Nenad offers glimpse of future
Monday 27th July 2009, 11:19AM BST.
Nenad Milijas tries a long range effort.
Wolves may change formation in the Premier League after boss Mick McCarthy admitted Saturday’s defeat had been a “reality check”.
Although Wolves’ star of the show Nenad Milijas could have had five goals, a strong side looked second best against a Bristol City team who start their season a week earlier than McCarthy’s men.
Wolves looked sluggish against the lively movement of front duo Nicky Maynard and Danny Haynes.
But it was the way they struggled against a three-man central midfield – Bristol City played 3-5-2 – that prompted a rethink by McCarthy on his long-favoured 4-4-2 formation as the Premier League looms.
“I learned something about the shape of our team and how we play,” said the boss.
“In the Premier League, a lot of teams will play with three in the middle of the park and if they do, I think we’ll have to match them up.
“I left it as it was on Saturday to see how we could cope with it, but had we been playing a competitive game I would have changed it straight away.
“It was a reality check for all of us.
“We’re not a Premier League team yet – we’re a team that’s earned the right to play there, and there’s a big difference.
“Hopefully they’ll all be flying by the time we put the team together for the start of the season.”
If and when Wolves look to change things, they appear to have the ideal man to adapt in Milijas.
The Serbian playmaker oozed class on his first appearance on English soil since his £2.6m move from Red Star to suggest he could have a major bearing on Wolves’ fortunes this season.
“Nenad’s an excellent player, and, despite an indifferent performance from us, he still stood out as a very good player,” said McCarthy.
“If we have to play three in central midfield, then he’s fantastic in there (behind a forward).
“He’s very good in that slot further forward, it’s probably his best position. But I thought he played very well in the first half too with Karl Henry in (central) midfield. I don’t know how many attempts on goal he had but I was really pleased with him.”
Wolves struggled for fluency against slicker opponents on the day, perhaps the effects of training. The visitors did have the first chance however, Greg Halford miskicking on the volley from inside the six-yard box from Kevin Foley’s cross.
Halford also headed firmly wide from Milijas’ corner.
And it was the Serbian playmaker who provided Wolves’ best moments of the opening half, seeing a 30-yard drive tipped around the post by keeper Martin Lejsal before his cross-shot sailed wide from 15 yards following the resulting corner.
But the hosts looked more dangerous and they scored twice in five minutes to take a decisive 2-0 lead into the break from which Wolves never recovered.
David Clarkson hit the post from the edge of the area after Stephen Ward was dispossessed, and, after Milijas’s efforts, City took a 33rd minute lead.
Haynes finished confidently with the outside of his right foot after turning Christophe Berra from Maynard’s through ball. All that came following Sylvan Ebanks-Blake giving the ball away.
Haynes was clear again soon after only to lob straight at Wayne Hennessey. City doubled their lead on 38 minutes when Maynard superbly took advantage of the space in front of him to lash a rising right-foot shot into the roof of the net from 30 yards.
Wolves made four changes at the break, introducing Jody Craddock, Richard Stearman, Michael Kightly and Dave Edwards for Bobo Balde, Berra, Halford and Andy Keogh as they went 4-4-1-1, pushing Milijas forward as a support striker to Ebanks-Blake. But the Championship side continued to look sharper. Haynes was denied by a one-handed save from Hennessey after a ball over the top from Jamie McAllister split the defence.
Jamie McCombe should have punished Wolves with a free header six yards out only for Hennessey to prevent a certain goal, before Maynard could only find the side-netting as the angle just beat him.
After each City chance, Wolves responded through Milijas.
The former Red Star Belgrade man saw his first effort deflected wide before his drive was saved at the second attempt by Lejsal, who then clawed away the Serb’s curling free kick. The game died somewhat as a spectacle amid a flurry of 10 substitutions over the last 20-odd minutes.
But Lejsal wasn’t to be beaten and he denied Ward with a falling save before tipping George Friend’s fierce drive over.

