Just when you thought it was safe to enjoy a Thursday evening, Sky come along and spoil the party.
On the plus side, if Wolves do slip to another traumatising nil-pwa we should all have sufficient recovery time to enjoy the weekend.
That’s something right?
I don’t need to tell you Leicester are flying high and after a few seasons of steady building, now look well set for promotion.
Much like Cardiff, they’ve suffered enough Championship football to warrant a crack at the Premiership. Good luck to them I say.
It’s tight for second place, with the likes of Hull, Palace and Middlesborough refusing to go away and Watford sneaking up on the rails.
So they need the points.
Fortunately for the Foxes, they boast a formidable home record with 10 wins from 14 matches and only 2 defeats.
An already strong squad has been further bolstered by the acquisition of Albion forward Chris Wood. He’s hit the ground running and poses a real threat.
Wolves
I’m hoping that by the time Wolves come out the tunnel at the Walkers Stadium, my preferred lineup will have been rendered obsolete by a flurry of new signings.
Or is that foolishly optimistic?
It’s not surprising that Richard Stearman has packed his bags for Ipswich, but should we really be loaning a player to a relegation rival? Selling him to get some cash maybe, but a loan? I’m not sure what that achieves.
Anyway, assuming we have the same pool of players to choose from as Blackpool minus Roger Johnson, this would be my team:
Batth should be given his chance if Johnson’s ban isn’t overturned. I remain unconvinced from the glimpses I’ve seen that he’s significantly better than what we’ve got, but he deserves a proper run in the side to prove he can be.
If Zubar isn’t crocked, he must play right-back and it’s a toss-up between Foley and Ward on the opposite side. No real preference for me. That would be an area we’ll almost certainly see filled by a new arrival (you would hope).
It’s got to be five across the midfield.
Doyle was a passenger against Blackpool, so by dropping him and bringing in Davis, we can free up Sako, O’Hara and Peszko to get forward and support a lone forward.
That lone forward should be Siggy for me. He’s yet to enjoy an extended run in the side and what do we have to lose by giving him a chance?
Predictions
15 people correctly predicted doom against Blackpool.
The following 6 of those got the scoreline too for maximum points, so well done to: westozwolf, ash k, timberwolf, MrAussieWolf, Old Goldy and me.
It’s a single for the other 9.
Against all my better judgment I think we might take something from this game. Not confident enough to go all out though.
1-1
Up The Wolves.
I can’t see anything other than a Wolves loss at present.
Leicester 3 – 1 Wolves
Just read tonight Express & Star apparently Premier League clubs have been enquiring about 4 or 5 Wolves players, oh yeah Bank’s Premier. I see Moxey and Saunders have been churning out the bull shit and Tim Nash and Martin Swain have been lapping it up as usual. Premier League clubs I ask ya !
Oh yeah and Sauders has imposed his on deadline for bids for Wolves players. I hope it’s till 2112 that way we might stand a chance of of loading 1 or 2 of the slackers by the sound of that everyone up for sale even the players we should be keeping like Sako ?
Lester 5-0 wolves
3-0 to leicester , more gloom.
What’s the story with Zubar’s injury?
It was bizarre, the ref seemed to come over to him and convince him he was injured and for the physio to come on.
He didn’t seem to be struggling too much until that point.
after a month off booze this is the event i’ve chosen to break my fast.
hopefully i will be celebrating rather than drowning my sorrows.
i’m gonna predict a Wolves win, just because i’m looking forward to a pint that much that nothing can dampen my spirits.
2-0 the lads. we’ve got to win one eventually…

You picked the wrong month, I always do it in Feb only 28 days.
did that dryathlon thing for cancer research. never again! that first sip is gonna taste so good!
1-4 to the foxes.
we are shit, and we know we are.
Sadly the Foxes are a much better side than us. A national embarrassment via Sky and a 4 -0 drubbing.
Leicester 2-0 Wolves. And that’s me being optimistic.
Agree cant see us having the fight for Leicester away 2-0 to the foxes
Can’t see anything but a rout.
Leicester 3-0 Wolves
4-0 to Leicester
Which will be particularly annoying as I live in Leicester and will be with friends in with the home fans. Ps Is anyone else happy that at least with Johnson’s red card a change in playing staff will occur!
yes, couldn’t agree more. pity it had to come to that for Baath to get a chance but…
*Batth, apologies Punctuation Wolf
Punctuation Wolf can get stuffed
Sorry PW, i apologise for that, i meant get stuffed!!!!!
brilliant…:) !
Capital B mate, come on… tsk
is the commer ment to be tHere tho? when you say after mate stitchy ..hes watching you know before hes off to pre school old punky!
After Frantic Friday etc it could be Traumatic Thursday.
Like the look of the team Thomas. Sit back and hit them on the break with Siggys pace.
Haven’t got one right in ages so my warped logic suggests Leicester 4 Wolves 1 and hopefully that prediction will result in a win for us.
Agree can’t see point in loaning Stearman for reasons you gave but also because RJ is out for 3 matches now so we need a bit of cover. With Ward and possibly Zubar carrying knocks I just don’t understand the logic of this move – so what changes? Perhaps we’ll have two new full backs and a centre back in by Thursday – although it loooks like it won’t be Warnock.
followed only by Forlorn Friday when we’ve signed no one…
JAMES Collins is a possible transfer target for Wolves. West brom is also interested, so Saunders better tie him up faster than light. If we could get in Sunderlands Wickham on a loan deal, our striking department would freshen up considerably. Two strikers with which will be a handful for every defence in championship. Of course there is a question mark on Wickham since he’s only played matches for the Sunderland reserves. From what I’ve seen on youtube, videos from a couple of years ago, when he played in championship, he’s a complete striker ala Fletcher.
1-3 victory to the Wolves
Would love to see James Collins, the ginger minger, at Wolves. A no nonsense winner who doesn’t suffer fools, in his own team, gladly. Sadly I cannot see it happening. He’s doing a job at WHU and could do a job for a number of premier sides. Mmmmmmmm, Collins and Warnock would give a bit of steel and experience. No Karlir, we’ll get some Brentford reserve or unattached journeyman nearing the end of their career – that way you don’t have to spend much.
I think its Swindon’s James Collins we’ve been linked with, not the WHU version.
Oh Hell – thought it was too good to be true! Thanks for pointing that out to me Jack – not seen it yet.
actually, it’s jackie collins, as everything else that comes out of moxey and morgan’s mouths is a work of complete fiction
Leicester 3-0 Wolves.
We’ve looked so drab of late, I can’t help but predict a Leicester win. 3-0 to the Foxes. It seems like a lifetime ago that I sat and watched the reverse fixture in a Brighton pub, leaving full of optimism that we could be on for an automatic return to the Premier League.
Will you be in a Brighton pub for this one? We’re thinking The Eddy…
I won’t be, I’m afraid. I live in Horsham, so will be there for this one. My optimism isn’t as great as it was back on 16 September!
why are we loaning players to relegation competitors ? ie Stearman to Ipswich? No club in their right mind loans players to teams around them. ??
Truly the club has lost the plot.
5-0 Leicester.
yeah youd think wed have given him to them along with over a dozen others…we are truly clueless!
2-0 Foxes – can’t predict anything else! With expectations so low though it’ll be bloody atypical for us to get a result now!
I’ve lost the will to engage in much if any banter.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again……Drop Doyle and SEB and give Sigurdarson a start.
That is the only way I can see us posing any threat to Leicester. I truly believe the kid has it, he just needs a chance and some creative support to shine.
Can’t seem able to predict a loss…doesn’t feel right.
Leicester 2 – Wolves 3.
I’m with you in finding it hard to predict this inevitable defeat . However :
Foxes 0 Wolves 1
There is no good news associated with our club. What a year of doom it has been.
