Michael Kightly today began banging the drum for a memorable Molineux finale in Sunday’s Championship Play-Off deciders.
Wolves squad will get a run out at tonight’s Darren Wrack testimonial at Walsall before resting up and returning to training on Friday to begin preparations for the all-important Plymouth clash.
And Kightly is appealing to the Molineux faithful to help Mick McCarthy’s team deliver the result which will pile the pressure on Crystal Palace and Watford, the teams barring Wolves entry to the top six.
“We need to come out all guns blazing on Sunday and if the fans can make it a fortress for us then it will really help,” says Kightly.
“I’ve no doubt in my mind that is what they will do, really get behind us and we can come out flying.
We need to win the game and hopefully we can do that. It is a pressure game but that’s the same for Watford and Palace.
“We’ve had some big games now even though we’re a young squad. At Leicester last year we went a goal down after two minutes and turned that around.
“We’ve got big characters in the team and that will help us get the result we need.”
Kightly has made a triumphant return to the first team after a five month injury lay-off and is desperate for the season to be extended by a second successive appearance in the Play Offs.
Wolves need to win while hoping Palace or Watford slip up and will be encouraged that Southampton’s draw at The Hawthorns last night raises the stakes for Blackpool, still not sure of safety, at home to Watford.
“I got 60 minutes last Tuesday and just over 75 at Coventry so hopefully by Sunday I’ll be full throttle,” he says.
“If Palace draw and we win we’re there and if Watford draw and we get a few goals we’re there so we’re still in with a chance.
“Conceding late on against Ipswich and then drawing on Saturday when we feel we should have won makes it a bit disappointing we’re not in there already.
“We’d have preferred to go into the last day with it in our own hands but we’ll keep fighting right to the end.”

WE ALWAYS DO OUR BIT MIKE..UNFORTUNATELY IT’S YOU LOT ON THE PITCH THAT ARE LETTING THE CLUB DOWN..IF YOU WERE GETTING RESULTS YOU WOULDN’T NEED TO KEEP GOING TO THE MEDIA AND BEGGING FOR SUPPORT.
DO YOUR TALKING ON THE PITCH MATE.
Talking of ‘banging the drum’, whatever happened to the Southbank ‘band’. How awful were they!!
They were almost as cringeworthy as the SEB song!
Well here we go again another player on about us “getting behind the team” well we’ve done that loads and you let us down boys, now stop making excuses and do ur talking on the pitch !!! lets beat the pasty boys and hope that watford or palce slip up !!!! see you at the mol !!!
1, Completely agree.
We’ve done our bit all season. 6000 fans at Cov, full house against Sandwell etc etc, yet nothing to sing about.
Shut up and win and dont forget, we pay to watch, you get your cheque whatever the result.
You owe us for this seasons support.
lol I meant palace
COME ON WOLVES !!!
ridiculous comments from kites. Season has been a shambles due to you and your mates failing to deliver on the pitch week in and week out.I will not criticise kites performances and his injury hasnt helped but as far as i am concerned the rest of the team should hang there heads in shame for not gaining automatic promotion in the weakest championship for years. simply not good enough, end of !!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. And I thought it was just me, not an easy name to make a decent song up to though is it, and thank god the bands gone, all they did was murder a few classics
I’ve got to admit, this is getting a bit tyresome, whether its the E&S making up the stories, but one for for sure the fans do know exactly how important the game is on Sunday.
In other words if we don’t make the playoffs, it’s our fault.
More great spin from the Molineux spin machine!
I wonder who could be responsible for all the clapp-trapp this season?
Does they have a fake tan and three chins by any chance?
Can’t wait till Monday, I bet they’ll be spinning for England!
I am confident of a Wolves Win and SEB to dish out the punishment against his old club.
To be honest I am relying more on Watford losing because I can’t see Palace losing at home to burnley.
C’MON WOLVES FANS KEEP THE FAITH
IT AINT OVER TILL ITS OVER!
wow 4:Sandwell - i got accused of being negative in a previous post, i think you have won that trophy for the year mate!
In a strange way I agree though.
All this talk is nonsense. Talk is cheap, do your job on the pitch and you will get in the prem regardless of us supporters (hopefully with wolves though).
1- Well said my fellow southbankonian!!
I guess we need to buy better fans for next season for the team to get anywhere.
