No cutting edge at all. Ebanks Blake, I am afraid, has gone from hero to zero. He was rubbish. Not all his fault but for how long does MM persist with him? Maierhofer and Doyle should be given a go.

Surley that has to be the end now for mcarthy, watched it on the internet and what a totally uninspired performance. We will see this week if Morgan has any sort of ambition for the club, because under Mick it will only get worse. The January transfer window is going to be a complete waste of time considering the posistion we’re in now, we won’t attract any sort of quality…so do the decent thing now please Mr Morgan.

Lets face it this squad of playeres are just not good enough for the Premier League……..at the moment. A number of them will not peak for a number of seasons, but the problem is as Wolves fans can we wait for a couple of years and yo-yo between the Premier & the Championship or do we kick them into touch, “Gamble” on a new squad and while we’re at it a new manager?

After today’s result I think we are in a worse position than Portsmouth, at least they’ve got good performances and a new Manager to look forward to!

In such an important game thats the worst performance I have witnessed at Molineux. No time for sentiment, sack McCarthy and bring in Curbishly, who has good experience in keeping teams up (Charlton & West Ham). If we wait any longer we will go too many points adrift, then no one will want the job.

TAXI FOR MCCARTHY!

Sack him now and get someone in before christmas, to lift the players who I am afraid are devoid of ideas, clueless, no passion and it stems from the manager who goes to press and says we are in a relegation battle, how about saying we are in a survival fight. Awful game, fair play to blues, easily the better team. We havent got the players and they are all Micks signings, MORGAN & MOXEY a couple of mute muppets, speak up you must know that this manager is completely out of his depth at this level. No wonder Mimms & Evans jumped ship!

I am selfish and I don’t want to see Wolves drop out of the Premiership.

Yes, it would be nice to let McCarthy struggle and try to turn it around, but that would mean us missing the opportunity, as a Premiership club, of hiring an experienced manager who will have a transfer window available to improve the squad. I am thinking Curbishley or someone of his ilk.

Mr Morgan, if you let the club drop down then your investment will have halved in value.

The main cause of Wolves woes for the last decade has been Moxey, and it is reasonable to replace him with somebody more able to compete in the Premiership arena.

Numbers 2 and 5

I’m sorry to say it I really am but I totally agree with you.

SEB is just not effective in this league, you cannot foul defenders in the box and expect to get away with it, replace him with Keogh or the Hoff ASAP as they will both be a pacey partner for Doyle at least!

We should spend NOTHING in January as it will be a waste of money, if there was a game to show our spirit and passion then this was it and we didn’t. When we are relegated (not if) we will need some money for new players when other teams cherry pick the best players from our squad.

As much as I realise this is a totally negative view it’s also the only real outcome I can see.

This MUST WIN game wasn’t and that says it all really doesn’t it.

Berate my negativity all you want but deep down any true Wolves fan knows I’m probably going to be proved right.

(I can’t) Keep the faith (any more)

Not after that!!!!

All I can hope is that somehow this team proves me wrong (but I doubt they will).

Out fought, out thought, out worked and out classed.

so far i have happy clapped my way throughout an entertaining but sadly disappointing premier league season.

the lack of passion, bottle, skill and to be quite frank, ideas has left me bitterly upset and fearing for our chances of still being in the mix come christmas.

nobody is going to want to sign for a team so far from survival but something must be done because that was a very average championship side that we fielded today and any fool could have told you prior to kick off that it just would not be good enough.

the romance is over, the investment once again has not been there, with portsmouths rumoured millions in January we surely must be favourites to finish rock bottom in quite dramatic fashion!!!!

From owner down to players we have been let down this season. Cometh the hour cometh the man, now lets see who’s got the bottle for a fight!!!

We were dreadful today but sacking MM isnt the answer.
I agree with richwolf that milijas needs to start. We are so short of creativity. Id switch to 4-5-1 and give him the freedom to roam ahead of henry and castillo. I cannot understand why so many people get on Henrys back. For me he has been the only one of our players who has stepped up to the premier league.
As suprised as i am to say it, i would bring keogh back in. We have looked at our best this season with him playing with doyle and SEB is really off the pace.
My team for Bolton would be:

hennessey
zubar ward
berra mancienne

henry castillo
milijas
keogh jarvis

doyle

As a Wolves season ticket holder for more than 20 years, rarely have I left the stadium more infuriated, baffled and dismayed from such a shambolic apology for a performance.

Make no mistake, we are doomed to relegation.

McCarthy must go. Chairman Steve Morgan should invite him into his office, thank him from the bottom of his heart for getting us out of the dog-eat-dog Championship, and get on the phone to Alan Curbishley or Steve Coppell.

Or even invite Graham Taylor to put right the biggest regret in his club managerial career.

