irrespective of outcome this was a laboured performance. Hardly anyone emerges with credit.

More specifically Jones’ contribution to team work-where was it? Berra had lead boots; the practice of hoof ball to the forwards from the defence in the round was simply too predictable.

All, in all, shades of early last season. Desperate for pace in this team and Edwards was way off it, today.

Report abuse

Edwards and Foley were both poor. I thought as soon as Ward went over the threat down the left was stopped by Big George.

Robbed today but it never helps when you’ve got a manager that plays his favourites over and over again.

This was a championship team with three decent players in it.. I fear the worst

Remember the good old days
When we had more points than games played?

Unfortunate outcome deserved better.However yet again defenders ball watching at crucial times too much space given allowing the cross to come over.How many more times will it be said Ward is not and never will be a left back,taken to the cleaners yet again.Team performed better once he was off.
It is becoming blatantly obvious to most observers that whilst we have a team of good honest pro’s who give their all for the cause effort cannot compete with ability over 90 minutes.Unless MM comes to terms with this fact and ditches the deadwood,Ward,Foley,Craddock Berra etc then the goals against column is going to become our nemesis.Thankfully the season is still young but 2 points from 15 is not a good start.Wigan a must win game now and a chance to get this season back on track.

I’m afraid to say it, but we are going down,our midfield is rubbish, berra,foley,ward,edwards are not premier league footballers, ok we have some injuries but we will be bottom by the time they are fit.

Report abuse

so then Happy Clappers and Mick lovers, how are you going to defend our tactical genius this week?

Yet again a goal is conceded in no small part to the undroppable Wardy not being a left back.

Despite spending pretty much £40m, 8 of the 10 outfield starters were with us in the Championship.

And please explain why he insisted on going one up front second half and playing our new record signing goalscoring centre forward on the right of midfield ?

Unless there is a change, we can all forget about our Premiership status and the redevelopment of Molineux.

Report abuse

Most telling moment for me was after we equalised, Villa hadn’t done anything second half and were there for the taking……and we just kept playing the same old ponderous and predictable way!

There is no pace in this side – Jarvis apart – and we will get torn apart by any team that runs at us.

Let’s get ready for the “We were unlucky” quotes which will mask the truth that we have a side full of workers but no speed and very little creativity!

And could someone explain how we lost out on Jerome Thomas…..yet another potential diamond slips through our grasp!

looked at the team sheet and saw edwards, ward on it and I knew it was going to be tough today.
Ward had a nightmare against albrighton and failed to cut out the cross for the first goal but it was jones who lost the ball in midfield that really caused the goal. Good timing ward got Ko’d and elokobi came on,cos after that albrighton never got a kick and was subbed. Edwards was abysmal his passing was poor and he kept runnin backwards with the ball.We showed a lot to get back in the game and played well 2nd half, but we rarely score more than one goal and this is a real problem.MM is responsible for the team selection and tactics, but its not his fault that berra and 2 other defenders give Heskey a free header and he scores. look at the replay and see Berra ball watching instead of watching and putting in a real challenge to stop heskey. We deserved a draw here and against fulham but poor defending is really costing us. We really need zubar back,and an attacking player on the left.Last season we benefitted from other teams around us losing when we did, but thats not going to happen this season as there arnt any poor teams in the league.

Some managers have the ability to take ordinary footballers and turn them into members of a good, even successful, footballing team. I don´t think this is the case with the current manager at Wolves today.
How many players has he bought who still sit on the bench or don´t even get that far, while a handful of no-no´s play(sic) in his team weak in weak out?
I really do hope Steve Morgan is considering his options of how this club can maintain its position in the top flight because it certainly won´t happen with the present managers lack of ability in the transfer market, to say nothing of his tactical awareness at this level.
It´s all very well having two good strikers but not much use if there´s precious little creativity coming from the back. Apart from the hard working Jody Craddock and a quality goalkeaper, have Wolves got a seriously good defender of Prem quality?

Report abuse

Lots of effort, but a lack of quality when we needed it. I have no idea how Edwards gets in the team before others. Too much hoofing long balls, little service to Doyle and Fletcher who did their bests. Jones dwells on the ball too much, hence the first goal.
Need Zubar, Guedioura, Hunt (I hope he’s up to it), etc, not the same whole lot who are clearly not up to it.

WOLVES CAN COPE WITH EMILE HESKEY, Said MM. Is that them doing it in the banner photo then?

