Never expected to win but could have been much worse. We simply lack quality and Muppet is shown to be out of his depth with a team selection that did not contain the little qulaity we have – too many championship players with a championship manager. Bottom by Christmas, thanks Mick, Moxey and Morgan – your lack of ambition is evident and you’ve already blown it – never mind we’ve got £25mil in the bank, to buy countless more lower league bargains….PATHETIC!!

we kind of expected this type of result at the hands of the big 4, but the number of goals we’re shipping is a concern. Whilst we also kind of expect to lose at Utd too, I hope it won’t be another 4!

Seeing as how Henry and Craddock and the rest who voice their thoughts, all look forward to playing with the best, I’d like to think that some of the lessond could be applied in the following games.

Our defence should be therefore performing better than they seem. It’s sure putting extra emphasis on the (now big three) games at home against the 3 x B’s!!

So come on guys and get behind the boys and let’s hope our famed attack gets some self esteem and confidence and a bit of recklessness so we can just play without a care and lash a couple of goals in, whilst the defence toughens up and plays a little imperiously like they were a few months ago in a ‘previous life’ (Champ Lge)

11 v 11 is where the similarity between these 2 clubs ends unfortunately. When a club is bank-rolled by a Russian billionaire, with players bought for tens of millions, you might expect it to do rather well.

Unfortunately, the Premier League is far from a level playing-field these days.

To be honest, I always expected a result like this. Chelsea were absolutely awesome today, if they don’t win the league, im an Albion fan honestly! We must focus on next week now, an absolute massive game, and the lads need us more than anything at the moment. The support from our lads today was absolutely fantastic, bloody brilliant. Hopefully this can continue next week and throughout the rest of the season.

Watched the game live on ESPN here in Brazil. Looking at M.M. on the touch line summed up everything for me, he is normally very animated and shouting instructions to players. Today he zipped up and said nothing. Mr Moxey please make money available to spend on quality Premiership Players in the next transfer window or we are going back to the Championship division next year, you cannot expect to play football and stay in the Premiership without spending real money.
I understand we are not going to beat the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea but if we do not buy some quality players we will not beat the likes of Burnley, Birmingham etc. The Chelsea game proved to me my beloved Wolves are a team of journeymen and nothing else, in the game we were made to look like a team from the old Vauxall Conference and I mean OLD.
This game was an embarrassment and unless something very drastic is done we are going down next year.

Report abuse

The fact that Mick is totally out of his depth has been proven categorically by the thrashings from both Arsenal and Chelsea. He is looking forward to a dog fight to stay in the Premiership.

Mick’s total lack of tactical ability means that he cannot begin to compete at this level.

Morgan needs to protect his investment and that can only be done by sacking McCarthy now and recruiting somebody like Curbishley who will ensure our survival in the Prems.

Why shoiuld we go back down again just to satisfy the ego of McCarthy. He gave his best and he has failed, so be it. Thanks for what you did, but the time has come to part!

I really dont want to be the first to say something but i really have to get it off my chest, people can say what they like, i love the Wolves and would love to see them stay up, but under Mick Mccarthy i cant see it, 3 5 2 against Chelsea is mad, we cant defend with 4 defenders but what does Mick go and do play 3. Wolves fans need to get their heads out of the clouds and smell the coffee, Most of the Wolves players are’nt good enough, Karl Henry, Castillo, in midfield too weak and clueless, preach all you want these players are just not good enough, Mick took us up with nothing, yeah thats right, hes spent 18mill and were are we in the league, Dave Jones took us up and he was the best thing since sliced bread, what did he have to spend NOTHING! what happened, we sacked him, so really Mick is not Super Mick, he is a good championship manager at best FACT, henry is championship at best and that is saying a lot. Say what you want Wolves fans but you all know you will screaming for Micks blood. FACT.

I attended yesterday with hubby and children. Over £300 paid out before we even stepped on a train.
I thought that we were the fans yesterday, but it seems I was wrong. The players were star struck and looked like groupies.Wolves playerts Swapping shirts with chelsea players afterwards only emphasised that.

I expected to get beat never expected to take anything from the game.But it is the manner of the defeat that is so upsetting.

It seems wolves players weren’t allowed to tackle chelsea players, jockeying them all around the pitch. The opening goal was a testimony to that.

