So mad Mick has come out and said that he believes as many as eight out of ten fans are fully behind him? writes Wolves blogger Nathan Lloyd.
The bizarre strategy of playing midfielders out of position, ignoring the successful youth players from last season and playing different strikers every game has determined that Mick’s disciples are surely dwindling by the game.
People accused me in my last blog that I’m simply a sheep and that I was just echoing other fans’ thoughts about getting rid of MM.
But I haven’t suddenly gone from backing the manager to typing up his P45.
I’ve just got gradually sick and tired of the negative, uncreative and boring football that has been served to Wolves fans this season and I’ve become bewildered by Mick’s strange team selections.
Despite spending over £5 million on six strikers we have scored 24 goals in 27 games, the lowest in the championship and Eastwood, Keogh and Bothroyd have managed one goal between them in their past 51 combined outings, which is pathetic.
Some fans have come out recently and said that we should back the team and manager no matter what.
Are they watching the games that we are watching?
We all know the importance of creating a positive atmosphere in the stands which then transmits onto the pitch and hopefully spurs the players on.
But why should the supporters use their energy getting behind players like Bothroyd who strolls around, never gets a sweat on and is ultimately completely unproductive?
The majority of fans I’ve spoken to would be glad to see the back of Bothroyd.
And he isn’t the only player who really hasn’t been up to much of late.
So how can we blindly support a team and a manager that have seemed to have lost their way so badly with no likely route back to success?
Mick admitted his mistake when he stupidly sent Craddock to Stoke, so why can’t he admit his mistakes now rather than constantly saying he is ugly enough to take the criticism on the chin?
And how about blooding in Liam Hughes who has just been named as BBC WM young’s player of the month and can obvious score a goal or two despite his non-Irish roots?
It’ll be interesting to see what team Mick sticks out against Scunthorpe this weekend.
Jarvis and Eastwood surely must be given the nod and let’s see if Mick has the balls to replace Stephen Ward with new boy David Edwards.
Good luck to the boys on Saturday and let’s hope our miserable run comes to an end.

When you say, “The bizarre strategy of playing midfielders out of position, ignoring the successful youth players from last season..,” do you EVER read what has been said? MM has said he would love to play Davies and Gobern, but they have been injured. I can just imagine either of them being useful, winning the midfield battle with their crutches or walking sticks. Let’s hear it for Rosa instead. (Oh, I forgot, he’s injured too.) Kights has been injured, and cannot be played. Maybe we should make him play whilst injured, and have a midfield of Kights, Davies Gobern and Rosa. Mick has seen the need for a midfielder, and has bought David Edwards. As others come back from injury, I am sure we will see an improvement in our fortunes.
You make me laugh. You turn in opinion borders on the ridiculous. To think up untill your last two blogs I agreed with most of what you said.
Nathan, I’ve followed the same trajectory as you for the same reasons. I love your blog today except for one thing: the jibe about Irish players.
Including Michael McIndoe, Mick McCarthy has signed nineteen players (more than one a month!) since he came to Wolves. Of the remaining eighteen, only six have experience playing for Ireland at any level.
Out of eighteen signings, only six are known to McCarthy through being qualified to play for Ireland (three of them born in England), eight are English, two are Scottish (as was Michael McIndoe) and two are born-in-England lads but qualified to play for Wales.
Your Irish jibe is unworthy of you.
Your right Nathan, MM has consistantly changed the front 2, moved midfielders left, right and in the center, defenders, well only he knows where, the only guy on the field who khows where he is definatly playing in his right position is poor young HENN. He has had to stop more shots this season because his midfield cant hold up the ball and the defence is swomped.
Is it not time MM when on holiday and left the kit man in charge.
IT CAN NOT GET ANY WORSE.
well blogged
i completly agree, and great verdict in my opinion, iv said i would love mm to proof me wrong, but there just no signs of improvment, no different ideas with same boring players on the pitch
if i was mick tommorow i would shake them up, throw in the 2new guys and couple youth players like gleeson if fit and this hughes kid give freddy 90mins dont just start him then sub him or vice versa just give him blinking 90mins for a change.
well said! and Mccarthy does not have teh backign of 80-90% of fans. He has to admit his mistakes! I dont think ward is a bad player but he shoudl not be first choice but a useful squad/sub. Boothroyd just doesnt try, he has a nice touch (mostly!) but is nto going to get us goals and far to lazy! He shoudl be nowhere near the team.
