1 goal scored is yet more evidence that backs up my theory of it being completely down to confidence. Anyone who has ever played the game will tell you that no matter what anybody says to you, the only way you can truly get your confidence back is by earning it yourself.

Mick has done very little wrong with his tactics and playrs picked, but no matter who he picks, the results wont change without a bit fo confidence. Doyle looked a different player after he scored his goal, and when we got the equaliser, the whole team looked more confident. We need a win from somewhere to fully restore that confidence, and I fully believe that as soon as we restore that confidence, we will start flying again.

Milijas and Guedioura showed some decent attacking play, and surely at least one of them deserves a start. I would also consider dropping Henners as he is still not comunicating with the defence. at least 2 goals conceded in 6 consecutive matches shows that something is wrong at the back. I think a keeper with a little bit more experience could have easily prevented the first goal.

‘Well we got out of jail’, 1pt out of 18pts is relegation football, these are the teams McCarthy said judge us on? But yet again we’ve come up short,poor defending yet again allowed them to score their first goal, Johnson seemed to be the wrong way round, which made it hard for him to stop the goal, although i did think Wayne could have got out quicker,and maybe the ball may have hit him,and bounced away? The second goal was so simple left our entire defence flat footed for a simple tap-in. But what did make me angry, was when Hammill ( one if not our best player ) was substituted ,and the crowd booed MM, and McCarthy clearly shouted FXXX OFF to a section of the JH crowd. To me he ‘crossed the line’ supporters maybe ‘right/wrong’ but you never abuse the very people who support the club week-in week-out for life. As for O’Hara scoring to be honest he wouldn’t have scored, has i would have taken him off at half-time if not dropped him to start with. Vokes should have been given more time on the pitch, he did well when he came on, i said yesterday’he only ever gives him 10-15mins, give him a decent run say 6 games ,see what he can/cannot do for us? Looking at MM face ,i think it spoke volumes, he looks a broken man,devoid of ideas, as TC always looks and is clueless. Whilst im happy we got a point,make no mistake ,this was until we scored those two goals, a utter shambles, and just papered over the cracks, within our team/club. Id be interested to know what Morgan was thinking, after watching that display. I thought Karl Henry played well again ‘IMO’ but our whole defence are clueless,and we only played Swansea, who’ve just come up from the Championship, yet made us look like the Championship team for long spells of the game. Give JC and MD a game, they cant be any worse than that lot? UTW:

Even when we play badly you can count on the players to play with fight and passion, but today even that was missing, and for most of this game we looked like a group of players who weren’t interested. With the exceptions of Henry, Ward and Hennessy and maybe Hammill, nobody seemed to care and wolves fans won’t tolerate that attitude, hence the vitriol aimed at Mick and the team today. The substitutions seemed too late and inexplicable but at least we got a point against a poor swansea team.

If anyone takes solace from the fact Swansea tired and lost concentration, as newly promoted sides tend to do,you are more deluded than McCarthy; This is an appalling result for those of us who see MM’s exit as the only hope of the club progressing, in any case Swansea lost 2 points, not WWFC gaining one; If he thinks this will be a springboard, he is mightily mistaken, Wigan coming up, don’t they do the double over WWFC most years; where next for a point, Sunderland? If by December he has not gone,it will be too late, no manager of quality will take over with this squad in those conditions, they will be anchored to the bottom with a points return of 1 in 6, even below McCarthy’s historic return and then MM’S sycophants will demand he stays as the best option in the Championship;

It was poor, desperate and worrying, however we still scraped a draw.

Quarter of the season gone…………8 points not good enough.
We havent played Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and I dont think we can get the 9 points we got off these teams last year.

Much improved second half performance. Substitutions and change of tactics spot on from Mick. Playing two attacking wide players is a luxury we can’t afford with such an awful defence. The captaincy should be restored to the dependable Karl Henry, our best player again by a mile. Johnson is currently providing an awful example for the other players after such early promise. The defence has to be changed or we will be relegated. We just have to spend to improve in both penalty areas in January.