13. Next season
What a damn good idea, I’m going to pass that on to the ‘Moxey think tank’!
1 Southbank - sorry mate, missed your comments. BANG ON THOUGH FELLA!!!!!!
No13 exactly I totaly agree but please NO SOFA SLOBBERITES
Nathanwolves, I think ive been quite positive this season, Ive been one of the few to back Mick all season, and ive always predicted a Wolves win on match day on these pages, just ask abdonwolf and my stubborn loyalty.
Truth is though, with so many false dawns this season im left really disappointed with this Wolves team, I cant stand losing to the Albion and we never seem to win our big games.
Im getting fed up, only a miracle Sunday will cheer me up, its unlikely, so im gonna be negative for now just to let off steam.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION
How refreshing to see sensible posts. Apart from LAWT74. Still there has to be one prat from Sandwell to join the other thousands!
17. Sandwell massive??
It’s true Nathanwolves!
Sandwell has been giving me stick about my negativity all season!
He is only a recent convert to the ‘dark side’
We are growing more powerful by the day now - it’s only a matter of time!
MUPPET DAY OF RECKONING WILL SOON BE UPON US!
Fans always do there job and we the fans PAY for the privilage, irrelative of which team we support its you the players that are paid thousands per week that need to do play there part!!
nath wolves..hiya mate and no problem.
southbank s5..thanks brother..we can always rely on the southbank to keep it real..pity the rest of molineux can’t be as PASSIONATE AND HONEST AS US!!!!!!!.
baggieboy..spot on fella.
Nobody can slag off kites!!!!!!!!!!!!! He always gives 100% and has been out since November!! Have a go at the mercenaries. This guy bleeds gold and black and is only asking for our support! If we had a team full of Michael Kightly’s we would have been promoted by Christmas, providing they stayed fit!
I have been positive as well Sandwell all season. Although I have always said that MM will be judged at the end of the season. He said at the start, judge him at the end, he said he wanted to win it and that can’t happen now.
He now has no excuses, it is totally his own team and if they do not do it this season then I will join the “dark side” as abdon put it.
Just hope I don’t have too!!!!
southbank s5..apparently the band were a typical championship act..but according to moxey if we get in the premier..he’s gonna get led zeppelin or amy winehouse..WHOOPPEEEEE.
The Emperor (abdonwolf) awaits us Nathan.
Obe Wan Elokobi, tried to save me from the master but now the force (McCarthy and staff) have disappointed me.
The Empire has plans for us Nathanwolf.
we are albion and we are in the prem WE ARE ALBION AND WE ARE IN THE PREM we are albion and we are in the prem boing boing gone up the MOWBRAY WAY
Anybody who has played football at any kind of competative level will know that the fans have no bearing on what happens on the pitch! Players and management only talk like this when what they are doing is not good enough! It must be our fault then that our manager and team have performed so poorly this season. I have been a Wolves supporter for 50 years now and I have never seen this club with such a poor manager and we have had some bad ones!!
..just how many more articles do we need to read from substandard players suggesting the fans are the reason we aren’t the Baggies and going up!
We are a championship team and based on Morgan the Moron’s comments yesterday, likely to stay one for the forseeable future. He doesn’t want premiership football at wolves.
If we did get promoted he would have to spend real time sorting out the club and he can’t be bothered as long as he has a nice “little earner”.
Still all to play for!!!!
Come on Wolves!!
I believe the fans have less of a part to play than Watford or Palace players. In fact if we all pray for divine intervention we may just make the playoffs
25 Barmy - Led Zeppelin are at the wolves most weeks…….I often see me old mate Rob walking up the hill to the SOUTHBANK. Dunno where he sits tho, probably the billy ‘not so quiet nowadays’ stand.
Talkin of quite….you dont get many NORTH BANKERS on here do ya Barmy?? SSHHHHHHHHHHHH
Im going for a 2 nil win sunday…SEB to get both.
Let’shope the South Bank can celebrate without resorting to the pathetic Mexican Wave!!
Get behind the lads ALL match, no matter which players are picked!!
(32) Robs in the noisey Steve Bull stand.
I think we will get a 2-1 win and Watford 1-1.
Good enouth COME ON YOU WOLVES
Yes I agree with Kites. Let get behind the team with all guns blazing. and make the game a fortress for 90 minutes.