I fear the worst for Thur.
Leicester 3 Wolves 0
UTW literally
Like your team, Thomas, but I don’t think Saunders will start Sigurdarson as he didn’t even want to bring him on as sub on Saturday until it was too late to make a difference. And I have a horrible feeling that if Ward’s fit he’ll play Foley in midfield in place of Peszko. So it’ll be the same dross as before with the exception of an inexperienced centre back to cope with Chris Wood. Why let Stearman go when we need cover in that position. Does Margreitter even exist or is he just a fictitious twitter account?
Also and I hate to say this, but I think Sako needs a rest. He’s been more or less ever present this season and the strain is starting to show.
Sum total of our transfer dealings: Nouble has slipped quietly away, and Stearman has gone out on loan. Warnock wants too much money. And – er, that’s it. Next thing is that they’ll ship out all these fancy-dan foreigners that Stale brought in, and leave us with our good honest British and Irish boys.
Not sure I can stand much more of this.
Excellent comment Adrian – Sako is knackered and not worth his place at the moment. I would love to see Siggy and Pezsko get a run in the team – two genuinely exciting players who love to get forward quickly. I felt that Pezsko was our best player on Saturday – his speed of thought was too much for some of our plodders. We also need to break the morose attitude of the team, too many of the old guard no longer ‘believe’ , they are defeated before they run out onto the pitch. I have warmed to Johnson recently though – at least he seems to have some passion running through his veins. I still think that we should be too good to go down, but we must ward against complacency, or it will happen…
I fear we will do nothing of any significance in the transfer window – another opportunity for change gone…
We have turned down a bid for SEB AND WAIT FOR IT…….WARD!
Leicester 4 Wolves 0.
And our left-back would then be…?
Anybody but Steven Ward
In a state of abject apathy to all things Wolves at the moment I predict an astonishing away win
Lester 1 – 3 Wolves
There’s no way Collins would come to wolves ..he s one of the best centre half s in the premier league , if he was available there would be a que , as for warlock ,, am I the only one that’s glad we did nt get him . How many times have we booed that dirty donkey down the mol. A left back yes , but not just anyone that’s available , we need to change the team but carefully as we have got some good players
No signing’s, no passion, no hope 4-0 to Leicester, ex WBA Wood to pile on the misery with a brace.
Our only solace is ‘Out of darkness cometh light’ surely it can’t get much darker than relegation to league 1?
Sadly div one is not the darkest as there is more below!!
For me, there is absolutely no logical reason for a league game on a Thursday, therefore in my book, the result will not count.
That is the only way we will not get beaten!!
Actually, I’m waiting until the last minute for my prediction, coz I eagerly await the multitude of signings and sellings which are, as we speak, being done behind closed doors in the Molineux corridors of power!
I expect the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Van Persie, Rooney etc to be seeking transfers to our mega club, where they will play for a pittance, or nothing, whichever is less, just for the pleasure of seeing the joy and amazement on our long suffering faces.
However, my head tells me that when those illustrious players have signed for us the likes of Ward, Foley, Henry, Berra etc will keep them rooted to the bench, ……………..so we might as well not sign them in the first place!!
greasel logic 101.
Same players, inexperienced manager, no ambition, poor decisions, low morale … nothing has changed really …
Leicester 2 – 0 Wolves
gowolves unfortunately the change is an ever-worsening one
cant believe all the goings on at the excuse for a football club…im just waiting for manuel to come out onto the p[itch thursday with basil chasing him round and round with a frying pan! red leicester 3-1 arses…just a thought deano-i know it says on the door not to ..but how about leaving the team outside a charity shop after the match…its what i do with all my unwanted crap. just a thought
For all of you out there who thought Ian Holloway was a good manager, he’s just shown his talent for spotting a good prospect by offering a million for Sylvan McDonalds Blobby Blake!!
Take the money and run!!
And someone, who is too ashamed to admit it, has made an offer for Ward.
Give him taxi fare and a keg of Guiness and have him out of there toot sweet!
And poor old Roge, our die hard center half, having his ban upheld. Pity it wasnt extended to 6 games. Still, more pub time for him, so not all is lost, some lucky landlod gonna get richer!!
Read on the E & S site, all the bloggers telling Morgan what to do to save us from relegation, blah, blah, blah.
No one has got it yet.
HE DOESNT FUCKIN’ CARE.
He’s got the parachute money, he’s got the transfer funds from the summer, he’s got his war chest….and all he is going to do is add more for himself.
Sell Blobby, and thats greasel’s bonus taken care of.
Sell Ward, and thats another tank of petrol taken care of.
Give away defenders on loan to fellow relegation teams, and thats relegation taken care of, with the halving, again, of players wages, more money saved.
The picture on the electronic E & S site of Johnson ‘s red card, with rows and rows of empty seats in the background, is more damning than words can say.
Dead Team Walking.
Great blog Clive -Treeman
” Dead Team Walking ” Nice one Clive, you’ve hit the nail right on the head, there.
This is a big, big game. The performance against Blackpool was so abysmal that Saunders will surely be forced into making a change. If so, it will be a chance for some of the second string to get a game and show whether they can save us from the drop. Would love to see Tom’s line-up from the start. If, god-forbid, Saunders keeps the same line-up, it will show we’re in for more of the same in this dreadful season and will probably go down.
Guess 4-0 loss
bang on the money that.
Wolves have to win sometime? Trouble is, it won’t be on Thursday. Leicester 4 Wolves 0.
Leicester 2-Wolves 2.Thats what i predict,don’t ask me how or why but thats it.
Very disappointed with whats not happening down the mol,with no signings
that seems to be the norm now with wolves all talk no action.
Can’t believe we refused an offers for wardy and blake,especially blake who can walk for nothing come the summer and ward i’d pay to get rid of him.
Deano’s starting to piss me off with some of his statements,or is it moxey’s words spewing out of deano’s mouth,don’t know what to think.
This club is a laughing stock.where’s the £170,000,000 gone morgan in the last 3 years.
REDROW .
The wacky world of Wolves just gets more unbelievable every day. It is so bad its almost funny. Agree entirely with Adrian re Margreitter, he’s more invisible than the Invisible Man wrapped in clingfilm. I hear that historians are also taking note of a mysterious mass migration from the Black Country to East Anglia, known as the Great Talentless Tractor Trail. Sadly, Foxes to eat Wolves at the Crispbowl, but you never know…
I have a theory that the Margreitter- Mouyokolo combination is a ‘dream team’. Pace, poise, height and strength at the centre of the defence.
The only problem is that neither of them is ever fit enough to pull on a shirt…
(Maybe I should stop drinking…?)
Mouyokolo is now no longer a wolves player either. Another one let go by contract cancellation by mutual consent.
Trimming the £’s it seems.
The club really are taking us for a ride
So, the dream is over…….
Just heard saunders say the club had turned down offers for ward and blake. That means someone has offered money for ward and it is not enough. I would love to know how much the club, with all its footballing wisdom, financially value ward.
I predict a gnashing of teeth and wails of despair from the mongers of doom.
Wolves 1 Leicester 0
2-0 to Leicester
Leicester 3 -1 Wolves….please spend some money on quality….please.
I’m going with 4-0 to the foxes.
The wolves have lost their bite.
For the love of god Deano. STOP playing Doyle and SEB up top. Doyle has been anonymous all season. How many goals has he got? 5? From how many games? 29!? Good god. That’s one goal every 6 games!?
4-5-1 with Sigurdarson up top for me too.
What is it about Siggy that’s not getting him a start? Cassidy has started over him? He’s definitely the fastest forward we’ve got at the club. That in itself should be enough to get him a start with the 2 lethargic forwards we’ve been playing lately. Just being able to hit on the break is surely a much better plan than whatever we’ve been watching lately….