Today I thought the team we put out with the exception of jarvis and craddock was at best mid championship level in the first half , and although we did improve after the break. if this is what we class as our best we are in for a major relegation relegation battle this season as this squad is simply not the quality of players we require for the premier maybe the championship but not up for the battle of the premier unfortunately for us wolves fans even with players like kightly , Hunt and others who are to return .we’ve got championship players quality and nothing better.

GREAT GAME, AWFUL RESULT. . . i am sure, like i am sure MM is, that our day will come when we get these as wins. i never neg about wolves, as i trust in MM, but i have some questions and points, which i am sure MM has answered in his own mind. . . .
why are we not playing Milijas, why did we not play Guedioura from the start?
i wilkl say this though, if the result was different, then we would all be congratulating MM, but unf it was not so there is alot of neg. none-the-less, i would have loved to have seen some Milijas. Big G. was awesome though, i think he deserves chance in firstteam. Elacobi did very well, he stopped the threat from the right flank, which was ever so present. Edwards – well, 1 game, but, we lacked threat from the naturally strongest footballing flank – the right side. Nothing feeded from there all night, not even a single cross that i can remember.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST – strikers – i feel for them both, they work so hard. if they have no midfield feediong them, what can they do? They have to do the work themselves, reduced to long shots (most of the time) as they dont have the service due to the lack of it from the flanks. . . .
that said, i am always wolves all the way and pray to the god of football, that on another day, or someday soon, he can favour us. ..

Report abuse

Absolutely gutted that we appear to have thrown away another point in the closing minutes of a game.

It’s all very well for MM to say that we are playing and competing well, putting in a shift blah blah blah (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!), but at the end of the day football is a results business – we ain’t getting them at the moment and the buck stops with MM!

We appear to lack quality in the middle of the park, Jarvis excluded, and when was the last time we kept a clean sheet for crying out loud? MM said when the transfer window closed that he was happy with the squad and so I can only conclude from this that he thought it would be good enough to stay up following the addition of the summer purchases? So what the hell is going wrong MM, ‘cos at the moment things ain’t looking great from my perspective?

All very depressing and the next 2 fixtures are already looking like 6 pointers as the clubs around are all now starting to pick up points.

My only consolation tonight is that I do not live in the West Mids and so am unlikely to encounter any smug stripey inbreds (following their excellent win at the Emirates) or Brummies in the aftermath of this weekend’s results.

Forever Wolves….. no matter how hard they make it!

Report abuse

I am seriously worried now. This team is not capable of keeping a clean sheet. Mouyokolo must be given a go when he is fully fit. This time last season, nobody would have said we would miss Zubar this badly, but we do. I see many players who are very good workers when we don’t have the ball, but poor when we have possession. Hunt is going to be such a key player for us when attacking. Jarvis seems to be carrying the attacking threat alone. The tough part is we seem worse than last season. I am trying very hard to find positives, but so far I can’t. Six points from the next two games is now essential.

Report abuse

We looked much better when we switched to 4 3 3 after half time. Ward Berra and Foley should be replaced by Elokobi Moyokolo and Zubar giving us some much needed pace and strength at the back but the midfield is shocking and we didn’t strengthen this department in the summer. Too many long ball made it far to easy for Collins and Cueller. Unless we make changes we are going down there are no Potsmouths and Hulls to save us this season.

Have to agree with next two games being must win.If we lose these games we will almost certainly find ourselves with 5 points from 12 games and if that’s the case we can kiss the prem and those ground developments goodbye!

Can someone tell me what Edwards does for the team and i’m now conviced that aliens do exist because Foley from two years ago has definitely been abducted and replaced with a zombie clone!

Both fullbacks were culpable for the goals. Somebody stopped the music and Foley was playing musical statues for the first with Downing running past him to get to the ball and Elokobi just let Heskey go for the second giving Berra no chance because Heskey had a run at it!

How ironic that our so called manager was a defender by trade and yet our defence(Craddock excluded) looks absolutely clueless. Until MM gets the back sorted out we are never going to win a game in this division because we are not full of goals but we are certainly full of holes!

What grieves me most is I look at what the albion did this weekend and I know in my heart of hearts that we could not do that and as a lifelong Wolves fan – THAT HURTS!

I think you Wolves do yourselves an injustice, for long periods in that game you had the upper hand, the fact that you didnt score another couple of goals was down to our defence and up until the Heskey goal, we never looked like adding another.
I think English Exile is being a bit harsh on Berra, that was one hell of a cross to deal with and irrispective of what you may think of Heskey, he took the goal well.
If that had been a goal for Wolves, I think E.E would be telling us what a great goal it was.

