The morning after, calming down a little now. A sorry state when Toti is our best defender, still confused how Agbadou managed to stay on the pitch for the whole game. Both Sa, Mosquera and Agbadou need time out of the side now, won’t happen unfortunately as VP will persist with them. I would prefer Doc, Santi and Johnstone. A lot of people are blaming VP, now he has a new contract don’t think we will be having a new manager anytime soon. Still not that calm obviously

21 Sep 2025 08:58:13
Apparently VP couldn’t decide who to leave out of the squad yesterday, Doc and Wolfe were his choices. Wolfe the defender who he picked to replace RAN. Think it quite easy to decide who to leave out, how about Hwang, Sa, Agbadou, Munetsi, Mosquera, Bellagarde.

21 Sep 2025 09:55:02
Thought Ranieri was the "Tinkerman" seems VP will be "Tinkerman 2" the way he he is chopping and changing the side. 5 games in; there needs to be a sign of improvement, yet we seem to have a weak spine. Conceding goals, getting opened up through the middle and few goals scored.

21 Sep 2025 01:27:51
I am still optimistic we will be fine to stay up, but I think a turnaround will be slow. I agree with many that Agbadou is not playing well. I think he needs to be benched for a couple of games to sort his head. Comments about Sa to be dropped are interesting since so many posters absolutely trashed Johnstone last year. I prefer Johnstone over Sa, because he is quicker, better to clear crosses around the box and better with his feet. I believe he would have punched the DCL header away and I also don't think he would have been beaten on the free kick. In place of Bellegarde I prefer Arias or start JSL with Tolu to see if they can start to mesh together.

I think all we have the moment NJ, is hope.

21 Sep 2025 07:09:27
I always believed that in recent years NJ, at some point in the season they will turn it around and survive at this level. I think we all hope for that to happen again this year but it's hard to see who's likely to lead that revival at the moment.

A lot of talent left again during the Summer with little evidence so far that their replacements, in the main, are good enough. Is it them, is it VP's team selection? It's hard to see the wood from the trees right now but the chances of us picking up any points during August and September always seemed remote to me and so it's transpiring.

Everyone will have an opinion of course but I think we all know the root cause of our progressive 'decline' or should do.

21 Sep 2025 09:16:09
Totally agree NJWolf.
For a long time now I’ve said we needed a replacement goalie and, having seen Johnstone in action recently, he IS the better choice.
Don’t know why Agbadou has lost his confidence but we need him as our rock at the back. Don’t like Toti and the jury’s still out on Mosquera.
What happened to our team spirit? 🙏

21 Sep 2025 09:25:43
The transfer window was our downfall, scrambling around in the last week and paying over the odds for inferior players. Krejci was offered to another club for almost half what we payed, clubs knew we are run by amateurs. Do they even scout players before doling out millions? We buy a centre half and play him in midfield yet we have a c/half who is a liability at the moment.

21 Sep 2025 11:05:51
Krejci was mainly a midfielder at Sparta and scored 13 then 8 goals in consequetive seasons before moving to Girona and playing at centre half. Bit like Saiss. Having said that I think my nan, who'd now be in her 130's, would do better than our three centre halves from yesterday!

20 Sep 2025 21:43:53
Not a regular poster, but I’ve really fallen out of love with football this because of Wolves. I really, really hope something changes, and quick. It’s mental how losing two players (Cunha and RAN) who were regular starters have completely ruined us thus far. I’m also frustrated that Arias, who was meant to be Cunha’s successor is a bench player currently, as well as Agbadou losing all the ability that he showed last season. There is no leadership in the team, of which players like Coady and even Dawson offered. I feel like we have no prem pedigree, in the sense that we have little prem experience. We were never going to get players who were the quality that just adapt, however, had we been savvy with players like Michael Keane from Everton, would maybe have made the difference? I can’t be certain that he would change it, but hope that others may feel that we could have been a bit more 442 in our transfer strategy, for which may have aided some of the players who haven’t played in the prem. Let’s hope things change. Up the wolves

20 Sep 2025 23:30:27
I think your right Rhuuud, the E and S summed it up perfectly at the end of the window. In the transfer window we lost 15 years worth of Prem experience and replaced them with a group of players that had not a single minute of Prem experience between um! Sadly I just don't think we are going to get away with doing that! 👍

21 Sep 2025 00:53:55
Messi has no Premier League experience.

21 Sep 2025 07:59:43
In a roundabout way you are right, Handsome. It's all about whether players are actually good enough and the majority of the recruits over the last couple of years simply aren't never mind poor 'old stagers' like Sa and Toti. Couple these facts with poor tactics/team selection and you have the perfect recipe for disaster aka relegation.

