Wolves striker Andy Keogh claims the Molineux squad need to be “fitter and stronger” next season if they are to gain promotion from the Championship.
Boss Mick McCarthy has assembled one of the youngest squads in the division and Keogh said: “We know what we need to do for next season, we know what we’ve got to sort out and get better at.
“We’ll have a good rest and then make sure we come back fitter and stronger.
“We know what’s expected to get promotion and you do gain something by going through a failure in terms of not getting there.
“We know how tough and long a season it’s going to be but we’ll be ready for it.
“For us young lads we’re a season older and a season wiser and that can only help as we move forward.”
Keogh admits the players only have themselves to blame for their play-off failure – because they ‘slipped up too many times’.
The Irish forward has headed off for his summer break with a flea in his ear from fans angry at his ‘win promotion for the real fans’ comments.
But the 21-year-old accepts the players have to look at themselves.
“It was disappointing but we only have ourselves to blame because we slipped up too many times,” admitted Keogh.
“There was a time when it was in our own hands but we didn’t make the most of it.”
Wolves will watch Saturday’s £60m play-off final between Bristol City and Hull with envy after missing out on the top six by a single goal.
Despite the criticism he has faced, Keogh is convinced McCarthy is the man to take Wolves back to the Promised Land of the Premier League. “We don’t need change, we just need to develop the squad as a whole,” he said. “Continuity is crucial.”

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ doesn’t matter how fit you are Keogh,you still couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo.
Thank God for the last paragraph. I thought we were going to go through a day without a player “backing Mcarthy!”
Good one Andy lol
The PR department still working hard I see.
If you repeat the same lie often enough and long enough, eventually you will be believed.
It is called brainwashing.
Wood is a pleasant thing to think about.
we need 5 players.. real quality and not quantity, clear the dead wood.
I hope Keogh practices what he preaches. I think he’s a good player and worth keeping but far to easily knocked off the ball and he would certainly benefit from a summer of weight training.
Your players come out with the most stupid statements, and some of you love it,
Idiots do it on the pitch, then you dont need to talk. Of course he praises Mad MM no one else in the CCC would want him.
Surely its your job to be as fit and as strong as you possily can be anyway during EVERY season? Does that mean you and the team haven’t done your job properly?
Couldn’t agree more with The Wolf.
Couldn’t agree less with AK being labeled a striker.
7. Baggy1
Could someone please translate his post for me?
NOTE TO KEOGH - SPEND THE SUMMER LEARNING HOW TO TRAP A FOOTBALL . IT’S A BASIC REQUIREMENT EVEN IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP .
ok andy fair play to you..last season was a disaster, but that’s gone now. so let’s get it right and concentrate on promotion next season. you boys on the pitch do your jobs propperly, and us fans will back you 100%. we want you all to sucseed, we don’t like the constant negetivity.
MARCHING ON TOGETHER..WE’LL SEE YOU WIN.
THE SOUTHBANK..BARMY ARMY..BARMY ARMY!!!
Of course players like Keogh will say we don’t need change. He is one of Mad Mick’s favourites and would be on the bench or out of here if a new boss came in.
10) i think he was saying that wolves are chmpionship also rans. A team with sub standard players and fickle moaning fans. No interest in playing football just kick and hoof.
They are also partial to giving west brom fans the south bank so they do not have to pay for pies.
Baggy1 has that about summed it up
Well i am sure the 2 goals he scored for the Republic of Ireland on tour will do him the world of good! All the doubters will be proved wrong… he is the best foil for Ebanks-Blake and unless we draft someone else in then that will continue! I am sure Mick has more pressing worries like finding two young athletic centre backs and a goal scoring central midfielder for starters.
I am sick to death of the newspaper trying to stir up bad blood between the club and its supporters with half quoted stories.
How much are you on a week???????? and you are telling us your not fit! Keogh keep your mouth shut everything you say is giving the fans more ammo to throw back at you when you have failed to score in the first five matches.
i wish keogh wouldnt talk to the press,he makes the team look like a right bunch of muppets.
andy concentrate on your football not yours or the club’s PR you are one step away from seriously suffering foot in mouth disease.
if your fitness is lacking maybe you would do better in a match not chasing like a headless chicken.
no doubting your effort just be sensible
one of the youngest squads in the league and he says they need to be fitter. They should be 100% fit anyway.
I never know what this sort of comment, ” We must come back stronger and fitter” means!