Why do people get so excited? Same team more or less for 4 years. Mick and the players have worked miracles! Mick has had no money to really IMPROVE the team/squad (Dave Jones Syndrome). Ok, some like Mick, some don’t but every team needs funding to improve (Tony Pulis and Stoke). Is Pulis really that good? Of course not but he has brought well when given the money. All the less funded teams will forever be fighting for survival, fact. These players give everything but even they know every player has thier level/peak, no shame in that. My worry is can or do the club want to invest smoothly (no knee jerk) like Stoke have or not? Is Mick comfortable that the club stands by this policy OR does not want to be a position where he has to be tested to rebuild a new side over time and judged on the signings he makes? Mick is top coach/bloke, he made the right subs today and he knows his players but he NEEDS a LOT of new ones. Over to KM and JM!

Dire for 82 minutes. MM was right to sub the 2 wingers, they did nothing for 68 mins. Guideora and Milijas injected some spark and we became a decent side again for 8 minutes.

1 point from 18 and we are still not in the bottom 3. Its still a long way to go and MM can turn this around but he needs to shore up the defence in January.

Hennessey – top class, no issues
Stearman/Berra – offload to championship at Christmas, raise 1-2 million
Zubar-back in
Ward-plays defence to end of season
Elokobi-give him another shot
Doherty – start him from now on
Craddock – on the bench
Johnson – we are stuck with him so lets hope he improves ., his clown act cost us the first goal
Buy 1 or 2 new Centre halves

We are looking at 17th place again , regardless of MM status we need to stay up, nothing else matters.

We have to start progressing ON the pitch we have just stood still seemingly for 3 years and now inexplicably we seem to be going backwards. Not good enough.

My God, when you’ve got to ‘celebrate’ a comeback against what is, in effect, nothing but a Championship side….well, heaven help us.

Grateful for the point? Oh, yes -absolutely. However, forget those final few minutes that saw Wolves salvage an unlikely draw and instead focus on the first 85 mins. We were hopeless. Not quite as crap as against QPR but not far off. It was embarrassing, humiliating, shocking and completely amateurish. Worse still, it was televised for the world and his dog to see.

Confidence (or lack of) is the serious problem here. Trouble is, if anyone out there thinks that Mick is capable of restoring it in big enough quantities, well, I’ll have some of that stuff you’re drinking or smoking.

You’ve bought yourself some time, Mick, but it’s only putting off the execution -ours, not yours, if you stay. Once you hit rock bottom as we have, I honestly don’t see how it can be reversed when the manager is so utterly predictable in every way.

Anyone who ‘trusts in Mick’ is fully entitled to their viewpoint but, I tell you, I’d seriously question whether they, themselves truly believe in that sentiment or -which is more likely, I’d say- they’re still living in eternal gratitude for our promotion season under him. This is 2011, not 2008, people.

Waiting for Mick’s departure is similar to waiting for major surgery at the dentists. Less pleasurable, though.

Report abuse

I have never been a MM knocker but sadly i feel he has taken us as far as he can.
The team needs a new manager in place with fresh ideas to stop the rot.
We were second best for most of the game and could have been about four down before our fight back. Swansea passed the ball with real purpose, while we looked predictable and lacking any creativity in breaking them down.
Our defending to put it mildly was a joke (again) and Stearman and Johnson were the biggest culprits.
Oh well, only Man City twice next up. Mancini was in the crowd today and must have been laughing his head off travelling back up the M6 at the thought of facing our defence.
Credit the players for the fight back but the future is’nt looking too rosy at the moment.

Mcarthy was well out of order telling the paying fans to Fxxx off today. He is a man under immense pressure and it shows! His team of misfiring, lacklustre, cluless, inept, unskillful shambles, are a disgrace to the shirt except for a few. Henry, imo, lived up to his name today, The Crab! Side pass, back pass, pass to the opposition, anywhere except through the channels get the front men going! Ohara looked hacked off today as well as Doyle. They seemed frustrated with the others. Doyle did not celebrate his goal! We seem to be flat footed in midfield. Whe Henry or Ohara get the ball, Hnery passes it sideways, Ohara is waving his hands looking around for a gold shirt to pass to. We should be putting teams like Swansea to bed but we made them look good. Our defence was bloody awfull. Berra the shirt puller, Stearman (tim nice but dim)is a waste of space, Johnson has fallen from grace big time! Ward is in a class of his own, he works tirelessly,Jarvis was non exitent today but why take Hamill off? MM deserved the boo’s, Everyone in that ground today, or so it seemed, wants MM gone!
Again the substitutes gave us much needed impetus. SEB didn’t do much an never got a look in. Wonder what Mr Morgan must be thinking now?! Time to order the tumble weed for the new ground! Get some loan signings now to help balance it out as come January 2012 no quality player will want to come.
The fans rebellion is gaining speed now and one point will not stem it Mr Morgan.
Mancini was there today, he must be laughing his head off! The next 4-5 games will seal our fate.

