It wasn’t inept, it wasn’t appalling and neither was it down to bad luck or decisions by the officials running the game that we lost. It simply wasn’t good enough……..again.

This Wolves out fit are a bunch of triers, no doubt about that but with nothing up their sleeves to pull off any surprises once they go behind. Nor anything up those same sleeves once they’ve taken the lead, to convincingly kill off the opposition.
Another season like the last two in prospect. The best we can hope for is that three other teams have a worse season than we do.
McCarthy holds his head in his hands. Well, even I could have told him that Guedioura and Hammil would have been better starting than Hunt and Henry. Better Henry doesn’t start at all in my view. Disappointing, yet again.

Oh dear its all going pearshaped!!!

What’s MM’s excuse for another loss? Another 3 points down the drain. None in four games now is it??? That’s relegation performance.

A good start to the season has now been ruined by another loss!

It doesn’t matter how the team plays because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is the result.

Same old favourites played again, the subs showed who should be in the starting eleven. Very disappointing.

let’s get the ref decisions out of the way yes they were poor and both could have turned the game for us.

After that, the first thing is the manager again picked the wrong team after the last few games changes were needed, he didn’t do it, Jarvis wasted on the R Wing for 20 mins, Hunt ineffective, Henry should have been dropped for Adlene.

We had so many opportunities to score and didn’t take them that is the fact of the game.

Some believed that Henry was MOTM last week, I really couldn’t see it he was so poor last week and every game so far, he has I have said last season & this been ineffective, WOW looks like McCarthy has seen the light, I never thought he would take him off, didn’t the game change!

I was prepared to give McCarthy a fresh start, but we are going no where with this guy, Moxey wants to know why attendances are dropping, mainly it’s because we haven’t got a goal scorer or a manager who knows what he is doing, he lost us the game again today before we started.

As for Conner why he has the rolled up newspaper I don’t know, (unless he is looking for a job), it doesn’t do us any good week after week.

Bright spots, Hammill & Adlene may be in the team next game, however don’t bank on it.

Darkside, we are in for another season as last, unless pigheaded McCarthy sorts himself out or the board does it for him

Result, if not more fans will stop going to the game, and we will be in the bottom 3 again!!!!!!!!!

SOUTHWICK WOLF – I think when teams miss chances but dominate, it shouldnt be considerd bad luck, but when huge poor decisions go against you, theres nothing you can do about it, and therefor it has to be deemed bad luck. The decisions were really poor today, and our performance at least deserved a drawto say the least.

Having said that, our start of the season is now over, and I think its essential that we now get 2 wins out of 2. If that happens, things will no doubt look good again. If we dont win our next 2 matches though, we will be in serious trouble.

Same as last year but what can you expect with the numpty and clipboard in charge. I said last year MM has had his time and should go before he destroys everything. We are fast becoming a laughing stock. Not concerned with late rallies, its the previous performance that killed us off. Bottom line is yet another rubbish performance. Defence is laughable, Johnson would need to be superman with this lot around him. Stearman and Berra are simply not good enough.

11, pohwolf,
I’m listening, no problem, you have my sympathy. It’s the board who need to be listening………….and watching as less fans turn up to each home game and make for the exits…..seen it all before…best manager in thirty years my ass. That’s a sad reflection in itself. Getting out of the Championship is difficult I grant you, staying in the prem is harder. We need a manager who can do that with some style, not one who does with doubt in his expression and his head in his hands.

Report abuse

Well, I’ve said it before and I will say it again. MM & TC are not fit for the Premiorship. They keep picking their favorites instead of form players. Most posts on here have been calling for Hammill, Guediora and Miljias to start. Only when two of them came on did it look like we might get something from the game. It’s a shame that those in charge seem to have their jobs set in stone.

COME ON THE WOLVE BOARD AND SEE THE LIGHT, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. MM & TC OUT.

To those of you that have called me negative in the past. Hopfully you will see the light too.