This whole clubs gone mad. Morgans made a complete shambles of this season.
“Where’s the money gone?”
Ok, were all down – I get it. If you want year after year success then follow the team in red. Life has its ups and downs and football reflects this ……………and just when you are about to give up hope……………….the tide turns.
A performance from nowhere that makes you proud and reminds you… you are wolves!
Leicester 1 Wolves 3
You read it here first.
I’m with you on this one. Ikeme back on form Sako stays and scores.
Leicester 0 Wolves 1
i really hope you’re right mate
or
where do you get your gear from? can i get the number?
not on the drugs yet mate but tbh if we go down this season it will the bitterest pill I’ve had to swallow for quite some time.
5 wins, come on, just 5 wins
Can I have a pint that your on.
Have a look at Leicesters’ home record.A goal difference of +22.I can see a a right hammering coming. Stearman is joining his old gaffer-bloody good riddance; talk of SEB leaving(denied on twitter by DS).They’ve turned down an offer for Ward ? What !!!!!!!! Somebody,please take him and while your at it,add Johnson,Hunt,Berra,Foley and Henry please,please,please.If it all wasn’t so bloody annoying,it would be funny.
Leicester 4 Wolves 0
A game on a Thurs, what’s that all about ??
I can only see one outcome to this match, a thrashing for us. It pains me to say it but the only hope we have of getting anything from the game is if the Foxes think it’s a mid week training match under floodlights, their sharpshooters get in each others way, their back 4 leave the tackling to each other and the midfield just have a bad day/night.
At the Mol, earlier in this disastrous season, we were playing well and we were lucky to get the result that we did get, so based on that logic and we’ve got worse and they’ve gone from strength to strength, we are in for a hiding.
I don’t wish to predict the score to this one.
I see our CEO is up to his tricks again, taking potential transfers in and out, right up to the wire in the hope of screwing an extra 50p or so on the fee. It might work but there again we could be left with the same old faces who to be fair need a new challenge. I can only summise that regardless of what happens out, it will not affect the quality of players coming in. Oh dear why am I so naive ???
On a previous blog I was shouting the praises of DS. My opinion hasn’t changed and it’s good that he knows what he’s up against so early into his tenure with a s**t team and a pair of bungling incompetents that you wouldn’t wish on your most hated team. In 3 days he’ll know how successful he’s been, or he’ll see what a soul destroying challenge he’s let himself in for.
Cometh the hour cometh the man.
As ever UTW !!!!
Dismal 3-0 loss I’m afraid. Forget all your hopes of positive team changes-It’ll be Ward back to fitness and left back, Foley back to right mid, probably Davis in for an injured O’Hara and Doyle still up front!
The match will be shown by this Bulgarian TV station and usually on such occasions I’m up in the local pub, enjoying my drinks, cracking jokes etc.
I don’t dare to go on Thursday. No need for further embarrassment. Everything that’s going on with this club is well beyond all comprehension.
Foxes 4-1 Wolves
be very surprised if we’re not mauled.
i see Warnocks chosen Leeds, Scotlands gone to Barnsley and we’re holding onto SEB. The farce continues………
Scotland scored for Barnsley tonight..
They are now 5 points behind us.
Like you Thomas I’m not sure about any ins or outs to predict a team. Gut feeling is we won’t sign anyone, buts that’s no surprise and Moxey will blame the fact that the time taken up by this Thurs night game has hampered our focus on signing 3 top notch,quality players. In your dreams ALL.
I thought at first it might be a UEFA tie .. then I woke up. It’s a 3 – 1 defeat I’m afraid. After which we will be well and truly in the relegation mire. FOMAM.
Wolves win 6-0 Berra and Doyle get three each, Ikeme saves two spot kicks and Henry gets man of the match for most completed forward passes.
Sorry, been sniffing the Tipex again……
Can only see a 3-0 drubbing and the torment of watching it.
What is the point of a prediction anyway.
We know we are going to lose
Deano wants to cut the squad down
We need to move all Micks old crowd on because they not playing for the club anymore
And we turn down money for fatty Blake and useless Ward
The world’s gone mad….
Yeah – this is the bit I don’t get. e need to sell and cut wage bill but when we get offers we turn them down.
It also enables Moxey to run the window right down. Woeful Wednesday today and only tomorrow to go. There’s no one coming boys . . . . . but we all knew that in September.
cant really see much of a result on this one , going for leicster 2 wolves 0
The Boardroom Howlers
Roxie: Boss! Boss! (phew) I’ve line up some transfer targets for Thursday:
Navvy: Not now Roxie,can’t you see i’m busy…oh all right who are they!?
Roxie: Well lets see, there’s Mo, Curly, Larry…and a bloke called Spencer…Frank Spencer.
Navvy Sounds expensive!
Roxie: Well I’m told they’re the sort of players who’ll bring the of experience, talent and leadership to the team we’ve been lacking!
Navvy How much
Roxey: Um lets see…£10 the lot!
Navvy: Blood hell that’s what this whole shebang cost me!
Roxie: Yes but at least we’ll have one up on McFarty and Tractor Town when they buy all our players!
Navvy: MMM… you’ve got a point…Get on to those four players’ agents and buy em!
Roxie: Your wish is my command boss!
Navvy: By the way Roxie… can you find out what sort of discount the local tour bus company will give us to run Beano and the boys to Shrewsbury Town and back next year…
Roxie: Sure Boss! Things are gonna get worse before they get better!
Leicester 2 Wolves1
I’ve just heard we are signing two new strikers…Joan Colllins and Stephanie Beacham. They have more nuts between them then most of our sloppy seconds.
Downhill from here…
Leicester 3-0 Wolves
We’ve received an offer for Stephen Ward and we’ve turned it down. Just when I was thinking things couldn’t get any worse.
So the club are telling us we have too many players, we need to sell before we can buy but we receive an offer for a useless centre-forward that has been filling in at left-back for four relegation campaigns and we turn it down. McCarthy’s beloved Stephen ‘back away’ Ward, like Karl ‘plus ten’ Henry and Kevin ‘knock me down with a feather’ Doyle has been holding us back for years and even in these dire straits we can’t get shot of him.
I’m picturing McCarthy and Connor sat around the table contemplating targets in bygone windows: Ooh we can’t sign another LB, he might be better than Wardy, ooh thank god that Frimpong got injured he was showing our Karl up for fraudulent imposter that he really is, I think we should sign that Eggert Jonsson that should secure our Karl’s place for another few years. Ooh we can’t sign a big imposing striker who might actually score when we’ve got Doyler running around like a blue-arsed fly and falling over at the first sign of physical contact. Let’s sign that Leigh Griffiths. He makes our Doyler look quite the physical type.
In the case of Doyle and Henry, they have been living off the back of former glories for far too long. In the case of Ward, I’m struggling to remember any. A goal against Liverpool. Bloody hell it was a long time coming and my god we’ve paid for it.
Failure of the manager to sign half-decent players who might actually challenge his ever-present favourites, failure of the club to appoint a director of football to challenge those decisions and failure to spend any decent money in any of the critical transfer windows. It’s well and truly coming home to roost now.
As predicted, Solbakken’s sacking was perfectly timed to minimise investment in players. Another transfer window comes and goes and, if anything, it looks like we’re going to be once again marginally worse off at the end of it than we were at the start of it.
I really hope that it was Ipswich that came in with an offer for Ward. It would be ironic if McCarthy was finally deprived of his beloved companion by his own failure to sign any half-decent competition. Unfortunately, spite would not be enough to silver-line this particular cloud. The club yet again fails to invest in decent players, continues to pay the wages of the inadequates, Ward, Henry and Doyle remain ever-present and, I’m sorry to say, we are going down. I hope I’m wrong. In the words of the late, great comedian Bill Hicks “I don’t mean to sound cold, bitter or cruel… but I am so that’s how it come out”.
