You need only look back to our last game at the Amex Stadium to appreciate just how far Wolves have come under Kenny Jackett.
That dismal afternoon on the south coast, which confirmed relegation to League one, turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it resulted in the kind of top to bottom changes that were very much required.
Just under two years later we’re back at the seaside, reborn and ready to try and gatecrash the top six.
Brighton have long been a bogey side so a decent result against the Seagulls is long, long overdue.
Brighton
You never got the sense it was going to work for Sami Hyypia, so it was little surprise he was replaced after the 1-1 draw at Molineux back in December.
Getting Chris Hughton was a bit of coup in my opinion and he’s since guided them well away from the bottom three. There’s a nine point buffer with 10 games left so it seems unlikely they’ll have much to worry about in May.
Over the last 10 matches, they’ve actually accumulated just one point less than Wolves, which demonstrates this game will likely be a lot closer than the league table suggests.
The Amex hasn’t been much of a fortress this season. Six wins, six draws and six defeats suggests consistent inconsistency, which is the story of their season.
Considering Brighton have only conceded one less and scored nine fewer than Wolves, it’s amazing that there’s an 18 point difference between the sides. It just shows how narrow the margins are in Championship football.
Wolves
Common sense prevailed and Sako is back in the picture tomorrow. I still firmly believe the number of games he can influence between now and the end of the season will dictate how close we come to the play-offs.
Don’t know why I bother with the above graphic these days as I haven’t the foggiest who Kenny Jackett will select. The only safe bets these days are the goalkeeper, the central defenders, McDonald, Afobe and Sako. Everything else is interchangeable.
I didn’t think the James Henry experiment worked particularly well against Watford. He was largely ineffective playing in behind Afobe. Edwards or Dicko would be a better shout in that position for me.
The gaffer
Predictions
This is one of the more winnable remaining fixtures on paper, but the Championship seldom goes to plan.
Wolves played well in patches against Watford but then spluttered out again towards the end.
Hopefully if they can edge themselves in front, as they did twice last weekend, they can see it through against a team with less firepower.
I’m going for a narrow away win.
1-0
Up The Wolves!
The lads will come good here.
One we should be winning if we want to mount a serious playoff challenge.
Like the team set up, doubt if Kenny will appeas us.
Got your msg mate. Will talk nearer the date. Been looking through the predictions league and It is not right, but it doesn’t bother me as even if corrected I would be nowhere near competing.
Let me know how many points you think you should have Brompton and I’ll check against what’s recorded. Can also double check with Twixfix who is keeping a spreadsheet as backup.
Thanks, but I can’t be arsed and it doesn’t really matter cos I aint gonna win and the Plastic Yank will only abuse me even more than he does already for whining.
Hiya Steve … email me on oldfield 23@btinternet.com so I can pick up yr email address and I’ll send you what history I’ve got for you.
It will be appreciated because it could help to eradicate any possible anomolies.. thanks mate .. hope you had a great time cruising … I’m jealous…
Well stop bloody whining then!!
Back to normal service
Hope he plays Price and RVLP…
I’m not expecting a play off place.
Let’s hope I’m proven wrong about the play off place, (not my prediction), and pleasantly surprised.
always been a bogey side but if we are to have any chance of the play offs we need 3 points here
It’s definitely time for a win against Brighton.
Lets make our quality count and supply a Dicko double as Afobe distracts.
You never know!!
I bit nitpicky John but just put your prediction through again as I think you’ve hit the ‘O’ key rather than the zero ( ‘0’ ) key .. apologies but it would be a shame to miss some prediction points ….
Big fat zero ? Fair comment.
Thomas. .. An amazingly good summary of Brighton, their current form, KJ’s team selection etc.
It’s so true that the Seagulls have been a bogey team and were hard to breakdown at the Mol. But I’m throwing in the Afobi factor here and it’s looking good for 3 points towards our play off charge.
Still feel we should be good enough to finish top 6… just. Because Clive has got to be right sooner or later…
Got to be all 3 points
Glad Sako got his red rescinded. Brighton no better than average currently
Thomas ..I think that the team selection above is as good as we have got..price PLV henry to rotate..
What did happen to Iorfa then? as a post debut run he was spectacular in play and confidence..
The only player that has been bolted this season is DB…
I digress a bit..