!6 Wolfhedd,
I agree it was bad luck that denied us two legit goals. But what about getting two bad decisions against us and still putting away three to four golden opportunities that were missed. We would have won then. Same old, same old. Poor team selection by a manager who simply refuses to see where his weak links are. True a couple of wins from a couple of games will make things look different, that’s obvious but followed by another four defeats is no kind of pattern for survival. End of.

”Robbed simple as that, by not One but Two officials” MM went into Mark Haseley’s dressing room and showed him tv replay of the first penalty shout, and he told MM i didnt see it properly so didnt want to make ‘guess? well he did and got it bloody WRONG. Then the farce of his assistant referee with his Cap on, who wasn’t even in line and had the sun in his eyes, but somehow he could see clearly from where he was in the bright sunshine? I havent seen MH give a good performance since his return from is illness in the BPL. Yet Leicester v Derby now have a World Cup referee Howard Webb in charge of their game? I only said on here last week that the standard of refereeing is awful in the BPL, no better than the Chapionship level. Well today proved me right, just look at Martin Atkinson’s performance between Evtn v Livpol ,he was only two yards from the incident and sent Rodwell off with a straight red card, yet he clearly took the ball, not the man. I know we’ve now lost 4 on the trot, but its in the manner were losing them that matters,yes we gave away two poor goals yet again, but it doesn’t help when you’ve got to put up with such a awful standard of officials in charge. I did smile though when the Beacon commentator said Terry Connor has got a piece of paper in his hand, i shouted i hope its his P45 from Morgan/Moxey. I do feel we need a Top Coach in a.s.a.p. ( Ray Wilkins ), Im not going to say MM should be sacked, but people who know me on here, will know ive said for along time i believe Mick as taken this club as far as his ability will allow him? This is not a ‘knee_jerk’ reaction, as ive said today’s game was lost by ‘TWO OFFICIALS’ not MM. I dont know about clubs wanting to sign Doyle, i think its Fletcher who would fetch the big money, he’s clearly a Top striker in hte BPL, and clearly our club’s best striker. I thought O’Hara was awful always getting caught in possession, and playing players into trouble. I do feel sorry for MM in that SM/JM didnt do what they promised him in the summer, and that was back him financially,saying he could get two CH and one LB aswell as signing J.O’Hara? Its clear our defence even with Johnson in it, isn’t up to playing consistantly in the BPL week-in week-out, thats 9 goals against in 4 matches. Its ok saying yes we’ve played well in Three of the games, but its all about points, and we’ve taken none out of twelve? UTW:

Lets not forget that Tim Krul their gk was by far the BEST PLAYER on the pitch today, even Pardew said it on the tv. If it hadn’t been for his exceptional display and not forgetting the awful decisions by two so called BPL officials, the result could have been very different. UTW:

Poor Decisions by the ref but more poor decisions by MM have cost us yet again.

The midfield is shocking. Henry offers nothing to the team. It normally takes MM a couple of years to see what 26,000 others already can (Collins, Keogh etc etc), lets hope he’s eventually woke up about Henry. Lets get 4 midfielders in who compete and can go forward.

MM out, but we know that will never happen as he tows teh line of minimal squad investment in both transfer fees and wages which keep Morgan and Moxey happy. At least the bigger ground will allow Morgan and Moxey to exploit more paying supporters with broken promises on player investment!!!

All the supporters must be numpties because the biggest cheer of the day was when HENRY was taken off!!!will he now also have the bottle and leave STEARMAN,BERRA,and HUNT out the team. Unfortunatly he will once again state I pick the team and I am not bothered what the supporters think or say.
What is his problem with MILIJAS?…He must have said something to him like FLETCHER did when he picked WARD instead of him, before DOYLE was injured last season.
The manager has lost his credability and should have gone last December.
So Mr MORGAN wake up and do what you should have done last year before its too late again.

Today i felt ashamed to be a wolves fan!cheering sarcastically our player when he gets substituted!He was nowhere near the worst player on the pitch!we may not all agree with karl henry’s style of play, but it’s not him that picks the team and puts himself out there. he gives 100% every week.