Report abuse

Well the situation already looks hopeless! We cannot score goals and we also seem to be able to concede them at will – after only 3 minutes this time.
Mick McCarthy has some serious thinking to do and so do his players for the squad is woefully short of both class and experience.
A gap has developed between us and the 4th bottom and it is going to get ever greater if we continue like this.
I am totally astonished that throughout the game we managed only 2 shots on target!
If this is the best we can do then we should fly the white flag in surrender because we will go down and very quickly!
Morgan must decide if he will provide some hefty cash for McCarthy to bring in experienced players, IF they will come that is, and try to get us out of this mess and that may well mean breaking our transfer record to do so!
I will not accept that we have time to put things right because although it only November, we all know that time is running down and the reality is that we are a poor team, are not good enaough for the PL and in the process we are making ourselves a team of pushovers!
Supporters from other clubs can wish us well but that will not disguise the fact that we are rubbish. We are basically a Championship club in a league where we do not belong.
The next few games may well decide if Mick should resign or not because otherwise he will certainly be adding to his CV yet another ‘relegated from the PL in 2009/10′ comment!

watched the game on the internet, and i must say what a poor performance from wolves, i would have thought that being a local derby and playing at home the wolves players would have come out fighting.But all we got was a pathetic display of a team low on confidence, and obviously from their body language they have already accepted that they are going down.
You have to seriously ask the question does MM really have what it takes at this level, some of his tactics are quite baffling, like today just thumping the ball up field in the vain hope that we may get a goal, when its plain as day that our forwards need the ball to there feet, the B’ham defenders must have thought Christmas had come early. I really cant blame blake and doyle as they just didnt have any service today, and to be honest all season so far.The players in midfield just dont have the class to compete at this level, the players that MM have signed apart from Doyle cant cut it in the prem. So its not looking good i think we are definatly going down, but what really hurts is we are gonna go down not fighting but with a whimper…PATHETIC

NO.13 Yes we were happy, but I think a lot of us knew Mick wasn’t the man for the job in the premier, he should have been paid off when we got promoted, with a big thankyou. Loyalty to a manager is one thing but blind loyalty is a different and dangerous thing all together. Morgan reminds me of Gibson at M,boro a lovely bloke with a big heart but too soft to run a football club…this is a ruthless business. And why oh why is it that every time we change managers the coaching staff seem to remain the same in the whole, surely this defeats the object of change in the first place. I was a season ticket holder for nearly 30 years but just can’t afford it anymore, family comes first, but my love and passion for the club is still alive and kicking.

The way we played to day was a disgrace I don’t hope we hear “they put a shift in”. For the last few years whoever the players or Manager we never seem to be able to pass a ball to a Wolves player, this team does not have any bite or creativity to it, no leader on the field. why do we keep putting high balls up to the front two when they are out jumped and outsmarted? If we have a 7foot player why not play him? we need foley, Zubar,Castillo Elkobio back in their best positions, drop Craddock, Henry & Edwards, restore Stearman to a centre back position, with possibly Manciene, and look for a Captain centre back in January. If not we will get relegated whoever is in charge. A new manager is wishfull thinking it will not help our situation.

I said this before the beginning of the season.Mad Mick’s forte is the championship, many clubs would welcome him. Wolves and Moxey are tight, they won’t invest big time. The attitude seems to be that if we survive then we can spend money, but let’s see how the young team does first.
Too late!
The owner paid peanuts for the club promising to spend if we got promoted. We did, did he?
Think BIG, think Man City.Why are we always negative? Trying to stay up instead of challenging for a top 6 spot. I never hear the likes of Villa or Spurs even mentioning staying up. Its embarrasing.

I’m sorry that was a disgrace we finished last season in better shape than Blues and Burnley but it is now blindingly clear we have been left way behind, if the club are serious I’m afraid we need a change now, I don’t think it is emotion talking but it seems the management are not up to it at this level, tactics, selection, performance etc… have now been poor for some time barring the 2nd half at Stoke and away to Everton which now look like flukes. Curbishley in now or the club come out and say they are happy to go down and try and keep bulding by yo yoing like the baggies (who went down looking far better than us), that might be good enough down the road but it cannot be viewed as acceptable here. Worse then Jones who to be fair did not have the options or finances MM has had this year.

The stupidity of McCarthy copying Stoke and reducing the pitch width and signing Holford for his long throws has blighted us. Holford is a waste of time, but more important we had a team with two flying wingers and that was out strength.

McCarthy is a disaster, and the sooner he and the man who interviewed and appointed the last 6 managerial failures both go, the sooner we can try and turn around our season.