Brighton..as im sitting with Stu and 2000 away fans ,this is a ground where we should put some history right..
I can taste a good win if we start well..which historically this season seems to be significant..I just hope we don’t go behind..
Our forwards are potentially on fire and with Sako’s reprieve everything is there for an attacking strategy..
All eyes on Afobe.. Dicko is also due a goal and I’m looking forward to seeing El maestro who’s even getting comments via KJ that he is back on form,which he def is..
So 3-1 for me we must get 3 points as we could afford to lose to Derby if we beat Sheffield next..
We need 6 out of 9 points..eyes on Brentford and Ipshit to lose..
Destiny in place? I wonder..
Glass half full once again..
COYW
Not Going to make a Prediction on this game..
The football seems secondary to some of the antics of a small minority of our so called fans…
Various videos are appearing on utube of away supporters kicking out train windows at Bolton to of course the sickening attack of a fellow football fan from Watford. who we all hope will make a full recovery. (Prayers with his family).
What the hell is going on. We don’t live in the 70’s or 80’s anymore and those days are long gone.. What makes people act in this way.
Please go away and do not associate yourself with this club or the proud city of Wolverhampton…
I attend all home games and some away when I can go.. I go with my 13 year old daughter who has suddenly become scared at what has been going on.
These things can scar for life and put off our potential future supporters.
I know its a minority but frankly I am Speechless right now..
This is THE one, when prediction heaven comes to Houston.
I have never felt more confident in my 5 – 1 forecast, (not since last weekend, anyway) and this is the week in which dreams come true.
Last time I went to Brighton was for a pre season friendly, when Big Mark Davies had to go there on business, and I was forced to sit on the nudist beach making sure there were no clothes worn!!
Unless I’m wrong, only Edwards survives from that debacle of 2 years ago, but even so, there is something in the air, and we have a score to settle.
(I’ll settle for 5 – 1 !!)
I’m still tickled pink by the shit losing twice in a week to the Villa, and Chelsea’s wonderous implosion.
I are off to earn major brownie points at the mother in law’s next week, so wish me luck, I will be in St Louis, where it is reported they’ve had that white stuff from the sky!!
FOwb & tp
Bogey team strikes again!!! Noooooo!!!!
Wow we ARE positive this week. I still think we are not good enough to go up this season somehow. As no one went for the draw – let me be the first.
The start of 3 wins in a row.
Thomas, it is not often that I find myself scratching my head at your articles but I don’t agree with your opening statement that our last defeat at Brighton created the top to bottom changes required. We will only be truly reborn when Morgan and moxey the true architects of our downwards spiral have gone. We are basically back where we were 20 years ago- scrambling to get into the championship with many other clubs, the main difference being that many clubs are now vastly wealthier than us. Morgan has completely wasted the golden platform eventually given him by sir jack. Having got into the pl, his continual failure to properly invest means that anything other than successive promotions, after successive relegations, can only logically be seen as still further evidence of his failure to remedy a disaster of his own making.
With 13 games to go KJ suggested we need to average 2 points per game to reach the play-offs. 4 games on and we’re behind schedule (7 from 12). A win against Brighton is imperative to catch up (10 from 15) and anything else means we’ll drift further away. There are much harder games coming up where 1 point is likely to be a good outcome.
Time for a decent result against this lot. Let’s hope so eh?
Onwards & Upwards
🙂
If we are to make the playoffs, this is a must win game, and we should be more than capable.
it would also be great to cleanse the memory of our last visit to Brighton.
I’m going for a relatively comfortable win, but hope Clive has his day, as we could do with the goal difference.
Come on Me Babbies!!!
Hate predicting a loss but I’m not quite sure what Kenny’s up to these days.
Agreed Martin – Bournemouth being a case in point, where Kenny persisted with RVLP instead of giving Henry at least the second half.
Going for the loss, as my predictions have been hopeless lately, so hope the lads prove me wrong.
COYW!!
We just have to win.
Simples
I don’t know about you guys but we are so close to these play offs particularly as the other lot are capable to loose points..Brenford and Ipshit particularly plse…
Our forwards can all score ..our midfield can score too.. almost all of them are on form..
Steers is supporting DB, Golbourne is back?and Iorfa (?) (did show so much promise)
The Watford result was untimely.. my player of the future DB got the wrong bloody side and perhaps we should of had a penalty..