I think bitter disappointment sums up most of the posts. Disappointment with the very modest ability of this squad, at the continued selection of players who quite obviously can’t hack it at EPL level and with a financial straight-jacket caused by top slicing funds for building projects etc, thus relegating strengthening of the team to lower levels of importance.
I would also add that communications between the hierarchy and the fans is poor to non-existent, a state of affairs that can hardly assist. They don’t have a good communicator among them so why in heaven’s name can’t they get one? He could save his salary by filling a handful of empty seats.

This season was one I anticipated with a keenness I can barely recall, but it’s now like watching the film Titanic for the umpteenth time having being told in this version the liner doesn’t go down, yet witnessing it’s stern in the air within minutes of the film starting. No doubt the happy clappers will continue re-arranging the deckchairs until it reaches the sea bed.
Someone at the top better get their sums right for next year – because in the twilight world of parachute payments new stands will need to be delayed, or the tea lady’s job will be in jeopardy and Division 1 will be staring the club in it’s collective face.

I suppose we should say that we were robbed.It was definitely a penalty and what was wrong with that goal? and your not allowed to critisise refs.But,having said that we have an International goalkeeper still not commanding his area well enough and can`t even wear a cap when he`s having trouble with the sun.Following that Stearman must go,Henry must go,O`Hara must concentrate for 90 minutes,Johnson needs a partner and so does Fletcher.We need to give a run to Guidi and Milijas.Finally I am sure McCarthy has taken this team as far as he can and after another inspiring TV interview should at this minute be packing his bags along with Moxey after his comments on why the fans are not going to matches.

Well , again, as I predicted…we lost…and we shall also lose our next game at West Brom….
We were appalling again first half, and forget the bad penalty decision, O’Hara and Henry are useless, and we deserved to be two down….yes it was a penalty, and no, the ball wasn’t out when Jarvis headed it back, but dear oh dear…..Johnson and O’Hara were the two worst players on the pitch….is that 11 or 12 million you have wasted there Mick? Johnson’s indecisiveness for the second goal was a joke, and committed himself so easily. Park players the pair of them…. Stearman plays yet Doherty had Downing in his pocket the previous week….and Mick…we just can’t play 442 as we do not have 4 good midfielders….what does Hunt bring to the table…and funny how we picked up when Gued and Hammill came on…and remind me Mick who crossed the ball so perfectly for Fletcher? Both of these have to start…go back to 451 at the Albion, but with Fletcher up front , not the out of sorts Doyle, he is also no worth a place. So 7 points from 7 games, relegation stuff for all to see, we can’t score, we can’t defend and we have the worst midfield of the top two divisions. I was going to buy 3 lots of the 99 quid offer for the next 5 home games, but after this latest shambles, I think I’ll leave it…lose at West Brom and it’s time for McCarthy to go….his tactics are rubbish, his team selection appalling, and the players bought in are passengers.

24, couldn’t agree with you more about Doyler the toiler but you see we numpties don’t realise what “a lovely guy he is to have around the place.” Puts a shift in, of course, cost 6.5 million but what the hell if he can’t score goals, he’s a lovely lad and what we Numpties clearly don’t know about football, is that’s just what you need in todays game. Lovely lads that put a shift in. Not goal scorers at all.. What you need to stay in the prem today is the firm hope that three other teams are worse than you.
Why didn’t I realise that? Wow, there’d have been no room in Mickos team for the Doog then, nor anyone with a spark of personality. Boring manager at aclub with no ambition, er well except perhaps a certain Mr Moxey who has an agenda slightly removed from the actual football, I think it’s called a pension plan.