I think that we are due a good win, with all the fans behind the team then hopefully the team can also deliver.
After the final whistle we can all then turn those blazing guns on MM who has failed us this year.
Bye Bye Mick your time is up.
Ive been posting comments on here now saying come on wolves fans give them all your support.. and thats what weve all done time and time again!!! Most of us have lost our voices on the terraces encouraging the team on!!! There only so much we can do Mike the rest is up to you lot… COME ON WOLVES
southy s5.. yeah planty has got his own box now.
HEADBANGIN’ THE SOUTHBANK WAY..IN STYLE OF COURSE..OH YES!!!
TERRYCOMINGSTRAIGHTBACKDOWNBAGGIE..DERBY SET YOU A TARGET OF 11 POINTS..HMMM BIG ASK MATE..DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT IT?.
29 Quality Counts :
You and your conspiracy theory buddies on this here site really do none of us any good. What evidence do you have of Morgan not wanting this club to get in the premiership ? Have you spoken to him ? Do you have Watergate type recordings of him and Moxey chuckling to themselves like Bond Badies, smoking cigars and stroking white cats ? Seriously, you’re entitled to your opinion, but before you start airing acusations in public forums, some form of concrete proof is required for your argument to hold water.
Kightly said - “…….if the fans can make it a fortress for us then it will really help,”
Ain’t that the defenders job………….he needs to have a word in Collins’s ear me thinks.
He’s right, 28,000 of us on the goal line and we might scrape a 0-0
Trouble is Kites the “all guns blazin’” only lasts for the first ten minites and then we take our foot off the gas and the trouble starts.
#38. Proof? Morgan came in with, he said, 30M to invest in the club. He didn’t do it. If he had I am sure we would be there with the Baggies who did spend the money to go up.
The reality is that his investment of 10 quid and a bit here and there has gotten him a good extra bonus when we sell SEB, Hennessey and Eastwood.
If you have an owner wanting to get into the Premiership and have the type of money he said he has then we would be up there.
For sure he hasn’t invited me to a board meeting so there must be a bit of guesswork.
The question to you Londonwolf is simple, if he wants to get us promoted why hasn’t he invested in the players who have the experience to get us there? “Where’s the beef” as an old commercial enquired years ago.
No one with half a brain can see any indication of Morgan wanting to get out of the championship. The effort, read money, hasn’t been forthcoming has it? Have we seen any statements in the last four months that Premiership is his goal? He did mention the playoffs though. That’s championship football.
A few pennies and a lot of hype from Moxey has us with a long shot at getting beaten in the playoffs. That’s a double statement as if we get there we are going to have our asses kicked.
get a grip all of you wolves doubters, your suppose to support the club.
get behind ALL of them
can’t see palace or watford slipping up at such an important time to b honest. As soon as we don’t make it mick should be recieveing his P45
AMY WINEHOUSE IS ALREADY BOOKED FOR HIGH BARNET!
What wrong with you all? Yes the team have been poor for most of the season but so has the performance of some of the fans! I much prefered it last year when the doom merchants weren’t there. All you’ve done this season is jump on the Molineux band wagon and moaned when we were not good enough!
I will support the lads and clap them off whatever the result. You lot will just disappear 10 mins before the end what ever the result.
I’ve only seen the wolves a couple of times this season but they can’t do anymore.Sorry but its up 2 the players to provide mostly the manager.Get MM out!!!
Well the team isn’t likely to get us in the play offs. Maybe a combination of the fans, Blackpool and Burnley might.
I wouldn’t slag off Kites like the first commenter though, he can hardly be held accountable and is one of our few quality players.
freddy`s mates will want him in team now he`s scored against walsall,bet he tore past goodman and walker and wrack like they were in their 30`s, oops they are,
Agree with most ere, we’ve doe our bit for most part of the season but its Kites’ team mates and the manager who have let us down
Newbridge Wolf…what is wrong with the SEB song? I think its great, can’t you get your tongue round it?
there is a live championship match on sunday on sky sports 2, does anyone know who it is?.
The end of a very frustrating season is in sight.
The fat lady is clearing her throat-Freddy is Dubbining his boots,SEB is eating another cake,Kites is flying one & Andy K. is stumbling in a WW wonderland!