Dave Edwards is not a left winger - so he won’t be playing in place of Stephen Ward.
The young players you refer too are injured.
Bothroyd has also done more for the side this year than many of the other (albeit poor) strikers.
So perhaps you would like to get the basics of your article right before going to print?
HERE HERE NATHAN.MICKS TOTALLY WRONG AND I WOULD SAY ITS MORE LIKE 8 OUT OF 10 WHO WANT HIM GONE
AND RIGHTLY SO !!!!
GET BIG SAM OR PAUL INCE IN ASAP
Im disappointed with this blog my fellow Nathan I have to say. From the first 3 words of the article I could tell it was going to be another derogatory blog.
You mention ignoring the successful youth players, I hope you are not referring to the injured Davies and Gobern!
I think the only part of the blog I agree on is the poor scoring record of the forwards, 24 in 27 is unacceptable, although I don’t put the blame solely on the forwards! Saying that I would like to see at least 1 maybe 2 put on the transfer list, 6 forwards on the books is not good!
On a personal level Nathan, are you a boo boy? From the tone of your blog I am guessing you are! If this is the case…..shame on you!!!!
In defense to Nathan, maybe this blog was written before he had information to the youngsters in question being injured, for months the majority of you have all echoed what Nathan has put in his blog today, he is being there the voice of you all over previous weeks.
You all have opinions, whether they grumbles or positives, but too verbally bash Nathan for his are wrong.
MM keeps Bothroyd in the team to take the corners is it me being a little Swedish or should he be in the box when a corner is taken Oh i forget its Irish
We now have a better squad (if you also include the lads coming back from injury). I’m sure we will also add a defender this month.
We will have 2 players to cover every position (if you also include players out on loan). So Mick will no longer have to pick players out of position. So if he does, then it is certainly blind favouritism and he will be doing the square peg in round holes thing he said he wouldn’t.
Over to you Mick. Its now or never for Wolves and you. These will be the most important 4 months of your Wolves career. GET IT RIGHT!
No.1 Brereton Wolf; how about playing Mark Little, Daniel Jones, Rob Edwards, Stephen Gleeson, Charlie Mulgrew and even Elliott Bennett. They are not injured and nor was Rosa for the earlier part of the season. And since he has returned to fitness Jarvis hasn’t had much opportunity. And then there is Freddie. Dropped at Sheffield United when in a rich vein of goalscoring form.
We all know Davies and Gobern are injured; when is Gobern not injured? So my friend Nathan has got it about right. It was great having McCarthy here until these selection cock ups. So to all thoses who think we are anti Mick please realise it wasn’t always so.
Couldn’t we play 2-3-5 formation? Maybe I am living in the past but it worked for us then (the glory years). I keep looking for rumours of a transfer in of a good, strong, young centre half - just what we need but will we be getting one?
Number 3 Well said.
i do agree with nathan 2 a certain level but hes is off the mark on this blog.
MM has sed he wants 2 play Davo n Gobern but THERE INJURED.
yeah the strickers haven’t been scoreing BUT neither would u if u had no confidance in ya!just give 2 strikers 10 games to play together!let them get 2 no how they play etc etc…..
Where does this edawards play iv been told LM, LB CM?
MM stated that playoffs it will be difficult 2 get into the play offs?surly not?only 4 points off plus we got 2 play the likes of WBA, charlton, cardiff,bristol, stoke, palace, ipswich!!!all there or there abouts!
we can do but im not sure that i want 2 with the current management.
Wacky
I`m surposed to be the silent majoraty but carn`t stand by reading what mm is reported to be saying.He needs to start putting into action the words he spoke when he first became manager. “players who do not perform on a regular basis will find themselves out of the team” The weaknesses in the team are pretty plain to see, if you need to solect three defensive midfielders to protect a poor defence we need to strengthen our back four. Starting with two central defenders who can not only head the ball but also find one of his team mates. They need to be quick in mind and feet and be able to pass the ball acurately short and long. At the moment our central pair have very little of these skills. We also need a left back with speed and stamima to last the whole game, to partener an attacking left midfielder.Please read this one mick your job may depend on it. THE SILENT MAJORATY (not any more)
Why hasnt Daniel Jones been given the opportunities that he enjoyed last year when we had more competition for the wide left role? The lack of creativity coming from the left flank has been a huge factor in our poor goals tally!