A positive performance in the second half once the substitutes came on.
Adlene and Adam showed real intent it also seemed to bring improved performances from Jarvis and O’hara when they were brought on.
Doyle looked sharp had shot’s and got in the box.Doyle certainly put up an improved performance,hopefully this is a sign of things to come from him.
I have and will continue to maintain we are at our best when we are being positive and showing purpose and intent.
Jarvis is just so much more effective when forcing the play and show’s he can cause problems when allowed an attacking liecence.
Adlene,Hamill were both impressive,they were assertive,aggressive and wanted to give hell to the oppossition,they both showed ample skill also and some beautifull touches.
I would like to ram these facts down Mick’s throat.
Play players in form,let players play their natural game,play them in their natural positions,play the players that are showing form on match day’s not training!Hunt as been off his game for a few weeks yet is kept in the team as a passenger,Henry can and does break up play but he does not have much else to his game for this league,may be Mick if you have to keep him in the team then play him in defence.
Adlene can tackle,can shoot,pass and take players on so he as to start as long as he maintains form.
Defence as to be much stronger and composed changes need to be made,Foley and Zubar have to be in the team,these two can have their lapses but they are players who are intelligent calm and composed and would give us more fluidity as they can play also.
The only thing we take out of this game is that attack is the best option unless you are playing a top four side.

Report abuse

Mick we are losing anyway so what is the problem in changing things around?
Some of these players have had ample chances by the run in the team they have been given,now is the time to give Adlene,Hamill,Millijias,Foley,Zubar and Doherty the same chances and time.
We have to negate oppossition pressure by applying our own pressure.
Players like Stearmen,Berra,Johnson,Henry,Hunt,O’hara these players have shown they are out of form,they have had enough game’s to bring themselves to some semblance of form,it as not happenend,so Mick this is were you need to show your metal and equality by bringing in players who will give us some hunger and desire and give some of our players who think they are irreplaceable time to reflect and be given a break from the pressures of premiership football.
Apart from the Happy Clappers majority of the wolves fans have been asking for changes to be made and Mick you have remained unmoved and have atleast cost us 5 points with your ability of picking favourites.
I can and will not tolerate such obvious contempt for majority of the wolves fans who demand changes in playing staff.
At the end of the day it’s not about Doyle,Adlene Hunt as it is about Wolves the football team!

@15 I can’t take seriously comments from anyone who refers to this league as the EPL.

I read the predictable attacks on Stearman, Henry etc but let me point out some elephants in the room and uncomfortable truths.

Doyle is not good enough. There I said it. There can’t be a striker in this division with a weaker shot. And his goal tally year after year makes him a luxury.

In Johnson I just don’t see the player that has been hyped up either as a captain and a defender. He has been culpable to a greater or lesser degree for most of the goals conceded this year. In fact Berra is carrying him most of the time.

so open your eyes to the wider shortfallings before blaming everything on the usual suspects. Not that I am defending them either.

Report abuse

Doyle is absolute quality and was yesterday. He did actually score too, as the replays showed.

However, to me, Doyle is an attacking midfield player, to sit just behind the front two. Fletcher is a natural goal scorer but what we need is perhaps SEB playing alongside him.

Henry is hopeless and I’m afraid to say O’hara is heading the same way.

Back four all hopeless. Johnson sadly, has proved me right, that Scott Dann was the better of the two players by some margin.

Stearman is really poor, Ward, well, wardy is wardy, and that isn’t a defender.

Long long season ahead.

It’s shame we are trying to make Henry a scape goat. Much like Paul Butler. We’re mid table couple of wins a we will forget what this is all about. Henry is not playing well, it is Mick’s job to give him a break, same goes for Hunt. Hammill and Guede to start next game, and bring Zubes back.

What a frustrating game! Not just the Ref’s but not converting the chances we had… and we had many of them! The Ref’s were disgusting! it really frustrates me when a Ref can have such an impact on the game and it’s final outcome. They should be there to enforce the rules and nothing more, he may as well have had a black and white striped shirt on!

But we did fail to convert our chances and we should have won comfortably. There was some worrying times when we gave the ball away with silly mistakes such as Henry leading to the second goal! Can’t believe how the crowd cheered him off and Geudi on =)

It wasn’t as bad as people on here are saying we played some good footy and Newcastle hardly had possession! we were out playing them but just very unlucky in all areas of the game. It was a good atmosphere though the crowd were very noisy at the start and end I was screaming when our second goal went in. Can’t believe it was denied poor Doyle!