Football is a simple game, you try to score more goals than the opposition. To score a goal you must direct the ball towards the opposition goal either with your foot or your head. Will someone please explain this to Mick and his squad. It also helps if you don’t give the opposition a goal start because you have to do the above to get anything out of the game

Now we’re not even ‘putting as shift in’, when Mick can’t even inspire the players to at least do that then what is the point of him? Also has Connor got a contract for life? Is part of the contract for any new manager, that they have to keep Terry ****wit?

By the way, Morgan and Moxey were absolutely right when they said that we wouldn’t do an Albion, the Boggies were twice the side last season than we are now. I actually thought that we would stand more of a chance of staying up than Burnley and Blues, I obviously underestimated the genius that is Mick McCarthy, and the burning ambition of Morgan and Moxey. Now my mates are starting to laugh at me. We are now officially a laughing stock.

I was there today and I have never seen such a bad peformance by Wolves in all my time of visiting Molineux, i left the game heartbroken. After the goal went in there was nothing, its probably the quietest Molineux has been all season. And the players were rightly booed at half time and full time, and Mick McCarthy doesn’t deserve to be hailed as Super Mick during these times! This is the first time I have bad mouthed him. And as for Ebanks-blake, he looks way out of his depth! There’s something not right, why isn’t Keogh playing? Why hasn’t Maierhofer had a chance? Why is Milijas warming the bench when he’s our best player? Where was Castillo today? Why didn’t we sign a new left back in the summer? Why isn’t Zubar playing centre half? The tatics are dreadful..

Its not rocket science, Mick McCarthry is not up to the level required for Premiership survival. To put it bluntly he is tactically inept. He made two changes today which worked Hanneman and Mancienne. However we do not have a midfield that can create and therefore our forwards are starved of any service. Surely if you have to take someone off after 30 minutes you are not up to the job, Halford must have been furious. Milijas must be a regular starter and Castillo must play the anchor role. Get Keogh back and drop SEB, as he is off the pace. All we are saying is give us a goal. From one of thousands of disappointed Wolves fans.

Terrible game

No passion

No shooting

Passing back rather than going forward

SEB and Doyle aren’t firing, midfield and defence are simply being overrun

Jarvis ok, Hahnemann ok

Pains me to say but Mick needs to turn inspire some passion, time maybe running out, if we’re in the same position come the new year then Morgan needs to have a long hard think

Report abuse

to put it bluntly we were atrocious! No desire, no imagination and no creativity. An absolute shocking team choice by McCarthy althou I did agree with the decision to bring hanneman in. Not because hanneman is the better keeper but because hennesey was going through a drop in form and this is when you bring in your experienced goalkeeper. However thatis about as far as it went in terms of good managing from McCarthy. When we came up we were a swift ball on the deck team. However that playing mentality has just gone out the window. I think McCarthy looked at how well stoke did and how they played and tried to emulate that. In doing so however hes turned our players into a team that they’re not! Ever heard the phrase square pegs in round holes? Burnley have kept the same team week in week out and have played as they did last season because it worked last season and that is why they are doing so well. The players we have could keep us up this season if they are allowed to play as they are able to play although there are a few players available in january which couldnt hurt i.e anton ferdinand, david wheater, nigel reo coker and joe ledley. However we all know how stubborn mick is and now he has started trying to teach the players to play this way he wont suddenly walk into training and say you know what guys this way of playing is actually crap so go back to how we did it last year. Therefore i see no other option but to sack him before it is too late. However slightly contradicting myself i would give him the bolton game to save his job. Heyit seems to have worked for phil brown at hull!

it’s micks tactics that are wrong, playing that donkey on the right was a mistake (halford) should hav played kightly from the start and miljas should play every game i think they need to start ebanks blake because if he score a couple of goals he will score 7-8 but keogh is a player that needs to play more he is aggressive and creative Mairehoffer was a waste of money hes the talllest player in the prem but wins shit all if we dont beat bolton it mite be micks last game, but who will replace him ??

Left home at 0830, spent nearly £100 on tickets, petrol, sundries, to come up and see my team put in not just the most inept and clueless performance since Hoddle’s time, bit also show no fight or passion,pride in the shirt or respect for the fans. Why ? We showed more passion, attack, bravery and nous in the first 20 minutes against Arsenal, and first 5 minutes against Chelsea, than at any time against Brum , who were inferior opposition to both those clubs.
There is not enough experience in midfield,where we need a Bowyer, Ferguson, Carsley, Butt or Scholes, and no leadership throughout the team. I except Craddock from that last remark, but for some reason, Henry is the captain on the field. How would you know that, if he wasn’t wearing the armband ?
6 years ago, we had 4 leaders on the field, Irwin, Butler, Ince and Rae. Now, we have no-one, really.
That was the most gutless display from Wolves for years. Mick has to tell the team we have 3 games to save ourselves from inevitable relegation,and instruct them to throw their bodies into daring tackles and interceptions of hard shots, free-kicks,etc. In other words, play like men.
Also, what’s Halford for, apart from long throws ?
Today, I was ashamed.