It’s said as if it’s no-one’s fault that they weren’t strong or fit enough last season but surely it was down to poor management, poor fitness coaching, bad player attitude or a combination of all 3 !
I’d love to put Mick and whichever 2 players he chose to go with him into Alan Sugar’s boardroom.
” You had one of the best squads in the league, you finished 5th last time out, you’ve a strong fan base, you bought the League’s top scorer in January,you have the best goalie in the division and you still didn’t make the top 6!….I’m having trouble with this. You failed and yet you had everything going for you. Someone must be held responsible and, believe me, one of you will be fired!”
If it was Mick, Collins and Darren Ward hopefully they’d all blame each other and all get fired!
Comment 1 & 9:
Dont be ridiculous. He scored the other night for Ireland, Hit 11 for us (should have had more, agreed) and countless set SEB up for his goals! If thats not enough, perhaps we should sign Carlos Tevez! Be realistic, the bloke is 100% committed and in my opinion, a better footballer than Freddy (clearly all you Keogh-doubters are Freddy lovers)
Instead of jumping on this ‘let moan about every article’ bandwagon, read what he says, which actually make sense!
Keogh summed it up perfectly “fitter and Stronger”. He is the biggest lightweight in football today. He is the one who needs to get stronger, how about you practice what you preach!!
Someone please transfer keogh he might be a decent play but hes said too many silly things now! I wotn cheer for you next year! McCarthy brought too many rubbish players end of
makes you wonder why were they not fit enough last year?
lack of effort?
poor management?
staff?
who knows but not a very encouraging statement coming from a team that prides itself on hard work is it.
Mowtown Boy you are spot on, Keogh has more front than Blackpool with his “untimely statements”. Others are quite right, does his wording mean that the players have not been fit enough before?
QUALITY WE NEED, ONE THING ABOUT KEOGH - HE AINT QUALITY!!!!
We could chase an Irish player in Paddy McCourt, who plays in Ireland but can’t even get a game for Northern Ireland (1 cap six years ago)!!!!
Of course you will back mick, as for some reason no matter how poor your personal performance is you still get played. Looking busy is not enough for me i am affraid !!! Quality not Quantity
So yet another comment from a Wolves player! Are there any players left who have an opinion and want it printed in the E & S?
If only Wolves players would do what they are paid to do, play football and stop this ‘ I LOVE MICK’ charade! We all know that if any player was to say otherwise, he would be on his bike, so Keogh, give it a rest and get back to football practice, you certainly need it and by the way, the white things at the end of the pitch are called goals, this is where the ball should go when you play football, ok?
PS: not the Wolves goal you fool but the other end!
The prize for the best name on these forums goes to 13 - Putza Shiftin. QUALITY!!!!ha ha
message for andy keogh….
one on one striker vs keeper
ebanks blake … 9 out of 10 i think he would score
the leaving freddy eastwood…8 out of 10
you keogh….4 out of 10 after watching you as a REAL FAN/SEASON TICKET HOLDER
yes you are young and still developing and i like the effort you put into a game but at present you shooting at times is a bit woeful to say the least,instead of going on hol try having 100 shots at an open goal and when you score more than 50 buy yourself a toffee apple as a reward and put it in your big mouth to gain respect from the UNREAL FANS you slated!!!
and why are the players not fit enough??? so are you saying tony daley is doing a poor job???
10) What do you expect when their manager struggles to speak the queen’s english and looks like a cabbage patch doll.
Anyway back to the serious stuff. Keogh is a decent player who puts in a shift, sets up goals but needs to up the ante 50% in front of goal. We will definitely need to sign another forward as we are releasing 3. The other one Stephen Ward is not as bad as people think. He should never have been put on the left wing but I was there when he scored a cracker at Ipswich. He is only a youngster.
The worst player is undoubtably Neill Collins!
14. Baggy
Oh well, we all thought there was going to be some pearls of wit and repartee in there not the usual baggy clap-trap!
God you lot depress me!!!! I’m giving up on reading these message boards they are just full of negative bilge! Try getting behind your club, you might be very surprised what they can achieve if we show a united front! Moan moan moan fickle fickle fickle!!!
ho ho ho! Ability to put the ball in the back of the net is far more important than fitness!!!!