Report abuse

foley and Berra both fast asleep for their 2 goals. Berra said in the E & S ,that we concede sloppy goals, due to lack of concentration, and i myself switch off ,we seem to do it in the last few minutes? he not kidding is he. I see we failed to fill the ground AGAIN, so why do we need to spend millions on a new one, (keep your hand off that ‘Start Button’Mr Morgan). Surely Mr Morgan would be better off spending it on Top PL players not second-rater’s, as for Dave Jones i thought he was suppose to be a ‘creative’ player? seems like his head is elsewhere, time to give Milijas 4-5 game run ,it will help his match fitness too, then we will see if he can hack the PL, if not get rid of them both in January, and buy a decent passer of the ball who can create?. Looking at Jody’s artwork he creates better things than Jones does. Its worrying that we’ve only taken 1pt out of 12pts relegation form that is. Its a shame as we played very well in the 2nd half,and should have scored two-three ,before Heskey scored. We need 6pts from Wigan, WHU, as we want get much from the next 4 matches afterwards. UTW

We made a poor Villa side look good.

The main entertainment this afternoon surrounded a great player – Matt Murray.

Elokobi improved the left side of defence, Craddock was his usual good self and Fletcher won some headers. The rest was/were unforgettable.

McCarthy I like as an honest man with integrity, just like my boss. However, neither of them would make a good Premiership manager!

Report abuse

The relegation battle has commenced.

Report abuse

We were outplayed in the first half and our left side was totally exposed – no wonder Ward went off as his legs were twisted every which way by Albrighton and Young!!!

As usual, we seemed to resort to a constant diet of back passes to the keeper with long hopeful punts up the pitch hoping to find our forwards – inadequate tactics at this level.

In the second half our play was much improved and the ball was kept on the ground and there was a real effort to put pressure on. Our goal was fortuitous but nonetheless deserved on the balance of play as Villa seemed to fade. Unfortunately, we continue to fail to turn possession and some decent passing and movement into goals and Heskey’s quality strike underlined the paucity of our attack and our leaden defence.

A run of three consecutive losses does not augur well in the near term. Our midfield needs sorting out as we seem incapable of getting 90 minutes of creative play out of it. We really need some real speed on both flanks if we are to create problems for opposing defences.

I suspect MM’s answer to our recent form will be to revert to 4-5-1 which might garner some tied games but will not produce wins.

Jarvis is a decent player but England quality? No way – too inconsistent and, in this game with Capello watching, did not do enough to justify selection.

Report abuse

Asolutely stunned & gutted really. 3 games & we have blown it in the final 10 minutes of each game. 2 we could have won at Fulham & Spurs & this one we could have salvaged a draw, albeit Warnock should have never been on the pitch to provide the cross for Heskey to have a “training ground header” for a winning goal. Do the team know we have to play & compete for 90+ minutes against 12 men (11 + the ref) every week??

Looking good for Doyle & Fletcher to move on in January as they won’t want to stay around & fight relegation for a second succesive season will they?

Why do we purchase players that are either unfit or not up to the pace of the EPL. Names to the fore are Milijas (still, what has happened to this guy), Zubar (got there in the end last season, now out again until when?), VanDamme (looks ok, but can’t last the full game) Adlene (did this guy sign for us on the back of some great performances at the end of last season, & a WC under his belt too). When is Hunt really going to be ready? We always have a long treatment room of who’s who! Is there something wrong with our training methods to keep picking up injuries, I know Hunts was inherited, but think about other players who seem to get done for by our own players.

I don’t want to join the anti- McCarthy brigade & living over her in Aussie (thank god for Foxsports) I can only get to see the games through the media & catch up on this good old E&S web. We seem to be labouring at the moment & when will all the cliches stop in the E&S… “we know how to deal with Heskey” yeah right he knew how to deal with us for sure. Lets not get carried away we have struggled against Southend & Notts County. Come on Wolves get some backbone. Like last season we are not going to get any assistance from the officials no matter how blatant a foul or a penatly it is, unless its in our own box.

With Martin O’Neill available (maybe even Coppell) how long will Steve Morgan allow this slide to continue, lets make no bones about it, we are once more in a dogfight.

On a closing note I’d like to say well done to the Baggies for achieving 3 great results this week against the Bluenoses & the Gooners in the EPL & against “money bags” City in the cup. It seems you played without fear guys. Maybe going up & down 5 times as been the making of your team. I wish we had the same!!