MM has to learn very fast ie by next week that he cannot keep playing players out of position. I was nevber a fan of MM and wanted him paid off after the QPR game but he is the manager.

In addition I don;t think SEB will score any goals at this level.He is too lazy and wins few headers and hangs off the opposition defence until he falls over feigning being fouled.

Get Vokes back from Leeds he will run all day and is a strong lad. I might have even preferred to see Maierhoffer at this game.

Must win game next week.

WOw. I read some of your comments above with increasing exasperation. Someone has the temerity to pronounce on the basis of two heavy defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea that Mccarthy is clueless and must be sacked. You are a moron plain and simple if you cannot grasp the very simple truth that Chelsea (to take one of the two teams) should beat us in the manner they did. How many millioons have Chelsea spent on players in the Abramovich era? Chelsea made the Champions league final two years ago, lost unluckily to Barcelona in the semis last season and are top of the Premier league. Chelsea will hammer better teams than us so for you lot to start moaning on about being clueless, not having passion, ambition etc is just a load of pathetic crap. Face facts and get real. John Terry’s wages are about the same as almost our entire squad

Oh and if you are embarrassed to be a wolves fan then stop going, stop listening and stop watching because we dont need people like you at our club. Your constant negativity, moaning and ill informed comments on forums such as these are not welcome.

Win or lose I’m proud to be a fan of wolverhampton wanderers. All I ask of the players and staff is that they do their best.

I have read this blogg and it appears that several “Away” Fans have posted–

Watched the game on ESPN packed with Wolves fans in Wolves-I have to say we are really not good enough and I have to say the worst display I have seen for some time–

Players are really not good enough and the body language of some makes me wonder why they are with us.

No fight cannot do basics, several rated particularly our forward shown to be ordinary if that.
No fight and apart from Mat-Chelsea played the game like a trainning outing.

The next two games are really important if we lose then we are back in the Championship.

Make no real comments about MM but “This is his Sunderland all over again”.

Will be at the Blues game and hope for a win but repeat that display and we are doomed,

Fail to accept the Doyle abscence ” Fatigued” well I know lot of players who play the game- who would love to be tired on twenty grand a week-He is the only player of PREM standard we have and if he was just on the bench I would accept that excuse..

Having said that, the next 3 games are vital to our season. I do not think you can put too much of a point on it.

I agree with lone wolf, what do you expect against a team like Chelsea, Mcarthy is usually agitated at the team, but there was no point we were going to get beaten who ever he played, yes most of the football from our players was disappointing to say the least. I believe he rested the players who will be picked against Birmingham, which is the right thing to do. Our season will be determined by what we do against the bottom 8 teams and anyone who thinks any difference doesn’t understand the Premier League.

Outclassed

I didn’t go to the match but watched it on TV.

McCarthy chose the wrong game to try a formation that we have never played, while he has been manager & it showed, not that we seemed to have a formation.

It’s hard to pull any positives from yesterdays performance, but I thought Jarvis & Surman did OK, the rest were v poor, we were nowhere near them, Chelsea had so much time on the ball it was embarrassing,the build up to th 3rd was a joke, touch, pass all the way through we just didn’t close them down, then to cap it all, Hennessey decides to dive over the ball, not once but twice, I couldn’t help but notice that there were no such mistakes for Wales last week!!!!

I’m probably in the minority here, but I can’t see what Castillo gives the team, he’s been poor virtually everytime he has played, as has Halford the only reason, I presume he is in the team is because of his ‘throwing ability’ not even that worked yesterday, I saw his inclusion as a wasted opportunity to get some much needed football time into Kevin Foley & Milijas ahead of what are 2 critical home games.

Stearman down the left just isn’t working & is v unfair on the lad.

I think McCarthy needs to have a long hard look at himself this week, he doesn’t seem to know what his best team is & we need to start playing a settled team & playing players in their correct positions.

as usual a defeat brings out the sack mick brigade.

the real barometer is where we are in relation to 17th place. we are not adrift and with 3 winable games coming up the situation can soon change.
as for MM’s record in the prem he had no funds at all at Sunderland and after he was sacked things didn’t improve for then did they?
just think back to where we were when Mick took over and see what has been achieved.