This is 1 decision that MM has baffled me with!
I feel i must defend Nathan my fellow blogger, he is asked to write about his own feelings on what is happening at the Wolves.
From what i have read (blogs from Wolves fans) recently he is just echoing what many Wolves fans have said, i can assure you he is a season ticket holder who only wants the best for his club.
I seem to remember when he was remaining positive about MM he was being slated by many readers, i know Wolves fans are split on this subject, and things are not all well, but turning on one of your own is a bit wrong.
Well said Nathan, agreewith all you have said, I have supported Wolves since 1962 and I have seen some pretty poor performances over the years but not since the Bhatti bros reign have I been so disappointed and disgusted with the utter rubbish that was servrd up as entertainment at Molineux last saturday against Palace, I have lost all confidence in this once great club of ours. I would also think that we have other players besides Gobern and Davies who could come in and do a job for the team but muppet mick is so far up his own backside that he,s got stuck up there! I don,t like doing this but I predict a 2-0 scoreline to Scunthorpe on saturday at Glanford Park! I still can,t see where the next goal is going to come from unless McCarthy drastically changes his tactics.
if the manager and coaching staff had worked properly with the players, there would be no need every match for mick (like megson) to be constantly shouting instructions to the players. Surely the players should know what they have to do, during the game and be allowed to think for themselves. Its a bit late to be doing the weeks coaching during the game and I think the coaching staff need to be looked at, aswell as the casual attitude of the senior management !
i agree with you Nathan MM does need to sort out the midfield and try playing a set two up front instead of constantly chopping and changing, get rid of S Ward and lazy Bothroyd, but im still behind mick. i sit in row z of the south bank and im not a boo boy.
If you go to the Wolves matches, you will see that 10-20% is about right at the Molineux. There seems to be booing from the South Stand (not bashing, just stating facts from where I sit) but not the majority elsewhere. The innane cries of “Freddy, Freddy” cannot be good for any striker on the field. It’s up to Freddy to show when he does get on the field that he is worth the starting place next game. In my own opinion, he has not been doing it all season, but appears to be trying harder recently, and is certainly more worthy of the shirt than Jay Bothroyd, who does not appear to be too bothered. Elliott is a tryer, and does at leat get into the box. Keogh is dynamic, but unfortunately doesn’t score enough. He would certainy be worth a try in a 4-3-3 formation if it was tried. Ebanks-Blake must surely be given a run, having just arrived. If I was MM I would try a run of four or five games with FE and SEB. SEB in the box, and FE arriving late might work well. If Edwards continues his usual box-to-box style, he will be a good foil for the strikers, as it will unsettle defenders.
Another good blog and well said 14 Desborough Wolf, you’ve said exactly what I was going to say. Those fans who say that they are the only real fans because they follow Mick like he’s a messiah, have you ever thought that a lot of fans have followed the club for years through thick and thin but are getting ever more frustrated by MM’s excuses and nonsensical tactic of playing people out of position. The injury excuse is poor. Yes 2 players have been injured but there are others who could do a good job but don’t get a sniff of first team action
Desborough Wolf, Fair comments, but maybe they are not yet quite ready. (Gleeson being the exception, as he certainly is.) MM had a chance to look at most of the above last season, and maybe feels they are as yet not ready for the Championship, but will be. The reason for sending them out on loan is to get them experience playing in a lower league, which will progress them further. In my opinion, (could be wrong) Mulgrew and Rob Edwards are not good enough.
Congratulations Nathan Llyod, fan the fires of idiocy, big pat on the back.
Very disappointed with this effort from our resident blogger, and fellow resident of the Steve Bull, who seemed to make reasonable sense until recently.
Yes the season has not been great so far, but some of the stuff we played up until a similar time last season was not so good either. Remember the capitulation to WBA in the FA Cup on the 28th January 2007? Who could forget?
To make a further comparison, our last league game before that defeat was a home loss to Cardiff. This result meant we were 10th in the table, 3 points off a play off place, having scored 30 goals in 29 games.