When I said on molineux mix that MM shouold be thanked and paid off after the QPR game and a Premiership manager like Allardyce appointed, I was lambasted mercilessly.

Now it seems you are coming round to my ay of thinking.

I expected us to be beaten against Arsenal, I ex[ected us to be beaten against Chelsea- but I didn’t expect the defence to be starstruck and back off so much.

But I never expected us to be beaten by blues.

This manager has no idea tactically. The fact that three different players occupied the LB spot today is proof enough of this.

This idiot MM plays RB at LB and LB at RB and wonders why they can’t play to their strengths.

SEB is not good enough, loan him out somewhere. Recall Vokes and Ikeme- who I think is our best goalkeeper.

MM has never had any idea as to who his best side is- we fluked last year.

We also have no bottle, Henry is from West Park isn’t he, so why is he such a pansy?

We continue to jockey, jockey and get no tackles in.

Will we all be called muppets next week if we lose to Bolton and sing for the managers head?> Hopefully he will walk before that.

what an utter gutless,spineless performance from the players,we created nothing and the defence once again is utter garbage cannot concentrate, let another goal in after only 2 minutes and should of been at least 3-0 down half time.i know we have a championship team playing in the premiership but i expected better.are they still playing for mm? look at burnley mostly championship players but boy do they fight and how is it they seem to have more quality and score more goals and compete much better than us?is it the manager,why did mm persist in playing 2 short strikers and keep pumping long balls up to them when blues have 2 6ft 5″ centre backs and we leave our nearly 6ft 8″ striker on the bench?the managers tactics leave a lot to be desired,why can we no longer pass & retain the ball?in my opinion mick has wasted the best part of £18 million (except for doyle)on utter garbage lower league players who are nowhere near the standard required.if i were s.morgan i don’t think i’d give him another penny but having said that jez and sm agreed to sign these players themselves so should also be held accountable so this provesin this league you get what you pay for,pay peanuts you get monkeys.

Worse performance of the year best describes this latest performance.Early goal yet again put us on the back foot and you have to ask why is our team not switched on for games like this which are so important for our survival in the Premiership as we were flat from the very start and we were there for the taking and I blame MM for this his job amongst others is to make sure the players mindsets are right before they go out onto the pitch but this seems to be something that he can’t achieve and our results prove this to be the case.Sad to say but the writing is on the wall we are totally inept are playing liked a relegated side and if we continue with playing this sort of rubbish we will be the first team to be officially relegated.

I’ve backed Mick all the way from being hired till now, and what he did to save the club from doing a Leeds in 2006 will never be forgotten. But I don’t think he’s the right man for the job anymore. If you can’t score goals against the likes of Pompey, Brum & Hull, let alone points, then you don’t deserve to be in the Prem. We’re going to need to beat Man U, Man C, Villa, Spurs etc to stay up if we can’t even compete with those teams at the bottom – i.e., no chance.
Birmingham and Burnley are where they are now because they know, and field, their strongest team. We won’t field the same team two games in a row this season, mark my words.
Many more results like today and we’ll be needing snookers by the middle of January.

There was an interesting comment I heard from the comfort of my armchair when the SSN reporter talked about Doyle booting the ball away in anger towards the end of the game.

He said that Doyle is a proven scorer at this level, he was getting absolutely no service, was no doubt frustrated, and the referee took no action because he probably felt sorry for him.

At full time when the boos were broadcast live to the home of every footie fan in the country, I did think ‘oh dear’.

As fans, our team lost the supposedly ‘must win’ match.

Alas, it sounds – and looks from comments on here – as though the management and much of the squad has accordingly lost the supporters.

I don’t think the squad will turn it around and the understandable reaction of supporters will only increase in volume.

Can’t see any money being spent, so I only see one thing.

We’ll be back down in the Championship come next season.

Sad, but realistic.

Never know. Christmas is supposed to be a time of miracles. But I don’t see it.

We’ve been useless in derby games since Magoo was in charge-MM made cardinal mistake of labeling this as just ‘another game’; well, this was the worst derby performance i can remember in 30-odd years. Other than sentimentaly, it’s hard to make a case for Mick staying on as manager; it’s patently obvious that he doesn’t know his best team/formation- his initial selection today was woefully negative and the substitutions that followed smacked of desperation. The board need to act decisively and QUICKLY; if Mick’s to stay on, they must demand a quantum improvement in performances, as relegation under the current circumstances could only engender disunity and catastrophic loss of confidence. Otherwise, a new man should be introduced while we have an impending crop of winnable-looking games and well in advance of the transfer window. As things stand, who of any quality would sign, even if we were to trust Mick with more money?

A championship manager, yes, a premiership manager, definitely not, his record with sunderland, put down to a lack of funds, he certainly can’t say that about being here at Wolves.