I think many fans, particularly those that went to the game yesterday have reached the same conclusion that with the current manager things do not look hopeful. The formation against Chelsea was an utter disgrace, we knew we were going to claw back some collective pride. Mick comes across as a honest and amiable chap – and it is a shame that football at this level does seem to allow these qualities to prosper but his combined record of results for Sunderland and Wolves must make him one of the worst premier division managers. What we need now is clear direction from Morgan – either he wants to make Wolves into a force in the Premier League or all his words at the end of last season were pure window dressing. Time for some big and brave decisions, before it’s too late.

Yes I and all other true wolves fans did not expect to get much from the arsenal and chelsea game We also did not expect that our defence would be so overly generous as they have been in every game this year.Especially in the last two games just look at the goals conceded, these goals were not down to arsenal or chelsea ripping us apart with their superior play and players!!These were dreadful pieces of play from our players and I as a wolves fan cannot and will noe expect this!!!

I will also add that ONLY recently BARCELONA were given a lesson that you dont have to be multi talented to compete when the russians showed what can be done just by defending as a unit!!!My beloved team wolves have got beat in games against no-hopers teams who do not have toilets at there grounds remember CHORLEY.

So my point is you dont need to be earning millions and worth millions to defend!!You need unity and togetherness and spirit along with a playing style and beleif and I tell you for nothing We would not have been humilated the way we have.

We have had portsmouth and Hull both at home and both before our hammerings at the hands of chelsea and arsenal and what did we do ??????!!!Yet burnley and birmingham are on better runs and sitting pretty so dont be fooling ourselves we are favourites as we are not.Over decades DAVID AS OVERCOME GOLIATH we need a DAVID…..IF we got say JOSE MOURINIO these very players who some say cant play in this league will finish in the top half.!!

Hmm some agree with me, others seem to think that I must be an Albion fan in disguise. I’m not. I love Wolves just as much as anyone else but that doesn’t mean I can’t be practical about it.
Sack Mick? Ok let’s say we do get rid now, who comes in. Mourinho? Yes he wants out of Inter and European football to come to a struggling Premier league team mid season doesn’t he? You say you will not run away from reality Wanderer in Eire but then talk of replacing Mick with someone like Mourinho! While we are at it lets get Robinho from Man city, Ronaldo from Real and Messi from Barca! People as good as Mourinho are already in higher profile jobs with much larger transfer budgets than we can offer so I feel that it is only sensible to continue as we are, and if Mick fails to keep us up then we replace him at the end of the season. Mccarthy deserves that I think.
You also say that under mourinho our current squad could finish in the top half. If that is true (which I doubt) then why are you blaming Mccarthy and not underperforming players? And if it is true then why would you want to get rid of the manager that put it together?

It’s not the loss to top 4 sides but the decimation that smarts. Its not the dropping of ponts against the top 4 that gets us worried, its the DROPPING OF POINT AGAINST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE RELEGATION FAVOURITES.

someone mentioned it earlier – you cant knock the players – you can see they are playing their hearts out. They simply arent (bar one or two) up to Premiership standard.

Who is responsible for bringing them to WWFC?
Exactly.

Another young and hungry on Micks shopping list and I dare say we will have a very strong Championship team for next season.

Mick and the board have shown their intention in the last transfer, and I have no doubt it will be more (or less) of the same in January.

Coyle and co are able to lift their game, added to some astute signings and almost upset a couple of the big boys, but it is clear Mick and Moxey are incapable of this.

No one likes losing – and to Chelsea for me is even worse – not because I think we should be anywhere near beating them – but because I have never liked them since the swaggering 70s !! But – reality has to kick in now. We should lose to Arsenal and Chelsea AT THE MOMENT ….and that is the vital statement !! We have to build a squas that is capable of staying in this division first and go from there. With some sensible additions we can do this – and do it comfortably – as did Stoke, Fulham, Wigan and Sunerland before us. Wait until we have played Birmingham Bolton and Burnely. If we are not atleast 7 points better off by then – and hopefully 9 – then we will need a very serious and radical rethink – but at least not until then !! Come On Wolves !!

I have always thought Mick has done a reasonable job 352 at Chelsea stupid and tactically inept.

In the summer he bought a huge target man presumably to hold the ball up and put himself about during hard away games, the lad has not been played.

