En route to Manchester, conversation turned to our first Wolves games. Most of my company’s gold and black odyssey started in the heady days of Derek Dougan, Kenny Hibbitt et al. My own? A dreary home defeat to Coventry City in 2004. From whichever generation you hail, we’ve all had our fair share of highs […]
Wolves 0 Braga 1
The last time I was writing a European match report, we were all giddy with excitement about travelling the continent. Now some are talking about the Europa League as if its the worst thing to happen since the Bhatti brothers. If you believe everything you read on Twitter, we’re in meltdown. Thankfully, most of us […]
Wolves 2 Torino 1

When we embarked on our European journey, few would have expected the early stages to go quite so swimmingly. Six games played, six games won and a whopping 19 goals scored.

Leicester 0 Wolves 0
I’d rather this match report not serve as an essay on VAR, but it’s impossible to dissect this game without commenting on its main talking point.

That was tough to watch. Not because of anything that occurred on the pitch (though Ryan Bennett’s own goal was an eyesore) but because of what was going on across the terraces of Seaview. I would have loved to have been one of the crowd in Belfast, but dog-sitting duties put that dream to bed. […]
