to be honest mick that is a stupid comment to make, we are in the premier league and we need premier league players, the foreign signings you have made have barely featured and you constantly plat players out of position.

I believe you could and should have pushed moxey and morgan more and signed better players, you have a great eye for a bargain but we need players you have played 150-200 times at least in this league who know whats its all about. Sort it out

Stop making excuses, get on with the job at hand. Theres too much of this cheap talk about how we have got the right players and the next game is massive and a must win. Time to shut up and get on with it because if you dont do anything but win on Saturday you’ll have all day to talk this drivel because you’ll out of a job.

How can he be happy with the players that he got in the summer whilst the team is 2nd from bottom in the league with 2 wins from 14 games. And yet not a word from either Moxey or Morgan.

Well smell the coffee wolves fans, MM will be here for the whole season and it will be a stroke of luck for wolves to win another game between now and january.

Mick why dont you just leave your job. You are out of your depth and the board must surely realise this.

Morgan,You are going to lose season ticket bums on seats next year if you dont stick to your word and get the right type of player in, not some muppet from the divisions below.

Simple changes needed.
1. Stop playing players out of position.
2. Edwards should not be playing. He is simply not good enough at ths level.
3. PLAY THE SERB. Granted he may have been lazy in some games but he has clearly got class. Lets not forgot that he is a regular in a serbian international team who stormed their way to the World Cup. I personally think that he has too much class for our team, nobody seems to be on the same wave length as him.We are crying out for creativity!!!!

Lets get behind the team,istory has shown us that our negativity will et us nowhere!!!

Mick McCarthy has done all he can for the Wolves- Thank you! But now it is time to move on as we need a Premiership manager with experience to keep us up. Right now the players have no confidence and as you keep playing a different team each week have no idea of what is going on. We are not Chelsea who can rotate players as even their 2nd string are full of world class players with bundles of experince. We are doomed unless we get rid of MM. PLEASE GO!

Our promotion required premiership planning, so i`d ask what exactly was the strategy behind our summer purchases. Did we buy players to strengthen our weakest positions, and/or to build on our preferred style and system of play etc etc..oh and then why buy the players who MM won`t give a game to??
Apart from Doyle last Sunday MM put out a championship team and formation that leaked far too many goals last year. In reality we play 4-2-4 with isolated wide men, and already outnumbered in midfield, we have Edwards pushing on to support the front men leaving Henry on his own against 2 or 3 opposition midfielders. It has only looked ok this season when we have played Castillo holding the midfield to protect our back four. Why play wingers anyway with no tall front men – oh yes we have one but he can`t get a game. Why bother with long throws whe`n we can only do so when our centre halves have run 60 yards to join in – we don`t have 4 or 5 six footers like Stoke.
MM has no choice now to say he is happy with the summer buying, as a result of the spend on new players we are second from bottom, with the second worse goal difference, and did not buy any central defenders when it was obvious we had defensive issues with our players and formation despite our promotion last year.
Like the song says Mr Morgan – silence is golden.

I am sick to death as well, reading about the drivel spewed out by so called wolves fans who have not got the nerve to support the club through thick and thin, I bet you were all there in the bad day’s eh! that’s why we nearly went under and only had crowds of 2,000+,
we are all frustrated and upset,but we don’t all come out shouting for the manager’s head every time we lose! you don’t have a license to being the “only ones” who care, that’s why we are were we are today because in the past muppets like you have called for the managers head and those at the mol have not been strong enough to stick to their guns and support the manager? instead they have listened to the few and got rid, I only hope the present board are stronger, after all said and done if you don’t like it you know were to go and we will be a better club for it.

Accept that Mick will get maximum from squad availalable, but the fact is that the “maximum” will get us relegated, we (a) are simply not good enough and (b) tactically inept, sorry to say this but the players didn’t seem to want to know on Sunday, did that show a lack of confidence in our tactics or simply was it a lack of self belief, or god forbid both!!

Mick’s words are merely to defend his players, I am sure deep down he wishes he did things differently. Though I do believe he has not made a bad signing, as more would should with experience alongside them. he has just made too many signings that still need to prove they can really play at this level. I am sure most would have been happy with the signings as they came in, it’s just that extra lack of quality here and there that as let us down.