However…
KJ..if there was ever a time to lead a charge this is it..I think this seasons result is purely in your hands..this is the Brian Clough time, the Kevin keeegan time of passion, dare I say it a Pullis time (he’d kick the shit out of his players) If your any good then lead…
It’s a fight to the bitter end so lets go for it..
Just ask Afobe….
I’m building up for the match..
COYW
Badly need those points. COYW
2002 (with me & thee) fans tomorrow shouting them on Steve.
Kuzsack is a reasonable replacement for Ikeme.
Kortney Hause is sound.
Golbourne is edging back to form
Batth is running hotter than cold lately
Stears is singing.
Iorfa is on holiday??????
MacDonald is on fire.
Price has a big arse and can score with it.
Henry is good for 45 minutes.
RVLP is top assist if he could stop Diving he’d be brilliant.
Afobe is a steal.
Dave is very Dangerous.
Sako is reprieved.
Dicko likes Afobe & Sako.
So. What can go wrong…….
Watch this space.
🙂
Nothing will go wrong mate. Cometh the hour, cometh the Wolves. If we are not up for this game at the Amex, there is no hope
Onwarrds towards top six. Agree with Robin about KJ’s team selection
“This is one of the more winnable remaining fixtures on paper, but the Championship seldom goes to plan.”
Great mantra that, especially for a Wolves supporter, but on this occasion I’m going for a hard fought for win.
You’re right US Wolf.
If we have ANY pretensions of getting into the Premier League we MUST win this game.
And win it well.
The question is, do we really want to get into the Premier League?
Leicester City won this league at a canter last season and they are nailed on to come straight down.
Which would seem to suggest that, because no team is running away this year – it’s as tight as a nun’s nasty, as my sweet old granny used to say – whoever goes up this time has got no chance of staying up.
You can bet your life that the managers of the promoted teams will be sacked as soon as the novelty of losing to the big clubs wears off and the fans start saying that they have taken them as far as they can go.
I don’t really want Wolves to be in that position – and I certainly don’t want Kenny Jackett to be thrown on the scrap heap because of the lack of funds he will get to strengthen the team.
It’s a difficult one… stick, or twist?
I suppose we have to go for it.
But, if I’m being perfectly honest, I think that another season in the Championship is probably what this team deserves…
…And needs.
Totally agree. Management really needs to decide what they want for Wolves long term and invest accordingly. Or maybe they already have, and we’re in denial. 🙂
I have to agree with you Doog, it is quite a conundrum……..The whole “should I stay or should I go now”, stick or twist, shit or bust.
Leicester are a case in point, but last years other two promoted teams in Burnley and QPR, also occupy relegation spots currently. I haven’t time to look up the statistics, but I would bet it hasn’t happened that often that the three teams that escape the Championship are the three teams that are relegated from the Premiership subsequently.
Its not like 18th and 19th are miles from safety either.
Everyone’s ambition, once there, must be to stay in the top flight of English football, but there are also not insignificant financial assistance upon failing in your first term.
I would never want to become a yo-yo club, and don’t know whether I would really say I would rather be watching the Wolves be winning the majority of their games in the Championship than taking on the big boys and being the loosing side more often than not.
I would love to be able to take my boys to see us playing the likes of Citeh and Manure and giving it a go, even if we were to leave the Molineux deflated more times than elated.
I fully understand and perhaps agree with the “it might be too early” theory, but hey…….perhaps its not….and we would never know unless it were to happen.
I therefore say go for it……..what have we got to loose.
Sako will be gone if we don’t. We have some good young players. I sit on the fence a little on the whole M&M debate, but I would like to think that money would be made available. Perhaps those at the top have learnt some lessons, perhaps they have more ambition that they are sometimes given credit for.
Its all theoretical at the moment, but IMO, we have to give it our best shot.
Either way, enjoy the ride, for We Are Wolves.
Come on Doog.. I reckon we are good enough to stay up if we did go up..
Dare I say…..Are West Brom that much better than us then?
Or is it their manager?
Please, no swearing on this site.
Its “the shit”
Honestly, I don’t think we are mate.
Having lost ten of thirty six games – pretty heavily to some of the clubs higher than us – and with a goal difference of just six, I don’t think we’d have a snowball’s chance in Hell of holding our own.