David Edwards in my opinion has stepped up to the plate, Jarvis’s pace will always be a threat Doyle different class, Hennesey will develop into a great keeper but is not at this level yet, likewise Stearmen, Zubar looks half decent for the price paid, Kightly (as much as i like him) has found his/their level, the Champoinship, will continue to shout myself hoarse but changes need to be made otherwise we will have a ready made championship team

We all like Mick and like the players, he does his best.

The fact is that you don’t stay up because you’re a “nice guy.”

He has always been and will always be a Championship manager and if the Board had the necessary bottle, they would have recognised that, paid him off after QPR and planned for the new season with a Premiership class manager.

We finished top of the League and now look the worst of the 3 promoted by some distance. The answer is simple but everything seems far too cosy at Molineux!

London Wolf

In 40 years of watching the Wolves I have never been so humiliated. We were appalling, no spirit, no invention, no defence, no teamwork and no pride in the shirt. And how could anyone have pride in those awful shirts – can Messrs Morgan, Moxey and McCarthy tell me why we even had to change strips? We even had to change the away socks so that they would not clash with Chelsea’s.

Coming back to Clapham Junction on the train I overheard some Chelsea fans saying that was the worst ever display they had seen from a premier league team visiting Stamford Bridge and that Wolves were absolutely certain to be relegated.

How can anyone disagree?

Report abuse

Not entirely surprised to read many of the views expressed on here. It’s well known that some haven’t wanted MM as manager from the start – for reasons unbeknown to me (I thought the board were right not to give Ince the job). I guess those fans must have absolutely hated last season. There must have been a lot of pent up frustration around as Mick and the players proved them wrong week after week. Some have been itching to vent their spleen for a long time then and it comes as no surprise given our position and (some of) our results that it’s happening now . I know that it’s not the majority view on here but I believe wholeheartedly that we should stick with Mick. Despite my fondness for Graham Turner, Mick is, I think, the best manager we’ve had at the club since I’ve been going down the Wolves (1976). Changing him would be an act of madness. Even if we were to go down (and I’m not saying we will), I still think it would be mad to replace him. So you know where I’m coming from. And yet, this season seems strangely reminiscent to the one before last when it seemed that Mick didn’t know his best side. I believe that last season’s team would beat this one comfortably and would like to see it unleashed (injuries permitting) though, clearly, with the addition of Doyle. Attacking sides with wingers has to be our best bet doesn’t it? Sure, Jarvis lacks composure at times but still he takes the game to the opposition, gets past fullbacks and causes problems. (Yet still fans like to moan about him…) And how are Kites and SEB going to get better/fitter playing in fits and starts? I’m not sure why we narrowed the pitch and wonder whether we’re allowed to widen it now that we’re well in to a season. Anyone know? But anyway, we’re not Stoke and shouldn’t use them as a blueprint. We don’t know how to play a pressing game and shouldn’t even try. If we take the game to Blues, Bolton and Burnley and attack them with pace and conviction we can get results. So a plea to Mick – come on, if we’re going to fail, let’s at least have a go and be prepared to fail on our own terms. We are better-placed than we were last time we were up but we’re simply not making the most of what we do have at our disposal. And a plea to everyone else – come on, lighten up a bit – reading this stuff just makes us all feel worse. At the Arsenal game, and despite my obvious disappointment with the way things panned out, I could just about cope with the fact that Arsenal were 3 goals better than us. What I couldn’t cope with was the bloke next to me who moaned to his wife for the entire 80 minutes he was there.

Report abuse

Not an unexpected result as was the Arsenal match but we are now loosing any touch which we had in the early part of the season. How can Burnley be playing better than us when we took the Campionship by storm last year? I think we thought we were better than we actually are. We ended the seson playing rubbish but started this one playing well but with the continuing problem of failing to take what few chances we have made. We need to start scoring and we need to win the next three home games. Come on Mick and the team it’s time to stop promising and talking everything up – just start doing it on the pitch and it’s not too late. The fans will still be behind you but please start scoring!!

Report abuse

Man you know its bad when the Baggies aren’t posting on here, if they are feeling sorry for us we must be in all kinds of trouble. Didn’t expect a result other than what we got, what was disappointing was the manner of the performance, our wort in some time and it happened to come against the best side in the country maybe Europe. The next three games must yield a minimum of 7 points minimum otherwise I fear even if we are not dead and buried psychologically we will be. Blues and Burnley are in great form and we are not which makes these games even harder!!! And Bolton are never a soft touch. If we fail in the next 3 games change at the club may be a must if we are serious about staying and competing in this league.