Loving that Bill Hicks quote, wwwebs. The rest of your blog’s not too shabby either.
If he plays Doyle up front on his own which I’ve got a feeling he will do to try and get a point we have no chance. Think he will also pack the midfield to try and stop them playing. Either way I think we will lose it just a matter of by how many.
4-5-1, flood the midfield so no-one gets through and the back 4 only have to deal with old fashioned long balls in the air or hoofed into space. Hit them on the break.
Just the type of match to see what Batth, Siggy and Davis are really made of and whether Henry, O’hara and Doyle can still cut the mustard. If this game against the Foxes doesn’t get them giving 100% then we’re all doomed Mr M.
I can’t see any other way of getting anything from this game.
As ever UTW !!!!!
Even all our new signings can’t get us a win.1-1 is as good as it gets here. Nice to see Moxey has spent this transfer window again peering out thru a crack in the curtains, like some oap you know is there but you never see. Wanker
with the spiel coming from DS, it’s obvious this job is beyond his abilities. Effing clueless – my cat could do better. Here puss!
Wow, you’ve dismissed DS and he’s only been here about 3 weeks. He’s been dropped into the biggest pile of s**te he’s ever seen and you are questioning his ability. We all know who the culprits are for our demise and DS is not one of them.
Got to tell you lot this.It’s our kids’ birthday today,so I send him the early morning text ‘Happy Birthday,many more of ‘em,have a good one ,etc. ‘Cheers’,he replies.Tells me what he’s doing today;day off work,out with the family for a meal and a few pints;nice pressy from his missus and from his daughter, the Wolves home and away shirts.’Nice’,I reply.’Thanks’,he says;I’ll have to wear them in the dark’.
Leicester 3 Posers 0
Fuck off Morgan, fuck off Moxey.
Wolves to be losing again, perhaps 4-0
Ok chaps, I’m mad, insane, cookhoo and off my rocker. Upset of the year. Wolves 1 da Foxes 0. We’ll win this game and everyone will say “we are on our way back to the top of the table” unfortunately, it’s not true but I still say a Victory for the boys from the Black Country…
I admire your bravery and they say hope springs eternal, I have what your drinking make it a double?
I see Bristol City had an impressive win last night with their first clean sheet since April 2012. Now just 5 points behind us and with a game in hand after we lose tomorrow night no doubt.
Who’s their manager again? Oh yeah Sean O’Driscoll. Highly experienced, excellent record with very little funds, years of experience in the championship and renowned for his style of football.
Never considered for our vacancy even though he was available at the time.
It doesn’t make sense, there must have been some logical reason for ignoring him. Oh i know, born in Wolverhampton with old gold and black in his veins.
Much better a Welsh scouser who wouldn’t ask any awkward questions. Like ‘Can i have some money please?’
Bids rejected for Curtis Davies and Marlon King.
Excuse me for feeling underwhelmed.
I think Curtis Davies would be a good signing, particularly for this division. Would take him in a heartbeat.
King is a funny one because nothing about him excites me, but as a short term fix to help us avoid the drop, he could be useful. Always scored goals in this division.
There are quite a few who doesn’t want him here based on what he’s done in the past, and truth be told he does seem to be a bit of a prick… however as long as he does well for us if he is signed I won’t have too many complaints…
Saunders wants Ebanks-Blake to sign a new contract. When you think it cannot get any worse ……
Saunders says his short list is getting shorter by the day. In other words its a blank sheet.
Think there’s going to be a fire sale and he will be left with bare bones and disinterested players.
Nothing much changes then-coffers will be overflowing.
Moxey the puppet master strikes again. Bet Morgan is out of the country.
I think we’ve known this for ages. The centre backs who didn’t come last summer showed us that any money spent would be limited in relation to what we had received.
Davies would be useful. I don’t understand King. He is hardly one for the future – long or short term. SEB has been poor but he is an out and out finisher who relies on good service which he hasn’t had. SEB is also still relatively young and could still improve with the right coaching and with better service. You can’t say the same about King.
Even leaving SEB out of it, why not Cassidy or Siggy? Is King really that much better than what we have? Boukari is nearing full fitness and can play as a striker. They all have youth on their side.
I don’t understand what Sig has to do to get a game. He won’t gain experience unless we play him. We are all saying he has pace and that allows us to use him to hit sides on the break while playing 5 in the middle of the park. That is a sensible set up with our defence. You can always bring on another striker if needed.
Totally disillusioned with Dean I’m afraid. I can’t see us going anywhere under him – we’re just marking time until the next manager.
We’ve been marking time for a bit longer than since DS has been here and there lies the problem. Not so long back we had a policy of buy ‘em young, lean and hungry. It worked well for us to get out of the CH last time, but these players are no longer Y,L and H. They’re 3 or 4 years older now and some of them need moving on, it’s as simple as that.
How on earth you can be disillusioned with a chap who has only been here 3 weeks, I don’t know. Surely he needs a bit longer to establish himself here, he doesn’t deserve to be blamed for the inactivity within the club. I’m sure he’s doing his best to try and sort it out whilst deciding which players he keeps to build HIS new team around.
As ever UTW !!!!
I agree with you 100 per cent why by another striker when we have 2 young hungry strikers keeping the bench warm for Doyle makes no sense Saunders not trust them or what the only way you will really find out Dean is by playing them and not 10, 20 minutes here and there they need a couple of games or more to get into there stride.
I also reckon the “scouse mouse” is away. Probably raise his ugly mug again, when we’re in the 1st Div. As for his suppository, I’m just guessing!!!!!!!!!
A turgid 0 – 0.
Reports say Wolves have bid for King and Davies rejected. The truth is Moxey puts in a low bid and then when transfer window ends he says we tried to bring players in. Its just spin.Moxey gets a bonus when we are promoted, does his salary decrease when we are relegated?
AC Ajaccio have announced the signing of defender Ronald Zubar from Wolves
Zubar’s gone… Time to spend some money on some full backs
Curtis Davies. Fix our defensive problems a bit? Think the lads got a bit of athleticsm about him?
Have we signed anyone yet or released anymore workshy overpaid dickheads
Is there anyone who feels optimistic or positive about this once great club’s future ? I for one do not. We seem to be, without a doubt, a club in decline. How can that be when we are financially sound ( if anyone can get to the bottom if the club’s finances ) with money to spend ? Isn’t that what makes the situation even more exasperating; knowing that something could be done to prevent what feels like an inevitable slide into the abyss without hope of a reprieve ? If only those that wield the power had the will or motivation or cared about WWFC’s plight enough to do something positive, take action, be dynamic, give us some sliver of hope.
Days after Saunders announced that cancelling players contracts was “not an option” otherwise “they’d all want it”, we read that Zubar joins Ajaccio after having his contract cancelled by mutual consent. You couldn’t make this stuff up. It seems its not only on the pitch that there’s a lack of consistency.
I picked up on this too – a total contradiction.
Why Zubes? He’s been a breath of fresh air down the right in recent games. He seemed to be an automatic choice for DS. We’ve also got rid of Stearman so we have just Foley left – kinda leavbes us a bit bare. I just wonder what the fc*k is going on here – none of it adds up.
I meant to add – didn’t we turn down £1.8M for him at the start of the season. Now, 4 months later we cancel his contract – What the fc*K is that about?????
Steve, please explain the rationale behind recent decisions – none of us have a fc*k*ng clue where this is meant to get us – other than division 1.
Amazing. Could we not have got anything for zubar. Even £500k???!!!?? Strange things happening at wolves. It makes no sense, unless they have some big name players lined up on big wages and they need to reduce wage bill asap.
Just sick of it all, the predictability of policy stupidity!
sick to distraction in just 4 months the club has been fucked over and the dregs remain
Zubar is the last of Thomas’s mavericks – well, apart from Hamill if he’s still with us.