If we can’t beat Bristol what chance have we got against the big boys?
Time to wake up and sign some quality Mick!!
Report abuse
I think if we went 3-5-2 it makes it even more vital that we get a quality ball winner in there. Milijas behind Doyle and Ebanks Blake and Henry with a Nolan or even Mancienne could sit infront of the back four. Huddlestone, Aaron Ramsay on loan we have options and this problem needs to be addressed now.

“reality check” ??
I don’t believe you said that.What are you saying ? You surely don’t think that side is ready for the prem do you ?? We are desperately short of the prem players we were promised.Berra for one will not make the cut.I know you can’t judge too much from friendlies but surely the manager saying he learned something on Saturday suggests he hasn’t learned all that he needed to when his Sunderland team were taken apart week in and week out.Time to wake up and get the players in who will at least give us a fighting chance.
“I learned something about the shape of our team and how we play,” ??
This scares me to death ! Don’t you realise you dictate the shape of our team and the way we play and you shouldn’t be learning anything from playing a friendly against that lot.
Please sign a quality centre half, a left back and another midfielder before the start, i beg you,we don’t want to threaten the record set by Derby.

Get a life Bob Wolf. It’s a pre season friendly! Did you not read what Mick said about testing out the formation and chsnging things if it were a competitive match? Typical of so many Wolves fans…… let’s panic first, criticise the team second, and as a last resort (only if you really have to)apply objective logic!
Report abuse
Looks like Milijas is the only decent player we have sighned the others appear slow and lethargic. It is quite clear that some of the players are not Premiership class. If MM persists in playing the likes of HILL, WARD, KEOGH, CRADDOCK,and doesn’t sort the defence out we are only going to get no where. Time to take a rain check and sort things out MM.
Report abuse
Whilst I wouldn’t want to underestimate the contribution of some of our championship winning side last term I do have to say that I do have concerns that the likes of ward and craddock will just not cut it in the premier league. I don’t want to be seen as a whinger but just think we need to do better especially if we are going to try and stop some of the best strikers in the world! I do trust Mick to sort it but certainly think we need some further work to pave over a couple of obvious cracks in our squad!!! I just hope now terry has committed to Chelsea that mancienne may well find himself squeezed out in our direction!!!!

3. Slight over-reaction maybe? It’s a pre season friendly. Since when were these ANY indictor whatsoeever of the season ahead? Obviously we’re a better side than Bristol City, as the league table showed and that was before spending 13 million quid. Last pre-season Hull lost 4-0 to Crewe so shut up with the moaning at least until something actually goes wrong.
Report abuse
A very worrying statement by Mick especially as we are so near the start of the season.The current situation reminds me so much of our previous stint in the premiership,ie buying players we had never heard of and then not being ready to play when the season starts.we were told experienced players would be recruited ,they havent. we were told they were attempting to recruit younger players from top clubs on loan,again they havent.
Report abuse
The biggest lesson to learn is that Karl Henry is not good enough and will be overrun. He is very limited as a championship footballer and will be ruthlessly exposed in the prem. It’s a case of how many points will be lost realising this.
Tinker with the formation, but the sooner this is realised the better.
I wonder which of Ebanks and Doyle will be sacrificed for a 4-5-1 formation?
Report abuse
We should not be panicking re these friendly results, however, we need to be looking for another couple of recruits at the very least.
The good news is that Milijas looks like he will not be a Silas or Frankowski and could be an absolute snip. The thing is the next couple of friendlies will not be our strongest team as Balde will be playing for starters. We must give Stearman and Zubar as much time on the pitch as Berra is not up to speed.
Let’s judge after the Real Valloloid fixture, when you are more likely to see a first choice line up minus Doyle, who is hoping to be fit for West Ham!

3. i totally agree mate well said we do need 2 or 3 more signings with experience but also have faith in the lads mate its only pre season but it is a reality check and the team we have now were gonna do a derby

The defence on Saturday was dreadful, we need to get the central defence sorted. Milijas was class.

