What’s wrong with Michael Kightly?

Posted by Thomas on 2nd September , 2010

Unless you’ve had you head buried under a rather large rock (or alternatively don’t get chance to procrastinate from work every 30 seconds to scan BBC Sport) you’ll have heard the news that Michael Kightly has been omitted from the Wolves squad. That means he will not play a game for us until January at [...]

Wolves 1 Newcastle 1

Posted by Thomas on 29th August , 2010

Crunching tackles, bad decisions and well taken goals are the three things that will live long in the memory about this bruising afternoon at Molineux. From the moment Karl Henry piled into Joey Barton in front of an approving South Bank, fairly I might add, the tone of the match was set and neither side [...]

Wolves Vs Newcastle United Preview

Posted by Thomas on 26th August , 2010

Both Wolves and Newcastle head into Saturday’s match with great confidence following positive results last time out. After Sylvan grabbed us a deserved point at Goodison Park, 24 hours later the Magpies put six passed Aston Villa, emphatically announcing their return to the top flight. As a consequence this game really is beautifully poised with [...]

A Richard Stearman goal was enough to ensure Wolves squeezed passed Southend in the second round of the Carling Cup. But having squandered the lead given to them by Nenad Milijas from the penalty spot, they needed extra time to see off the plucky League Two outfit. I wasn’t at the game so I can’t [...]

Everton 1 Wolves 1

Posted by Thomas on 22nd August , 2010

If there is such a thing as ‘Second Season Syndrome’ Wolves are so far showing no signs of contracting the condition. In fact, on the evidence of yesterday’s stirring second-half fightback, it seems entirely plausible that Mick McCarthy’s young side could very easily eclipse the achievements of last year. To an outsider, yesterday’s scrappy one-all [...]

Everton Vs Wolves Preview

Posted by Thomas on 19th August , 2010

Following last weekend’s opening day victory over Stoke, Wolves will head to Goodison Park high on confidence and feeling they have every chance of picking up another positive result. By contrast, the Toffees lost their first game to Blackburn thanks to a massive clanger from Tim Howard. They’ll be keen to turn things around quickly [...]