Berra – Only played regular football in Scotland, not enough english football experiance alone.

Mancienne – Never played regular first team Professional football in his life.

Stearman – Signed from Div 2 Leicester 18 months ago, now expected to play in Prem.

Foley – Erm, anyone seen our player of the year recently??

Craddock – at 34 he is now playing regular Premiership football within a make-shift 4 man defence that comprises of more centre halves than has ever been witnessed at a professional football club. A Bionic miracle and our joint top goal scorer.

Zubar – No english experiance, so lets make things easy for him and play him out of position.

I think the most interesting stat is that Wolves were the no.4 highest spender in the summer and we are in exactly the same position at this stage as we were in 2003 under Dave Jones who had no money to spend in the summer.

I think MM has got the Jan window to get some signings in or he will be gone. The only Prem quality players we have now are Doyle and possibly Milijas, Zubar and Jarvis.

The back 4 needs to go, Craddock and Berra are never going to cut it at this level. Name me some SPL defenders that came to EPL and did really well? None.

57 / Super Lippi

I have seen some post’s on here over the last few days, but that one takes the… biscuit shall we say.

Defeat Sat and I want MM to go too, but some of the players you named there shouldn’t of been named (and the others for the reasons that you did!)

Hennessey – The Wales number 1 who has played 100 first team games for Wolves and over 20 first team caps for Wales.

Mancienne – Over 80 first team games at Championship level..

Stearman – The player we beat of premiership clubs for, played 150 first team games at Championship level (as for being signed from League 1 Leicester…. he never played for them in that league, they were relegated and we signed him!!!) So at that point they were Championship Leicester!!

I take it you mean lack of “Premiership” experience with these…. ??

Zubar out of position…. isn’t he actually a right back… wasn’t that where we WERE playing him!

The section of the team you were going to start on is the position of worry. Midfield!

We don’t provide cover for the back four, we don’t create (leaving the defence to lump long balls forward) we don’t pressure the opposition as did most of last season and certain games this season.

All in all, I think the players confidence has hit rock bottom, I think MM has lost certain players in the dressing room for changing the team too regular and dropping players without good cause. Also his insistence to stick with players who are not up to scratch.

His over reliance on a certain few (Kightly, Doyle and Blake) has back fired, 1 won’t be fully fit for the season, 1 obviously can’t hack it and the other is starved of any good service.

The defence is the same defence who conceded so many last season, yet our expansive game has gone, meaning we still concede and now dont look like we will score either.

This is where the Prem experience is crucial, players who lose 3-4 games in a row and know how to come back from it. In 3-4 years of us having the likes of Jarvis, Kightly, Henno, Blake etc you think about it, these players have been used to winning 70% of there games (Championship I know, but a win is a win at any level)

Now they have to get used to being 2nd best, losing more than you win or draw. This is where I think MM has let us down, these players need true guidance at this stage and who do we have to turn too….. I can’t name 1! The only one that comes to mind is Craddock who has been relegated in his 2 attempts.

I agree with most, I will give my full backing on Sat for the team and for the club. I will sing with everyone else in hope rather than in belief.

I hope MM can do it, I just don’t believe he will.

For me though, defeat on Saturday has to be the end. To much emphasis was put on these games from management. Blues took away there pressure by going to Anfield believing they could win and got something out of the game.

Defeat and its time to move on in search of a new man, failure to get someone new in at that stage and I fear the worst for us, I really do.

I feel totally vindicated with my comments at the start of the season MM is not the Manager we should have in the Premiership. His signings in the main have been a joke Halford being a prime example. Castillo, Milijas, Maeirhofer and Surman should be given a run out not just sit warming the bench. Castillo, Milijas played together at Red Star for two years yet are being kept out of the side by Edwards come on wake up and smell the coffee. Sunday was a joke players substituted after 30 minutes mind you he wouldnt be in my starting 20 anyway long throw nothing else.

MM has to go now but who would take the job we are doomed anyway, I am sick of hearing Super Mick ang on about why its all gone wrong the man is not up to the job and his history in Management proves the point plus are the current back room team any good me thinks not. He has had his chance and failed: suggestions for replacement:
Curbishley and his old Charlton back room team,
Grayson from Leeds or Southgate yes I said Southgate.

