It was a pleasant surprise to see Wolves follow the cup script for once and easily dispatch opposition from a lower division. A professional performance in which second gear was barely engaged is exactly what I was looking for on a chilly Sunday afternoon. Once we had overcome a sloppy start, where a better team […]

That’s the most frustrated I’ve felt after a match under Bruno.