The centre mids wernt showing for the ball so we couldnt build any possession.
Poor.
I dnt think sacking MM is the answer. I think some serious changes to the team are needed.
Henry out- castillo in
Craddock out- Zubar (when fit) in
Halford out- kightly/milijas in
Mancienne out- foley in
Give keogh a go! for either SEB or Doyle

Watch now as Moxey will start to distance himself from MM. There will be no real cash made available in Jan because he will believe that the current squad is good enough for the Championship.(which is true)

So who next for Jez? Who is the manager that is going to give him another couple of years and be able to get those season tickets renewed in June because lets face it that seems to be the only requirment he will be looking at when making his next appointment.

MM was a good choice for a championship manager I can’t dispute that, but JM surly must have seen his record in the premiership which is why I was puzzled by his appointment.

In my opinion, questions need to be asked of the CEO based on his past experience of selecting managers. I hope Mr Morgan can also see that!

I said that this squad of players would never be good enough as they lack quality and you get the quality you pay for, After todays (PERFORMANCE)It proves my point we have NONE .

Players like Henry ,stearman and SEB to name a few are so out of their comfort zone its not even funny .As for the buys Halford is not any better than a championship player and an average one at that , another player mancienne thank god we never signed him on a long contract even craddock makes him look crap.

The only way a club with the limited finances that we have (20 million quid left after the summer spend) is to have a manager that can inspire ordinary players to overachieve. Mick is not that person. Bring in Coppell as he been doing it all those years with Reading and is proven.
Or another way would be to get in a wealthy patron from overseas and build a team like how the top half of the Premiership do it. But not with MM in charge of course.
A club with such a great history, ground, fans and brand identity should be able to attract someone with deeper pockets than Morgan.

You have to lay some of the blame here on the club acquiesing to the epolice demands for a 12md ko.

This meant that we had to drive up- as I expect many others did as there were no trains to get us to Molineux before 12md on a Sunday- great for the carbon footprint.

Further this meant we were all up at 6am on a sunday- thanks a lot Wolves.

When is the chamber of commerce going to stand up to the police and insist that they police the matches whenever they are due to be played not when the police want them played?

Pubs going out of business at record levels, not allowed to open til 1220 yesterday, the city centre boarded up wherever you look, it is atrocious that the police are allowed to dictate in such a manner- with the threat that the license may be objected to if they don’t comply.

I am disappointed like every other wolves fan, but you can not fully blame Mccarthy. I personally blame Morgan, I would love to know where this 30 million + sky funds + trf fees have gone, it certainly hasn’t gone on the pitch. He too busy with dealing and trying impress corporate people, and is forgetting about the true fans.

Yes I know that nearly all of the summer signings was on the bench and that the side on the pitch was mostly the championship side the got us up, but you have to question how much money did McCarthy have to play with and how much Morgan needed the fund elsewhere, we all know haw the housing market as been and still is.

I just hope, whatever happens to management, that Wolves find a way out of this situation, but like all other wolves fans it’s looking grim

Wolves forever

Should we expect any different?After Halford went off we had only one player on the pitch(Doyle)who had been bought since promotion.The blame for this mess lies squarely with the management.
Morgan(A staunch Liverpool fan)has not done too badly out of this.Owning a premiership club which still has £25 million in the bank,sounds good to me. A shrewd business man ,he is now heavily involved with Redrow again,so he cannot be devoting the time that is needed to the club. This means Moxey must be running the club on a day to day basis.The thought of it sends a shiver down my spine.Nothing more than a glorified accountant who is good on the radio.Would make a good politician.Time and again people on this site have praised him saying the club,due to his efforts, is financially stable and we dont want to do a “Leeds”.With the greatest respect to these people,with the amount of money Sir Jack and Morgan have injected into the club over the years,anyone with a financial background would do a similar job. Finally we come to the third culprit,the manager.It is a great shame ,because he performed miracles to get us promoted with average championship players and for that reason alone deserves to be kept on for the rest of the season.The big mistake he has made is believing those players(Henry,Foley, Jarvis etc)would be good enough for this division. In addition he is tactically naive and is a poor premiership manager(His record proves it)and the players he has purchased in the close season are poor.
So what happens when we are relegated? Morgan needs to decide where his priorities lie.If ,as I suspect ,they are with his building company he should sell up and we can get someone who understands football.Their first two decisions should be to sack both Moxey and Mccarthy