Is this really so different to our current situation?
I am not claiming that everything in the garden is rosy, and yes, some of the recent team selections have been bewildering, to say the least. However, after the efforts of last season, I believe that Mick and the team deserve to be given the rest of the season to turn round our fortunes. Especially considering the injuries to key players in recent weeks.
Yes we want an improvement on what we are currently seeing, yes we want to see exciting football, yes we want more goals, but please don’t let our hopes and expectations (currently expressed as booing) crush the confidence out of what is still a largely young and inexperienced side.
As a final comment, I would request that you lay off the anti Irish jibes, which strike me as being borderline racist. Before publishing such comments, I would ask that you carry out one simple check. Look at what you have written and replace the word Irish with a reference to another ethnic group of your choosing. If that revised comment could be percieved as racist, then so can the Irish references.
HE HAS SAID DAVIES AND GOBERN HAVE BEEN INJURED. I don’t think you should bother to write a blog if you want Mick to go because he isn’t going anywhere yet. We’ve all just got to support him at least till the end of the season. Come on Wolves’ fans, lets get a reputation for fantastic support even when we are losing. I don’t want to classed as fickle so SING YOUR HEARTS OUT LADS!!
I think that some people clutch at any straw as far as MM goes.
Gobern and Davies may well have been injured but to what extent is questionable. There have been reports concerning their injuries that have differed dramatically over the season, I know people at the club that have spoken directly to Mark Davis and I have to say it contradicts what the club say officially.
Even so, there is lots more talent than just the three that have been mentioned!
Moxey is the King of spin and is obviously telling MM what to say, but to say that only 10 - 20% of Wolves fans are dissatisfied is plainly very stupid, I fear it will come back and bite him on the bum!
This will probably drag on to the summer, and mid-table is about where we deserve to be. What worries me is how much we will have to rebuild when we inevitably loose Kightly and Hennessey, and how much money will we be able to sell our strike force for?
I would think that Moxey will be having real nightmares about that!
One last thing:
Nathan - ‘I told you so’!
blog is ok. We have been rubbish for the last 10 games though not 8. Preston and colchester were the start of the rot
Brereton Wolf I thought you might say that and you may be right (with the exception of Rosa) who has never been given a chance. But my main point is these youngsters coudn’t do any worse than the drivel being served up at the moment. So there may be nothing to lose.
You lot are fickle, now calling Nathan a racist….strong words coming from people that for the majority of the season have gone about the Irish/Sunderland link.
26 & 27
I take it you were only happy with the blogs when you agreed with them or when they reflected your own views?
As for the racist comments ‘Tamewolf’ please save the ‘PC’ rhetoric for your flower pressing class, we are talking about football here and it is all about opinions and as you can tell I completely disagree with all of yours!
“Mad” Mick still has my support, as does my club. Just because things are difficult does not mean I am going to turn.
Rebuilding Wolves after the disaster of Hoddle and all that happened before is going to take a long time to sort out, and with every manager sacked it will just take longer.
Back the club or go and play tiddly winks instead.
Oh Nathan! I so often agree with you but this is twaddle.
I’m not against criticising the manager (I didn’t want him in the first place) but at least get your facts straight before you do.
Do we really want to call for Mick’s head on a plate now? Getting someone new in is just as likely to plunge us into a relegation battle as it is to lift us.
I’m as frustrated as anyone over some of Mick’s selections. I’ve been complaining about Stephen Ward from day one, I often can’t believe Mick’s choice of forwards and his failure to use Jarvis is exasperating. That said, I don’t know the full story. How fit has Jarvis been? He’s come back from a long injury and then picked up a knock during his return. Maybe MM has been right to hold him back a little. Let’s face it, there were enough complaining that he’d let Kightly back too soon. I also accept that he can only use the players he has fit at any point in time.
I do struggle to see how he couldn’t use Rosa when he was fit. I don’t agree with the regularity of rotating forwards. Nor do I agree with preferring Elliott to Eastwood.
I still don’t believe that sacking the manager now is the right thing to do. We need to see what Mick can do in the transfer window to improve the squad further. We then need to see if he can turn around the season like he managed last year.
If he fails to turn us around then he should have the decency to walk himself.
Now look all you wolves fans, we need to stick together.