In a year’s time we might but I’m worried that exposing our young talent to the Premier League at this stage of their development could seriously damage them mentally.
Kenny is building, but it’s going to be a long old process, and I wouldn’t like to see his erection bulldozed (did I just write that?) before it was complete.
Doog,
I can’t fault your reasoning. As always, your contributions are cerebral and more importantly heart-felt.
It is difficult to tell what is bluster, or what KJ’s real targets arre. I think that we should go for it. We will need more than a little luck to make it bith to and through the play-offs, so fate will play a part. My feeling is that KJ wants top 6 and so do I. KJ will keave if he doesn’t have the board’s backing or gets a better offer elsewhere. That is true whether we are promoted or not.
If we get promoted, there’s money in it and maybe Sako stays. Many bloggers curse the two Ms for lack of investment, but I believe that the current management team might well invest to keep us in the Prem.
It’s a must win – simple as that.
No sign of the strengthening we so badly need.
We need a good run starting now.
Surprised no one has mentioned this, but their name, when read in full, is
Brighton and Hove shit.
This is a great opportunity of showing how far we have travelled under Kenny. Almost two years ago I was at the Amex stadium to see us lose 2-0 and be relegated. It was a pathetic showing under Steve Morgan’s latest brainwave, Dean Shambles. Thankfully a proper footballing recruiting process was then instigated, leading to the signing of Kenny, with Morgan being conspicuous by his absence from the resultant press conference.
I’m going for a 2-0 win to us tomorrow, followed by a win against the Owls next Tuesday. With 6 points under our belt, we can go all out for revenge against Derby next Saturday. 6 to 7 points from those 3 games will put enormous pressure on the teams above us
On the basis that Brighton also have Albion in there name PLUS they play in an Albion strip I am arguing that 2 negatives make a positive, thus Brighton 0 WWFC 2.
Unlike Mick McCarthy I think Kenny learns quickly from recent events and he won’t make the same errors in judgement that were so costly at Bournemouth. Bogies are there for the picking (as it were), previous experience means nothing and we’ll win tomorrow against an improving Brighton.
It’s always good to beat a team in blue and white stripes (even if the Baggies have got rid of theirs!)
A must win if there’s to be in any hope of the playoffs
Nothing to separate us on form, but I’ve a feeling this is not going to be easy. They’re turned their dreadful home form round and are coming off 3 straight home wins, including beating Derby. But they have an ageing defence and I think that our pace up front could leave them struggling. I like Thomas’ team but would look to protect the defence more strongly early on – Price with KMac and Edwards in the hole. Afobe and RvLP to come on later as impact subs.
To quote some famous old bard or other, ‘every point’s a prisoner’ and these three are coming up for parole. Whether we can free them into our care till the end of the season remains to be seen but our boys have been on good behaviour most of the season so the omens are hopeful.
Brighton are themselves in good form and their result against Derby will be a big fillip but our pace and finishing on the break will always give us a chance away from the Mol’, so I feel they’ll come at us and we’ll show ’em the error of their ways.
I don’t think one point is enough for us in this one and a defeat will end our season. 🙁 Depending on results elsewhere of course. 🙂
An emotional fixture this one, on many levels.
Firstly as its the first game since incidents after the Watford match put the whole thing into perspective. I’m sure we would all trade Old Gold glory for the health and well being of our loved ones, and that we all wish for a full and speedy recovery for Mr Cruwys.
Also, returning to the scene of our relegation 2 years ago will stir up lots of feelings. One of my abiding memories from that day was the reception the B&H a****n fans gave us (singing “you’ve let your fans down” at our players and applauding us out of the ground are the two moments that stand out for me).
For me personally, having lived in Brighton for 3 years, this is a fixture I would LOVE to be attending, especially as one of my best mates from there is also celebrating his 30th this weekend. Unfortunately I am at a point in my life when I need to focus on work, so I can put myself in a position where I can hopefully attend many matches for years to come. So, as galling as it is, I will have to check Twitter for updates as I get the bus to work tomorrow, and then wait to find out the score till I get a fag break at about 10/11pm. ‘It’s only a phase’ I repeat to myself, ‘it will pass’.
If you’re going tomorrow then have a blast! If you really want to treat yourself then go to the Hobgoblin pub (near St Peter’s church) and have one of their Troll Burgers. It will definitely be the best burger you’ve ever eaten.
