Wolves are getting better and better
Friday 26th August 2011, 6:00AM BST.
Wolves blogger Tim Spiers believes this as good a time as ever to be a fan of the club as they head to Aston Villa for the first West Midlands derby of the season.
There’s nothing more unedifying than a glory-hunting football fan who doesn’t know just how good he or she has got it.
You know the type – they have rarely ventured to the stadium of the team they profess their love for, but feel qualified to tell anyone who will listen their in-depth analysis of who said club should play, buy or sell.
Take, for instance, the Arsenal followers who think Arsene Wenger – a man who has won seven trophies for the club and pain-stakingly constructed one of the most attractive sides to watch in world football – should be sacked.
For what exactly I’m not sure, bar the fact he’s been held to ransom by his best players who’ve got pound signs in their eyes, because the club won’t risk its future by offering astronomical Manchester City-level wages.
Or there were the Real Madrid fans who booed their team’s 1-0 win over Osasuna last season, for the simple reason that Jose Mourinho’s style of winning football wasn’t to their liking.
These types of supporters call a two-game winless run a crisis and think nothing of winning competitions like the FA Cup or Carling Cup.
But perhaps equally as unpalatable as this trait is that of the supporter who predicts doom and gloom whenever his team achieves the slightest bit of success.
And phrases such as “it will never last” and “they will probably lose next week though” have been heard regularly around Molineux for as long as I can remember.
With good reason, too, for Wolves have undoubtedly underachieved massively since Sir Jack Hayward threw his millions away on several injury-prone Premier League has-beens in the early 1990s. We have had more false dawns than Sport Soccer’s had closing down sales.
But it struck me the other day, shortly after the care-free dismantling job of Northampton Town – a game we would almost certainly have lost three or four years ago – that this is the best I have ever had it as a Wolves fan.
Two wins from two Premier League matches and a Carling Cup victory over a League Two side doesn’t amount to very much at all in the grand scheme of things.
No, it’s the general state of the club, on and off the field, which looks so rosy. Owner Steve Morgan has overseen a professional, sensible overhaul of the club from top to bottom.
A club which now has an excellent youth academy, an expanding state-of-the-art training ground and a potential stadium fit to compete with the best in the country.
But it’s on the field, particularly the manner in which we have approached those three matches, which has been so unusual recently.
At Blackburn, the players seemed utterly at ease with their 2-1 advantage in the closing minutes, without so much as a hint of the blinding panic which made every single victory in 2010-11 as nervous as Stan Laurel walking around an air-horn store.
If that result was written-off as an opening-day exception against a quite awful Blackburn team, the Fulham game added further weight to the theory that Mick McCarthy’s team could surprise a few people this season.
I can scarcely recall a more competent performance from front to back from a Wolves team in any division, let alone in the Premier League.
There were no defensive alarms, no wasting of possession, no silly errors and no rushed judgements.
And going forward we were a revelation at times with the front five of Kevin Doyle, Steven Fletcher, Stephen Hunt, Matt Jarvis and Jamie O’Hara linking superbly.
The passing and movement was sublime and the amount of long shots they went for was incredible, such was the confidence flowing through the side.
You can talk it down all you want, and yes I know it’s only Fulham we were playing but, to me, this just felt different.
Wolves don’t do calm, stress-free, relatively easy wins and now we’ve had three on the trot.
You only have to take a quick look around Molineux to see that the club is building for the long term, with the redevelopment of the stadium.
The same long-term approach has been used on the field, too, but this isn’t quite as obvious at first glance.
However, it now seems that the signings McCarthy made with the team’s longevity in mind are beginning to bear fruit.
Players such as goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, Stephen Ward, Christophe Berra and Matt Jarvis – who have all had ups and downs in the past few seasons – are starting to look like seasoned Premier League professionals.
Our manager will, of course, play a bat straighter than a Jonathan Trott forward-defensive in response to any suggestions of players getting ideas above their station. Rightly so, for nothing has been achieved yet.
But the building blocks for this were put in place years ago and you have to say that on and off the field things look in excellent health.
We’re debt-free, with a wealthy but humble chairman at the helm, plus a likeable and astute manager in charge of a hard-working squad, young talented squad with a distinct lack of prima-donnas.
Add a brand spanking redeveloped stadium and three wins from three matches and you can’t really find much room for improvement at the moment.
As McCarthy said this week in his typically droll fashion, it’s two games down and 36 to go.
We could get thumped at Aston Villa oon Saturday, we might lose our next five games, we may even be relegated next May.
But, right at this minute, it feels pretty good to be a Wolves fan.