11. Note to Motown, CAPS lock is on the left of the keyboard - Its a basic typing skill
Those who think he’s been no good, watch this…
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg4hUCyD-iQ
Why dont we just all agree albion are better than us
Who’s idea is it that these muppets - sorry I should use the technical term footballers - keep making these comments to the press????
if they had done as much SCORING as yappin to the press we would be in the Champions League Final !
Talk about shooting themselves in the foot ! aha thats why he can’t trap a ball ! shot his foot off….as well as his mouth…..
Stop moaning, the stripey lot are laughing their socks of at you!
Supporters of most other clubs would praise AK for his workrate and the fact that his goalscoring tally went into double-figures. However, the usual moaners and groaners (typical Wolves fans, in other words) can only find fault and see the negatives. How depressing to have to listen to you lot whining like little ten-year-olds about it… think I might just hoof it back to Molineux Mix where the majority of people at least know what they’re talking about!
Eddie Wolf thats spot on!
Eddie Wolf, it will be interesting if the truth gets in the way of negative comment!
34. Wolf72…. well said mate. All we do is either moan at our players or moan at ourselves !! It’s no wonder we got the title of biggest whingers !!! The season is over, we didn’t get in to the play offs… so get over it !! Let’s look (with hope) to a new season…..mind you, let’s not because we’ll be at each others throats again and any chance of decent discussion will disappear under a hail of bile. Like you 34… I think I’m outta here
Correct 40, we really are laughing at you!
Andy Keogh admittedly isn’t the best finisher in the world but you could do a damn sight worse. John Hartson anyone?
Stop yer whinging, get behind your team for a change (not just when you play the Albion) and you might do ok next season. I won’t hold my breath.
we’re both fit we do walking on the spot for 3 mins twice a week, and brigett can stand on one leg for 12 seconds.
Number 9 my backside
Also What happen next? when you gave the ball away in the last min against Ispwich?
NOT FIT TO WEAR THE No.9
14 at last someone with a brain on this site
In Mad MM we trust, just think wolves fans, you could be in Div 1 soon.
I thought we were going to go through a whole day without any tripe from a player saying how young the squad is, how much better they will be next year, how great MM is, nothing needs to change. There’s more propaganda from Wolves than there is from the Chinese government. Can’t wait to hear from Collins or S Ward about how they would still love the club even if their surrogate father wasn’t the manager
4.
I washed my brain this morning and now I can’t do a thing with it!
I can see that the booboys haven’t taken summer vacation yet. And you team up nicely with the baggies comments. It’s simply a shame!
Keogh is not only MM:s favorite. I bet he will be Signore Trappatonis to after scoring two in two training matches. Good luck, Keogh! I’m looking forward to see your play next season.
EDDIE WOLF,That video is nearly 4minutes long, the video of him missing chance after chance is still being compiled and is currently 4 hours long!!!!!!!!!!!
34,47,40,41 etc, well said. I would love to know at what level some of these other guys have played at. They are the same guys who spend the whole 90 minutes watching he ball. I agree McCarthy creates his own problems and exposes himself to some well justified criticism, but as far as tearing a player like Keogh apart……..I dont slag off my dentist for not giving me simon cowells smile, because I know **** all about being a dentist and realize that unless I spend money well out of my budget, I am not going to get Doctor Carlos Tevez fitting my ceramics!
50) Not a chance mate. Worry about your own team, which is already in need of a mass repair. Everyone is looking at Gera and yet to sort out Phillips - a bit part player next season.
A few signings and some of our quality youngsters back - do you know what an academy is? - and we will be up there. The sides who have come down are in disarray!
fitter, stronger…and more skillfull, ruthless, creative, entertaining
21 Eddie Wolf says…
“Instead of jumping on this ‘let moan about every article’ bandwagon, read what he says, which actually make sense!”
Which is more than can be said for most of your posts!
There, that should light the blue touch paper!
I can’t wait for the Freddy - ‘I back Mick to take us up’ article!
TelWolf….did you use the right soap ?
Wood is a pleasant thing to think about.
8 LEAGUE GOALS IN 43 APPS
Not good enough
maybe as squad player, maybe play behind two front strikers
but andy keogh is work rate and thats it
he is AVERAGE CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL
FACT!!!
45 Wednesbury_Albion; go on, hold your breath.
This is a negative message about the positive messages about Andy Keogh!
Yes he works hard!, yes he creates goals!, yes he is young, yes he is an ok footballer.
I ask you all is he good enough to get us promoted! I suggest not!
Is he good enough for the prem? I suggest not!
Is he going to score 20 goals per season? i suggest not!