I’m not sure what to worry about the most… If M.M really thinks we are ready for the Premiership already, or that he is looking at changing the system this close to the season… Surely the players we have got for the 3-5-2 formation, APART from the fact that WE HAVE 1 DECENT CENTRE HALF (zuby), and 1 INTERNATIONAL CENTRE MIDFIELDER (milijas)… Come On M.M, you have to get the players in to fit a system, and we are staring to be a little concerned about the lack of PREMIER EXPERIENCE, OR QUALITY…

What can one say, except sign Ledley, sign Duff, gett MM back on loan and then sign a quality striker for when we have injuries – like now. We will be well and truly stuffed if we don’t get on with it. I know its easier said than done and it costs, but we need that quality. :-)

What a surprise we lost a friendly to a team below us and people are panicking. The team are useless, no ones good enough for the prem and the 3M’s haven’t got a clue. Hopefully they’ll read this and splash 50m on four new players. No manager is ever going to please everyone all the time but McCarthy is the best manager we’ve had in years. He’s proved it from taking a football club with a squad of youth players to a prem team in 3 years. Without spending a’lot of money. I know there’s a’lot of experts out there with vast knowledge and experience but calm down. We need to keep our faith in Mick and back him, he hasn’t let us down yet. I hope we do sign 2 or 3 more players. I think players like halford and surman are good squad additions. 2 or 3 more first team players are needed and I think we’ll do that before the start of the season. Can’t wait for it to start.

Some of you lot that comment on here really are numpties! That wasn’t wolves 1st team playing, there was no Zubar, Jarvis, Iwelumo, Doyle, An unfit Kightly only played 45 mins, and Elokobi is just coming back from a year out!
Man city also lost and were outplayed by a Kasier Chiefs team that are no better than bristol city and they had £116m worth of players on display, does this mean there going to get relegated as well?
I bet it was you lot that were commenting on here last summer saying sack Muppet Mick and we won’t even make the play offs after we lost 1-0 to wrexham in a friendly.

Don’t worry Hull will have that record beaten by a stretch infact so could Burnley. I wonder what odds you’d get for both those teams to beat Derby’s record? I wouldn’t read to much into the game fitness will have played a huge part, but as I’ve said before as have a few others we still need two or 3 signings and need to utilise the loan market. Lauren, Michael Ball and Hamman are still available on free transfers, Mancienne and Ramsay/Wiltshire/Macheda on loan if available. I would like to see Nolan here he’s 26, all the attributes of an International midfielder(passing range, stamina strength, ariel ability, goals, leadership qualities, brave and a fighter and he’s quick too) he just needs a foot up the jacksy!!!

Why does Mick think that players like Ward, Keogh, Henry and Craddock are going to be good enough?
It was the quality of Jarvis/Kightly/Ebanks Blake that got us promoted, and the muppets of last year need to be moved on.

Some people want to get a grip – it is a pre-season friendly and Bristol City are a week ahead of us. Fitness and team building are the main thing. I still feel we will get a couple more signings in and we have a good chance. You look at the teams we will most likely be competing with: Hull, Bolton, Burnley, Blues, Wigan, Portsmouth, Blackburn and possibly Fulham. So lighten up and be positive!!!

13 Zamora,s not a quality striker. he scored
2 goals last season. I would not call that
quality and the money Fulham are asking would

I think that going 3-5-2 could be a good idea 2bh. Just hope we can get Mancienne in on loan, a winger (free agent Jerome Thomas was at training apparently today from Pompey), and another midfielder on loan. Then another striker and left back would be nice but I doubt this would be looked at till January now. If we were to play 3-5-2 this would be my line up…
————- Hennessey ————-
– Foley —- Mancienne — Elokobi –
Kightly — Henry — Zubar — Surman