Message to Steve Morgan:-
We, as Wolves supporters will support our team through thick and thin, hopefully you already know that BUT we will not continue to be subjected to performances by a team who do not show any enthusiasm, confidence or guts on a match to match basis. Also we do not want a manager who displays an obvious persona of being tactically inept at Premier level, spends multi-millions on players to better the squad but does not play them regularly PLUS he gives statements to the media about what other teams do and how good they are when he should be talking about Wolves and ONLY Wolves!
Not one single Wolves supporter will tell you we expect to win the Premier League, nor will one single Wolves supporter tell you they expect us to even finish halfway BUT what they will tell you is that they expect Wolves to give 100% in all games and to give it a real ‘go’ to stay in the Premier League.
So far all that has happened is – the manager has tinkered relentlessly with the team formations, has tactically got it wrong in almost every game and again, just as in the previous seasons resorted to playing players in any position but their preferred ones – yesterday being a typical case in point with a left back playing at right back and vice-versa – UNBELIEVABLE!
As the owner of this fine club YOU are in the position to change things around and put the club back on the straight and narrow and by this is meant saying to Mick McCarthy, ‘thank you for everything you have done Mick, you got us promotion which was what we wanted but I am sorry, we must say goodbye because clearly you do not have what it takes to keep this club in the Premier League’.
To do anything else and that includes leaving McCarthy’s staff in charge even for one more week, will show your intentions quite clearly, that all of your pre-season comments that you really ‘care about WWFC’ were in reality, just media ’speak’!
Action is required NOW before we are condemned to Championship football next season. For let me put you in no doubt whatsoever for is that is where we are heading if McCarthy and co remain at the helm for any longer!
Should you feel that the Championship is our rightful place then make a press statement to that effect and all supporters will know where the club stands and will make their decisions as to their future allegiance accordingly.
Furthermore, you will have noticed that the ground was not as full as could have been expected yesterday for a local derby game and come the next game against Bolton, the ground be even less so!
Defeat is hard to take at any time but if beaten by a better team when we have given our all does offset the disappointment somewhat but lack of effort, tactical mis-management and being totally inept will not wash!
So to repeat, ACTION IS REQUIRED NOW otherwise this club will be relegated and IF you seriously care about WWFC then you will do your damnest to see that that does not happen but to do nothing will surely see us playing at Derby, Scunthorpe and Preston (no offence meant to those teams) etc next season – and do you really want to be travelling to those places instead of Anfield, Old Trafford, The Emirates Stadium etc.? – No, I don’t think so but the decision is yours Mr. Morgan – DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO MAKE IT?

What a write-off yesterday was, from the time we got up and set off at 8.50 a.m. in driving rain to the time we returned in the evening, again in pouring rain. The bit in between was even more dire. No passion, no belief and, as a result, a sense of growing dejection around the ground. Never mind talking about the quality of the premier league, just compare us with the other two teams that came up with us. Look at the points difference. Look at the respective write-ups in the press. We had the better infra-structure, the better bank balance, possibly greater stability within the club; certainly a better fan base on the whole – and for what? I wrote optimistically some days ago that as long as morale did not dip, we could pull through. I was going to hold my peace until after Burnley. Following yesterday, I fear that morale has indeed dipped. Listening to Mick on the radio did not inspire confidence either. Even though we have been plagued by injuries, our team is chopped and changed. Never settled. When we were promoted, we knew players would come in. I wondered who would make way for them and anticipated a few of last season’s stalwarts would have to sit on the bench. I did not expect to see so many newcomers come in and then not be used, or hardly used. Why bring them in? I hope that it was not because of some Plan B to develop next season’s Championship team for our third attempt at getting back. I wish we knew more about Messrs. Morgan and Moxey re. their intentions – I want to know exactly where the basis for blame really lies. Nathan Lloyd, you were lucky you missed this game.

lack of mental toughness, we went one nil down and i didnt see any response
Total lack of confidence passion and pride.
Lack of creativity and quality
Edwards and Berra poor finishing all season. Unfortunately good chances have fallen to these dummies who seem to have a nosebleed when it comes to finishing in the box.
SEB really lacks sharpness and so far cant get a yard on any defender in this league.
Why not give the hoff a game
When kightly was injured why not take him off straight away, as we have other big games comin up?.
This team mirrors the manager who was a really hard working, effective no frills defender, who may have been mentally tougher than his players but lacked technique and skill like they do.
As a manager you are responsible for your signing and he’s spent millions on average players like Halford,suman, who add nothing to the squad and are not good enough.
we all konw were in a relegation dogfight but when your not able to compete with your opposition you have no chance, and question marks around the manager must be made.

From my earlier comment..I think this season is definately about damage limitation..Wolves as we are led to believe have a healthy bank balance bolstered by premiership tv revenue. Working on the 07/08 season Derby picked upon 29.1 million for finishing bottom with parachute payments amassing to between 6.5 to 11.4 million for the first 2 seasons out of the premiership. Interesting to note Boltons 08/09 accounts showed that although they finished 13th in the league, they lost 13.2 million and there net debts rose to 64 million. Personally, this brings me back to what I said earlier.. just like our economy.. I think the state of a lot of the lower end premiership teams is dire.. a bubble ready to pop. No wonder a two tiered premiership has been touted. Damage limitation with just a slight sniff of survival? We’ll see shortly!