Lets face it MM is going no where for this season (i wish he would), if we don’t like it, then we are going to have to lump it (like our defenders do, missing midfield on the way).
What i will say now though, is to shed the expectation we had at the beginning of the season, as it ain’t going to happen now.
Lets support the team through thick and thin like we all have over the years. Yes we have been there, knocked out by Chorley, Half a ground shut, the John Ireland stand 80 yds from the pitch, Twoddle and now Mad Mic.
Just support the team like we did last season, but please get rid of the EXPECTATION.
C’Mon you Wolves, Keep the Faith.
Wolves booboy (21), you make a valid point about coaching the players BEFORE a game and not during it. Has anyone seen Ferguson, Wenger or Sven ranting and raving at their players? No the odd hand expression or the odd shout is enough for the players because they know their jobs and go about doing them!
As for the injured players, how many have been injured ALL SEASON?
To quote just one, Rosa, he was playing very well back in September/October when the signs were there that we were beginning to dry up scoring goals but did Mad Mick play him? NO because he did not fit in with the play of the first team! Total nonsense!
There are so many negatives attached to McCarthy which last season were ignored because we did “so well” but this time they are haunting him! Last season he started with nothing, so he had nothing to lose unless we were relegated but as a result of what happened, this season the expectation was lifted but he along with HIS players have not been able to repeat the feat. Someone will no doubt try to point out that we still have 3.5 months left to turn things around but if we cannot do it in the first 5 months, why will we suddenly do it in the last 3.5?
It this was possible why don’t teams in the relegation zones ALL fight their way of trouble if it is that easy?
As for Nathan the blogger turning “turncoat” in some peoples eyes, at least he has taken off the rose-coloured glasses and is facing reality unlike many on here who seem to believe that pigs might fly!
Oh look there’s one flying past my window now!
Great BLOG couldn’t agree more
SACK HIM NOW BEFORE HE WASTES ANY MORE TIME AND MONEY
Like Nippy 3. I am getting tired at this stage of hearing about Irish and ex Sund. players. Why are some fans making such an issue of this? Please drop it.
So what if some of the players are Irish. Surely the issue is if they are good enough, or not, as individual players. If they are not, then drop them.
Wolves have many Irish fans, like me, that have supported the team for years. What about Derek Dougan, he was Irish? Did he not bring joy to the fans?
In the words of Harry Hill……..”fight”….
And now I read that Stephen Ward has been given a new extended contract for further two years at the Club!
Where is the logic in this?
Maybe he is suitable for another two years in the Championship……………!
n0.29,you are spot on about mark davies.i can’t say to much,because i know the family but let’s just say he say’s he is fit & wants to play.
Micks got my backing 100% i dont like how people are sayin they want davies to play, they want rosa to play and so on. For a start, davies is injured.. and the majority of the fans who want rosa in, are proberbly the ones who booed him when he played first team football and wanted him out. As much as fans say they can boo because theyve paid for their own ticket n that twaddle. Youve paid to go and see them win, and even though mick is messing around with the team, playin people anywhere, which i disaprove of, and booing is going to get us no where. Some wolves fans need to sit dwn n fink are they with the right team? anwyaz all of you who are loyal and actually go to the games, lets have a good turn out dwn scunthorpe on saturday! come on boys!!!
42.
I saw him the other day, drop a stone and maybe he is fit.
azzadavis(43), my comment to you is, go back to school, learn how to spell English properly and then maybe, just maybe you can write sensible words that people will understand!
43.
I bet Mick feels a whole lot better knowing he has your backing.
Or is that;
U am 100% sayin u’m be’ind im coz thats the sort ov fans weem needin. if yuum sayin different then u am no fan of the wolvos!
I dont know what poll Mick was reading when he claimed 80% of the fans were behind him, judging on what Ihave read matches I have been too (every home) and listening to fans comments I would say that he probaly has 20% support.This man is totaly arrogant and it will be his downfall.
33.
We all have our opinions, and they will always differ. It would be a sad and boring world if they didn’t, but I find your comments a little strange.
Basically, I was talking about football, you were talking about football.
You have your opinion, which I disagree with, I have mine, which you disagree with.
That is surely the whole point of these discussion boards, to allow people to express their views, however different and varied they may be.
