Hope Fletcher is fit we need him. Edwards seems injury prone to put it mildly. Hardly what I would call in-form though. Runs around and works hard with little end result. Unfortunately it seems to me that is MM’s game plan. Hoof it and run after it. Need max points desperately against Stoke and Norwich but after comparing there performances to ours over the weekend we could be in big trouble. Ah well he’s hoping christmas comes early for us. A new manager would be nice as well.

Was at Old Trafford, a great experience.

Wolves went for it, Edwards and OHara and bombing forward and getting caught wrong side when we attacked leaving us wide open.

Fair enough, we had a go, but i wouldnt read too much into it in relation to any other game.

Great day, hopefully we will have another crack next year.

Ha! I was thinking exactly the same thing! In order to be “in form” don’t you have to have an extensive run of peak performances? Now, I’m no expert statistician but I’m quite sure our recent results don’t show anybody scoring 9 out of 10 week in, week out…

Nice to see that Henry can walk back into a winning team no questions asked when everyone else would have to wait.

I am concerned that every game we are getting these knocks and niggles yet despite appearing to have a good depth in our squad we are struggling to handle it despite being reasonably injury free compared to some other teams in the league. Notably up front. We have 3 decent strikers yes but all it will take is 1 one them to get injured (and injured they have been) and all of a sudden were forced into a 451 situation or be left with no cover on the bench. Ward is in too good a form to be taken out of our defence so that isn’t an option. We need a 4th striker and we’ve had to resort to using one a number of times already so why oh why did we let Vokes go out on loan.

If Edwards is ‘in form’ then I dread to think what he would be like out of form!

I am afraid that again we have the manager trying to build a team around Edwards, this has to be wrong, he has been plagued with injury and when he has played subbed or dropped, we are in a fight for points and we still do not have a settled midfield, this is why the defence is under so much pressure and the attackers when he plays them are not getting the service required.

I know there is again the debate about Henry, this is entirely due to McCarthy with his stupidity with this player.
To the fans who think he is doing a good job, if you look at him in most matches he jogs along chasing the play after it has gone past him, with no urgency, some of his yellow cards have been collected when trying to redeem himself.

It is the Managers fault for putting him on the pedestal, and not having the guts to admit he is wrong.

At least so far he hasn’t commented on how well he has played.

As far as I am concerned on current form he is not worth his place.

Man Utd would have easily beaten most teams in that form but the defence and midfield – with the exception of Jarvis, who was back to his best – were not at the races. Doyle was also non-existent! Let’s put things into perspective though. Man Utd’s team cost £170m and ours £30m.
Team for Saturday should be:-

Hennessey Zubar Johnson Berra Ward Hammill Henry Milijas O’Hara Jarvis Fletcher

Even if both players had been injury free for all of the match it would have been highly unlikely that we would have got anything out of the game. Getting them off the pitch as quickly as possible was the sensible decision.

The priority in my view was to make sure as many of our squad are fit to face the next two games. Personnally I would not have critisised McCarthy had he picked a second string team as he did a couple of seasons ago.

I think it’s far more important this season for Wolves to beat teams who are not in the top six. Last season we failed to beat a number of relegation rivals and consequently made our own task of survival harder than it should have been. We cannot afford to repeat that again.

Dave ‘sicknote’ Edwards- he will newver rech his full potential as he is obviously made of glass!!

We desperately need 6 points out of 6 now… That would put us in a good position going into Christmas…

UTW!!!

@16 Sir Billy

Yep, to be entirely fair and dandy, nobody mentioned Mick in this case, rather the sudden outbreak of “in form” players that we seem to be enjoying at the moment. Jarvis, I notice, is in “blistering form” right now. Whoever knew?

Hammill Right side, simple. The boy runs at defenders which they hate, look what he did against Sunderland, so didn’t why Mick didn’t bring him on?? beats me!

ha ha….numpties

*16 sir billy

just shows your lack of undestanding!

MM has created a team of untouchables…these players believee the hype that mad mick has spun around them.
1. Ward – bought as a striker, played as a winger, now a left back – never dropped after poor performances and now shockingly looks average…how bad are the other players then?

2. Doyle – Mr invincible – super shift, never gets the appreciation he deserves – OMG £6mil for a average work horse bought as a striker – How many goals has he scored?

3. Henry – hahaha first name on the sheet, HELLO – mad mick is now questioning his own sanity!

4. Johnson – Captain courageous, never misses a game??? Never defends well more like – £6 to £7 mill for Johnson, blues are laffing all the way to the bank – Oh but Johnson blames the fans for the teams demise!!!!

5. Ohara – Midfield dynamo with flare – the only one I will hang judgement on because of the illness of his child – BUT should he be playing then?

6. Berra – Quality centre half with pace…?? I think best suited as rugby player or wrestler – slower than a tugboat turning, but still not as slow as Johnson and £3mil cheaper

7. Hunt – the fiery winger we have been missing – I’m sorry but is he still missing, I haven’t seen him for the last few games – was in the team though

8. Edwards – box to box midfielder with an eye for a goal….erm – please visit specsavers

9. Elokobi – left back….left back at the gym to build himself up…what is all that about?

10. Mouyokolo – Centre half footballing defender….that good he has gone after 2 games…

Mad Mick has wasted so much money and knocked the confidence out of the quality players that deserve a run or have deserved a run – Milijas, Jarvis, Hammill, Fletcher, Blake, Guediourra – What have these guys gotta do to get a game?

MM time to go…..please