The thought of sacking MM is laughable. Get a grip. You people make me angry.

Is it only me who thinks that we would probably be doing better if we had spent nothing and just kept the unity of the team from last season,…yes we would be prob in bottom 5, but id put money we would still have as many if not more points than we have.
Ive has a season ticket for 14yrs but have already decided im not renewing,…i feel totally betrayed by Moxey and Morgan with false promises,…and while im on a moan I also feel sorry for the people who bought the White away shirt, only for 1/3 of the way into the season for it to have been reduced to half price,…you ought to be able to get the difference refunded in my opinion!.

Yeah, lets keep McCarthy because no-one would want to come to this shambles in any case. All the ST holders were duped again by Moxey and his spin. Ah well, at least there is 25mill in the bank to look good…. play offs in 2011 ??

I will repeat myself I sated that MM and Conners were out of their depth in the Premiership when it comes to tactics. They play a system that is too static and we do not have any quality players except Doyle and FOLEY, but for some reason Foley has been bannished only to be replaced by Holford (a complete joke).

We have played with plenty of endeavour but have also not had the run of the ball and a little bit of luck which everyone needs.

It is a fact that we must get at least 7 points from the next three matches or we are doomed…. I think the managment should be sackes and bring in either Curbisly of Copple.

Biggest mistake not paying 8 mil for Huddlestone in the summer.

No comment except to say at least it wasn’t 9 – 1 phew!!

Again another change in system. Stoke play one way to their strengths. Our manager thinks he is a tactical genius. He is’nt. The worst thing about Saturdays performance was Chelsea did not break into a sweat. We have no quality it looks like a bleak winter.

On the basis of the mini league in which we operate and taking account of the teams played, we are 3 points behind the 37 points target to avoid relegation by my reckoning. 3 wins at home in our next 3 matches would only put us back on target (since my target is an average of 2 points against the teams in our mini league at home).

Applying this across the mini league sees the current standings as follows:

12th – Burnley +5
J13th – Blackburn and Wigan +4
15th – Birmingham +1
J16th – West Ham and Bolton 0
18th – Wolves -3
19th – Hull -5
20th – Portsmouth -7

MM says we now have to realise we’re in a relegation dogfight. By my calculations, we’ve not been out the bottom three since the home draw against Hull

After going 3-0 down in 25 mins I thought we did reasonably well to keep it to 4-0. Nevermind “we got mullered” what about the basic defensive errors?
We need to get a nice touch-line sofa to accomodate some of the players who prefer to spend thier time sitting on thier arses rather than playing football.

It was always going to be difficult to get a result against Arsenal and Chelsea. We can complain all we like about team selection, but if the players don’t do their job then winning games will be difficult.One win to kick start the season again, keep the faith. c’mon you wolves

Just write off the last two games, the young players have had a lesson that quality counts. The top 4 are so far ahead of everyone else its unreal. We drew with Stoke (away), Everton (away) and Villa at home which means we can compete with the best of the rest. Taking the points off the sides around us is vital in the next three home games. Once again the fans were magnificent and at the end of the game all you could hear is ‘we are wolves’. Expect Wigan and Bolton to thoroughly be dragged into it this season.

Let’s judge the team after this Sunday…

Now is not the time for feint hearts and whimpish comments. We were never going to win against Arsenal or Chelsea. Earlier we got draws with Everton and Villa and Stoke and with luck could have won two of them. These are the teams we must do well against.

Hennessay seemed at fault with two goals but the problem is in midfield where we need a Jimmy Bullard or a Lee Bowyer (or a Paul Ince).omeone who can get us to play as well as stop the opposition.

Sunday is a big day for us but please don’e expect us to win three home games on the trot. how many times has this happened at Molineux in the last century. Five points would be a real help but it’s up to Mick and the lads.

Keep the faith. magical Mick will prevail.