Sing your hearts out for the lads, and stay safe folks.
UTW
After the match, head to the Lion and Lobster. Best BBQ spare ribs in town!
When you get back to Wolverhampton, head for the Albion, it has the potential to be the best Bonfire thos side of November 5th.
FO WB
🙂
this prediction feels more like the triumph of hope over experience…but with two perfect forecasts I’m going for a hat trick tomorrow
A must win if we are to reach the play offs
Come on me babbies
Just seen the Goal of the month winner on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSKwk-0C-xI
Those guys really dig each other (that’s trendy speak Clive, you wouldn’t understand).
If only we can keep them together next season, we could REALLY reap the benefits.
Massive game. Need all 3 points if we want those playoffs
Hope springs eternal.
In form Brighton can be a hard nut.
But if we are going to end up in the play-offs at the end, we should grab 3 points.
no time to justify this prediction. a win lads!
Scotty, The Beardless One and RVLP to start and we will have as good a chance as anyone. Tend to agree with the Doogooder but I think a place in the play-offs will encourage good youngsters to join and the bulk of the squad to stay ready for a proper assault on this division next season.
Before seasons over l would like to see McDonald play off Afobe in the no10 role,starting @ Brighton.
For gods sake Kenny drop RVP and give Jacobs a game why you haven’t picked him this season ill never know is it because of the money spent on RVP are you embarrassed to drop him even you Kenny carnt get every transfer right but persisting with him when he’s clearly out of form and his depth is plain crazy.
The blokes a one trick pony and his temper when he’s roughed up will get him sent off, where as Jacobs has a great temperament and he has goals and creativity in him, please stop this stubbornness and pick Jacobs.
Just read Express & Star Jacbs gone to Blackpool on loan, shame I carnt understand Jacletts thinking there I rate him and I also think he hasn’t been given a fair go by Jackett.
I hope Jacobs does well scores a bucket load I’d have him any day rather than RVP……….any day
Good luck Michael prove Jackett wrong mate.
I was over for the game at Molineux and Wolves made Brighton look world class. We sat off them an allowed them time on the ball and to pick a pass. It was no surprise to see them score. We responded well but could only muster a draw.
If we play the same way tomorrow we will be turned over. Brighton are more resolute since Hughton. If we don’t start quickly and get in their faces we will concede first.
Another draw for me
More in hope than expectation I have to say!
Brighton are a good side so I think will be tight,but if we want to get into the playoffs we’ve gotta go for it.
So come on me babbies.UTW.
stalemate for me I’m afraid.
Hoping for an away win.
We deserved to beat Watford, and if Dicko is added to the attack tomorrow we’ll score plenty
Having seen Wolves for the first time this season last week I can’t say my confidence of a play-off place was boosted.
The good bits of play were ruined by defensive errors and an apparent inability to concentrate.Pretty basic stuff and I can’t see that we’ll trouble the teams above us.
We are young,evolving team and with some quality additions can be a proper force next season.
A draw would be no disgrace but I we live in hope.
We have to win and others must drop points. It’s a tall order. But they are playing each other so a slim chance still. Get the points & see what happens.
Hope I’m wrong, but think we’ll only get a draw tomorrow.
At this stage of the season I’d take narrow wins all day long. In sako, dicko and afobe we have the firepower. Question is do we have the quality to feed them? Macca can do it but he needs some quality from the rest of team as well!
Gone for a totally ridiculous score……………and why not ?
Going for an away win & Dicko to start & score, 2nd goal
Afobe.
UTW
A new ground for me, as I just couldn’t face it two seasons ago.
A massive 6 days for us coming up. Feel we need 7 points from 3 games.
Hope to see Dicko, Afobe and Sako all start.
Great away following, as usual, with another 2000+ support. Let’s hope we can bring the 3 points back with us.
Cheers Twix, must change these glasses!!!
Easily done John ..
Expecting a tight game that we may just knick near the end with a Sako net-buster
Ay bin new ground but went goldstone a few times. Probly filming quadrophenia last time i was there! Any road.must win tomoz. Then another 5. Is Des Lynam still alive ?
Can’t get past the fact they are a bogey side and we never looked like beating them at Molineux.
We have to keep winning to gatecrash the playoffs, so a win for me. Hope the fans have a great day out.