Apologies if this is a bit of a novel, but 2nd season syndrome is on our shirt tails guys!!

Why put a barricade by the ground only to allow the fans to mix my the coach park and train station anyway.

Every away match I have been to where trouble may happen we get locked in for half an hour. Not once has that happened here.

Berra – The agility of a sumo wrestler

First of all, we were playing against villa, who are hardly a bad team, they will be hoping to qualify for europe and no doubt will do well again this season. Next, doyle had been outrunning the defence all game, and then he gets chopped down, when he clearly would have used his pace to be through on goal. For a team like Man utd that would have been a second yellow and warnock would have been off.

As for our team, Edwards was poor and i cant remember him making a single successfull pass, which was even more frustrating when nearly every attack we had in the first half was down the right, instead of using Jarvis to better effect. Elekobi was brilliant when he came on and deserves to replace Ward for the next game, i was hesitant when i saw Big George come on because we all know his distribution can be poor, but he made some fantastic passes, including a few Jones would be proud of.

Im not worried, Micks still the best manager weve had in years and has proven he can keep us in the prem, Guediora deserves a start if hes fit, and Ward should be dropped as hes been poor in the last few games. I think we need a bit more pace in the center of defence, and would drop Berra for Mouyokolo when fit, and i would definately bring Zubar back into the team, as he would definately help our attacks down the right. I dont think Foley was troubled defensively but when it comes to attacking, he will just hoof the ball into the box and hope for the best. With those changes i think we would survive comfortably, not to mention the injured players getting fit again as the season progresses.

Some excellent comments, pity MM wont read them cos he knows it all. At the best he is championship level along with Foley, Craddock, Berra and Ward, as for Edwards oh dear. Zubar, Guedioura, Mouyokolo, Jelle,Stearman and Hunt should all be playing if/when fit otherwise why buy/sign them. Worst team in the prem by far at the moment. Come on Mr Morgan surely you cant be happy with this rubbish, then again it saves you spending money on a new stadium so perhaps you are.

Whatever Big Mick is doing with the lads is obviously not working very well as we seem to have caught the ’75 minutes have gone and it’s time to switch off’ bug!
Too many lapses of concentration are occurring and we are literally throwing points away because of it – it must stop!
Event the most optimistic Wolves fan will not be relishing our games against Chelsea, City, United or Arsenal and although West Brom caused the biggest shock this weekend, can anyone really see us doing the same?
Hopefully things will turn around quickly but should it not happen, we are going to fighting to stay in the PL before Christmas, and that will mean a long, hard slog until the season ends.

Report abuse

M.M was a defender of sorts? Yet he cannot organise the defence to put a barrier up on the six yard box. Foley fell asleep for the first goal, he had no idea that Downing was running in from the wing, in fact,he did not know that Downing was on the wing.

Heskey’s goal was first class, yet another poor mixed up play on Wolves left gave the ball away allowing the ball to be centred.

I have mentioned before of the inadequate defenders in the middle, why did Wolves buy at least one defender of note, even if it was for one season? Neither Croddock or Berra are Premiership defenders. Now, who do we blame for that. Is MM, is it Moxley resticting his spending or is it Morgan? The policy appears to be, buy from the poundshop, not from M&S

Despite some comments, Jarvis is useful, but unlike other teams who pass the ball in a fashion for a clear run, he often has to fight the opponents because the passing is inadequate. At times, it is not even Sunday League quality

Would MM indicate why he uses race horses as cart horses, ie,Doyle and Fletcher. When he decides to us Milijas, he will not be match fit and the crowd will moan that he is not good enough.

Can’t believe all the negative vibes – the season has only just started. There is more belief, more effort and so far, more progress in the side this year compared to last.

no100 Rich, Stearman could perhaps have done better,but he was outnumbered 3 to 1.Exactly the same as last week no tracking back by midfielders.The foreign players signed are not good enough.Guedioura did well on the ball and I hope he is not badly injuerd,but like Van Damme the week before,Guedioura had not got the legs to track back and he had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes.

To say we’re going down already is quite pathetic. We’ve only been playing a month!

McCarthy needs to stop being so loyal to his favourites though because we have better players on the bench like; Guedioura should be a first team regular, Mouyokolo should start ahead of Berra, Elokobi ahead of ward (until Hunt is fit then Van Damme ahead of Elokobi).

Perhaps Mick should revert to 4-5-1 again and grind out a few results?