The day on Sunday was the flatest day of the season both on and off the pitch MM OUT NOW!!!

Report abuse

I’m fed up of hearing the cheap excuse of ‘lack of premier league experience’, how much prem experience have Burnley got? There have been previous teams in the past who have stayed up with virtually their championship team like the first Wigan team, West Ham, think about the their team that played Liverpool in the FA cup final a few years back, how many of their players at the time had played in the premier league before, players like Anton Ferdinand, Nigel Reo-Coker, Matthew Etherington and even Marlon Harewood!

I can’t defend that shocking performance on Sunday however they have shown far better than that this season. I do still think there’s quality in this squad but there are some players who don’t look like cutting it, Halford being the first one, what a waste of 2 million quid, Ebanks-Blake lacks the class at the moment for this level, I didn’t see the point of the signing of Maierhofer, and likewise Surman.

While Doyle has been the best of the new bunch I still think Milijas has quality and he needs a run in the side, Zubar looks decent and if Castillo can produce his debut game form more consistently then he will be good player for us. For me its extremely bad coaching on the training field, poor motivation and bad tactics, our lads look confused and scared of Birmingham so what was the plan Mick? What on earth did you say to the players?

We can also debate whether the midfield would work better with Milijas and Edwards who I think has got the making of good box to box midfielder, why can’t we have two central midfielders who can defend and attack. Karl Henry is not a bad player as such but he only can play one role and that’s been the one who tidies up in the midfield going forward he doesn’t bring enough to the team and as captain he disappeared on Sunday.

The back four does have some good/decent defenders, Craddock has done better what I thought he would likewise Berra, Stearman has been excellent, Mancienne again still has quality but he is not full back, and of course Stearman can do right back but not the left. Ward is not a favourite of mine but he does bring balance to the side.

Wayne Hennessey has been excellent and after his first really bad game of season he gets dropped, Hahneman didn’t put a foot wrong on Sunday but still it doesn’t show great faith by the manger on Hennessey especially when it was Chelsea of course we are going to concede to a class side like Chelsea. Dropping our number 1 I think was a worse decision in my opinion.

How Mick has come across in TV interviews in the past, he seems to be a laid back type of guy which might be good sometimes but maybe it’s the atmosphere at the training ground, is too laid back? Do the players work on passing, movement off the ball, their technique and assume one of the most important element is too give players confidence make them believe in their own ability.

Can Mick do that in this League? Well in his previous jobs the type of football that has been described is that of workmanlike, we did see some good football last season but the second half of the season it was more workmanlike, now in this league that standard doesn’t cut it, I do think our players capable of reaching 17th however I can’t really see Mick getting the best of the current crop of players.

We have spent the most money out of the three promoted clubs and the league table doesn’t lie, we are not doomed yet however things don’t improve quickly starting against Bolton then its time for the three Ms to take reasonability. We fans have been doing our part so the club better start putting their act together.

Some questions for them to answer:

1. Explain the reasons Mick for cutting width of the pitch down, ‘If it worked for Stoke it might work for us’ that doesn’t give the impression of whole lot of thinking went behind the decision.
2. Why was Sam Vokes sent out loan when he is probably our second most talented striker, in my opinion?
3. This one is for Jez and Steve Morgan, why did you guys lie about been competitive (not making the numbers up) and not making the same mistakes of last time, fans I think would of respected you two if didn’t do all the spin and fail to produce the promise in the transfer market. Be more upfront in the future and you also failed Mick on that one.
(Actually we all know the reasons don’t we)
4. Mick would you own up to your mistakes for once? That can go for Morgan and the fat controller as well.
5. Then also, Mick, tell your players to start doing ‘the walk’ than doing ‘the talk’. It’s made some crap articles in the Express and Star.

Final note I don’t think they will do anything to resolve the issues, because the culture of the club is too make profit and as long the balance sheets look good there won’t be any changes of staff in near future unless things really get embarrassing for Mr Morgan like doing ‘a Derby’.

20 – Totally agree, the team we’re playing is too negative, two holding midfielders, centre halfs at full back and two stoppers in the centre!