#53 – It was the Wolves fans signing ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’. About 12,000 of us!! We’re you at the game?

Mad Mick has to go! He’s had money to spend but has wasted it. How many players have been signed but never featured? Surman, Halford, The Hoff, Van Damme ….. et al. £10m+ wasted on players never given a chance. Then there’s the next bunch – Milijas, Hammill, Hunt, Fletcher … et al, only play occasionally £15m+ here Another £7m on Doyle who doesn’t score enough due to MM’s tactics £4m on Johnson who is looking awful but in fairness anyone would look bad playing alongside Berra who couldn’t be trusted for the run in last season. MM would rather play his championship team. 7 Championship players started today even though over £30m has been spend by MM suposidally strengthening the team and squad, I think not, money wasted!!

MM has to go but I suspect Morgan will stick with him as he only appears o be here for the profit! Profit will be down when MM takes us down though!

Very POOR.
MM as to go he is losing his marbles completely,calling him a numpty is giving him too much praise.
I like many of the fan’s are extremely thankful for the “SHIFT” he has put in as our manager.
He as given us some great times and lots of enjoyment but the road as ended for him.
Sitting in the stand I saw a young lad “CRYING” when we went two down,it was heartbreaking to see such a young lad “CRY” inconsolably, the players should be made to sit and watch this lad for an hour.
That should bring home what the club means to the fans.
Every “WOLVES” fan is of the opinion that we should be doing better,no one is suggessting winning the league or even being in the top 10!We are not even asking to make the final of a cup!We just want our team too remain in the premiership and do so by playing football.
It really is that simple,we certainly dont have the worst set of players,a few other teams beat us to that.
SWANSEA had not won for 26 games away from home yet they made us look so poor.!
This is not about confidence as how can one explain the start we had and were we are know!?
MM as divided the team,Karl Henry should have remained the captain,Karl is not a very good player,but what he lacks in skill and class he makes up by “EFFORT”!
Johnson I am afraid as none of the above,in truth JOHNSON is one player who should not be in the team.!
Johnson is very poor at best and is a poor standard bearer for the team.
I am not at all surprised has he is one of the players that had rejected joining us earlier.JOHNSON is just a greed fuelled individual.
Doyle was and as been poor all season yet is rewarded with a contract extension!
Doyle is however a “GOOD” player,all I will say to DOYLE is do what you did in the last ten minutes of the game in everygame!Play to score.
Milijias Adlene and Hamill performed well,they showed patches of playing football,Milijias can get the ball to stick to his feet.
The new Manager as too give them a good run in the team.
Stearman is also a good player,I feel sorry for him as “MM” is playing him in a position that makes him look poor.Yet “MM” cant see this surely “MATT” must play in that position he cannot do any worse.
MM is consistent in two things “LOSING” “PICKING PLAYERS OUT OF FORM”!

We deserved nothing today, very lucky to get a point but so glad we got it! Again we go 2 nil down… when we let a goal in we switch off and get so nervouse the players are scared to put a foot wrong so become very hesitant which is why we booed the team for standing around ball watching and then left the gap open for the second goal!

Rubbish players today: Johnson, Stearman, o’hara, Henry and Doyle. Johnson just struts around like the big man but in reality he’s slow and big headed and hates the fans! Stearman WHY kick the ball out for a corner when a simple kick to the sideline was needed. Henry slows the play down to defensive and hesitant and cannot pass the ball at all… Now Doyle did score but it was a toe poke in the 6 yard box luck! all match he was running into dead ends and get pushed around. O’hara very frustrated player, falls to the floor and smacks the grass several times to vent his anger but unfortunatly his frustration makes him a worse player. Johnson just irritates me now I don’t like him at all.

Funny seeing fans leave early and miss both goals =)

MOXEY! attendance today was 25k…. it was on Sky Sports so by your thinking should it have been low attendance today? infact it was quite good today. Hopefully this breaks our loosing streak now and we can start again, maybe we can get a result from Man C like last year… I hope so but a win against Norwich is a must.