Is he good enough to wear the number 9? I suggest not.
Is he an average footballer in a poor division playing for a poor side? I suggest he is!
I cant help being negative guys but How can we win promotion with this guy in the side, I think we should have more ambition and attract a better player who scores goals. If he is that good why is he one of our youngsters who is never mentioned with a bigger club? Andy Keogh will not play for a bigger club in his career as wolves.
We need to get a goalscorer upfront with SEB and for me that comes from outside the club.
just some suggestions here guys, phillips, harewood, forsell, jerome, morrison palace, vaughan, everton!
All i am trying to say is we should set our standards higher.
Hope this makes sence!!!!!!!
44. Filton (Bristol). Plenty of good bloggers are leaving this site due to the loud minority of negative moaners. My only hope is that they do not bring their dirty opinions to the Molineux next season. There is plenty to look forward to next season although you wouldn’t have thought it reading these boards. I’m off to support my team. Good Bye!
I think the `negative Charlies` above have either not read the above article fully or have chosen to misinterpret what Keogh says to meet their own sad views on the ups and downs of footballing life. With more backing from the understandably frustrated but misguided section of our crowd, Keogh could become a great Wolves legend. Arthur Rowley, a great goalscorer of latter years reckoned that good goalscorers converted one in seven chances into actual goals. Does anybody have any modern day statistics as to what the current successful strike rate for top scorers in this division is? Also, what is the reaction to unfavoured players missing a chance compared to, say, Kightly or SEB? Also, why are some players used as scapegoats whilst others are allowed the occasional stinker? Lastly, how come so many of you think that such and such a player is crap when I think they are quite good and even excellent bar an off day or two? I can remember the wonderful Peter Broadbent, my hero, having some real stinkers on occasion. The judging of players is so subjective in the end who can say who is right or wrong? Out of darkness!
65 you need to get out a little bit more
64 plenty to look forward to
with Mad MM in charge, all you have to look forward to is Kevin Kyle and S Howard
You easy to please people.
46,BRIG, THATS MORE THAN WOT CRADDOCK CAN DO,BOING BOING
Keogh is easily good enouh for championship football, hes the reason ebanks blake and billy sharp were prolific strikers.
Molly 20
Great post and very true.
Quote from Teamtalk: Trapattoni has been particularly pleased with the form of Wolves striker Andy Keogh, who scored in both games in Portugal.
Asked about the 22-year-old, he said: “He has time to think. He is not an easy opponent. When the ball comes, he understands immediately what to do.
“That’s important, very important.”
So one of the world’s most successful managers sees the potential and natural understanding of a progressing youngster, upon which the rest can be developed. However, sadly, some docile illiterate unemployed car factory worker from Wolverhampton begs to differ. I wonder who’s opinion I’d prefer to listen to?
Debenham Wolf - Great comments, by an obviously level headed football-intelligent person. Sadly too few and far between footballs remedial class at the Molineux every other Saturday.
Andy I was expecting you to be away on holiday, as you hadn’t made your usual comments in the local media. You could become the Wolves blogger or take over as head of sports features or you could concentrate on learning how to pass,run on to a ball, score goals and not run around doing lots of nothing.
In the championship we stay- the McCarthy way
im sorry but im getting realy chessed of with all the players sayin exactly the same as each other.
and bloody hell keogh the squad needs to get fitter what exactly are we supposed to get from that sort of statement. keogh and a few more players need to shut up and stand and be counted i wouldnt mind keogh sayin sumet if he had scored 20+ goals this season and set up loads but the lad doesnt, he runsaround in his banna boots like a headless chicken and when he needs to score he misses.
keogh is a class act-trust me!
All he needs to do is bulk up a bit, surely we have the resources at Wolves to give him a proper diet and a good work out in a gym during the summer. Keogh and SEB can be a winning combo a la Bull and Mutch, or dare I say Doogan and Richards… or am I dreaming?
i rate keogh, and some of you quite clearly dont know what you are on about so ill let the famous Trappatoni say it then, in his quote just released:
“I already know the famous players. I already know Damien Duff, I already know Kevin Doyle.
“But it has been a beautiful surprise, the young players like Alex Bruce - he has come and played with confidence - and also yesterday, KEVIN FOLEY, he was not bad. He can improve.
Trapattoni has been particularly pleased with the form of Wolves striker ANDY KEOGH, who scored in both games in Portugal.