I’d go along with much of that. It is a great time to be a Wolves fan (or follower) and the future has a very rosy tinged hue – long may it last.I’m less critical of the different way people express their support, the glass being half full or half empty is part of life, and of course, both statements are accurate. Where people may differ is in what needs doing next and when and how – I humbly suggest that will ever be the case.
Whatever, it’s good to be able to consider those things against the excellent background the article so rightly highlights. C’mon the old gold and black!

I am a life long wolves fan (now follower)I started watching the wolves with my relllies from the south bank then as I got a bit older the shed. I am used to the ups and downs as a wolves fan, but I have to admit the prospect of this season is one to look forward to with a feeling we can at last see some of the glory my dad and older rellies saw in the 50′s. I now live (my choice) in New Zealand but to get up at 2 or 3 am to watch sky and see and hear the Mol crowd is fantastic. Long may it continue, I am comming to theUK in March and you can guess where I will be

Whilst i agree with the comments it is worth saying that at the moment all the key players are fit and on form, where i think we have slipped up this year is in not buying quality squad players, what happens if doyle/fletcher or hunt/ohara gets injured do we have the players to come in?
Report abuse
Spot on that Tim – there is definitely a new found ‘feel good factor’ around the Molineux at the moment and long may it continue.
The only concern I have is strength in depth and the recent injury to SEB has further highlighted this issue.
A wee dabble in the loan market for a back-up striker must surely be a priority for Mick?

I couldn’t agree more, I am so proud of the team and the club as a whole, the 3Ms have done an amazing job! So many other epl teams just seem completely souless by comparison. It’s not just about what you achieve, it’s how you do it that’s so important.

A good balanced article with regard to our club over the last few years, as long as the supporters see effort from the players, a plan from the Manager, goals being scored, silly mistakes being cut out, substitutions being made when things do need changing, a settled side,then the support will be solid even in difficult times.
A good start, but along way to go so realism is needed to the challenge ahead.
A new stadium to be proud of for the City is essential in these times, however more importantly is also a Team to be proud of, hopefully we will get both in the coming years.

No depth in the squad. Did anyone see the line up against Northampton? That entire 11 could start a Premiership game and put up a decent fight.
Report abuse
There will no doubt be some pitfalls along the way this season, but somehow I just sense far more optimism amongst the supporters.
Too much is made about the need for signing some additional players. As the article points out, Wolves have been building this squad for sometime. There have been a few failures in the transfer market, but they have been moved on, while at the same time we have kept on picking up better quality players.
We may not win any trophies this season but we should certainly consolidate our position in the Premiership. This in itself should help the club encourage other quality players to sign for the Wolves.
The futures bright, the futures Gold & Black.

6,
Don’t we already have both, apart from Henry of course???
Tim, nice blog & couldn’t agree with the sentiment more!!!
I’ll be a lot happier when the transfer windows closes & our squad is still in tact, bloody scousers why do they always want what’s not theirs???
Tough test for us tomorrow Villa seem to be made of sterner stuff already under Mcleish, though if our CB’s can keep Bent quiet I’ll go for us to nick a win by the odd goal, 0-1 Fletch.

Let’s get things into perspective here.We beat Blackburn with a decimated defence,Fulham knackered from a Europa league game 3 days previous and Northampton.
The season really begins this weekend when we play a team that we aspire to compete with.This will be a true yardstick.
Meanwhile our friends down the road could easily have ‘nil points’ after 3 games having played 2 vastly superior teams to us and their bogey side.
Let’s keep our feet on the ground I say because this start could easily go t**s up-after all this is Wolves.

Two thoughts.
1. Another nice thing of the pre-season/opening weeks has been the kids getting a chance. We saw Kostrna and Davis in pre-season and now Reckord and a some late subs on Tuesday. As the first team becomes more composed/established so we can really start bringing through the home grown talent. MM hasn’t felt able to do this before with the positions we’ve been in. This is good.
2. We will undoubtedly have a run of three losses at some point this season. It may start tomorrow. Let’s remember this then. Whatever happens over the course of a few months, this club is going the right way over the long-term and we should not be knocked off course.
Up the Wolves.

Im really happy about the start of the season I think we have done absolutely fantastic. But im also a bit worried and angry. Almost every Wolves fan thinks we need probably 2 more players this season a defender and a striker ( especially with Ebanks out for a month ) BUT Mick knows more about football than I or most of us do so im gonna trust him, but if we struglle again or go down for the sake of a few millions then someone should be accountable. Also the Doyle situation if we are goning to sell him then sell him now so we have at lease got a few days to get someone else in not just have Fletcher and Vokes fit !!!!!!! cmon Wolves. Bring on the Villa

Anyone think we can win the league? No chance in my book.
But the issue is the 2 years experience in playing in the league, the new additions/now fit players.
Did anyone notice we have players who are now prepared to hold the ball and play it off, instead of panicking.
Cool calm and collected and we shall aspire to greater things.
As for Villa tough team to crack so support is all we can give, as for the other two games you can only beat the team that is there on the day, do not underestimate the teams progress with they were depleted or may have been tired (lets hope they go further and get the double over them)

As a lifelong wolves season ticket holder (through thick and thin). I agree the start is fantastic,the first eleven seem to have a new poise and balance that was not there before but I feel we are missing a great opportunity to try to strengthen the squad with quality players that are available for not great sums of money( Ridgewell,Dann, Parker etc)They might not want to come to us but I think we should give it a go and then we will have the strength in depth to push on to Premeir longevity as a top half table team and not be involved with relegation battles year in year out( exciting though it may be)).