Anybody in their right minds would have brought Milijas and Adlene on at the beginning of the second half. Hammil should have remained with Henry going off IMO along with the ineffective Jarvis. And if not Henry, then O’Hara should have been replaced. This manager has cost us the loss of the last 18 points and you think he’s worth saving?

I’m as pleased as anyone that we managed to salvage something out of this game. Most folks who know a little about football realise that Swansea aren’t a bad side and pass the ball very well. Far better than Wolves. Playing high tempo and closing down players is hard work and against top side, they’ll pass the ball around you. I do not put Swansea in that bracket and once we started to close them down we forced mistakes. This is where the goals came from not MM tactical genius. I support the team and never boo, but as a paying lifelong fan deserve an opinion without being accused of being a poor supporter.
I think MM is honest and should be credited with what he has done. However, I do think he has taken the team as far as he can, at least with the money made available. Unless the owner and board will release funds for a new manager (and I think they are more interested in building the stadium. Can someone tell me if the owner has connections with the firm doing the work)there is no point changing MM. Just prepare for the Championship.

You anti Mick morons have not got half a brain between you, if we bring in a new manager – do you really think “he is not going to play the same players” do you really think that he will get the millions to put it right, you say get O’Nelly – well one of the things he was accused of at the Villa was playing his “Favorites”,and walkout on your club Hughes – just like doddle,and you say we have no ambition, no quality, the only place we lack ambition and quality is on the TERRACES!

Wow, that was as poor of a performance as I’ve ever seen from a home team. Saved by a poor refereeing decision for the corner and the fact that Swansea thought they had the game won.

This might be the little bit of luck Wolves need to turn their season around. But then it might be the little bit of luck the other relegation candidates need as Mick will undoubtedly keep his job.

Richard – so Wolves present demise is because McCarthy has had a lack of money to buy the necessary players but is a top coach. How much money did Swansea spend on their squad, yet they played us off the park for much of the match. It is possible to survive in the Premiership on limited funds but this involves getting the best out of the players in terms of management, motivation, organisation, tactics etc.

Listened to Radio 5 last night and the lady and gentleman who regarded McCarthy as a fantastic manager and i couldn’t believe what i was hearing. Worse still was the last match of last season being referred to as ‘exciting’. Oh yes it was exciting alright and we stayed up, but it was nothing to do with McCarthy. His contribution was to send out a team who were like rabbits in headlights and were 3-0 down by half time.

Last season we signed Fletcher – a player with a bit about him. How long did it take for stubborn Mick to actually give him a proper run in the team. Unless i am mistaken it the last two months of the season and his goals were pricelss.

Lets face facts, he probably has the worst record of any Premiership manager. Statistics like that don’t lie. He got us promoted and i thank him for that and he occasionally makes me laugh on Match of the Day. But his team selections, tactics, man management and pure stubborness are dragging the club down. He’s taken Wolves as far as he can and there are manager out there who can do better. But lets not automically go for a big name – why not bring in a young and hungry manager from a lower league.

What concerns me is that Steve Morgan came with the tag of a footballing man, having been brought up watching Liverpool. If this is the case, can he really be happy watching this week in week out, in the hope that Mick is magically going to turn things around. As has been referenced, Mick split the fans at Sunderland and Jez bled Stoke dry. I love Wolves too much to see this happen at Molineux and i hope Steve Morgan not only loves Wolves enough to do something or at least to make a cold business decision to change things.

It’s impossible to make sense of it all. The football dished up yesterday was dire, it simply had no place on any Prem pitch. Swansea weren’t great but were made to look like Barcelona. Even though the manager and his staff are clearly out of their depth in the Prem, any players on the books ought to be able to put in a better team performance than that.
Over to you Mr Morgan. Maybe a one division drop is something you can live with, maybe promotion came a bit earlier than you thought it would, but something has to happen and soon, or the financial loss relegation represents and fall out from any decent players we do have not wanting Championship football, may make the drop a long-term situation, and that surely can’t be an attractive proposition?
Well done to those fans attending yesterday, you deserved the two late goals having shown stoicism of a high order, and that despite being called numpties and morons etc before being told to ‘eff off’.
It seems the drop in standards in matters concerning Wolves is not restricted to those aimlessly kicking the ball about.