Asked about the 22-year-old, he said: “He has time to think. He is not an easy opponent. When the ball comes, he understands immediately what to do.
“That’s important, very important.”
i aint posted on here for a bit due to ermmm wallys, yes ill call them wallys who see keogh because he wears No.9 he should be banging in 20-30 goals a season, james beattie wears No.5 should he be a good centre half.
keogh does his work for the TEAM, yes Team not an individual but a team player, i got slated for saying these young players should consider leaving if the fans dont get off there back, and in the space of what 2months Roy Keane and Trappatoni have bigged Keogh up.
mark my words we back them, or they will leave and give you all summat to moan about!
You are a fit lad Mr Keogh and you mean well,but unfortunately that’s where it ends.
Instead of talking about fitness & shifts all the time let’s talk about TALENT!
Let’s look forward to an All round better football team next season & a few less headless chickens.
Or am I dreaming?
Did you have to cut and paste that article 72.
Gentlemen, I have played and managed at a very good standard, I am not saying keogh is a bad footballer! What I am saying is to win promotion we will require 2 or 3 prolific goalscorers! Look at the baggies and their 3 strikers, phillips who is clever and works the box and good on the floor. Bednar technically very good and strong in the air, and Miller quick and strong. All of these players have different attributes however they all score goals.
What happens if SEB gets injured what else do we have? Its a debate that will rumble on all summer!
I hope im wrong as im sure he will start the season!
Hey we are all entitled to our opinion!
65, 71 AND 76 Good, constructive answers to this negativity. Keogh needs to get a bit more confidence in front of goal but is a quality player. Look who missed the first sitter against Plymouth - when goals were needed - Kites. They were not all on his back.
We have plenty of quality, young players - back them, not boo them. If you do the latter I hope you are nowhere near me in the ground or I will give you a response.
I do not think for one minute Andy has said all that infact He’s probably lying on a beach somewhere and could not give T— what is in the E&S. We have some good young players no one doudts that- What we need is some Experience brought in that will play along side and get us up–I have my doubts that MM has the Credibility to do that-We are in worse state now than when Hoddle left us-But we have paid our money up front we must hope that we get some experience into the squad–I read in the E&S a bloke who lives in Cornwall slating the fans who are moaning– Well we pay our money up front we can expect things to happen for the better–Quotting yesteryears will get us no-where lets be positive and hope Mr. Morgan will see the light and get somebody of quality into the squad–Defenders not attacking players -Creative Midfielder-Surley we do not have to worry about a GK–Can not wait for the season to start–Have kicked the cat again–Only Joking.
Boggie 1 One thing for sure you lot will be back in the championship next year the mowbray way.
We need experience in our side, something that is severly lacking in midfield. We got up in 2003 with the likes of Ince and Irwin, steady hands amongst the youngesters of lescott, miller, murray, naylor to name but a few. In this side we need a know it all player who can grasp the young players and know they are to battle to the end and not be a powder puff light weight outfit. We are out fought in alot of games last season. If we dont get experienced heads then next season will be desperate
MICK OUT!
Sorry And see your not on the beach–Well done-All the best mate now have a good rest–
well done eddy wolf 21
he could have had more but he is a young man getting better and better. maybe his work rate is too high - he must use his increasing experience to decide when and when not to run.
Meanwhile stuwolf (77) a lot of strikers in the league did not get 11 goals and players do get better with experience and - please take note - with encouragement from fans. Keogh is good enough for the championship and he will play a big part in getting us out.
71 mancwilf,if hes one of the most successful managers in the world why aint he managing one of the worlds best teams,if i was you id listen to the car worker boing boing going up in triumph
71 Spot on! Anyone can see the potential this guy has, he’s not admired around the league for nothing.
At this juncture I am reminded of the expression left hand not knowing what the right is doing. On the one hand we have the manager telling us its the best team in the division and a player telling us they have let themselves down and are not fit enough. Am I missing something here? Now folks, time to make some easy money. I missed out last season but not this time. Go down to the bookies and put a pony on the following.
Tenth in the table by Chrismas
Still in the Championship by September 2009
69 No! That can’t be the genuine Jiwal? I am finding myself in agreement! To be fair, although I see you as slightly negative and was sure at one time you were an Albion fan lost in the ether, I know you are one of our fans who feel the hurt of the last twenty-five years hard to bear. Cheer up as good times are just around the corner. Promise!