Hammill & Guedioura should start the next game defo! so much more energy when they came on it was a different game! and it wasn’t because Newcastle went off the boil, they were never on it! We should have won today but the bad omen is well and truly with us at the moment.

One more thing… anyone see Match of the Day? Doesn’t the new stand look a bit crap on the far side? massive concrete block where the disabled seats are going I think, but the wall is huge and look terrible in my opinion. Hopefully it will look better when finished but it is a huge concrete block where the cameras look a lot of the time.

Here we go again – the moaners are out in force.

The simple facts are:-
1. We deserved at least a point, as acknowledged by Pardew.
2. We should have had a penalty.
3. Doyle’s disallowed goal should have stood.
4. Their goalie played a blinder.

There’s nothing Mick (or anybody else) could have done about those four things, but change any one and we would probably have got something from the game. Just accept the fact that rotten luck happens sometimes and stop slagging off everybody in sight.

A creditable fight back and some BAD decisions BUT the game was lost with the second goal – when O’Hara literally gave the ball away he made no attempt to win it back and just watched Newcastle score and put the game out of reach. He’s looking like a flash in the pan and the flash has LONG gone.

I’m dissapointed as every one else is, but don’t loose that faith of our undefeated 1st 3 games when we’ll all saying top 10. It will come wright.

I flew over for the game and was deeply disappointed. We were inept in midfield. Conceded possession far too cheaply.

Doyle and Fletch were the bright spots, with Jarvo a constant threat, although only at 70%

What’s it going to take to sack thick Mick, before anybody starts on me for calling for his head, I’m a season ticket holder and I pay my hard earned money to keep watching defeat after defeat after defeat.
Mick keeps playing players who are not on form, and the defence is just as shocking as last season. If Mick thinks that he is happy with his players he needs to take a good hard look at himself, for a start I would drop O’Hara he needs a good bloody kick up the arse, he also needs to start players like Hammill and Guedioura, as for Milijas he ain’t even on the bench, I find that unacceptable he is a class player.
Mick you are starting to do my head in, the Numpties as Mick calls us have been crying out for Hammill and Guedioura to start matches, look what happened yesterday, they came on and changed the game.
Everybody can go on about the penalty decision and the disallowed goal, but the damage had already been done with the school boy defending.
I’m really fed up with the happy clappers, who are happy to watch this complete rubbish, where I sit in the South Bank a lot of fans are starting to turn against Mick, another few defeats and I think the fans will turn.
If he carry’s on picking the same team he started with yesterday then we are in for a tough season.
One last thing we need to know if in the close season was there any more money for Mick to buy players or was he told that signing the three players was all he could do, as I’m starting to think that Morgan won’t spend anymore money because of the stadium re build, I know he said the money has been put to one side for the new North Bank and would’nt affect buying players,but I think it has.
If we lose againt WBA who frankly are just as bad as us at the moment, I’ll expect Mick to be sacked on the following Monday morning.

Another fine mess Mick has got us into.

O’Hara has come through a footballing system which encouraes movement and quik passing, unfortunately, his talents are being wasted. Why? Henry,was he on the field of play? Whilst the referee and liesmen influenced the game, the los is down to the manager.The buck has to stop there, does he repent or apolagise, no, he believes in fairies

Only one player bought from last season means we are still a bottom six side so it’s in the lap of the gods if we stay up.
It’s time for a change. I felt that if we are still struggling come mid November we get another manager to give him time to decide what he wants and to have cash in January to get them. Martin O’neil really should be our target.

Why did we not get Dann from Brum. Why don’t we play at least one of our playmakers instead of the workhorses.

I think the stand is to blame. The only ambition is we stay up. With Norwich,QPR and Swansea clearly up for the fight, I don’t think we will.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Newcastle are a very good side who are in form. Attacking we played well and with so many close chances the scoreline could have been very different.

Henry started because he’s playings as a defensive midfielder and its important to keep things tight at first. Yes Guiddi could have started but then we’d have 2 attacking mid-fielders which leaves us wide open.

My criticism is with Mick. Why at 2-0 down at half time did he not make the sub then. No point staying defensive when were out of game at that point. We’d have had more time to get back in it and secure a point or 2.

