Robbie Dennison believes Wolves fans are in for a treat with wing wonders Michael Kightly and Matt Jarvis out to terrorise the Championship this season.
Former wideman Dennison was back at Molineux yesterday to launch the ‘Out of the Darkness – Sherpa Van Lads Dinner.’
Now 45, the ex-Northern Ireland international covers Wolves every week in his role as a summariser for a local radio station.
He believes the sight of Kightly and Jarvis in tandem will bring back the thrill factor to Molineux.
Injury robbed them of playing in the same team in all but the final few games of last season.
He said: “We didn’t really see much of Kightly and Jarvis last season because of their injuries.
“It was only right at the end of the season that they starting playing together.
“It will be something to look forward to because ‘Jarvo’ was fantastic at different times and ‘Kites’ has been brilliant since day one.
“They break teams down with their pace and ability and they create chances.”
Wolves fans have always taken to the wide men. Now Kightly and Jarvis are hoping to follow them.
Dennison added; “Wingers have always gone down well at Wolves and hopefully we’ll see plenty of these two in action.
“Teams come here and set up to stop you playing and it’s up to us to have the players to break that down.
“Both these lads have the pace and ability to hurt teams. Just give them the ball and they will cause problems.”

your in for a treat,anothere free pie n pint aye boing boing
yow club have got more spin than the labour party aye boing boing
Wise words Robbie. In his playing days Wolves were never as good without him. Very under-estimated. Cheers fella.
I’m looking forward to seeing Stephen Ward and Darren Potter cause havock down the wings next season!!!
There’s no better sight in football than seeing players taking the opposition on, and thats exactly what Kites and Jarvis do.
My only worry is that neither Keogh or SEB are particularly good in the air. Hopefully Vokes will be!
I’m looking forward to seeing Kightly and Jarvis at their best together too. Kights was definitely not fully match fit for those last few games of the season.
Not such good news about Stephen Ward having another go on the wing. He’s never looked good there and I wanted to see him have an extended go in the centre. But let’s hope it means there’s good news about another striker coming in!
wing two,thats a chinese tekaway by us,aye boing boing pwawn cwackers
I can’t wait for them to get started. On the downside I believe their progress will be monitored by clubs in the prem and if they get off to a flyer we will struggle to keep hold of them in the January transfer window.
Oh Robbie Robbie… Robbie Robbie Robbie Dennison! Legend!
I love proper wingers and in Kites & Jarvo we have got two belters - we are gonna scare the living daylights out of the opposition this season!!!
BRING IT ON - UP THE WOLVES!!!!
used to love the sight of Robbie running at defenders. Used to make it look so easy. well some of the time!
Amen to that brother
I’m looking forward to seeing Ward down the wing as Jarvis sits on the bench and Thick Mick shows us all he couldn’t care less what we think.
Couldn’t agree more, I think this is gonna be a massive season for both Jarvis and Kightly, and fingers crossed if we can keep both of them fit, it could be the difference between promotion and staying down.
The main problem last year was that we were not creating enough chances, and both of these two were a big miss when not playing, so i’m confident that this season will show a marked improvement
we still need some real cover for kightly and jarvis. the fact that they both spent a lot of last season out should be reason enough to be cautious, and obviuously there are bans, substitutions etc to think about.
Gray and especially Ward just don’t cut it on the wing, though they do try their best. If we had had a natural wing player for cover we would have made the play-offs … fact. Lets not make the same mistake again.
So many new stories today but this is the only one with a comment box.
I won’t say anything though because the moderator will probably censor me off again.
If kites and jarvis are half as good as putting a cross like dennison used to, then we have got a chance.
To terryPREMIERbaggie. Both of your comments have a food connection - I reckon you’re the baggie with 5XL Tesco carrier bag shirt!
terryPREMIERbaggie first two posts well done, took you 4 mins to think of your second joke, well done your amazing,
NIPPY..Not such good news about Stephen Ward having another go on the wing. He’s never looked good there and I wanted to see him have an extended go in the centre.