I’d like to see zubar in the centre of defence and foley and ward in the full back positions to give us balance. milijas in the centre to take some of the creative responsibility off jarvis, he’s the only attacking midfielder in most games as henry, edwards and halford are all defensive so teams just double up on him and we then have no creativity at all. May be the perfect time to bring back keogh aswel, although he is terrible in front of goal, doyle and ebanks are too static together and we lack a lot of movement upfront. I don’t feel doyle has set the world alight either but I think he just edges ebanks at the moment, hopefully he’ll get some fitness and confidence in the reserves and coming off the bench as I do still feel he can do it at this level, he’s a goalscorer and I think even bully would struggle with the service our midfield provides!

As one of the ‘cretins’ from a far I’m pretty insulted by your comments. I for one have done my time. I was there for the 2000+ crowds. I had 23 consecutive season tickets from 1980-2006, and splashed out on 4 season tickets for my wife until to 2006. They seemed happy enough to take my ‘hard cash’ support back then. I was even there away to Lincoln when the Wolves had already been mathamatically relegated into the 4th division.

So are you saying us cretin’s can only post comments if we agree with your point of view, or are we not supposed to comment at all.

Or do we need to start with a disclaimer before commenting…

DearMM,
we dont have the quality in the squad,or leadership. its only Melijas who can regularly pass forward, control and put in a good cross, and you dont play him that often. none of the strikers look a goal threat apart from Doyle.Our defence is not coping with the movement and pace of top class strikers.so how good is your squad?

Mick I’m really concerned about the mental toughness of your players and the lack of leadership in your team. We lose to chelsea, and arsenal and they start feelin sorry for themselves and then let down 20,000 fans.

You place great emphasis on monitoring performance in training,so why didnt you notice that some of your players were not mentally up for the brum match and drop them?

When you say your happy with your squad, tell me this.
How come blackburn who lost 6-2 to arsenal won their nxt game 3-2. they lost 5nil to chelsea and then beat portmouth 3-1 nxt game.

As Mandy Rice Davies once famously said,’HE WOULD SAY THAT WOULDN’T HE’.It is quality that we are lacking forget all this rubbish about experience.We do not have enough Premier League quality.The club are trying to spin this talk of us needing experience so that they can get some cheap dead wood in Jan.It should be obvious to everybody what we are lacking.Didn’t people notice the pace and skill of Benetiz on Sunday.How much Premier experiece did he have before Brum signed him. We have wasted money on £2M players who are not good enough.Yet more Moxey follies.

For me the main criticisms of Mick are these:-

1. He has never known which is his best team (even when winning the Championship)

2. He still doesn’t. And Worse still, he now has a crop of new players to swap and change. All these permutations could take Mick 3 more seasons to sort out.

3. He believes in “honesty” in players above “quality”. The few quality players we have need match fitness but rarely get any game time.

4. Mick does not tend to give players who deserve a chance a consistent run in the team but tends to revert to type by picking the tried and tested honest pro. These are the players who give gut busting performances on demand but lack the genuine ability needed to influence games. We will never create a team of potential match winners with this philosophy.

Mick suprised me when he got us promoted, and all credit to him for doing it, but I have never truly believed he is a man for the next level. My dad was calling Radio WM for his head last year when we were top of the league and he did have a fair point.

My main grip, though, is this:-

When we got promoted the “Premiership plan” was to buy in a bunch of older tried and tested Premiership players. The club said this was essential for premiership survival, but we did not get any of those payers in. Why? Probably because their wage demands were too high, but that is the price you pay for survival isn’t it? So, who do we blame? Moxey? I think the club needs to come clan about its “plan” and what it is really doing. If the aim is to bounce up and down for a few seasons rather than give it a proper go this season then please tell us that. But that message doesn’t sell season tickets. My expectation, was fuelled by statements from the club, and made me think we were more than a yo yo club. Something needs to be said by the club very quicky, you can not hoodwink the fans for long ……………………….

119. BenBristol – I completely disagree mate. The reason we did not get Michael Owen, Richard Dunne, Sami Hypia is because they went to Manchester Utd, Villa and a Bayern Leverkusen in EUROPE, money probably had a factor but these players want to play for top clubs, we showed ambition by going for them. Money played a factor for smaller name players such as Scott Dann who chose us over Blues and everything was agreed he turned up for a medical and blues called his agent and offered him 6k more A WEEK than both clubs did originally. Is a player from Coventry big enough to dictate a deal to us? NO. Hence why we didnt match it.