Calm down folks. We finally got a point we didn’t deserve. When I jeered the Henry substitution a couple of weeks back,I didn’t expect him or MM to be happy about it but it does seem to have had the desired effect on Henry at least. I wasn’t jeering the substitutions on this occasion because it was clearly a waste of time persevering with wingers whilst we’d got Doyle and SEB in the middle. In the circumstances, I can understand fans getting frustrated when they see players having worse games staying on but the bigger picture was that we needed to try something different. You can’t expect to abuse an individual under pressure and then expect them to take it lying down. And when the substitutions turn the game you should have the good grace to accept that the manager got it right. Some people were calling for McCarthy’s head even as we were getting promoted as champions and they are ready to jump on any opportunity to get him out. It’s notable that when we play well and lose people are only interested in the result and when we play badly and get a result they are only interested in the performance. We don’t have the budget to sign the best players or pay them the best wages. The best we can hope for is what we’ve got: A manager who brings in budget players and gets them to work really hard. In those circumstances we might get relegated with any manager. We should expect to be a yo-yo club but we’ve managed to stay up twice and got ideas above our station. And now we are we obsessed with sacking the manager who has got us here, has proven he can keep us here and, if the worst happened, would be top of the list to get us back?

What on earth is going on at the molinuex at the momment. As poor as the team are playing do we really think that by hitting the panic button and venting our disgust are going to help????.
All we are achieving is destroying the unity and spirit of what if nothing else are honest hard working players. This was evident yesterday, where as many have said, the players lost the fighting spirit. What do you expect these human beings to do when after 12 minutes into the game, sections of the fans can be heard chanting and groaning at them. Yes they get paid well, but the game is played in the head as much as the feet and playing with no confidence does not promote good football.
We need to stick together, get behind the players and trust the management team, who have steered us through the darkest times, HODDLE anyone!etc, no i didnt think so!We are still a PREMIERSHIP TEAM and will be come the end as long as we support the boys and lead them into the battle with a strong voice and bums on the seats.

A few fans on here complaining about MIck’s reaction to their goading. Given some of the vile abuse he gets on these boards, and the derision he gets at some of your games, I personally don’t blame him. You can’t spend an afternoon hurling abuse at someone then complain when they give it back. At least it shows he cares.

You might not think he’s the man to take the club forward, which is a fair point, but he’s still the only manager to drag your club into the PL and he’s kept you there. Perhaps he deserves a little more dignity than what he’s currently being shown from a large section of your ‘support’.

I have been a Wolves fan since 1960 and in the 51 years I have been SUPPORTING (key word there, ‘SUPPORTING’) the Club I have been through every emotion possible from the euphoria of promotions, League Cup successes, a UEFA Cup final etc to the dark, dark days of the 80′s when we not only dropped to Division 4 (League 2 as now) but almost went out of existence more than once and were playing in a ground wth 2 sides shut and gates of barely 2,000. I think I am therefore pretty well qualified to comment on the current state of affairs. So here are my views:
1 If your only reason for turning up at Molineux is to hurl abuse at what is supposed to be ‘your’ team then PLEASE stay away. For ever.
2 If you are the sort of ‘supporter’ who walks out long before the end of a game because we are losing then PLEASE stay away. For ever. (Suggest you go and ‘support’ someone else, probably whoever is winning at the time?)
3 Since 1976 by my reckoning we have had 16 different managers – am counting Sammy Chapman twice – from the bizarre (Graham Taylor) to the abysmal (Glenn Hoddle) and apart from Graham Turner aka the miracle worker Mick McCarthy is by far and away the best manager we have had. He is a perfect ‘fit’ for us, passionate, committed, honest, hard-working and despite the vocal army of moaners at the moment he is a brilliant manager.
4 Do the anti-Mick brigade have such short memories that they forget the Hoddle induced shambles that Mick inherited? To be where we are after 5 years is an immense achievement.
5 Who pray would the mindless idiots calling for Mick’s head want as manager? Steve McLaren? Sven? Ince? Doubt they even know as they obviously lack the intelligence to know a good thing when they see it.
6 Karl Henry has been our most consistent player over the past 5 years and is quite rightly the first name on the teamsheet. He is what Wolves are all about and those who cheered his substitution at the New castle game should PLEASE stay away. For ever.