Nice one, Tim. I agree so much with you. I chatted with you in the carpark at Sixfields on tuesday and loved your passion for Wolves. McCarthy has to take so much credit for what he has built. It is HIS team. They play for him and for us. Key to the team ethos is the wage structure. Forget silly money for short term fixes, we pay our way and live within our means. The team feeling is there to see as Tim points out. Let us home we kick on, sty injury free and push towards 50 points. I live near Arsenal and have their fans all around me. Believe me, many of their “fans” have such an expectation of winning that they are critical of their wonderful young, maturing and vulnerable youngsters and heap extra pressure on them. This then reflects in their play. At Wolves we would cherish and love them as our own. Arsenal fans do not deserve their team nor further success. Look at then turning on Wenger who has made that club. Disgraceful bunch of prawn sandwich eaters. I wish them an indifferent season. Then watch them whinge. It is a lovely time to follow Wolves. Keep it up lads. Let’s enjoy it Wolves fans!

Couldn’t agree more with this article, Jamie Rednapp thought despite our epl survival last season that we were the most underachieving team last year. So Hopefully this year we can live up to our potential and show people what a big club this is!! Onwards and upwards
Plus No.7 JJ spot on!! The team at Northampton showed what a good strength in depth we have. I would have liked to have seen a new LB arrive and maybe we could do with a striker on loan. But If we don’t get that then I’m still more than happy with the squad

It really is a good time to be a wolves supporter. Regardless of current form, which may change or may not, we have entirely the right attitude towards fulfilling the potential of our great club. Our new ground will be amazing, our squad just gets better and better and we are extremely well run by the 3Ms. Slow and steady wins the race my old grandmother used to say! That’s our policy at the moment and it’s working well. Let’s keep the long term, big picture in mind. UTW :-)

Well as the stadium is being rebuilt, probably not, as we have been told on several occasions McCarthy has been trying to bring more players in probably not, however as the title of the article says we are getting better and better, which most of us believe. As for Henry who mentioned him, not I.
You can go over old ground if you wish, but as I said in another post new season, new start, as McCarthy said 2 down 36 to go, pretty good statement to me.

Your right Tim, Some of the doom mongers have just refused to recognise the progress this Club has made over the last five years. None of us will agree with every decision the manager and board have made. However whether it’s team selection, transfer activity or the new stadium that bugs you (my pet grumble is the lack of youngsters coming through from the Academy…but maybe that’s changing) you have to agree the position we find ourselves in is very pleasant.
Most of us realise things can change quite quickly in this game we call football. A defeat at an outpost like Villa Park, losing Doyle to Liverpool or a couple of key players getting injured. Perish the thought, but, why worry about things that haven’t happened ? Just enjoy the now !
One criticism of your blog. Real Madrid fans have every right to boo Mourinho. This man is an embarrassment to one of the World’s great club sides. His antics on the touchline have been outrageous for some years, but, the latest incident, poking the opposition coach in the eye from behind is just unbelievable ! God forbid he ever returns to the Premiership, but, if he does I suggest he doesn’t try that cowardly little trick on our Mick.

I see there are comments regarding this blog already from those over on the Dark side! We have been waiting and getting behind the club to get to this stage for some time and on and off the pitch things are building very well for future. Not quite as long as Albion fans have been waiting to see Graham Dorrans prove he’s a Premier League player after his one good season in the Championship!
Same starting line-up tomorrow and lets get at Villa, they must be nervously over their shoulders on and off the pitch as we make ground on them every year.

100% agree with everything in this blog, evan comparing wolves now to last season is a distinctive difference, 4 0 and northampton that wasent evan our first team is immense and its good to know we have support for injurys (ashame about ebanks he was just looking good).
We now have a strong and confident squad with the likes of ohara pushing us up fron and johnson keeping our back steady-(ish) we are now a challengeing club and people are aware of that. After the fulham game it really annoyed me when people where saying “oh they had a game midweek our advantage blah blah blah” evan the fulham manager said it should make them more fit and aware,. So UP THE WOLVES and lets get Villa tommorow, 9 from 9 is an amazing start.
I actually can see wolves achieve something this season if we stay strong and confident and dont just slip up when the going gets tough, have to say Mick has done a great job and lets keep it goind hey lads, Do it for the fans lads and do if for yourself!

