As someone who recognised the need to part ways with Nuno, albeit still saddened by the news of his departure when it came, I’m excited by the promise of a new direction. Candidates with the pedigree of Sergio Conceicao and Paulo Fonseca initially got the juices flowing, but I’ve increasingly warmed to the attack-minded Bruno […]
The dream
It was quite fitting really that Nuno’s arrival at Wolves was announced while I was sitting by a pool in the Algarve on my honeymoon. I thought to myself that this doesn’t happen to my football club. We don’t recruit managers of Nuno’s calibre, we don’t sign players of Neves’ ability, we don’t play utterly […]

I’m still frustrated by how Brighton attractively passed and moved the ball with effortless ease between Dunk’s header and sending off. For Wolves, having any creativity in possession is an alien concept. I find it very frustrating that […]
Fulham 0 Wolves 1
A blog along the lines of ‘forgive me if I’m not doing cartwheels over a lifeless goalless draw that virtually secures our Premier League status’ was locked and loaded. OK, a stoppage-time winner and Adama ending his goal drought provides some relief, but it was still a hard and frustrating watch. Before that last-gasp drama, […]
Aston Villa 0 Wolves 0
As far as the end result goes, my glass is half full after another 90 minutes of frustration. Struggling opposition? Check. Still hand them the initiative and offer little going forward? Check.

A season that has been underwhelming at best was being kept going by dreams of a return to Wembley. How he can justify resting especially Neto, Jose and Traore is beyond me. We’re in no […]