“We got mullered!” is stating the bleedin’ obvious Mick. Reading the comments here they seem to be borne out of a mixture of love for the club coupled with frustration.We have been here before Mick, and we didn’t like it then.The Wolves have to decide at board level if they are in the Prem to have a go, or go through the motions and keep an eye on balancing the books. Moon Face Mox loves his books as we know, I think he has far too much clout at the Mol, he is not a football man. What worries me is this, has Mr.Morgan got one eye on the turmoil at Liverpool, his self confessed first love. I feel given the op-portunity he would bail and join the scousers in a heart beat, and who would blame him? he is his own man. It’s time for a show of commitment in some other way than a statement issued through Mox. Mick’s hands are tied financially, he can only buy what he can afford, and if they are not good enough what is he to do? A new manager would have to work under the same constraints.Tactics? the shrewdest tactician can only work if his players can impliment them.

I hope Mr Moxey and our illustrious owner know how to use a results predictor. At the moment, unless we strengthen considerably, I can’t see us picking up many points at home in the New Year, let alone away!

Wolfmanmac – decent comments. I agree that the shrewdist tactician can only work if his players can impliment them. However, since all bar Craddock are players than MM brought in, and he’s been at the helm for three and a bit seasons now, he surely must be aware of the limitations (and strengths) of his squad and play to these. I don’t necessarily mean the last two games – but I’m not the only one who has questioned his tactics in the more relevant games this season

MM is on his way to get his trophy back from Derby,so all you happy clappers can Applaud him at the end of the season.
(That could be by end of Jan)
This man is way out of his depth.
He looked like a Maniac on BBC, never mind he will have his best ever signing back soon, just about sums him up.

I saw the whole game live in Australia at 3.00am Sunday morning our time as a passionate Wolves fan for many years.
Most has been said already on this site, much of which I agree with, and like so many, if we can get anything out of up coming games against Birmingham and Bolton, then we will be relegated….We did not lose with any dignity to Chelsea, we were a beaten team of battlers before we ran out at Stamford Bridge.

No one has mentioned on this site exactly why Kevin Doyle was not included in the squad against Chelsea, and if anyone posts that the poor lad was ‘heart broken’ after the two games he played for Northern Ireland, and was too ‘depressed’ to take the field, I will be sick on the spot.

Kevin Doyle was rested, poor lad, after two games against France in which he was on the losing side…Come on, the guy is supposed to be our best player, he cost us 6.5 million and I have little doubt receives upward of 25,000 a week, he is fully fit, and along with Jarvis and Edwards, could have salvaged some pride for the team to go into the Birmingham game next week. But no, we played the same team for most of the 90 minutes, bringing on Kightly and Keough minutes before the end…we ignored Milijas and the ‘Hoff’ again.

If I was the Manager, ( I would have fallen on my sword by now ) at least at Chelsea…I would have played Doyle, brought on Keogh much earlier who seems to be the only Wolves player who understands Doyles style of play, and I would have brought on Milijas early, and given the ‘Hoff’ 30 minutes in the second half, as nobody really knows what he can do. I would rest Hennersey for Carle next week.

Three players we should be looking at as far as their future at Wolves is concerned are Halford, Ebanks ( Will never make it in the Premiership) and Kightly, who has been a wonderful player in the Championship, since his injuries, I believe is finished,,,he was an embarrasment in the past few games.

But, like the rest of you, McCarthy is going to lead up back to the Championship, he lacks the quality of most of the other Managers, and I would be looking at the assistant managers of some of the top Premiership Clubs, offering and paying them for a ‘baptisum of fire’ to save Wolves from the drop.

I’m very concerned with this performance, chelsea or not. These players are simply not adapting to prem football. They are very naive,slow, and paid chelsea far too much respect. The formation and team selected was unusual.I would have like to see Maeirhoffer up front, but Jarvis did ok.
If you dont close down the oppositon, allow free headers from corners, give the ball away in midfield, you will lose to ALL of the other prem sides. the only positives was that it was only 4 nil and that we created 4 half decent chances, 3 of which fell to Edwards who showed how poor he is in front of goal. SEB had a good chance but headed straight at the keeper.
As I said a few weeks ago, Hennesey does not command his area. He was a fault for the first goal against arsenal, and at fault for two goals this weekend.Mick needs to consider dropping him for Hanneman who might not be a better keeper all round, but has more experience. He should also consider playing Ikeme.

No signings in Jan = No Premiership in Aug

SEB and Kights need start performing and a new back 4 may well be the only solution for this level.

No more young and hungry either, what the hell is so difficult to understand about needing experience mick.

Thank feck for Jarvis, Wayne, Doyle and Henry all rising to the challenge. Keep it up lads.