Wolvo, 66,
Get out quite a lot actually. Just back from two weeks in Cordoba, Seville and Granada. Get out at weekends as well, playing and managing football despite my great age. I expect you felt you had to say something but were at a loss to be polite or constructive and I appologise for having touched a nerve. Apologies for any offence felt, not intended. Out of what must be deep, deep darkness. Wont be here for any reply as I going out yet again.
baggie 1
Well you have to sell your tickets for £1 to fill your ground even when you were top
Enough said there really…
and still does i see
76 Shatpankwolves, The vast majority of decent Wolves fans totally agree with your viewpoint. Unfotunately, the totally negative comments on sites like this are made by many frustrated fans who have no concept as to how to motivate and treat fellow human beings. You will find that many of them are obsessed with how much money players are earning and how much they, themselves are spending on attending matches and they have reason to feel upset. But hitting out at others when you feel frustrated solves nothing. We all feel the hurt but `tomorrow’s another day and life is too short to go around hurting others because you feel bad. Going out now, Wolvo or whoever you are.Out of darkness for some of us..
Was that his ‘apology’ then, or is that somewhere else and I’ve missed it..?
That’s it Andy, if we all put a shift in then we’ll go up; never mind skill, excitement and being able to have a midfield and talent up front!
YAWN.
THEY SHOULD BE FIT AND STRONG ANY SEASON,WHY WASNT THEY FIT N STRONG ENOUGH LAST SEASON THEN,HERE WE GO TRYIN TO HYPE NEXT SEASON UP AGAIN ONLY TO MISS OUT AGAIN,AND WHAT HAS KEOGH EVER ACHIEVED TO BE THE CLUBS MOUTHPEICE.
Andy Keogh is not a pure striker and should not be played at No.9. He is a very hard worker and as an attacking midfielder he has bags of talent and is a future star.
Some of you negative guys want to have your cake and eat it. If you’re going to hammer McCarthy for playing players out of position, how can you blame the players as well?! It doesn’t make sense.
Last season McCarthy used Keogh well and he looked great; this season he’s used him badly. Blame Mick, not Andy!
Trappatoni is a fine judge of players.
Andy Keough should be told to shut up how much more crap is going to give us
We lost out on playoffs on goal difference any one of the thirty this lightweight missed last season would have done.
MM thinks that players running around like headless chickens is good and so now does Keough off the the madhouse with the pair of you.
All they have to do is watch a STEVE BULL video EFFORT/GOALS/PASSION
take your orange boots up the yellow brick road with mm and leave us to lick the wounds you inflicted.
Keogh and the Wolves players knew last season what they had to do to get promoted, so how come someone only told them about it this week !
Fitness does help, but if you are low on skill and flair what’s the point of being fit ?
Now we know what Wolves players noses and the Prime minister all have in comon ? They are BROWN !
80,and you still read it i see,gone up the MOWBURY WAU
79, when the £1 tickeys went on sale we wornt top,
get your facts right you silly little dingle boing boing gone up the MOWBURY WAY
76 - i dont care if he wears number 9, 5, 26 or 99
end day he is a “STRIKER” what are strikers meant to do? score
the midfield are meant to be the providers not keogh!!!!
71 - staunton, kerr and mccarthy managed ireland as well! maybe they are world class? if he is such a great manager what is he doing with ireland? when there was an england job going at the same time
63 - agreed everything you said! i personally love see keogh score 20 and prove me wrong about goal scorer but as we know he isnt a natural born scorer! and we need someone like harewood to get us promoted
yawn…
Does anyone else wish they’d spend less time spouting horse to the media and more time on the training ground…
103,ad,our players did,thats why we are in the prem,we dont talk about it we do it,BOING BOING GONE UP THE MOWBURY WAY
Time to practice what you preach Keogh.
YOU are one player who needs to be STRONGER next season, and not fall over at the slightest of touches.
Put on a couple of stone of muscle and you will become a more acomplished player………..oh and practice shooting in the nets too!