21 Sep 2025 08:51:58
True, but as stated in my post, my opinion is that he would fall into the category of player with such quality, that would adapt to the prem; however, players like that either cost a lot of money, or teams get lucky unearthing a gem- something it appears we lack currently.

21 Sep 2025 09:08:02
No way Messi can be compared with our lot. They are on a different planet to him!

20 Sep 2025 21:38:13
Months ago I said the club was run by people who don’t know their arses from their elbows. I’ve never been convinced about VP and weeks ago pointed out that the famous 6 in a row was against the bottom six teams at the time. (I got a bit of flak for that). If I can see the obvious surely it shouldn’t be beyond someone at the club. What a f**king embarrassment.

20 Sep 2025 21:10:29
VP says he doesn't know his best starting eleven. He better sort it out soon. Wolves are digging a hole they may not climb out of.From successive league wins to successive losses.Topsy Turvey at it's best. My friend gave me the latest Wolves shirt for my 77th birthday this week I have yet to wear it.

20 Sep 2025 22:05:39
VP is totally out of his depth with his tactics. Good teams can slow the game down and control play from the back but why does he think we can do it? GON tried it and failed and VP with this bunch of misfits will also fail.

20 Sep 2025 23:31:02
Drop sa and agbadou and we mite hav a chance.oh and vp aswell.the bloody fool

20 Sep 2025 20:13:41
Time to stop offering long term contracts worth millions and move to performance based pay. We may get relegated but we would have saved a fortune in paying out very little in wages which should suit Fosun. Fosun must shoulder the blame for a shocking summer more interested in selling than buying. Inept tactics and playing style or lack of must be the manager. Been to all the home games so far but won't be at the Everton game as I can't see who is going to turn things around on the pitch.

20 Sep 2025 20:04:44
Since NUNO left we've had 3
useless 'head coaches, since COADY left we've had several pointless 'leaders' . Both of these legends are needed RIGHT NOW Cheers FWAW.

20 Sep 2025 20:33:31
Coadys gone to Wrexham and they will likely be in the Prem next year (unlike us) so think it's very unlikely he'd even want to come back after the way the club treated him! Becoming a bit of a thing that isn't it, would seem that most people that work with Fosun wouldn't do so again what does that tell ya?! 😭

20 Sep 2025 21:02:34
More chance of us staying up, Preston.

20 Sep 2025 18:59:03
11 points is the total to stay under. What a record that will be. We could become the new Derby County.

All time lowest. What a shambles. At least he had his week with the players. Made no difference at all.

In fact they were worse. Time to let the kids have a go. Nothing to lose. Pereira says Mane is the next big thing. Don't know if I trust his judgement any more.

20 Sep 2025 18:58:30
Anyone still think we’re not going down?

20 Sep 2025 20:15:15
I still think we will survive.

20 Sep 2025 20:53:49
🙋🏼‍♀️ This guy

20 Sep 2025 22:43:03
NJ, Rince, what are you guys on?
We have no chance of staying up. Avoiding a humiliating points total has to be the aim now.
That and getting some new owners who will stabilise the club in the championship.

20 Sep 2025 23:54:15
I think we will survive and I’m happy to come back at the end of the season for the I told you so’s as long as I can do the same if we survive

20 Sep 2025 18:42:07
Everyone calm down. We will be fine. VP will sort the defense. I expect some changes in mid week vs Everton.

20 Sep 2025 20:21:55
The problem is that the defence was worse today than it has been the last two games. For your premise to be true things should be improving and that just isn't the case I'm afraid. We were unlucky against Newc but today we weren't, we didn't look like scoring often enough but they scored three fairly easily, not good enough at home against one of the weakest teams in this league! And to be honest I couldn't care less about the team against Everton, that's a cup game what mattered was a win (or even just not losing) today and we didn't even turn up! 😭

21 Sep 2025 11:15:23
BullysBoy ll just put a post on the Everton game not through yet have a read see what you think.