However, just because I believe that anti Irish comments are unnecessary and do not make any meaningful contribution to the debate does not mean that I am wallowing in a world of ‘PC rehotoric’.
Now, I must be off, I have some lovely roses and carnations over here that could do with a damn good pressing…………
well said nathan agree with everything you said.and 21 wolves-booboy you are to right the coaching ataff are not good enough and rather than keep on about sacking the manager no way its the coaching staff we should get rid of get the likes of bully and other former players in as coaching staff they know what it means to be at wolves and would put everything into it even if they have to get sammy lee in as no2 at least he is a good coach but not a manager hes got a good football brain and likes to keep the ball on the ground.
forgot to say mick aint going no where
SPOT ON NATHAN AGAIN!!!!!
MM has lost the plot, too stubborn and he needs to go. He wont pick Freddie, he wont drop Stephen Ward.
Such a numpty he needs to go.
MICK OUT!
What we are witnessing now is the same as we witnessed under Hoddle and at the end of Dave Jones reign.
Players out of position, players not trying, boring games, no excitement, bland season, MM losing the plot.
Hardly the type of stuff to encourage the existing supporters- NO chance of it winning more supporters.
Wolves are going backwards, “young and hungry” players is club code for low budget transfers, theres only a couple player in the squad that would get aplace into a premiership side.
Gates are falling 5 seasons on the trot, league achievemens have never been higher than the play off positions since Hayward came and now thats supposed to be too tough for the fragile personalities that pretend to be footballers at Wolves every week.
Since we beat the baggies at Molineux last seasion we have only averaged 1.24 points a game. No win in 8 games. Despite buying 8 strikers we havent scored enough goals, got no midfield creativity and our latest hope comes from Luton!
Any body as why hes at Luton, my gues is because he aint good enough for Everton for example
It hurts me deeply to se my club like this but its simple fact Wolves are going nowhere at the moment -
Ive lost all faith in MM he is a limited coach except for when he talks to the press then he’s full of excuses (eastwood looked tired, Blake looked tired) Collins cant play at Molineux, the fans are too expectant, load of bull,
I acnt see any progress this year or next with this team and by that I mean with the players with MM and with TC and the rest
Wholesale chnage - but that costs and some of SM smoneys alreday gone
Its poor poor poor
Afternoon my fellow Wolves fans.
Thank for your comments on the blog.
I did know about the injuries to Rosa, Gobern, Davies and Kights before I wrote the blog, but my point is that McCarthy has has the opportunity all season to play some of the kids and hasn’t done so.
I write my thoughts on what is happening at the club right now and I try to be as honest and frank as I can. I don’t expect or want everyone to agree with me, that would just be boring.
But I have not suddenly changed my opinion of Mick McCarthy. I have just become increasingly frustrated at our performances lately and that boils down to management of the club.
I desperately want our fortunes to change, but I can’t just write a cuddly positive blog, I have to express what I really think.
Anyway, here’s to a win at Scunny.
Ta.
i’ve raed all the above and everybody has there opinions and are allowed to express them(within reason)but you have to look at how MM has changed from last season ,last season he played a fit and young side with all the ball boy’s and girl’s each with a ball so that the game could be played with pace and it worked. this season he’s slowed the game right down and killed the team that believed they could do anything and beat anyone last season and also the relationship he built up with the fans has gone now and unless it turns around quick he’ll never get it back,MM to go
Any response to all the comments Nathan?
55.RealistWolves
How is Nathan in a position to comment on the above? He is just a fan who writes the blog.
Why don’t you comment on the above?
id rather have rosa, kightly, gobern and davies injured then ward, henry and potter fit. and can he just hurry up and sign sum defenders. stop faffin about, do what QPR have done and give em what they want. we’ve got the money!!
Nathan,
I find this hard to swallow and but I have to agree with you,McCarthy will have to do aomething drastic or he will find himself along with the likes of Sam Allardyce,out of a job
Too many players played out of position and too many excuses.We had a hatful of chances against Palace but we can’t put them away.
53 NL - just reflects how poorly informed you are about the club… I’m interested to know whether you actually go to any games or just like to spout off in cyber space!?