I think the comming week will tell us if we have any chance of making the play offs . We have to aim for at least 7 points from the 3 games. We need to beat teams like Brighton. Though they always seem to do well against us hopefully it’s time for a change.
Sad to see jacobs leaving on loan not sure why he suddenly dropped out of the picture. Maybe it leaves a space in the squad for a ball winner.
I’m sure that’s the reasoning behind it Mark .. hopefully we’ll get some better quality .. but knowing Morgan and Moxey .. I’m not holding my breath ..
Punk tribute band on in boozer.fuckin ace. Cleanse the one direction, wham, chav fuckin shite from my face. The shite who attacked that watford fan are a sad product of the tory ideology which exists in the south east of england. Wolvo deprived. Hemel hempstead leafy suburb. Realise i will get slated by the ukip brigade.bring it on.
Squeaky bum time (for the umpteenth time)
A must win game if we seriously want to challenge for the playoffs.
Form wise over the last six games Wolves and Brighton are exactly equal, but Brighton are our biggest bogy team of all and Wolves are away from home, so in theory a draw at best for the Wolves.
But at this stage of the season winning is imperative if the Wolves are to reach their ambition of promotion, these next three games will decide our fate i think, win them all and the game is on.
Wolves did beat one other bogy team away by 4 to 1 i think ( Huddersfeild away ) but, i dont think they’ll put four past Brighton, either way bogey team or not Wolves to win.
Hope we get a win but I’ll settle for a draw away from home COYW
There is a line in that great write up and truer words were never spoken. “The championship rarely goes to plan”
So as a dyed in the wool realist here is what I would like to happen, The mighty Wolves finish in the play offs and lose in the final, harsh I know but I don’t want us in the Premiership fighting relegation from day one.
By losing in the play off final it sends a message to Mork and Mindy (remember them?) that we are knocking on the door but we need to strengthen in depth to mount a real challenge, just look at points injuries have cost us so far this season. We all know we will never have a squad like the big boys but we must have cover where it matters.
The Championship is such a tough league because there are so many teams all capable of beating each other in the one off cup ties that all the games become on the run in. You are never home and dry until the fat lady has done her thing.
I don’t play the prediction game but a draw for me today.
Jack Price with goal number 2 – off his arse. Sorry
Tough game, I think we need to accommodate Doherty at the back either at the expense of Iorfa or dropping Hause and playing either Iorfa or Doherty out of position,
UTW
Brighton’s goalie has been a bit shaky of late and I reckon Kuszczak will be at his best against his old club, so I fancy us for a clean sheet and plenty of goals particularly because of our potency and pace up front now.
Come on me babbies!
A point away for Wolves
Keep marching on to the playoff spots
COYW
Gotta be! The standard 2-1 prediction.
A similar performance-level to Watford last weekend should be enough to take the 3 points and hopefully close that gap a little.
Incognito in Brighton – gonna be a cracking day! Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea…..
just hope this comment is long enough
I think wolves will win one nil
Any know to any streaming ?
Looks like it’s just going to be 6th spot up for grabs (at a push possibly a 5th spot if Derby continues with the fine run they are on).
Based on Derby getting their shit back together, it’s between the extinct unicorns, the becoming extinct bees or us, the team that almost became extinct but fought back.
Over 2 legs I have my money on Wolves as the team to reach the final, so could it be a triple Midlands Wembley year? Let’s hope!
Just read my previous… Unicorns extinct? What the feck was I on when I wrote it? Not sure whether my chuckling is out of sheer embarrassment or thst I just think it’s funny!.
How can something be extinct that’s fantasy? Well it’s a bit like us getting top spot or Morgan backing the team with his millions! All 3 are one and the same.
Anyway… 1 point gained on 6th spot so it was not a bad day… Even with my senior moment!
ShrewsWolf.
A ray of hope is that U21s starlet Conor Hunte was with the squad for the experience, it shows me that Kenny thinks as much of him as I do. Maybe Tuesday…………….
He’s another Gem, a little star in the making.
🙂
We’ve gained a point but really we need to be gaining 3 against sides like Brighton if we are serious about promotion. Serious about promotion?? If we were serious we would have invested in a couple more signings, permanent or loan, and we haven’t done so. Same old, same old. Lots of teams beating one another. I feel that promotion has been there for the taking this season but we have failed to grasp it.