Why are we getting rid of flair and keeping the journeymen?
Goodbye Ronald, Nenad and Adlene – welcome back Stephen Hunt and Dave Edwards.
Seems a long, long time ago but we actually beat this lot 2-1 earlier this season. I recall the scoreline was a bit of a joke, we could have easily lost by 5 or 6. Since then they have strengthened, and well, we haven`t. Zubar gone, and with our only pacey defender now back with MM, how on earth will we cope with our very pacey opponents.
I don`t think we will, even with playing two holding midfielders. I hope I`m wrong but I smell another poor result, 3-0 to Leicester, and we become even more of a laughing stock. Deano – you have your work cut out son.
Not looking forward to this at all. Leicester 4-0 winners and no new arrivals during this window.

Keep it real mate that’s Division 3 you are talking about, no matter what they are called it’s still the third tier od English football. The Bahatti’s in disguise that’s all these 2 clowns are. I’m fed up to the back teeth with the whole shebang, ant at 6ft 6in that’s a lot of fed up. On top of all that I’ve got a Welsh mate who supports Shrewsbury my life won’t be worth living, but on the upside he will always be Welsh.
calling it the 1st was the only positive slant I could put on this crap situation the wolves are being steered towards – Apologies fellow manic depressive
So let me get this straight, in the summer we were offered 1.8m for Mr Zubar, it was then considered not enough for his silky skills…roll on 5 months and we cancel his contract by mutual consent???……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Sorry about that, I was just thinking of something to type which may explain why this has happened, unfortunately I am at a loss to explain this decision, no doubt the pieman will come up with some wonderful words on the subject whilst the ginger mute plays with his lego in the corner, planning how to spend the next parachute payment, but I, a lowly fan of twenty odd years just cant get my head around how this club is being run at the moment…good job the “professionals” are running things.
Phatman like you there’s a lot of angst in me I’m the same height as you.
The phrase “getting the wage bill down” seems to be the mantra this week.
Oh and “Jez is working on something…..”
WELL we know what that means, his great big fat bonus.pension pot and
off-shore accounts.
MOXEY OUT-MORGAN OUT.
Alfwhite the only thing he can be working on constructively is a pair of podgy scouse buttocks
Reading between the lines think DS is wanting to sell Doyle over SEB.
your probably right Alfwhite would it be any great loss if they both went
just another day in the big top!!!!! bring on the clowns..
What have you guys been doing?
I go away for a few days and the whole football club goes tits up!
Players given away and the only ones we seem interested in are over the hill plodders with criminal records as long as your arm.
I am seriously disappointed in you all.
How did Wolves bloggers allow this to happen?
Anyone would think that the club is being run by a bunch of morons who don’t give a toss about anything but making money for themselves.
Unbelievable!!!!
PS. Because you’ve all made such a mess of things I think we’ll lose against Leicester 3-1.
its a bloody mess doogy mate .. how can we fall so far in such a short time! ? under the bhattis it was hard but understandable but having been told how financially strong we were and how well run you have to wonder how it could happen…or been allowed to happen ..morgan you are crap at everything and moxey youy are a greedy f—– whos job in life is to fill his pockets with our hard earned. weve talked about it but we have to stay away for the love of the wolves .. glad their not in charge of anything like the country !!!!
Welcome back mate. Hope you had a better time than we did while you were away.
Cheers matey!
The present Mrs DOOGooder and myself had a BRILLIANT time thanks.
I thoroughly recommend a Nile Cruise to anybody – the Temples and The Valley of The Kings were spectacular, the ship was great, the food was excellent and the booze was unlimited and FREE.
If you can get over the fact that most of the natives are trying to part you from your money and/or buy your wife, it was perfect.
I was tempted but where would I put 500,000 camels? (don’t answer that Clive!).
For those who didn’t see also, we’ve cancelled Steven Mouyokolo’s contract by mutual consent. Now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play in a wolves shirt but it says a lot about the new direction the clubs going in.
Trim the £’s whenever possible. Turn a profit. Go on holiday. Relax in a deck chair and pat yourself on your fat scouse back about what a good job you’ve done.
Meanwhile gates will continue to fall…
Sorry Zubar is going. A magnificent sight charging down the wing, his defending could be heart stopping at times but he always played with his massive heart on his massive sleeve. And when he played well and especially if we had won he could have embraced us all in those massive arms.
Mouyokolo’s contract paid up too. Shame he was never fit.
I hope the majority of us are wrong!
But……..Leicester 2-0 Wolves
Really have nothing to add to what else has been said… Another loss tomorrow, another step towards relegation… Leicester 3 Wolves 0
Based on the current Mantra expect O ‘Hara to move back down South.
Why have we let Zubar go when we are in a relegation battle,what the hell are we doing.
Zubes was one of our better player’s i thought,have they all gone mad.
It seems to me that Moron wants to run this club into the ground lets face it he only bought it for a tenner and made £170 million out of it so whats he care.
he’s bought all the land around the mol + the compton plot, all he cares about is redrow and liverpool FC.
If he cared anything about wolves he wouldn’t of let us get dragged down so far.
I wish Sir Jack hadn’t sold the club to him the scouse git.
And Deano where’s all these premier player’s your trying to get not a mention we can’t even get champion-shite player’s to join us!!! so pissed off whats not happening down the mol.
WHAT A SHAMBLES… Its a pitty Robert Plant couldn’t get a consortium together and rid us of
this strangulation we are in.
Palace have bid £1.5 m for both Blobby and Wardhino, turned down.
so the exodus has begun the only problem is its the wrong players thats either gone or are likley to go,to add insult to injury suanders tells us we had a bid for ward and he turned it down what a joke.let zubar go keep ward and doyle great progress that as for tomorrow night i fear the worst reckon the joke of a manager we now have is likley to play without a striker and flood midfield and a back five in the hope of getting another great point as he seems to think this will get us out of trouble.why not sell hennessy sako ohara blake ikeme and plan for life in div 1,oh and i notice o drisscol won last nite well done morgan u got it wrong again get out now and let our great club recover from the wounds u and moxley have inflicted
You lot have convinced me. What was I thinking 1-0 to Wolves! (sticking to it but regretting it already)
The trouble is half those left by Mick et al have ready made excuses – they are still mourning sackings, still punishing us, still comforted by their sense of injustice.
Were not gonna sign anyone decent to shake this lot up are we? I guess its time a few kids turned into men. We live in hope.
If we sell Blobby Blake, can we FINALLY get rid of his fat arsed picture at the top of the blog?
Clive, thefirstrow.eu will be streaming if you want to watch th game tomorrow. Just start 20 mins or so before kick off and close the ads patiently. Being hasty will just bring more pop-ups.
If you get it right it’s usually a good Sky Sports stream.
Maximising the screen will put adverts to the back.
Unless that is the Richmond Arms has Sky? Then you”re sorted other than pint of Bonks’s Mild and a Balti Pie.
I’ll be at work so will probably miss the likely drubbing.
Wear the scarf (despite the temperature), it might just bring us all some luck.
Thanks, US.
How do you know the Richmond Arms?
Are you another sad bastard living in Houston?
It was cold enough last night for The Scarf!!
Not good. Not good at all.
Walkers 4 – 0 Wolves. National embarrassment.
Things are looking very dire. Even though this is when we have typically somehow conjured up a decent result, I just can not see it this week. Can’t see us scoring, can not keep a clean sheet…
Leicester 2 – Wolves 0
If we have 40 on the books could DS not appease us masses and give some of the other 29 a try. Somewhere amidst this 40 there must be the elements of a half-decent team. Siggy has to be given the chance to metamorph into the butterfly that most of us believe he is.
We will get well and truly played off the park. We are a shambles and the transfer window has not done anything to change that.