Seems to me that half the posters on here want Wolves to lose so that they can unload their spite and vitriol.
Facts are, we were unlucky not to come away with something from each of the last 3 games, and the team is overall competitive, even if there are some weaknesses to be addressed.
On the up side, we’ve scored in every game. On the down side, we’ve conceded in every game – even against lower league opposition -and that’s not going to keep us safe.
Time for a re-think on the full-backs, and the defensive cover in the midfield.

We spent a lot of money this summer and last. But some players have been sub-standard – Halford, Surman, Maierhofer etc. While others are still here that shouldn’t be – Ward, Hennessey.

Oh I forgot…a certain MM is in charge. He is as clueless as when he was manager of Ireland!!!

From what I can see your midfield lacks any invention and can’t supply that killer pass to your £17M strike force.

Why don’t you deploy a wingback system with that extended pitch? I’m dure goals would start coming in then, look at us thats where we expose most teams by using the full width of the pitch.

Rob H you should start comcentrating on your own team insteas of worrying your little head over West Bromwich Albion.

I do agree with your point about MM and if I remember rightly he held the record for the team to be relegated with the least amount of points. He could smash that record hopefully.

Here we go again…the doom and gloom merchants are out in force.. give MM a break would u.. so far has achieved more than all recent managers at wolves.. 6 games in and a lot of u already have us relegated.. would be funny to see u all saying MM best manager ever if we won next 2 games And got 2 or 3 points from the following 4 games after that.

I’m very upset to hear of Guediora’s broken leg following Sidwell’s reckless tackle.

I’m sure we’ll go back to one up front v Wigan….Team ?

Hahnemann

Stearman Craddock Berra Elokobi

Jarvis Henry Jones Mancienne van Damme [or Fletcher]

Doyle

Don’t know why Mancienne wasn’t involved on Sat….and he didn’t get on on Tues either. When we get points, it’s usually when he’s played a part.

Come on Wolves!

Villa were very fortunate to win and once again poor refereeing. Warnock should have not been on the pitch and Sidwell’s challenge – that has put Guedioura out of action for 6 months – was not good.
When we have our full strength squad minus Kightly we could beat most of the league but the stand ins are not up to the task! It might be time to drop Berra and Jones and go with a side like this when they are all fit:-

Hahnemann Zubar Craddock Mouyokolo Van Damme Jarvis Henry Milijas Hunt Fletcher Doyle

The biggest question marks would be – Mouyokolo, Van Damme and Miljas. The remainder are quality!

128 – if you don’t understand the irony of LW moaning about posters using false names then you aint been on our pages mate.

Not sure what it is I said that you disaprove of – I have no need to mock your result / team / manager ect ect….. 130 wolves posters on here have done that already.

Cheer up.

It is nice to read the above comments,as I have endured a torrid time from the likes of WOLFMAN,RAMJAG,who call themselves wolves fans,as all along I have been saying”GET RID MICKO”we owe him nothing for getting us up,especially when you can see that the man is not able to improve the team.
I am not a manager but I have always questioned WARD’S inclusion even when we win,as he is an obvious liability,THE last three games have been LOST at his end.He is consistent in letting players beat him and cross,makes rash tackles and passes the ball to the opposition.Yes there are other players who do this but not to the high levels WARD does.YET mick keeps picking him!Why?
Yet SEB may not be great but he was starting to look a threat and is our only GOALSCORER and he is not even getting on as sub!Yet micko was the one who was saying how sharp SEB is the guy scores and guess what he is out of the team for DOYLE!!When did he last score????//.These are just two reasons mick should pack up and please leave.MARTIN O’NEIL will do,he wont play players out of position and as a more fairer system in that you dont just have to be grafter.Attackers will attack,defenders will defend,midfielders will play both sides of the green.
Jones is doing damage to the team also by trying to be the dribbler going nowere.

number one, as for Martin O’Neil?!?!? are you joking?!? he left Villa ’cause of their ‘lack of ambition to break into the top 4′, there’s no way he’d come to us.

number two, long balls and no control is no good. causes sub-standard players to panic when the pressures put on them.. i mean.. Dave Jones. HOW MANY TOUCHES DOES HE NEED TO CONTROL THE BALL?!?! c’mon man, you can play better than that. Karl Henry – don’t be scared to feed a few balls down the flanks or through the middle to, what i think, are two awesome strikers!!

i do think we’ve got a better team with a few players coming back from injury. i do think we have a manager capable of keeping us in this division. i do think the tesco’s played well on saturday, but this is football don’t forget. the season is long, injuries and form will count, squad sizes will be tested, so until saay… Christmas time, let’s not get tooo panicky. Just keep plugging away.

