That’s the most frustrated I’ve felt after a match under Bruno. Burnley are well drilled by Dyche but Wolves’ slow build-up play, poor output from the wing backs and dearth of quality in the final third was excruciating to witness. The inevitably of a goalless draw for much of the contest rather sums up why […]
Southampton 0 Wolves 1
Judging by the way I was pacing up and down my living room in stoppage time – those three points were huge. It wasn’t pretty and I didn’t particularly enjoy Bruno taking a leaf out of Nuno’s negative tactics playbook, but a win’s a win. The undoubted positive was the return of the Raul we […]

We don’t recruit managers of Nuno’s calibre, we don’t sign players of Neves’ ability, we don’t play utterly […]