HUNT doesnt bring anything to the table, attacking wise, he is good at winding the opposition up and running around trying to get the ball, but he is NOT a winger, poor touch, too slow, cant take people on, and poor crossing, HAMMILL!, on the other hand, good pace, good skill, can take people on, and has got a teriffic cross in his boots, and he’s not affraid to try a trick or two, if he doesnt start starting,… well…the only reason why he wouldnt be starting is because Mad Mick holds grdges against players after a bust up and plays his favourites, if u play your favourites before the better players, surely thats not a premiership manager, thats the problem with Mick, .. TOO STUBBORN!

What do people expect ?We were playing a team that finished well above us last year and who have strengthened areas of the team which were poor last year. We on the other hand have done virtually nothing. If the last match of the season against Blackburn didnt tell the people who run our club that our defence was nowhere near good enough then nothing would.We have now lost 4 of our last 5 home games and in all of them conceding 2 or 3 goals. The club are taking us for a bunch of idiots. In Saturdays match programme Moxey said and I quote ” it is perhaps untimely that we have picked up a few unfortunate problems in quick succession which may well have affected our early season form”.You couldnt make it up. And yet there are people posting on this site who actually believe this rubbish and think the club are making progress.
By my reckoning the club spent a net figure on transfers this year of approx £8,000,000. A pitiful amount considering it is our 3rd season in this division. I would like to ask Morgan 2 questions.
1 How much of his original investment of £30,000,000 has actually been spent.
2 What was the thinking behind spending a fortune on the ground when we cant fill it and the ream was clearly not good enough. Rant over

All of you ‘so called’ fans that booed on Saturday should hang your heads in shame! Booing one of your own?? There were worse players on the pitch on Saturday but I have and never will BOO ONE OF OUR OWN PLAYERS! Disgraceful! Lets get behind them at the Baggies and cheer them on instead of getting on their backs WOLVES AY WE!!!

JIWAL – do we really have to listen to this every week? So you predicted a loss – you ALWAYS predict a loss!

I suppose a win at Weat Brom would be a fluke and that we’re bound to lose when we play Swansea?

I notice that the other stories from Wolves camp today criticise the fans for booing. Perhaps the contributors of these stories including players and MM who between them earn vast amounts of money do not really understand true fans frustrations who can only voice their opinion on the day by either shouting or booing. The squad is clearly not good enough and whoever decided that is was should re-consider their position as a matter of some urgency. I am aware that sound finance is important but to improve the ground before the team is ridiculous.Far too much is said by the Executives about staying in the black and several successful clubs operate with a workable overdraft.
Steve Morgan has bought into a football club and to achieve success you have to spend money or end up like Coventry or Notts Forest with plenty of stadium capacity but no support. The defence is just not good enough and is three players short of improvement and I include the centre back playing alongside Roger Johnson who has been consistently been bad for 3 seasons but somehow gets picked. MM knows that a good defence is essential to both defend and support the midfield. Woeful.

Reading the comments i cant help but think we are generally guilty of over reacting.
A win or two and fans expectations go through the roof….and a defeat or two and its all doom and gloom.
Although difficult at times i try to get a balanced view and think our performances and state of play are somewhere inbetween.
Make no mistake there is room for improvement (isn’t there always?) but if you look at the bigger picture over a longer period than just 2-3 games i think there’s more reasons to be cheerful.

The squad is improving (steadily)
The club is financially sound
The stadium is improving
The academy is expanding….etc etc

Remember people Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Can we not be content with the above, have more patience, support the team from week to week win/draw or lose, and generally enjoy the steady progress being made at this fantastic club of ours?

PS…Whoever jeered or sarcastically clapped the substitution of Karl Henry aint supporting Wolverhampton Wanderers!….just saying.

Easy next game to bounce back. This is a test. There may be a certain amount of negativity and self doubt happening somewhere with 4 defeats. We will find out lots about the character of the team against S____. Last year we should have won. This year, go there and stuff ‘em boys.