Debenham Wolf–You are being influenced by the “Dark Side” suggest a good pint of “Bank’s” to calm you down beats all that sangria you have no doubt been drinking in Spain has made you shakey-Amigo
We all want the best for Wolves but you have to suffer some of the decisions our Manager has made over the last season-Some very unexplainable and often qualified in interview by “They put in a good shift” or we are all “Devistated in the changing room” _ these are not remarks you want to hear from the Red Leader they get rather boring and do not give us the fans satisfaction–I do not critise players the manager must take the flack-What these BLOGS are saying is that some of the players are just not good enough recognises the ability of a few and slates the Manager for the “Way he manages the team and tactics”–I think everyone who pays up front is entitled to some positive expectation but at this moment in time we are not getting that–Just a load of drivel from alleged quotes from players which frankly they did not make well if they did it is in some cases a insult to us has FANS– They take our money we are entitled to give them flack if they do not perform in my case I give flack to MM and Moxey.(if they deserve it)–I think-Here endeth the 4th. Lesson
Adios Amigo’s–Asta la vista–Vivo condias..I love this City– La Sieta Magnifico.(The Maginificent Seven - A great film people fighting for their SHIRTS.
103, training finished now for a month. Keogh is the type of player that should be played just behind a front 2 because he has good passing ability and a great workrate, granted his shooting needs to be worked on but you can see that he is a rough diamond that just needs polishing.
Isn’t it just typical….. we get a decent blog going on the Today’s Transfer Rumours posting and the E&S then lose the Post A comment Box on the page so no-one else can join in !! Oh Well….
Cor what a bunch of whiners. Get over yourselves and back the team!!
102) we8wba what are you talking about? No refernce was made to Irish Managers being World Class? If you are able to read the comment correctly (71), you will see that I referred to Trapattoni as one of the world’s most successful managers as clearly evident from his list of honours -
(AC Milan Coppa Italia: Runner-up: 1974–75; Juventus Serie A: 1977, 1978, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1986, Runners-up: 1980, 1983, 1992, 1994, Coppa Italia: 1979, 1983, Runners-up: 1992, European Cup: 1985, Runners-up: 1983, Cup Winners’ Cup: 1984, UEFA Cup : 1977, 1993, European Super Cup: 1984, Intercontinental Cup: 1985; Internazionale Serie A : 1988–89, UEFA Cup: 1990–91; FC Bayern Munich Bundesliga: 1996–97 Runners-up: 1997–98 German Cup: 1997–98; AC Fiorentina Coppa Italia Runners-up: 1998–99; SL Benfica SuperLiga: 2004–05 Taça de Portugal Runners-up: 2004–05; FC Red Bull Salzburg T-Mobile Bundesliga: 2006–07)
Not a bad record is it? As stated before, surely one of the world’s most successful managers should know a quality player when he sees one, as opposed to a less informed yokel.
In reference to your “if he is such a great manager what is he doing with ireland? when there was an england job going at the same time” quote. Are you suggesting that Steve McLaren, Kevin Keegan, Glen Hoddle & Grahan Taylor are great managers? If they are, the latter two didn’t show it at the Wolves, dod they? I’m sure Old Trap clearly acknowledges that he is in their shadow.
Nothing better than seeing someone make a fool of themselves publicly on this noticeboard. Keep up the good work!
Thought they had all gone on their hols?
Scoring more goals than the opposition tends to get you out of a league not being fitter and stronger !!!!

Mediocre Championship team

WELL SAID ANDY, DONT LET THE BOO BOYS AFFECT YOU, MOST OF WHOM HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT FOOTBALL, YOU ARE A CLASS PLAYER AND FANS ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU, MICK AND THE BOYS, IF WE FINISH MID TABLE WE’LL BE HAPPY IF WE SEE GOOD FOOTBALL AGAIN, IF WE GO UP WE WILL ONLY GET THRASHED SO WOULD RATHER WE ACCEPT WE ARE A GOOD CHAMPIONSHIP CLUB (AT LEAST WE GET TO SEE 46 GAMES RATHER THAN 38 LIKE WEST BROM, BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY)

Am not an MM fan with regard to tactics etc but respect him as a man. If you look at my earlier posts you might see how I disagreed with his tactics and team selection without stooping to the level of pure vitriol. With a couple of good central defenders and a combative water carrier in midfield I do believe we would have an excellent chance in what will be a more difficult division next season. I do not believe in deriding my players in public and feel that you should not post comments on here that you would not make in a calm face to face to your target. But that’s just my opinion and I’m an old softy. I prefer Adnams to Banks’ but Banks would hit the spot. Adios, amigo.
Thank you Debenham Wolf–I would agree I have never openly slated a player–I do like MM but can I say his credibility as put me in doubt that he can produce–Only future signings and desire will tell-No insult intended–I do like a good pint no matter what it is–If its kept right it tastes good–BWM