267 are you thick , none of the players you mention are Prem quality, in fact only half are CCC, fans like you need to support WW not MM FC
4 wins in 51 prem starts, complete new team required, accadamy kids ruined, Keepers ruined.
Money wasted should have given all the fans a free season ticket, and just do what we have done keep the Crap that we had last year.
keogh and ward the saviours just about sums us up, this is why we are in this position, poor players, 1st division at top

2 shots at goal 1st half=PATHETIC
Championship players=RELEGATION
Its so annoying I have been looking forward to competing in the Premiership and now it looks like we have blown our chance because of the skinflint tatics of “JOB DONE MOXLEY” when in reality he has consigned us back to Championship football next season,I have been told by a good friend who is a Stoke Fan that the fans had parties to celebrate Moxleys departure.
We are now in a worse position than in 2003/04 season with less points and we have no Paul Ince or Denis Irwin to lead us.
Mr Morgan now is your chance to take tough decisons and be a leader start by sacking Moxley,McCarthy,Clipboard bring in Gordon Strachann or Steve Coppell and make funds availiable in January.A wise man only makes a mistake once, backing Moxley who failed in keeping us in the Prem last time would be a grave error of judgement.

278 Dublin – you have just made my point for me. Wednesday, Forest, Derby and Soton were not ‘good teams’ last year. Against other promotion contenders we tended to show grit, not class. But I would settle for that if it produced results against the bottom six in the Premiership, which it isn’t.

Cheer up everyone. It could be worse…….they could be charging £600 for a season ticket to watch this rubbish!!!!
Hold on a minute….THEY ARE CHARGING £600 FOR A SEASON TICKET TO WATCH THIS RUBBISH!!!!!

It is about time the club had a total clear out in the back-room staff. Terry Connor has been around years and kept on, but he is obviously inept tactically and getting the best out of players.
Our fitness coach is Tony Daley!!!
Then back a new boss with getting some quality in, rather than the usual players that run a lot and put a shift in, which is what seems to please Thick Mick – oh as well as players saying’ yes boss’ to him all the time.

Well almost 300 comments-thats got to be a record and that says it all!!! Firstly we shoot ourself in the foot every home match by not generating an intimidating-UP FOR IT atmosphere,i cringe every time i hear that Hi Ho Silver (Aston Villas match day song by the way)-BRING BACK THE LIQUIDATOR-lets get some atmosphere at the ground!!! Its already been proven and is now being proven again McCARTHY CARNT CUT IT IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!-thanks for getting us up Mick,but with the exception of Doyle the signings are rubbish! We’ve been crying out for an experienced midfield ball winner who can pass(ALAN SMITH,Newcastle),our midfield is powder puff! But who has McCarthy been watching???-SIMION JACKSON at Gillingham!!!-no dought another ‘young and hungry’ player!-they are no good to us now,we need ‘BEEN THERE-SEEN AND DONE IT’ players,experienced Premiership players to bring our young squad on.I Realise that we are millions of pounds behind all but 3-4 premier league teams-theyve been getting £50m per season since the premier league started,but the fact is we battered Villa a few weeks ago yet the performance against Blues was a shambles.Yes they wernt much better but they are in the same boat as us,its points that count now and them and Burnley are miles in front of us.After the next 3 games we could be 10-12 points adfifft of safty-less than half the season gone and only Chelsea or Man U form can save us!!! McCarthy must go,no room for sentiment,remember last time we went down and even worse the times before that!!! I DONT want to see Steve Coppell here-he keeps walking out of jobs,dont want Ince either(think Blackburn!).Maybe Curbishley,lets see who applies before its too late.

237,Sevlow Seems to me that 98% of posts disagree with your way of thinking.Why should MM Remain in the job with his record at premiership level.Does not know his best team,Started with 4 CBs yesterday,3 LBs appeared at sometime during the Game,( NOT ONE A recognised left back).Championship midfielders at best no service to front 2.If you are happy being made the laughing stock of the prem then you my friend are not a true supporter.

So you say 98% disagree with me? That does not concern me at all because from reading some of the comments on here most of the posters on here have no idea whatsoever regarding football.

So we let MM get us into the prem and then after a run of bad results we sack him? Maybe he should have been sacked when we had that very bad spell last season? Nonsense talk

Laughing stock? We were always going to be one of the 2nd class sides in this division.

