McCarthy also hailed the displays of players who have come into the team recently, such as Kevin Foley, Andrew Surman and Michael Mancienne.

“We’ve had some terrific performances, such as Foley in that midfield role against Liverpool and Manchester City, when Surman and Mancienne played very well. It’s no fluke – they can play and do well.”

Although I never expected anything against teams like Liverpool or Man City; the worrying part is the failure to score upfront – People say that Mairhoffer has’nt set the world alight; but is he worse than Big Chris at holding the ball up/ first touch? and winning vital headers?

Does Ebanks Blake need too many touches to get in a shot – Is this down to coaching or the player’s own abillity?

Imv we badly need 3 to 5 Prem Proven Players and my fear is that the 3 M’s are afraid to ‘rock the boat’ with players wages – hence we have gone for the players we have

Gardner is rumoured to be on his way to Blues for 3.5m according to SSN – and Wolves have been outbid again

Can we manage the squad’s wages/ pay less and still achieve Prem status or are we making it more difficult for us to stay up by paying way below most teams in the Prem???

NB* You only get what you pay for!

Up the Wolves!

Is this a hint that we are not going to make as many signings as we hope?

Oh ! for gods sake McCarthy….Kightly, while on the few occasions he played last season, and the couple of appearences he has made in the ‘big time’….he is just not good enough in this grade, he is finished, he is in fact an injury prone ‘dead parrot’ you would do him a favour in sending him out to a 2nd or 3rd tear club.
As for Edwards, nor bad on his day, but inconsistant, his future for me would be a ‘bench player’.

With these stupid comments and quotes being published in your name, its clear. even to ‘blind freddy’ that Morgan has seen the rubbish you signed with the money he gave you at the beginning of the season, and has frozen further funds to you in the January window.

I do feel a little sorry for you, a complete misfit in a team destined for the drop.

In other words this is the classic shorthand for forget any signings in Jamuary everyone, this is what we are stuck with!

It’s obvious we are still short of a couple of decent midfielders and a better quality forward to compliment Doyle. Sorry Sylvan but you obviously aren’t up to this level and we are desperately short of goals.

I know we wolves fans are fickle but some of the negativity coming out of you lot makes me laugh, any three of the bottom ten can go down so were still in their fighting. Any of you wolves fans that are bored with all the negativity on these pages you should read the posts on the bbc 606 web pages as the bloggers on there are a lot more positive and i have to say more realistic. I dont think i,ve read a post that slags Mick off or the team for that matter. Good luck in the F.A cup on sunday boys..

Kites will not make an impact this season he hasnt had enough prem time and Dave Edwards is simply not good enough,if McCarthy is hanging his hat on these two were doomed.

I tend to agree with most comments here. I think our biggest problem though is that we really do not look like scoring from free play. Players seem to lack confidence and panic when they need to produce a quality ball or finish to score. Perhaps this will improve with time, but I tend to agree with #1 that you get what money buys. Look at Doyle, clearly our best player by a mile, and let’s face it, he cost more than anyone else. They need to splash some similar money to strengthen, if not now, then in summer if we stay up. They can’t keep playing every game like a cup final just to hope to grind out a draw. They’ll burn out sooner or later.

I can feel me blood pressure rising with afew of these comments, or was it that third pie I had with me chips, get down ya bugger.
I reckon we’re staying up with our current squad, though with a couple of quality signings we could push on up to mid-table. Alot will depend on the activities of the other clubs. Hopefully the likes of Pimpey and the ‘Ommers will sell players, dooming themselves to relegation. And if Buurrnley lose Coyle to the Boltons I think you can see the 3 to drop.

We desperately need a premiership quality CH, but I wouldn’t count on MM finding him! He’s signed seven since he’s been at Molineux: Collins (gone), Ward (gone), Shackell (discarded – out on loan), Stearman (now used at full back), Berra (doing OK, nothing special), Zubar (yet to play CH) and Mancienne (now used in midfield).

MM likes Edwards because, he “puts a shift in” and gets in the box where he takes up decent positions. the trouble is he is an average midfielder and not a finisher and his shooting so far has been awful. I have to say I prefer Mancienne to Edwards anyday.. kightly still has it all to prove a this level,and hasnt looked affective in any game i’ve seen. Keogh has always been shotshy and cant see him adding much to the one gaol scored, but i was impressed with his performances in our early games. MM if your really keen on staying up it would be the postions that these 3 operate in that you look to strenghthen in the transfer market as well as in defence.

Of the three injured, all of them are good enough. Keogh was great at the start and our best player. Edwards has been fantastic and Kites has been out injured.

Ward is looking a fine player at left back too! Elokobi isn’t good enough, YET.

I hope we get a winger and maybe a centre back.

Now the heart of the team is pumping I fully expect the goals to start flowing. You cannot have one without the other…

Even without a signing we will survive. For me Mancienne playing in midfield has been an early acquisition!

(2) Collins??? god ur a good fan arent you lol.
Kightly is good enough when fully fit and is better than anyone else we have on the wing. That said i think Surman is also good enough if he is given the chance. Edwards bench player i agree.

What retards do we have as wolves fans! Mcclean? god have u seen him play this season? he is useless and hardly a championship player let alone premiership, beckford is unproven too. Ebanks was top championship scorer last 2 years and hes not douing ote so its clear we need Proven Prem quality!! nothing less!!

How negative most of you are. We won`t getting any big money signings in not because the 3 M`s don`t have ambition but because promoted teams will always struggle to attract the better players until thet are established. the priority is to survive and build year on year. Get behind Mick – a good honest man who deserves better than the constant snipes of a few people on here.