There is not too much wrong with the team at the moment – we could have drawn at Liverpool if the referee had seen Carroll’s foul on Johnson and would have beaten unbeaten Newcastle had we not been cheated by Halsey TWICE. In players like Hammill, Jarvis, Hunt etc we have good wide players. In Doyle, Fletcher and SEB we have good forwards – we need a 4th – and in Henry, O’Hara & Milijas we have good central midfielders. Hennessey is one of the best keepers in the Premier League. Where we do have problems is in defence. Personally I think we should have ditched Berra as soon as promotion was secured in 2009 and continuing to play such a liability is an error I feel. Equally our insistence on playing non-full backs at full back is wrong. Stearman and Ward are NOT full backs. The combination of playing Berra and two non-full backs is exposing Johnson and making our back 4 look vulnerable.

Other than that PLEASE keep the faith! COME ON YOU WOLVES!

Our poor defence is costing the confidence of the whole team. Stearman who I rate at CH is a poor mans right back. Stephen Ward along with Hennessey are the only two who can hold their head high. In midfield Henry looks the weak link, teams realise that if they stop Ohara they stop Wolves playing. Adlene surely needs to start in place of henry with either Hunt or Milijas playing behind Doyle.

Overall MM is frustrating supporters with his team selections and patterns of play. Playing injured out of form is sending the fans in the stands over the edge. With MM reportedly swearing (not confirmed)at fans on Saturday it could signal a swift end. It appears the season is set for another nail biting finale.

Agree with che wolf (78).

Mick has done a good job, the ‘fans’ who chant, “you don’t know what you’re doing” do so before the changes take effect – we get a point. Even though I concede before the game I would’ve been disappointed with a draw.

I agreed with the Henry sub against Newcastle but I certainly didn’t sarcastically cheer at his departure.

People forget this is the man who took us up from the championship, kept us up and then improved on the points tally from that season.

When confidence is low and you’re on a poor run fans turning on the manager and team will never help. As a supporter I am supporting my club, board, manager, and players.

78..Che Wolf……and you’ve been to all the games of course ? What we observed yesterday was utterly awful. Swansea were robbed. We were out played until the last 10 minutes then they threw it away. Mick has no idea of what to do. Yesterday he took off one of our better players in Hammill – why ? Then having taken off both wingers he brings Vokes on in place of SEB !! I’m sorry the man has no idea at the moment. I am grateful and will always be grateful for what he has done for this club but enough is enough.
On a brighter note though I thought Henry had a very good game yesterday (and most of you will know how I feel about Henry !!). Fair play to him yesterday – he was like the man who did so well for us in the Championship.

Anyone on here regularly will know I have been backing Mick through thick and thin for years. We owe him a tremendous debt and it disgusts me that people abuse him and TC.

However the display yesterday appalling. Ironically Henry was probably our best outfielder. The two goals conceded were both appalling defending. Johnson’s decision for the first was bizarre. For the second Berra was too far upfield and O’Hara too lazy to track his man. Confidence is at an all time low, but the players to seem to start games well until (usually after about 10 minutes!) we let a goal in. I honestly think if we had lost yesterday Mick would have gone. The reaction in the southbank to the Doyle goal was very mixed and I got the feeling that many people thought that a defeat was a price worth paying if he went.

I am worried now that we have reached the stage where the atmosphere is so poisonous that there is no choice but for the club to move on. Board wan’t go, players won’t go, so only one way to change. Defeat next week and we are back with a huge pressure game v Wigan, playing a much better team than Swansea.

74. Ludlowwolf….No he didn’t save us a point. Swansea threw away two points. people were not happy with Hammill coming off because he had played pretty well.

I’m certain Mick McCarthy is suffering from delusions. And quite typically of people with this condition he refuses to acknowledge it to be the case. I refer to the idea he has that the crowd booed Karl Henry being substituted as boos directed not at himself but at Karl Henry, something which has been clarified many times over on this noticeboard.
Now McCarthy has the temerity to suggest his substitutions against Swansea were an example of his astuteness:

“It seems my substitutions were hopeless, I got that all wrong and was just very fortunate.”

The truth is, he WAS very fortunate and that’s all he was. Not clever, not intelligent, just fortunate. He thinks he got it right. Says it all. The man is only good enough, like half of his first team players, to be above average level for the Championship. The sooner he is gone, the sooner Wolves fortunes can be turned around.
Mick McCarthy has publicly stated he is satisfied with his squad. Really?

“There were loads of things that went wrong with the goals we conceded but I’m not going to stand here and analyse them all,” he said.