Laughingwolf – there is still no excuse for not sticking to the correct and well publicised paln of bringing in prem experience – we need to know why this did not happen. Jan will be too late and Mick doesn’t know who to play where and when, without confusing him with more options.
I think Moxey and Mick are to blame for this shambles and it’s an insult that Mick can make the comments he has. An example to empahsise Ben Bristols point is the issuing of Colins a 4 year contract – in Micks words to prevent Prem Clubs getting him. It’s time for Mick and Moxey to go.

10) You are derided because you are a negative so called supporter of the club who has probably only been going to games for the last few years. Zubar, Milijas and Doyle are good enough and Surman is one for the future!
We are not dead and buried yet but could be soon. We need to change the team and must spend in January whatever.

Get a backbone. This is a relatively weak premier league. I can still see us finishing above 3 out of Pompey, Bolton, Blackburn, West Ham, Burnley, Hull, Wigan ,Everton, Birmingham … BUT we must restore confidence soon, starting with Bolton.

How much more of this are we going to take ???

No wonder the last 8 storys heve not allowed us to comment… Got Dave Edwards talking tactics…. is he the manager ???

Got Moxey pretending he can’t sleep – try counting your money fatty

Got thick mick saying everyone benefitted from selling Mark Davies… err… how did wolves benefit apart from more money in the bank for Morgan ??

As for the Sylvan scoring story – yeah… in a cake shop – never seen a fatter striker at this level – disgrace.

We were promised quality players and that we wouldn’t do an albion – at least they went down with thier dignity intact – I’d settle for that right now.

Been a STH for 15 years – but this is my last one with this lot in charge…. get rid or lose us !!!

who at wolves has more premier experience than most? MM thats who and he has still only managed to win 1 home game!!! The basis of a good team is a settled team … we haven’t played the same side twice! letting your side take thrashings even to arsenal and chelsea is great for moral! we are now in a relegation battle … surely thats been the case from day one. I won’t rant and rave at the players, it’s the mad rantings from the touch line of man who’s out of his depth and too self obsessed to realise it, that are half the problem, the players are only following orders. mm picks the side, chooses the tactics, carries the can.

Many Thanks for the Ingrish lesson there Brerton

Here’s a few more.. Knockers Knock, Plonkers Plonk, and Wolverhampton Wanderers Fans “Wander” what happenned to all the promises made at the end of last season.

They “Wander” where the premiership experience went, when Brum seemed to have much less trouble pinning down players.

They “Wander” why we have a massivley different starting line up just about every game

They “Wander” why Curbishley can motivate his (Less talented) side to greatness when all Mick can do is fap about on the touchline

They “Wander” why we dont have any dedicated players in positions. Its a damn melee out there.

They “Wander” if this transfer is going to be any different to last.. actually, no, they dont wonder at all

Its frustration brerton that’s all it is, and at the moment very few have faith in mick mccarthy and i dont blame them.

For the game on Saturday.

1. Play actual full backs, not centre halves. Even Ward.
2. Milijas has to come in for Edwards. He made a marked impact on Sunday
3. SEB needs a rest. Keough has to come back in

Let’s face it, it can’t get any worse than the performance on Sunday.

Should we sack MM? No. Consistancy always pays off in the end. Mick’s first year was a revelation. The 2nd year, Wolves fans were calling for his head, as we expected to at least equal the year before. The board stuck with MM and the 3rd year we won the league (fairly easily in the end). I’m glad the board stuck with MM then, and i hope they do now.

We are having a poor run of form, and we are low on confidence. All the real fans on here have seen how well a MM Wolves team can play. We just aren’t there at the moment. But we will be, and we won’t go down.

Keep the faith.

Brereton Wolf. A well argued post with pleny of logic.I personally have not called for Mick to go,but you must admit
historically a change of manager can have a motivating effect ,which has improved fortunes at lots of clubs including Wolves;remember John Barnwell.Also it would be a strange state of affairs if most fans are not concerned at the present set of circumstances. Relegation this season will mean four relegations out of our last four seasons in top flight football.As a Wolves fan of nearly 50 years,I am ashamed of such a record,and yes I went to one of the games against Chorley.In those days we had nothing but now they are wasting opportunities.