I can understand people saying it is only a friendly,but over the years how many friendlies have any of these people been to at Molineux when we entertained top flight clubs.Most years that I can recall such as when we played Villa ,Spurs, and even Reading, all had that extra bit of class.It would appear other than Milijas ,we were decidedly second rate.The defence in particular is a real worry.Surely all Wolves fans are concerned about this?
Report abuse
Despite one or two of the coments above, I still think Karl Henry will have a good season next year for us, but it will go unrecognised as he won’t score any more than 2 goals and that’s all some people judge a player by.
As for doing a Derby and getting 11 points or less, people saying this really do know nothing. Whilst we’re on the subject of pesimistic whingers, would love to hear from Bob Wolf, Wolvesmod, etc… what would make you come on here after 10 matches and apologise for all the negative rubbish you’ve being spouting? 10 points, 15 points, 20 points? Set the boys a target to aim for, I’m sure like me, they’d love to shut you up.

Southbank, I like 3-5-2 when you have the players to do it, but you need 3 quality centre halves and two outstanding wingbacks and foley and elokobi are neither they are both good full backs, I actually think Foley will porve to be prem class. If we had Mancienne and played that formation it would probably look like this
Hennesey
Stears Mancienne Zubar
Henry
Foley Kightly Milijas Jarvo
SEB Doyle.
Personaly I think that leaves us light in the middle defensively week down the left to, and I’m not sure Henry is going to meet the rquired standard.
I would prefer a 4-5-1 if we play 5 in the middle

The “Get Rid of MM Brigade” live in their own fantasy world. We have a first class Manager (ex Republic of Ireland) so where is the no experience? You really are thick muppets, you obviously know nothing about football! Do you really think Morgan & Moxey would get rid of him-not a chance. he deserves our support. Remember he got us automatic promotion when during the season you muppets were even then wanting him sacked.Also may i remind you of the “young and hugry” players whop have come to Molineux since MM has arrived and the diabolical state that Mr Glen Hoddle left the club? My advice shut up complaining and either get behind him and the team or support the baggies and then you would be in your element with plenty to moan and complain about.

I wish some of you would get off MM’s case, I mean come on the guy worked a minor miracle in 3 years to get us up after the shambles Hoddle left behind. He has recently stated to his credit that it is difficult getting the right players in to improve on what we already have, so use your head people a prem team cannot be built over night it takes maybe three years ,just like building a team to get out of the CCC.

I will be first to admit i felt panic at the 2-0 loss to Bristol city, but after all it is pre-season, but i don’t think a simple change of formation is the key to a wining formula, we still need some more signings to strengthen the squad, defender’s being an obvious example,Berra and co could not cope with championship strikers , what will Rooney , Owen and co do to them, sign some re- enforcement’s , competing for places is a good thing and will bring out the best in all positions in the team.

Nenad is a player with promise and should do well in the Premier league. A centrehalf is required and a player that come to mind is Man City Richard Dunne or Mancienne on a season loan, to strengthen the team.

i hear people asking for facts and objective logic….
yes there is very little logic in reading into a pre season friendly result, e.g our 6-1 loss to morcambe some years back. BUT there is plenty to say about the post match comments again.
Pointless excuses like “bristol had a week longer to prepare than us” really isnt helping micks reputation.
Basically, the point is we have been lied to and conned again by the words of the ‘three m’s’
Wolves as a club were going to learn from the mistakes of 2003. Mick as a manager was going to learn from his mistake with sunderland. and moxey said we were going to spend spend spend to ensure the safety of our club. Mick was going to drop his incescent 24-27 year old filter and get some real premiership experience in?
4 statements which we were fobbed off with as they havent delivered.
1. We’ve got nobody that has really played in the Premier league for any longer than a season.
2. We havent signed anyone that we couldnt have bought this time last year.
3. The money spent is a pittence and oh so similar to the amount Jonah spent 5 years ago.
4. We continue to be fed that there is no room for ‘big time charlies’ and ‘barrack room lawyers’…
5. We have merely added to rather than really improved the squad
the major worry for us all is that we will continue to accomodate s.ward, keogh, karl henry at the expense of other, better, more capable players