I think we’re all a bit frustrated about recent form and selections from the FIT members of our squad but the impatience thats developed over the season, because we’ve got money again, is pathetic. I’m no happy clapper but the booing from our ‘fans’(?) last Saturday really p’d me off and its ill informed trash like this that whips the bad feeling up. Research and understand the situation or zip it
59-you are so right- there is only one problem at the wolves- the albion are at the top, if they were below us you would,nt hear a peep and just ask the south bank who they hate-er,erm who is it again oh yeh I know the albion isn’t it?? Get behind the lads through thick and thin and “support” the team manager as well, you never know you might be surprised- WE DON’T WANT INCE or am I being recist!!!!!
56.
Joke mate.
59.Nortonwolf
I’ve been a Season ticket holder for nearly 20 years and I go to as many away games as I can. If you are located in the Steve Bull stand, you can always come over for a chat?
How am I ill informed?
Nathan you’ve touched a nerve with some wolves fans, but realistically your opinions and thoughts are hard to swallow for some very loyal wolves fans we could be 2nd from bottom and still these die hard fans would’nt change their opinons.I SAY THIS before the season kicked off WHO in their right mind would have taken 24 GOALS! SCORED IN LATE JANUARY! if there was an opinion poll amongst wolves fans. we all know what the outcome would have been a resounding 100% against and what does that tell you!!!
35. Wet Wolf
Balanced and articulate views. I echo every word. Only adding that is seems apparent to me M.M. has settled for staying in the Championship for at least this season. If that can be achieved!
Up the Wolves.
Nathan Lloyd and the Express & Star are an absolute joke.
If Mick does go, lets hope you go with him!
I know we all have our opinions of what makes a good well balanced team, but how many of you bloggers out there have any experience of professional management and coaching a football club? NONE I suspect cos you ain’t doing it now!!! Please stop the carping!
I guess the essence or beauty of football is that is all based on opinion and the current dilema at Molineux is I believe splitting the faithful.
I sometimes wonder whether I am watching the same game as other writers. Bothroyd - I really dont think he has done to bad this season neither has S.Ward for that matter. We have scapegoats at the Mol and these are no different. Bothroyd on average has done more than any other forward this season. I guess the way he ’strolls round’ or the fact he wears gloves does nothing to warm him to the ’simple’ loyal support.
I agree that something has to give and has to give sooner rather than later. I want mick to be given the benefit of the doubt purely because he has bought so many things to this club that we were in so dire need of - Heart, Hard Work, playing for the shirt, each other etc. Qualities that were so sadly lacking during the 90’s.
He has continued to baffle supporters with selections etc and I am no different. However, I think we can get it right and we need our support to continue.
Stop picking on individuals otherwise I see a continued descent towards the darkness of the last 15 years, a place I felt we were just beginning to remove ourselves from.
turkwolf, you are an idiot.
To have an opinion on football to have to have managed at the professional management or coaching?
Muppet.
have you all gone mad.8points off playoffs with players playing out ov position.judge mm when he has full sqaud 2 choose from.do we go out and spend millions just 2 keep the minority happy?weve tried this before just more money wasted.rome wasnt built in a day,if it that bad take a break.
mick mccarthy has had since the summer to sort the shambles out. But hes just shown how limited he is as a manager! Neil collins,Gary Breen,Darren Ward, are all not good enough and to slow even for the championship let alone premiership.Karl Henry,Darren Potter,Steven Ward? are never going to make it,and add to the list of players brought in by kermit who lack any quality! Its down to Mick the Muppet why this season has been a disaster and how can any wolves fan see a bright future with him in charge is beyond me!
27. The PC birgade are out in force again. Now we can’t mention the word ‘Irish’ for fear of insulting someone.
cpt wolves
I’m talking about informed opinion, not pub talk where we all think we know better. How about a bit of support for the team instead of comments like some bloggers are posting above eg Scunthorpe to win 2-0. Who’s the muppet now?
Changing the manager every two years is ridiculous.MM has done a good job so far and always talks more sense than Glen Twaddle.Ithink he needs better quality in his coaching team and better support from the terraces.Paul Ince could not manage the current situation any differently,if your strikers aren’t scoring,no one is happy.The season isn’t over,calm down,let’s get behind the men with the gold shirts on.
if you are a true wolf then support the team whoever the starting 11 is. if not then take yourself off to the hawthorns with all the other muppets/////gold@black till i die