Leicester 3 Wolves 0
Dear Mr Morgan…
You were sold WWFC for £10 under the proviso that you invest £30 million into the club. The sale of Fletcher and Jarvis alone more than covers EVERY signing you have made since said purchase.
So my question to you is, when exactly are you planning to honour your end of the deal ? You have made tens of millions from television rights, and we all know that Wolves made a profit in the last 2 of the 3 premier league seasons too – so even with my poor grasp of mathematics it is clear you are using WWFC to supplement your business empire, leaving NOTHING for the club to survive on.
I suggest that £50 odd million return off a £10 deposit should be more than enough to satisfy your greed, and it is time to give us back our club. Please leave the keys with reception, get in your car, and drive back to Liverpool or any other place you might feel welcome… because you are no longer welcome here.
Yours Sincerely
Ad
Please leave the keys with reception, get in your car, and drive back to Liverpool or any other place you might feel welcome… because you are no longer welcome here.
Unless WWFC own the car in which case please leave the car keys as well and take a taxi to the station.
Dear Mr. Ad Mant,
I concur with every sentiment in your blog. Really cant believe that the growing anger at the total apathy displayed by all and sundry at our Wolverhampton Wanderers, is falling on stony ground. Munter and Bunter seem impervious to the supporters. We aren’t Wheel ‘em in’ Ship ‘em out supporters the like of Liverpool and the Mancs. Twiglets who go with the team that top the premiership. We have been moulded and groomed through years of ups and downs and at this juncture I am sick to the core, so sick that I cannot conjure any of the enthusiasm that we have nurtured through the years
i wonder if he will see that..i bet his spies see everything written on every blog… everything about the club looks great until you get to the reason we are called a club – bloody disgraceful!!1
I cannot recall a time when so many Wolves supporters were so angry/distraught about the direction the club is going in. the only comparable time for me is after a home defeat to Palace in the mid 90′s when the supporters (rightly, at the time) rounded on Jack Hayward.
Currently we have Morgan in charge who is clearly only interested in making money for himself, Moxey who will say ‘Yes, Steve’ to anything Morgan proposes in order to keep his excessive salary (and bonuses) rolling in and Saunders who is the ‘patsy’ put out there by the other two to simulate running a football club but given none of the (plentiful) resources to do so.
We are releasing good players who cost millions (Zubar) for nothing. Players who are injured (Moyokoulo) and are costing us NOTHING on the wage bill (clubs insure themselves against paying wages when players are injured) are released. We invite bids for players who are delivering some sort of performance (Ebanks-Blake) which will leave gaping holes in a squad which desperately needs strengthening. In the meantime we sign a kid from Newport County as ‘one for the future’ – just like Stearman, Keogh, Jonsson, Friend etc etc
i see Saunders has promised to build a team “ready to challenge for promotion next season”. Problem is, he doesn’t say from which division….
Leicester 5- 0 Wolves
The abuse of Sir Jack that day was a disgrace. He may have made mistakes but his heart was always in the right place, wanting to do the best for the club. Very different from today’s crew I would suggest.
I don’t deny that his heart is/was in the right place, (tho’ he is often incorrectly seen as the saviour of the club rather than the Council and Tony Gallagher). But at the time of the protest he had been the owner for +/- 5 years and it was going nowhere fast -stuck in mid-table mediocrity. So I can understand the frustration that was vented at him that day, tho’ by all accounts some of it went too far.
But I couldn’t agree more that he bears no comparison with the current mob.
Give Morgan and Moxey a break lads. They’re obviously thinking long term now. Started signing conference players more than 2 years before we start playing in it.
Leicester 4 Wolves 1
Looks like we have no cover at right back or left back now. Saving Stearman’s and Zubar’s wages for a few months. Baptiste? No thanks! The gap to the bottom three could be down to a couple of points.
Once again I would ask if he is any better than what we already have – Johnson and Berra? If we want cover for a central defensive position why loan Stearman? We have youth in Danny Baath – like Siggy, he deserves a run to gain experience. I wonder if the links to players are just spin coming from the club to look as if we are trying to bring somneone one, when in actual fact, we are not.
So far we’ve signed one lad for the academy. I didn’t expect much this window but begining to wonder if we’ll get anything.
Nothing last January window when we were staring relegation in the face, didn’t bring in all the players Staale wanted in summer when we hoped for an instant return to the premiership, little in this time when we are looking down the barrel again.
Yet again – I don’t understand why, when we are weak at the back we have loaned Stearman and cancelled Zubars contract. It isn’t as if we are selling them and yet we are trying to buy a centre back. Mystified.
Lee Evans from Newport, sound a right comic. Is that really the best we can do?
Perhaps he could do an impersonation of a footballer? There don’t seem to be many in the squad who can.
See we’ve turned down a bid for Ward from Forest, (or so we are told) – it will be interesting if he does go as I think Foley is the only full back we will have left then. Perhaps we can contact Ipswich to see if we can take Stearman on loan until the end of the season.
No no, according to Sgt Saunders we had 6 right backs before Zubes and Stears left. And surely 2 of them can play on the left.
Saunders is just another muppet.
You can’t script it can you?
Who have we bought?
Why, if we need to cut the wage bill have we rejected bids for SEB and Ward? Its another contradiction from the management.
We can’t let them go until we sign replacements but we can’t bring players in until we cut the wage bill . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it’s a joke.
Have you read the blurb from our captain on the everything is hunkydory Wolves site, that drivel should be accredited to Enid Blyton
Seems i was wrong with my ‘no new arrivals prediction’
Does anyone know anything about this Lee Evans bloke? We do need a bit extra in midfield but i didn’t see Newport Town as the place to get it!! Still, Kights and Jarvis didn’t come from the top flight so who knows!!
Never mind wasting all day on here. Its your turn at scrabble!
No idea what team we will put out tonight, depends on who is left/available.
Going for a Wolves upset – so 2-0 to the Wolves.
2 0 Leicester.
Oh Moxey loves this, I expect he is actually on vacation or turned his phone off.
This guy has the negotiating skills of a bowling ball.
Ahh, yet another transfer window passes with negligible moves forward.
WHY loan out Stearman when the squad is so thin defensively (I don’t rate him, but he’s better than nothing)?
WHY let Zubar leave on a free?
WHY invite bids for our top striker?
WHY not strengthen the team in the areas that have needed strengthening for years now!?
I call bullshit on us not having the money to buy! Everyone knows we’ve got the money from Jarvis/Kightly/Fletcher + the parachute payments + no debt. Or have we?
Is it now becoming clear that Morgan is in fact using Wolves as a cash-cow?
Budget manager, no investment in the team, and no ambition…but heaps of money that has come in and not been spent.
I don’t think signing a whole new team or some big-money glamour signings are realistic goals (no shit), but nor do I think that bringing in a few faces on loan (which is clearly what’s going to happen) is the way forward either.
It may save us from relegation (can’t believe I just typed that), but it’s hardly a statement of intent to challenge for…the play offs / top half?
I’m mystified at how bad we have become when it’s been so obvious for so long that without action so many things would get worse or go wrong. We may just be the biggest joke in English football right now.
Ade you are so absolutley right.
More and more of these unfathomable decisions.
it stinks of just cashing in or cutting the loss where they can.
Regardless of how many players we have on the books (Say 45) the fact is we can not field 11 championship winners. So assuming the first team squad and fringe are the best we have got shipping them out without replacements just weakens us further and spirals us down down down. OK maybe not highly rated but they were at least OK as reserves and squad players.
Not sure how the finaces are set up and numbers are presented, but i have a suspaicion that last summers revenue is being quietly diluted away in inter comapny trading or (mis-mangagement charges).
Jez just pleading time to pass quickly so he is of the transfer hook.
These are the most damaging days for our club i can recall.