No, as likely as not he won’t, otherwise he might just discover the truth about how inadequate players are poorly coached by his own staff and that maybe, just maybe, the one they call the gaffer, could be the one at fault.

How can you be a football fan and have so little grasp of what’s going on.

And who was it said at the start of the season that he was happy with the squad he had and that they were capable of mid table.I can’t even remember how many players MM has brought and let go without giving them a chance,e.g. Muyukolo . MM has had 5 years and the team is a shambles the man has no idea if that’s not obvious by now your deluded. Look at West Brom , N’castle , Stoke etc two of them have changed their manager in the last 18 mths and there still miles ahead of us . I have seen almost all the games this season and our defence /organisation is none existent.MM’s premier record speaks for it’s self what makes anybody think that all of a suden he’s going to massively improve this awful record , in his 3 previous seasons in the prem has his record improved significantly ?

Show me something special; you’ve got to be joking. There was nothing out there but 11 men scared to take control and looking at others to do something. Game plan…nothing, Swansea walked through us and we didn’t know what to do, but they did. Captain never speaks to his players. The team all turn their back on a goal keeper not expecting a short ball to build possession through defence. It was so sad to watch. And nothing done at half time. Then the subs. I’ve never seen the crowd turn on a manager like that. Not even the last home game for graham Taylor, McGhee, Hoodle. That was quite frightening, but we were so so poor so poor. And watching the manager inept. AND even after the subs, what was the game plan, the players looked lost, Henry not Johnson went for instructions. And Swansea were celebrating before the final whistle and we get a tap in then they lose their discipline and we snatch something. After all we have done, I still cannot believe what i saw played on the pitch. Complete lack of confidence and belief. AND AND , I was in that crowd , all of us in the south bank behind the team at the beginning, all shouting and wanting it. For the first time I think I’ve seen MM loose the plot, because tactics and plans and doing homework and communicating that are needed as well as blood and guts and shifts and honesty. The next level we do not possess, keep spending and the win ratio doesn’t go up……start asking questions. And for godsake, drop the out of form players, let them dig deep into their souls to come back and fight, because it must be awful sitting on the bench wondering what you need to so to get a look in , especially when they play better after coming on and the favourites drop right back in and you come on again to rescue their #### ups.

I don’t think Henry had a good game at all. He did a few good things but he also wasted some attacking play by shoddy attempts at long distance shooting and I counted at least 5 direct passes to Swansea players. I don’t care about how well he played for the rest of the game that’s inexcusable for a so called regular Premiership central midfielder. Every pass should be spot on.

Yet again no apparent plan B and this has always been the case. Unless we score first we are going to lose. At 2-0 a least one sub should have come on at half time. not 25-30 mins later when the game is coming to an end.

Why take Hammill off he was our best player?
Why is Guedioura still not starting?
Why after 5 defeats are we still starting with the same defence? (With the exception of Ward at QPR)
Why are so many of our players getting injured outside of games?
Why didn’t we strengthen our defence more in the transfer window?

I dont know about some of us who would like to see a change of management having short memories maybe its because we have LONG memories. The time to make changes is now while there IS still time for a new managment team to do something. Its no good waiting till we are so behind any half decent managers or players would want to come! This is the second club MM has been in charge of in the top flight and while he was’nt backed financially by Sunderland up untill this season he has been by Wolves. Was he saying he was happy with his squad just to deflect lack of more funds in the summer? It is not clear to see that we needed a LB,another CB, why not the partner he played well with at brum? MF, and a real consistant goalscorer? and if it was the board then they should be straigt with us paying fans. I renewed my two season tickets even though i knew i couldn;t realy afford them and the cost of traveling up from Cornwall, in the hope we would consolidate this season. With the redevelopment aswell it seemed exiting times but i’m afraid we need to be very brave financially to get us to the levell this club deserves to be at.

I was away at the weekend and so only watched the recording when I returned home yesterday .
The performance , like so many recently , was abysmal and it is very difficult ro see what can possibly go on on the training ground . Every week players rush to the press to tell us how they have watched the errors and how they are working to eradicate them only for exactly the same errors to occur again . The manager , a centre half when playing , does not seem to be able to judge the type of player he wants for that role at the club . He initially , on his arrival , tried to get rid of Jody Craddock only ro be forced to change his mind at a later date . He has since bought Darren Ward , Jason Shackell , Ronald Zubar , Christophe Berra , Steven Moyoukolo and Richard Johnson while also trying previously , but not when he was available recently , Scott Dann . He has failed to give the likes of Danny Batth a chance here but has still failed to fill the position adequately . I also found his interview to be insulting to fans who have a long and very intense love of the club and his attitude is permanently that HE and HE alone is the professional and we are , in his words , the numpties . His only coaching or mptivating appears to be geared towards ‘ putting in a shift ‘ and this in the league we are in is laughable .

