You have to give it Nuno, he’s good at taking the temperature. With increasingly large swathes of the fanbase frustrated by a rigid, defence-minded approach, he changes things up. The performance was iffy at times with the team clearly struggling with the adjustment, but they still could have won against a very useful Southampton outfit. […]
Wolves Vs Southampton Preview
If there’s one thing I’d dare to challenge Nuno on it’s his reluctance to throw caution to the wind when chasing a game. More specifically I’d ask him why he never sacrifices a defender in favour of getting another body in the attacking third of the pitch. Leicester were defending their penalty area for the […]

Last weekend the onus was on Wolves to attack and I thought they did that well, albeit not quite able to […]
Wolves Vs Newcastle Utd Preview

Madness. You can well imagine the frustration Nuno is feeling, losing all those valuable days at Compton to work on shape and fine-tune the details. […]