Look at the fulham game. i think we were unlucky. Look at the Newcastle game. i think we were denied a stonewall penalty which could’ve finished em. look at the Spurs game – if not for the ‘carry-on’ defending in the last 5mins, we have to appreciate we did well against a Champions League team.

Lets not panic JUST yet… if we find ourselves 4-0 down at Wigan, i may have to appraise what i’m about to say but… in Mick we trust!!!

Next 2 games are vital in defining the course of this season. Our midfield was overrun in the first half, and just shows that we do not have the team to play 4-4-2. We need to first consolidate, then think about winning. Just a thought, both Elokobi and Ward are out of their depths in the PL, would put Mancienne in there, remember him playing excellent when he played there against sheff utd, after Ward was taken to the cleaners by Dyer. Lets hope Hunt comes back early October.

HB I have no idea what intricacies go on in the dark mirth of the Baggies pages……..

I’m merely commenting that you seem to appear at such times as I have mentioned above.

The usual thing today of people moaning because we’ve lost…..I’m sure the same happens on the Baggies pages too.

Up to a few weeks ago I was as much in the dark about the Wolves pages as you are about the Baggies,but after being bombarded by idiotic,childish comments from the majority, not all, Wolves “fans” that post on our sites I tried in vain to ask politely if they would desist from trespassing.
It was then I crossed paths with Billy the Fish,I get more sense out of my pet donkeys,
The only sensible thing he said was you had more idiots than us.
I am of the older generation of Baggies fan so my pet dislike was the Villa,cause in my hay day you were under the Corner Shop Brigade and nearly down and out,then in stepped your sugar daddy to save you.But because of your idiot”my dad is bigger” fans(as I’ve said not all) I’ve changed my preference,so as you can imagine,although there is along way to go,I’m very happy today.

I have to agree with many comments on this page, however i have a few observations i’d like to air:

1. Before a ball was kicked this season im sure everyone would have taken, a win against stoke, draw away to everton, draw with newcastle. The next 3 results should be summed up as follows, lost to uefa cup finalists, lost to a champions league team and lost to a team that have finished 6th in PL 3 seasons on the spin. The kick in the nads is that we should have had anything from 5 pts to 9 pts out of these games! A minimum return from the next 6 games is 4 pts – i know this will still put us behind the tescos but we have 2 periods within the season where pts can be maximised. We couldn’t have chosen a better run in, so as long as were in contention with 10 games to go i have no fear.

2. This season has always been a relegation battle. The 3 teams that have come up are superior to the 3 that went down. We finsished with 38 pts last season that probably won’t be good enough this season. I don’t care where we finish as long as a) it’s not bottom 3 and b) we improve on last seasons points tally.

3. We are suffering as a result of missing players – Zubar and VD should be our full backs, Mouyokolo should replace Berra, Hunt at LM Jarvis at RM. Playing 442 against all but the top 5 teams who we should then play 451 with Mancienne coming into the midfield.

4. Finally, we are discriminated against big time on the Ref front. I seem to recall stone wall penalties being overlooked last season. We shouldn’t, but i think we have to accept it – we aint getting nothing! How many did we get last season 1/2?

In summary, it’s early days there is a lot of football to be played. Keep the faith. I maintain that MM has improved every season since taking over – need him to this season for certain!

The last three games should have yielded at least three points.All three games were lost in the last few minutes.WAKE UP WOLVES-YOU ARE PLAYING IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE NOW!Wolves have now put a lot of pressure on themselves for the next two games which are must win games as we are unlikely to get anything from the following four games.If they don’t.then there is the possibility of them being rooted at the bottom of the table.Time to stand up and be counted and play for 90 minutes!

147. I did not say we had more idiots than you, I stated we all had our fair share of idiots, you however, have the biggest idiots in terry and jack, to which you agreed. You then got told off for actually agreeing with a Wolves fan and have been backtracking ever since.

Cya and all that…

Kev allow me to to retort.

I did not say we had more idiots than you, simple as..

As for my ‘reputation’ this I believe is because one of your posters (who himself appears a bit dim, Cantello) stated that I was one of the worst blah blah blah. If you take his opinion as gospel then fair play.

It allways strikes me with you bennies that you can give it out but cannot take it back, you only have to look at the amount of messages from Wolves fans congratulating you on your excellent start to the season and performance against Arsenal. Would that be reciprocated? no i didn’t think so…