“For all of those fans of Football League clubs worried that their teams are particularly quiet on transfer deadline day, Preston manager Graham Westley makes an excellent point – the loan window opens next week. And because of that, he says there is “no great panic” to do any business before 2300GMT this evening.”
Just taken off the BBC Sport website, Is this a new twist or just something that’s always been there? It’s certainly new to me, and news to me.
Did I mention that I supply the board of Wanky Wanderers with detailed footballing insights to aid in the strategic direction of the club?
Allowing Stearman, Zubar and Mooookyowko to leave is based on my insight that if we have a failing defence then if there are fewers defenders…then logically there will be less failiure!!!! This also supports the reasoning of loaning Stearman to our mate Mick at Ipswich. Stearman will fail magnificently for Mick…well he always did to be honest!!!!
I advised against the sale of Stephen Ward….as I can tell you when it comes to the business end of the season we will need to get our nose ahead of the opposition…and Stephen is the perfect man for the job!
Fatty Blakes continued presence is very much political. It ensures neither Jezza or Stevo are the fattest cats at the club! Plus as I advised Deano…maybe its time to convert old fatty into a goal keeper. Don’t forget it was always the fat kid that went in goals at school…and with that body mass it will be like parking a bus in front of the goals!
I suggested we bring Lee Evans in to cheer the squad up…squad morale is very important…and let’s be honest he was very good in that film about a mouse!
In terms of tonight’s performance…well after consulting my computerized football model its certainly going to be our night!!!!
Leicester 14.5 Wolves -3
Allowing us to win by 2 wickets!!!! What a game of soccer!!!!!
If we are keeping E-shoots blanks – Blake then somebody needs to tell him to get his buns in the black and Golden Arches and pop them in…..actually, that shouldn’t really be a problem for him now should it……hur ????
Leicester 5 Wolves 0
Get rid of E-Blanks – Blake.
Some one put in a bid for Ward? – Bite their hand off, don’t reject it.
Whatever way, we must get rid of the losers or under motivated.
At least drop them.
Play Cassidy and Ziggy.
It is a shambles.
There was momentum, before Ståle was sacked, for a ‘don’t go to Blackburn as a protest movement.’
Saunders was quickly appointed and the ‘don’t go to Blackburn campaign’, naturally disintegrated so we could see, what the new manager was like.
Was the whole ‘changing managers’ a cynical ploy by our, perhaps not so rich Chairman Morgan, to at least keep the crowd up at Blackburn, and avoid any transfer budget this January?
I am beginning to think so…..
DS just rang me up – “bring your boots along tonight, your playing”. My chance at last though I did point out I am 60 and might only mange 5 mins . “No problem!” says DS “I need all the help I can get. Would you be able to manage 10 mins?” – Oh go on then!
Seems I am coming on in the last 10 mins in place of Doyle. Wish me luck…..
Going to get me a hat-trick, from 2-0 down I will get us to 2-3 with a 98 min winner..
Sevlow put a word in for me I could be your striking partner or with phatman at the back.
UTW
Well, DS did say if I knew any mates who were any good – so if you can walk and maybe trot for a few metres then your in !
P.S. There will be no performance fee but DS has promised us fish’n'chips on the coach back.
Meet up in 10 mins so we can get some practice in.
Up the Wolves !
I could play all the back positions and gk at the same time Do you think that DS can get away with our squad of 3
It gets the wage bill down. How much have you been offered.
I thought vouchers for McDonald’s was not enough.
The owner and Board of Wolverhapmpton Wanderers realizes how disappointed our fans are at the lack of activitiy in the january market.
We share their disappointment and trust they will understand the diifulties we faced in this market. (MEANS: We had no intention of buying and have suckered you all again)
We recently undertook strengthening of our Management team which gave the new manager no time to assess his needs. (MEANS: We had no intention of buying and have suckered you all again)
Whilst we made many offers none of them succeded for various reasons. We can not make teams sell or players sign for us. (MEANS: We found now bargains at the Pound Store and Players and Agents wont even talk to us anymore)
We identified no one who was better than the players we already have. We will not buy foir the sake of buying. (MEANS: We are not very good at judging talent and have decided that if we continue getting rid of our better players, then it will be easier to find better ones on the cheap)
With an important game on deadline day it left us no opportunity to conclude any business.
(MEANS: We just thought of this excuse and that we are not really very good at running a Football Club.)
Excellent NY Wolf!
A shame you’re over the pond, I think you have a great future as a CEO. Mind you, you’d have to eat a shed load of pies and cover yourself in grease!
That’s a surprise, Ward backs off, we concede…how the fuck does this bloke get a game???
Too right Banbury absolutely fucking useless. Get him off I’ll pick him up and drop him at Forest.
He is a complete disgrace.
Deano is protecting his 100% record. 100% no wins! Worse then Solbakken…your fuckin worse than Solbakken!!!! 2 championship clubs managed..2 fuckin relegated by the looks of it!
100% troll! (either that or couldn’t google sky sports stream)
Slider I’m 100% entitled to my opinion…and I’m not wareing Rose tinted glasses! Saunders will take us down…would you of left Blake on, considering he was marked out of the game? Subbed Siggi when we needed to pressure their defence? Even Mr Bull had to admit its now a relagation fight! All the talk of next season we will challenge!!! How about we take care of this season first or it will be a div1 Challenge! Unlike Mr Bull I think you will find we aren’t too big to go down…we certainly aren’t too good! People need to stop deluding themselves…and get a grip!!! Btw I don’t need to stream I can afford sky!
Good for you Sir Fred. Yes, we are in a relegation battle, its just now having seen the 2nd half (in grainy vision) I think we will battle, and have the quality to get enough results. I also don’t agree SEB was out the game he came very very close to equalising. There are definitely worse defences than Leicester, play like that and we will start to win again. Onwards and upwards!
To Be fair we more than matched 2nd place high flying Leicester tonight.
I thought we would be humiliated on national TV. We weren’t .
Amazing to see their 2 goals come from counter attacks, the first was Wards fault, if he had backed off any further he would have finshed up in the back of the net,
2nd Goal Henry was in a great position going forward… But in the final 3rd he really doesn’t know what to do… so he passed the ball back and lost it.. bang they score.
Henry and Ward… by far our 2 worst players.. and our 2 captains….
Nige…how is loosing 2-1matching Leicester? Based on this logic we are top of the league then?
Yes we lost but matched them in performance terms.
Take the positives.
Best we have played under Saunders.
I was expecting 4 or 5 off them..
I’m not saying we are not in trouble and are as good as Leicester, but at least we made a good game of it and that for me is progress after the last away match agsinst Sheff Wed, who outplayed us and are below us in the league.
Fair point Nige…agreed it was competitive, and certainly an improvement on my last game at Luton in the FA Cup! I worry Saunders for all he is a nice guy is a bit tactically naive! Blake struggled tonight for me!
Bully’s comment on TV, that we are too big to go down worries me! He is close to the Morgan and Greasy…is this how they see it?
Its a fair point, we may yet go down.,
I am as fed up as the next man with everything that as gone on.
I just felt that watching tonight at home on Sky we weren’t outplayed and outclassed by a very good team. Over the 90 minutes I thought our performance was better than against Blackburn and Blackpool at home which I had to sit through.
Yes disappointed that we lost of course and the goals were shocking defensively, but we expect that until something is done to address the back 4.
I just thought we would get more of a mauling.
As for Morgan and Moxey they are the scum of the earth and we need rid of them both.
I would expect better from Bully, he should be more outspoken but I think they may have him on the payroll to help with their PR.
Nige,
I think you’re very kind with your words on Morgan and Moxey. I think Moxey has a special spread sheet. He inputs the asking price for the player and, he has a number at the bottom of the page that changes his bonus to a lower or a negative number. The B*****d should give his pay back into the pot so we can buy some decent players. Oooops, too late now… Windows closed..