McCarthy has been quick to get rid of players who got us to the Premier League on the basis that they weren’t up to it

Well McCarthy may have got us up but on the evidence of a couple of campaigns he isn’t much cop at this level

Why not ask him to take the same medicine he dishes out to players he deems not good enough for this level and go find his level in the Championship

Man city hammered UTD yesterday! Oh My God! We are playing them twice this week! It doesn’t bear thinking about the score line but, sorry to be pesimistic just being realistic, i don’t think it’s going to be nice. City are very hungry for cups etc and they will be taking any scalps they can! Hope we can pull something out of MM’s Bag, if he’s still here, but i’m not hopefull. I will be there supporting our club and always will but times are grim.
UTW.

Man City next… :-( Twice :-(

Not looking forward to that.

As for Saturday I was suicidal at about 2:30. So I have never been more ecstatic about a point.

Another rollercoaster ride of a season ahead…

Good subs or not, again we started with the wrong line up
He really doesn’t know what he’s doing!!

231 – I haven’t got a short memory either, KHLF. Wolves fans who are currently under fire for daring to complain about awful performances, results and highly suspect ‘value for money’ trips to Molineux these days are, as it happens, the very same fans who lifted the roof for 90 mins while having to endure a 0-6 mauling at home to Southampton. Remember the superb plaudits our fans got for their truly amazing support? Molineux was surreal that day. Certainly, I don’t recall experiencing anything quite like it before.

So, we need to ask ourselves what’s changed in the 4 years that have elapsed since that game against the Saints. As we have exactly the same supporter base in place today, then the problem obviously lies with the club itself.

Simple logic, methinks.

I see our Captain is having a bash at the fans again today in the press. While he may have a point that the some fans may have been a bit ott towards MM (and another lacklustre display) i wonder how he would like to justify his own inadeqate performance? After a promising start he now seems to have lost his leadership skills as well as any football skills. Maybe he is now being shown up for what he was last season…the weaker link of a cenrtal defensive duo!!! No way to win the fans of your new club over is it???

I am astounded even if it is only a handful that are calling the true fans “NEGATIVE”!
98% of WOLVES fan’s can not be wrong.
MICK is a “LOSER” otherwise how can one only win “”25 GAMES”" Out of a staggering “”127″” and “TALK” as if we are winning every game.
Mick brought us up, we all recognise this “FACT”.We also recognise the areas that he is not able to improve on hence the same debates continue for the last 2.5yrs.
MICK thank you for your efforts but seriously you are now at a stage were you have no where to go other than the “EXIT”.
I am not even going to waste my time too explain where you are constantly going wrong,98% of the fans have voiced their thoughts through various sources.
Yet you and a half dozen of wolves fans cant see what is wrong.

Johnson is no Captain,Craddock in and Doherty in.

Roger johnsen is a premiership defender, it’s the fact hes playing with with a championship defence! (bar ward) and its showing!! I would of thought mick being an ex defender would be able to sort out the back four, but obviously not, but with that do we even have a defensive coach??????

Also for Mr Mick.
You can stay if you want but if you do…can someone show you where your players actually play??
Can someone pick the team for you?

Can we actually judge the team on where the players are supposed to play?? you may be a great manager when the team is correct and out of form players arent picked ahead others.

Then at the end of the match you can give the press another hilariously witty gobload.

lane – Although i agree that some players are on way too much. They do in fact work more than 90 minutes a week as they train every day aswell. They also have to change the way they live to play football, by eating correctly and living healthy, which is something not expected in manay normal jobs.

The most important thing is though, Its a job that not everyone can do, most jobs a complete novice can walk into, other jobs, may require a bit of training but once the training is done anyone can do it. Football is completely different. Your local pub beer belly fan cant just decide one day he wants to be a premier league footballer. You have to devote your life to it from a very early age, and that is why the players are paid considerably more than you or me.