Not a true supporter? You have no idea what you are talking about making statement like that. I first watched Wolves away to Blackpool in 1959 and I still support the Wolves and always will.
A lot of posters on here are too fickle, you either support your team or you dont. You cant just be supporters when the going is good and everything is nice and rosey in the garden. You have to back them 100% when the sh*t hits the fan, not run away bleating about it.

one last point, I respect the positive comments, like birmingham having one of the best defensive records in the league, which is true.
But the problem is we still need 6-9 points by the end of the year to have a fighting chance of staying up. When you lose games like this in the way we did, you just double the pressure on yourself. I predict a very nervy performance against bolton. with portmouth v burnley, brum v wigan, we could be bottom of the table of we dont win.

We were attrocious at Chelsea (I’m sure Moxey would have given us our £47 back if we’d lost 9-1!!!!!) and worse against Birmingham. Looking at the demeanour of a number of players, I fear MM is losing the dressing room. Foley is fit, but not even on the bench – perhaps his fall out with MM a few weeks ago explains this – he was our player of the season last year. Mancienne hasn’t recovered for being blamed for Henry’s mistake against Blackburn and looks totally uninterested and Halford’s refusal to shake MM’s hand when he left the field says it all. There are too many “favourites” who are either not good enough or under performing – SEB must come out – no goals from open play this year says it all. We needed at least 7 out of 9 against Blouse, Bolton and Burnley and we’re chasing our tails already to get anywhere near that. There’s no method or cohesion in the team and Henry can’t even look after his own game let alone that of 10 others on the pitch – who started the rumour about him playing for England? Terry Connor probably. Morgan needs to decide quickly what he wants to do – we need to at least beat Bolton and Burnley for him to even think of avoiding giving MM his P45 for Xmas.

Report abuse

Winslow, I understand the need for a wheeler dealer type with loads of contacts, shrewd tactician and no doubt a good man manager…..but is there one out there? I mean a real stand out candidate who can give us a better chance of avoiding the drop. Im not sure there is.

I know it’s an age old argument but Mick was working at Sunderland with one hand tied behind his back and although some of his recent transfer dealings have to be questioned (Halford, Surman, the Hoff) he has also stated publically that he was interested in players of the calibure of Dunne, why wasn’t he backed?? Surely the money men should be held accountable also, perhaps Moxey has reached his ceiling?

Let’s not panic, what we need is a win (and quick!!) to keep ourselves in touch. Can I currently see 3 worse teams than us in the league? Maybe not currently, but less than month ago I probabaly would have said yes. Things can change quickly. If after Bolton and Burnley we look doomed then maybe changes will need to be made but we are not doomed yet.
Mick needs to organise this team better, let’s get in the faces of teams (like we did against Wigan, Fulham, Villa 2nd half, Everton, Stoke) and play players in their correct positions.

As you said rightly….lets continue to hope and pray and support our team when they need it the most.

Changing the manager will not affect the outoome of this season, as by the time any decision is made to sack MM, find a replacement, install him at the club and for him to get to know the players well enough to forumlate some tactics, it will be February, and too late to save this season. Unless someone can inject some creativity, spirit and have-a-go mentality, which in turn will bring in some much needed self-belief, we might as well all give in to the doom and gloom and relegation mentality that is dominating this thread. Come on Wolves! What’s to lose? If we are going to go down then I for one would rather see us fight every week and lose 5-2 (a la Sunderland) than just get laughed off the pitch for losing 1-0 to minor neighbours.

One life, one club. Come on you Wolves.

283.Winslow, I understand the need for a wheeler dealer type with loads of contacts, shrewd tactician and no doubt a good man manager, but is there one out there? I’m not sure there is, at least one who is available.

Mick’s one hand tied behind his back at Sunderland argument has been done many times but it is true nonetheless. He has stated publically he had an interest in Dunne, Dann, Johnson but the money men didn’t back him, maybe Moxey has reached his ceiling? It’s not as though a signings of that quality would have resulted in us doing a Leeds or Southampton would it?

Your right, let’s continue to hope and pray and support our team when they need it the most starting with Saturday and see where we stand after Burnley.

Andy I don’t disagree with you at all but whtever his situation at Sunderland you cant help but feel it is history repeating, all very well saying you’re interested in Dunne but not realistic though. Dann and Johnson looked awesome and could and should have been playing for us, but Jez didn’t come up with the funds and/or playing for MM wasn’t an attractive prospect. Come on Wolves I love ya. As I said its a real shame Veneables has been out of the game too long as he has all those qualities in spades

Face it, Blues beat Wolves without being at full throttle. They have played much better this season. It was an easy victory. McCarthy was out thought by McLeish, Wolves players couldn’t match up in quality, ability, intelligence and bottle. McCarthy is taking another team down.

Mr.Morgan,do you remember that you said we weren`t here to make the numbers up?Did you tell McCarthy that also?If you did he is either ignoring you or didn`t understand what you meant.Do you really believe that he can get us out of this situation?