Played well at times …… and lost again.
Relegated sides are full of such results.
Gillingham here we come
A little passion was a phenomenal improvement on the capisculating dross of late. Maybe whilst at Gillingham we may find the next Matty Jarvis who we can sell to fund a new stand which the plunder – blunder brothers can sub-let to the YMCA for a few ackers more
New postal code for Saunders….. 0 4 4
He’s still on track to beat clipboards abysmal record.
Doyle to Celtic
Thought we looked a lot better than for some time tonight but thats not saying much is it?
Was pleased with the way we played it out of defence but a team that struggles to score goals or to stop conceding them is bound to struggle so if anyone doubts we’re ‘too good to go down’ we’re not!
Having counted down the minutes on deadline day I can’t help feeling underwhelmed at the club’s frantic lack of signings.
Even MANAGERLESS Blackpool managed to nab Reece Wabara on loan from Man City. Was impressed by him and esp his winner for Oldham v Liverpool at the weekend.
Doubtless Jez would have struggled to match the free donkey rides and sticks of rock on offer from the big spenders by the pleasure park!
The rock shouldn’t be any trouble for him to get because we are stick of rock shit, split it open and we are shit through and through and all the way to the end from top to bottom!
scoopy mate i watched the match at my daughters with the intension of leaving at half time cos i was knackered…. i stayed to watch the whole game due to the application of the players. it wasnt perfect but everyone pulled together and i have to say its been a long time since they have battled through the whole game. i wasnt dissapointed to not see players coming in as i think this team should be able to push up the table and i think we should be gradually blooding the youth. not perfect but if this is the start of the deano era i for one feel more positive..
Pulled together ??? O’hara did nothing but moan at other people in the first half when he was the one making all the wayward passes.
The team looked fragmented to me. Late in the second half some of them showed what they can really do with Sako and Doumbia making some great incisive midfield passes. But they looked like an african enclave within the team – not playing with anyone else. Meanwhile sigurdsson looked like he was playing alone with noone passing to him at all !!
All true Scooped. Something is beginning to dawn on me, maybe the board are just incredibly inept – Steve Bull trying to voice veiled appeasements just said it all! Leominster is sunny today
Predictably for a less winnable game we raise our performance the result another defeat. As someone else has pointed out this is still relegation form. Thought Sky coverage grooming Leicester for promotion but of course if they go up they will be shat on.
Wolverhampton Wanderers football club management would like to invite you to a delightful afternoon of professional papier mâché classes. Our skilled and professional board members will show you how to cover all the small cracks with next to nothing in materials. Book now for our twice a year classes in January and throughout the summer, spaces are limited and signing you in can be a difficulty due to an already high attendance.
OMG I wanna puuuuke.
Extract from clubs statement regarding Doyle tonight.
“The Club also made offers to bring players in during the transfer window but unfortunately these bids were not successful.”
Yes and I just tried to buy a new Porsches for $250, but unfortunately my bid was not accepted.
There is then some banal comment that never mind there is still the emergency loan period.
Meaning we might find a few old lags we can borrow.
Seriously guys these bastards are turning me against the team i have loved and supported for 58 yrs. I cant bear to even say it but what is there to support. I can not defend lies and bullshit.
I used to be proud to say Wolves were my team, even after leaving the midlands in my teens. You get all the people picking high end premier clubs to support even if they have never visited the town or city (no offence to those that do) but me, I stuck to my roots even though I only placed my footballing passion into the game less than ten years ago. Proudly I’d state my shield as we battled on….now? I can’t admit my following and that is sad.
When are there gonna be protests In The ground . Where’s the money Steve? Banners! Anyone who says it’ll affect the team I DON’T CARE! They Are just not worth caring about. The club is. Players come and go. I am beyond words bout our owner , Get this fucker away from wolves
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. When morgan came outside the billy wright stand to answer the protest, with tears in his eyes, i said, nothing drys quicker than a chairmans tears. People like morgan live by the £££, and the only language they understand is £££. Not to sign any players is unbelievably stupid. Hopefully the fans will now show their feelings inside and outside the ground. Most of us on this site could see this happened months and months ago, and we all knew that we wouldnt sign any decent players this transfer window as we all know the shit that spews from the board. You only rip someone off once. Morgan – you will not be forgiven for robbing us
Slept on it before a comment. I thought it was a much better performance than others of late and probably deserved a point for the second half alone. I hope we can sustain this level. Baath looked ok and can only get better with experience and deserves another few run outs if he plays like this. There were a few positives, mainly to do with spirit and fight.
However, I guess the bottom line is that we lost again and are really in the relegation dog fight. I thought SEB finished poorly and yet again an error by Ward proved costly – it probably cost us a point. It seems a bit ironic that we turned down bids for both of these two.
Didn’t understand the Davis substituation again – 2 – 1 down with 5 to go and you’ve got nothing; its shit or bust again and a striker, even Doyle, would have appeared a better option. Alternatively push Siggy up front to play in his natural position.
More worrying is the lack of players coming in – AGAIN. I felt we knew this wouldn’t happen and many on here have predicted that. We get fed so much shit.
Agreed Steppenwolfe, can’t believe Siggy has become a right winger how dumb…..
In a strange way I’m pleased with this transfer window. All week I’d been expecting us to sell Sako and Siggy because they didn’t fit into DS hoof ball strategy, as it is we still have two of our better assets.
Every cloud and all that!
Last nights performance would suggest that Saunders is not a hoof-ball merchant. But you can see the frustration on Sako’s face with the lack of quality that surrounds him. Don’t expect him to stick around in the summer.
Last night did show some flashes of possession football it’s true, but his proposed signings Curtis Davies and Marlon King are hardly possession footballers. I tend to see the pass and move as a hangover of the previous regime rather than DS. All I’ve heard from him and seen in last few games sounds far to much like in your face hoof ball and his insistence in playing our paciest and most skilful striker on the wing fills me with dread, square pegs in round holes again.
Like you I’m no fan of Davies or the loathsome King, and I’d have liked Solbakken to have been given the time and resources to effect a true revolution. Having said that, it was a pleasant surprise last night to see a Wolves team (almost totally) control the 2nd half. I’d agree that Sigurdarson should have been given the chance to disrupt a far-too-comfortable Leicester defence with some genuine pace – a couple of times he had Keane in all sorts of trouble. Blake didn’t look like disturbing them until the last 10 minutes.
Well watched it on the laptop bit jerky at time but here’s my thoughts. Until they scored we were very average, when they scored we lifted our game by miles, best 25 minutes from the team for a long time. However the wife said what are you shouting at I said Ward is about to give a goal away again, and he did. Second half up to our great goal (Really hope he meant to hit it that shape fantastic strike from 25+ yards) then lost the wireless conection all together. On that showing buying no players is a huge mistake but be fair we all knew that was on the cards. So if and it’s a big if we stay up there will have to a massive change in personel or we will be straight back into a relegation battle. Remember August 2011 top of Premership how have we fallen so far so quickly?
so who plays left back ? Transfer window is shut now. You’ve got 40 players so no emergency loan allowed. And bear in mind Ward is a striker. He didn’t ask to play left back. Part of the good attacking moments last night included ward up the left side with Sako. Wards REAL problem is that Sako can’t defend at all. When he tries we give penalities away. Maybe Ward could have tried to tackle the goalscorer but he could just have easily been beaten. And due to the counter attack Ward had made a lot of ground to even get goalside. Where was the cover for him ? He forced the guy wide which was correct. How did Ward know that Ikeme had weak wrists ? It’s too easy to blame Ward all the time.
lost all faith in the 2 ms sir jack must feel utterly betrayed please someone offer morgan £20 double what he paid
