just be that the player ain't good enough for this league?! He wouldn't sit on the bench if he was scoring and playing well would he?!
So weird how Neto or Gomes have never had a problem with our fans ain't it, whys that then Goat please do tell me?!
I would also just point out that he's still only scored 2 goals in 9 games, in a standard worse than the Championship! So give there fans time Goat and they might not even want him to stay anyway!
Thanks for that, I needed a giggle today 👍🤣

11 Mar 2024 19:19:11
Unfortunately for whatever reason Wolves paid this huge transfer fee for Fabio plus I believe a good wage. For that amount of money he should be delivering and we can't use his age as an excuse any longer. As mentioned above he's probably found his level and are Rangers even paying his full wages? Also not sure they could afford his transfer fee assuming Wolves don't want to make a massive loss on him. Having seen Frasier play I suspect Fabio would be behind him now in the pecking order. I wouldn't suggest Fabio didn't 'put in a shift' as MM used to say, but he either wasn't good enough, or our style of play didn't suit him. Another Patrick Cutrone comes to mind.

11 Mar 2024 21:17:10
Yet another youngster who actually wants to be at the club and is trying the fans are right behind him, the lads name is Fraser, he didn't cost £35million (not Silvas fault) and he doesn't think he is bigger than the club,
Silva stated a few times before getting loaned he didn't want to be at Wolves.

11 Mar 2024 23:03:19
As if to prove my point you call him a precious little soldier, In my book that’s abusing him. Grow up and stop acting like a bully. Plenty of people have been saying he’s not good enough, same as they said about hwang and others that have stepped up recently. Some players need time and support, they are human after all, it’s a bit shortsighted to simply say they aren’t good enough. Look at de bruyne, he hadn’t found his level by 21. And why don’t Neto and Gomes get the same treatment, well they were a lot cheaper than silva. So less expectation on them. I can also tell you bullysboy that he’s score 4 in 13 mostly from the bench and set up a few and some of those have been in Europe which is a bit better than the championship. Is that a good enough response for you, or are you going to laugh at my comments again. As I stated some fans were on his back so fair enough that he wants to stay were he is, is it ok to have that opinion or do you want to belittle me some more.

12 Mar 2024 06:32:32
Neto and gomez would be worth fabios wages goatmark, they give their all. Fabio, unfortunately, got thrown in due to jiminezs injury and sadly wasn't up to it. Age, experience etc were understandingly given as reasons and time out given to learn more. He bulked up, he scored some goals and got into the portugese U23s squad. Now at rangers with a number 7 shirt, not the ridiculous 9 of wolves and expectations it carries, he still isn't a regular starter. He is on record as saying he wanted away from wolves, and I believe we want shot of his wage bill, recuperating some of our outlay in the process.
Sadly I think his talent was over estimated at an early age and his ego has been inflated by the money spent on him. He's discovered he's not a prem team player and to some degree he'll be blaming things other than himself. He needs to join a 'rangers' level team where he can enjoy some success and be employed usefully.
That's not having a go at the lad, just being realistic.

12 Mar 2024 09:09:05
Think it’s just a matter of Wolves cutting their losses. Disasterous transfer that impacted massively on the club. I’m not apportioning blame but Silva needs to move on and Wolves need to cut losses so hoping he performs well at Rangers.

12 Mar 2024 10:34:38
Goat apologies if I've caused you offence but firstly I would suggest you don't take the posts on a forum quite so personally and secondly (to be frank) I am absolutely sick to my back teeth of hearing about how tough Fabios hand is! And I called him a precious soldier because YOU are suggesting that he is hiding in Scotland from the mean old Wolves fans which if true is as good a sign as any that he ain't up to the Prem! Also BTW where is all this abuse you speak of as well, cause I've been at most matches he's played in and not aware of him being regularly booed by our fans, do tell me when that was?
And sorry but if you think that calling a player out on his own petulant behaviour on a forum is being a bully to him then I feel you are SERIOUSLY over estimating the reach of this forum buddy! 😂
And I'm afraid your wrong on most of the rest, I genuinely believe Neto and Gomes could have also cost £30m+ and the fans still wouldn't give them stick you want to know why because they give there all EVERY match and don't blame the fans for their own limitations! You also say it's short sighted Goat but tell me this do you honestly believe that Fabio has ANY intention of actually playing for our club because nothing he has EVER said would suggest that he wants that?!
You also mention De Bruyne, who at 21 went to Bremen and scored 10 goals in his first season there (so already more in a season than Fabios managed despite being a midfielder)! Oh then you also mention Hwang and I agree he's come on leaps and bounds, can you tell me why Goat?! It's cause he's put in the graft with GON who is quickly getting a name for developing talent. Why then despite GON being the THIRD manager to spefically say he wanted to work with Fabio did Fabio yet AGAIN pubically push for a loan away?!
And here in lies my problem with Fabio, three managers have asked him to stay and earn his obscene wage and EVERY time he's very pubically said he'd prefer to go on loan (and he's done it pubically cause he knows it gives us little choice not to)! Think about that for a minute Goat, this lad is on a (reported) £60k a week but instead of wanting to stay and fight for a place and learn his trade all he wants to do is go to a second rate league where he can feel like a big man again! Sorry but that's pathetic and 21 ain't so young anymore so also not an excuse for such behavior! Like others have said in less time Frasier has shown FAR more commitment, FAR more effort and to be honest FAR more promise!
So I'm sorry if I offended you personally Goat, not my intention. But I'm not sorry for saying what I think about Fabio, the guys stolen a living from our club for too long whilst shamelessly telling anyone that will listen how much he doesn't want to play for us and I'm just entirely sick of it!
This wkend we will likely start a winger up front cause we are so short of numbers and whislt we do that Fabio will be earning one of our top wages for playing agaisnt lower league defenders, if that's what you want in our youngsters then fair enough but it's not for me!
Like you say yourself it's just my opinion so try not to take it personally eh 👍

12 Mar 2024 11:27:11
Fair enough bullysboy, I appreciate your response and yes I probably took it too personally. Just to be clear I didn’t say I want him back at wolves, I just said I can see why he wants to stay where he is, same as his previous loan, he’s playing and scoring so why would he come back especially with the expectations a lot of us have for him due to price etc. I’m fairly sure I’ve seen him get unjust stick on here but can’t give you an example. But I also feel he did put a lot of effort in when he did play for us, but unfortunately it didn’t work out for him. I suppose your right in what you say about his wages etc but again it’s not necessarily his fault he couldn’t live up to the hype.

12 Mar 2024 11:38:52
I don't know the Fabio Silva situation on whether he wants out or if its Gary O'Neil saying he needs to go on loan and learn his trade. What I will say is that the quality of the SPL is below that of the PL BUT the pace is quicker so Fabio will learn new aspects to his game.

As long as he's a registered Wolves player, I'll live in the hope that he'll come back in pre season and force his way into GONs plans.

12 Mar 2024 12:31:22
To say Fabio "Stole a living" is far-fetched. I'd bite anyone's hand off for that type of money. If my company wanted to over-pay me I'd accept it.

Unfortunately for FS I believe Jorge Mendes sold us a pup, there is no way he's worth 35m, so there was no due diligence on Wolves' part. So the issue is more Wolves than FS.