MMMM is waiting for the Barnsley result,Big Jes is jangling his change & Mr. Morgan is considering his options;twist or stick.
The Norf & Sarff bonks are trembling at the thought of the Stevie Bullers outsingin em &
the Billy Quiets are just that….but who knows? come 4 o`clockish on the 4th. we could all be going bonkers with joy(nice girl) or giving MMMM(Mad Moron Muppet Mick) the bums rush & a few choice boos!
Funny old game….FOOTBALL!(a game of 2 halves,& a pint for Big Wayne), a beacon of excellence in a season of bathos!!!!
Whatever happens, most of us will be back for more next year.
Up the WOLVES!!!!!
Mick mcarthy will be judged after sundays game against plymouth even if wolves win and palace and watford, i reckon his future is in the hands of blackpool and burnley. i just cant see blackpool loose’ing at home i also think burnley will draw at palace. i just can’t see myself joining the dark side.
51,it’s stoke and hull i think both games are on opposite sides.
42.
hes given the manager all the backing he as asked for.
he said when he tookover he would leave that side to the manager.
is he supposed to go behind the managers back and sign expensive players. or force thje manager to sign players if he doesnt want to.
No i dont think so,
hes letting MM do hes job, and if it all goes wrong then MM will get the boot.
52. Hancocksleftboot
Great post mate, just about summed up the season perfectly, except that there is still a finale to come.
That fat lady is warmed up and I predict a lot of dissent after the next game.
Morgan has also made himself a target by his refusal to lead, as well as the long standing failure Moxey and his latest failed manager McCarthy!
M&M OUT!
51 pic, it aint yow,theres 2 on ipswich-hull stoke-leicester no need to show us we already up boing boing in style OH YES
52. Good post.
MM lost the plot at Barnsley, then he took 2 from 12 at Chrismas and 4 from 15 in Feb, hardly promption chasing stuff. Come Sunday we’ll either be dancing in the streets or it’ll be “shame on you” for even mentioning anything to do with football.
COME ON YOU WOLVES !!
FREDDY SCORES TWO LAST NIGHT-SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, OUR LOSS!! MUPPET OUT!!!
Well said southbank we will sing MAD MICK OUT FREDDY IN
Quality Counts :
May I just point out that Im not saying that Morgan is in this to make us a top half premiership team, just that I dont know if he is or isn’t. The guy’s been here 5 minutes, and Im not gonna shoot my mouth off like you with wilds accusations until Ive got some form of proof.
All I know is that the guy has been an immense success in anything he’s done. He’s spent money to make money in all his previous business fields. I like the fact that the Wolves attitude is to buy younger players these days - too many years we spent big on so called (as you would put it) “beef” and it never worked.
Point is mate, you - do - not - have - any - real - proof, just your opinion that his approach will not work.
59# Kyle & Elliot also scored what is your point????
42# quality counts
Can you explain the benefit of spending 30 million on championship quality players or ex pre star who only come here for the cash?
Can you not see the fact that the player over achieved last season and for that have been shot in the foot by you so called fans. They are a young squad with potential, they just need time. we are 7th and can still go up so lets all stay positive.
With the players we have now with another year of experience plus a few more players in certain positions the future looks bright the future looks gold and black.
i’ll be there and we’ve gotta sing even if we go down its a big help like he says
GET BEHIND THE LADSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
all the negativity on forums like these dont help.
all kights is askin 4 is 4 the fans not 2 get on their backs & be booin em from the off. u cant fault kights 4 the season when he aint been playin & when he does u sure notice a difference!!
i’ll be there sunday in th southbank cheerin on our lads n hopin we pull off a winner!!!!
This type of article comes out of Moxey’s office where he takes the fans latest favourites and puts out articles in their names.
It is just another Moxey spin tactic, and just shows how low he will sink, as the players dare not object to being used in this way!
We dont boo. Atleast me and my friends dont boo.
The fans have a CRUCIAL part to play in cheering the lads on til the fiinal whistle.
Then the fans have a CRUCIAL part to play in GETTING RID OF THIS DISPICABLE DISGRACE OF A MANAGER…
WE WANT MAD MICK OUT!
WE WANT MAD MICK OUT!
Maybe there is someone out there painting their “You’ve let us down again” banner as we speak???