2 league games in and two wins great start, but can we stop banging on about how great we are all of a sudden, it could well bite us on the arse later in the season. we have started better than last season and thats all so far. lets wait and see at the end, that as mick always points out is what its all about !!! long long way to go yet. still great to see us turn over 2 teams instead of the other way round.

What happened to the cheerful, astute Chris Hoggard of previous seasons. Ever since Steve Morgan announced plans for the new stadium you’ve turned grumpy and a bit cynical. This ain’t the John Ireland stand and the well meaning, but wanting, board of yesteryear. Sure, the money has to be found from somewhere, but, if the business plan goes well (and the team continues to progress), the money is ringfenced, leaving adequate funds for new players each window, and with my mate Jez in charge he’ll spread that cash a little further than most.
(if the business plan goes awry and , God forbid, we get relegated, then phases 2 & 3 get postponed. But that won’t happen, will it Chris ?)

Yes it is early days but the ruthless way our shadow squad with youngsters put Northampton to the sword bodes well for the season. We now go to Vile Park, with no pressure on us!
My slight concern is that there are two spaces in the squad and they are not going to be filled? The one position that we have not really got like for like cover on is Karl Henry’s – apart from the youngster Davis!

I feel that we now have about six outfield players with real quality,at the moment all fit and raring to go.That is the crux of our success to date,the others may be dragged along with them.One point missed is the high standard of fitness shown.To play the way McCarthy wants,ie the pressing game, they have to be fitter than the opposition which at the moment they are.This was the cornerstone of the success of the Stan Cullis era[yes I am old enough to have witnessed those days].We are on the right track, but we need another three top quality players and then TOP SIX!!!

bilbrookwolves – We wont sell him, at least in this transfer window anyway. I read on the Metro website that we have valued him at £50 milion which made me laugh, but as much as that figure is ridiculous, we could easily be requesting a fee that size for a few reasons:
We are financially secure.
Hes happy at this club.
He still has a few years on his contract.
All those reasons means not only do we not have to sell, but we can hold out for an absolutely ridiculous offer.
Given how much we paid for him from a championship club and what he has done for us so far, I would genuinely value him at around £15 – £20 million. Which would mean a ridiculous offer would be around the £30 – £50 million mark. I just hope the club values him as highly.

Think you might have held off on this blog until after the first five victories as per #28 PeteNuts.
2 matches in, yes we seem to have found an ability to put teams away, which I don’t think was there before. Call it being professional, call it competence, you know it when you see it – the killer touch – we’ve got it and it’s good to see.
However Expresso rumours indicate a likely bid for Doyle and coupled with earlier talk about Jarvis, it probably won’t take too long before we find our feet on the ground again.
Just saying it.

Regarding the other article, I agree with Mick about playing above yourself when your getting stick, but i also think it can backfire and a bit too much enthusiasm to shut the fans up can sometimes result in a red card, Im hoping we play excellent football again, and whatever the result, I will be happy with our start.

As i said this week,i think we’ve got the best squad of 25 players, this clubs had for many years. We all know its not good enough to win the BPL or even get into the top six, but the quality as improved no end. It will take us another 3-5 seasons to get into a top six position, but if every season we buy better quality players,it will take us a few steps forward,it was never going to quick/easy, as we’ve not got the mega rich backers of the top six clubs. But slowly we will get back to being a top six club,if we carry making the same progress as we’ve made so far. ‘Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day’ As for tomorrow’s game it will be a hard match, but i think the confidence our players are playing with,we could get a draw if not even all 3pts. But im going to say it whether i get stick off certain people, but my biggest worry is Stephen Ward v C. N’Zogbia his nemesis, ive yet to see a game in which he hasn’t given Ward the ‘run-around’, creating goals and scoring them too. I praised Ward last weekend for an excellent game,’i hope im doing the same after tomorrow’s match too. GOOD LUCK TO THE LADS: UTW:

46, CRBrummie, a badge of honour indeed. Bill Slater OBE or MBE. I think he won 3 championship medals and an FA cup winners medal for the Wolves in the 50s.

Yes Lone Wolf. You are right. Bill Slater played for England at amateur (when he was with Blackpool) and professional levels. He was part of the 1958 World Cup squad when England selected Wright, Clamp, Slater and Flowers. Four half backs from one Club ! Unheard of at the time. (Broadbent and Deeley were also in the squad) Bill moved to centre half when Billy Wright retired and was capped there too. As a rock’n'roll teenager I watched him many times. Great days.
If I remember correctly he was a lecturer at Birmingham University, but, don’t quote me.