WE WANT TO SEE HIM HAVE AN EXTENDED PERIOD ON LOAN OR IN THE RESERVES..HAHAHA
15 mins for his third, come on terryPREMIERbaggie whats going on
Agree with Robbie, but so dimayed to read the article re S Ward. Grafter maybe, winger NO,best signing NO, Good enough for Wolves NO - just sell him ot loan him out MM.
terry your team may be in the prem but you are definately gutter level get a job and stop being a drain on the welfare . ps they might do discounts for dole wollers down the poorthorns
no 15 we do have cover on the left with dan jones if mm will give him a chance the right side will need strenghening tho
Id swap either of them to have Robbie back…Go on the magic man !!!!!!!
terry bragyboy ther is a r in boring
1) Nothing on your pages then Terry….?
Who are you after now and when is the Russian coming to play?
Jarvis and Kites are certainly better than your £3 million winger Brunt!
Ward in his first season was decent up front… so stick to that position. As for cover on the wings, Gobern is a quality winger and Dave Jones - although not a winger - can play out on the left. So if MM uses his brains, we do not have to resort to playing Ward, Elliot, Potter, Keogh, for example, out of position!
i dunno, i like s ward he’s played alright down the left, not as gd as jarvis but i like him, give him a chance, i recks he’ll be gd. just wait and see, though we do need a right winger for sub. P.S. hurry up getting berra and get a striker then we’ll av a mint team, though i’d get cover for right back. actually i reckon we might see gray feature on da wings again this season, we’ll see what tricks McCarthy’s got up his sleeve. a new striker and we’ll be fine. UP DA WOLVESSSSSSS!!!!!!! CUM ON!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!! de de dede Micheal kightly
message for ‘terryGOINGDOWNbaggie’…. enjoy your 5 months in the premier league, cos that’s how long you’re gonna last aye boing boing.
Sherpa van dinner, bloody hell, i like me food but there is no way i could eat a whole one!!
Was John Hartson there, or was he at the save the whale dinner!!
I hope they had somewhere safe to leave their handbags!!!
if kightly has a fantastic start then i think the january transfer window is looming for him, the top teams plunder the ones below just so they can warm the bench
(28) Brummie. I think you need help, mate.
” MM & brains ” in the same sentence !
For a moment I thought my old ticker wouldn’t survive the shock.
11,local, you was one of the 1800 then,aye boing boing
19,jockwilf, yes i know im abit slow today mate aye boing boing
Jarvis is a quality player and Kites just top class, I think defences wont know whats happened to them as I reckon they will switch wings regulary, which is a nightmare for any team…..
With regards to Strikers Why not David Nugent …. hasnt done it for Pompey but amazing for preston .. so why not ??? and pompey just signed crouch!!! so why not ?
We stilll need a decent striker WHO SCORES GOALS…Pity Chopra was not on the menu as he has previous in the championship and we let Phillips go to Bham who also has previous 43 goals in 81 starts..
There is not much left to go for. We also need a skillful midfielder who scores goals as this has always been the problem a LACK OF GOALS
Pye green wolf (24). Daniel Jones says he wants to concentrate on trying to get the left-back spot this season. Anyway, after Foley and Elokobi, the only cover we’ve got at wide-back is Mark Little and Mark Salmon. So sounds good if Dan has a serious go there.
Little and Salmon are both exciting prospects, so if Dan is a success it opens up the possibility of Elokobi or Little moving into the central defence to bolster that very stretched department. Right now, if Lee Collins goes out on loan again (already spoken of), we’ve only got Craddock, Spearman and Neill Collins. Even with Berra (or equivalent), two or three injuries and our season could start sinking! So, for central defence, it could easily become a case of all hands on deck!
Therefore, I’m prepared to welcome Dan’s conversion to wide-back.
why do west brom fans come onto our pages and try and poke fun….never mind sandwell….i think that us wolves fans will be smiling next season when u lot are getting gubbed week in week out….CLOWNS
wolveswolves are you and southbank barmy army and terryPREMIERbaggy all the same person because none of you support wolves reading your remarks about some of their players and manager. Why dont you send in your views on your own site for wba and leave this site for people who support wolves
Terry - stick to your Boggies pages.
Eh about Morbid Mowbray talking about the grass n the ball!!!!
& we think we have a clown driving the ship!!!!
Robbie Dennison always a hero. Scorer of one of the greatest goals at Wembley against Everton in the anniversary game.
That team just loved being Wolves players.
Best Wishes
David
i bet the three players in for no more then a few million thats all we will see get 4 million plus 4 the ones going out seen as a good day by mr spin moxley and sir jack mark 2 morgan
Thats the spirit lads. Finally, unity over our wingers.
COME ON WOLVES>
