BSD. No matter as PL status is vital.

I’d rather Wolves move on from this practise match and get 3 points against Villa which is now more vital than any Cup game this year.

So come on you Wolves – just a bad day in the office. Move on and win. the next one.

So if Wolves win come Saturday then Mad Mick was not so mad on Wednesday night but right on the night.

Mick needs to realise you have to earn the right to win games, you need to develop a cutting edge. Irrespective of which players he chooses – the tactics deployed are consistently the same – negative. Who is to blame for that MM or Connors we can just guess but this situation has been going on since Wolves drew at Villa at the beginning of the season and that is just this season – have the previous 2 seasons been any better. Ultimately though the buck must stop with Morgan and whether he thinks this is acceptable. I know what most Wolves fans think if they are being honest with themselves and that is most definitely no. Why can other teams coming up from the Championship deal with this league with far more comfort than Wolves have been able to – perhaps the quality of the manager!!

I watched the game on TV and was so pleased i did not go to the game – it was dire….. the only creible performance in my opinion was the youngster De Vries – Doherty – Stearman – and Bera (even with that one schoolboy error that gifted Blues and great opportunity)the rest were woefully inadequate.

i think the coaching and tactics we are emplying are not getting the best out of the players – and some of them and below standard as well. BUT WE SHOULD be able to do a lot beter that we did in both games agains the Blues – it was worse than parks football.

Something as to change – it was a disgraceful performance

Fair point Stout Wolf.

I booked a day off just to watch the babbies on tele I was all buzzing for it only managed to see the boys play away in london this season due to where now live.

I have never seen a dull underachieving display of any team no passion scared to make an attack it seemed we were the away team even when the blues had 9 men on the pitch we couldnt mount an attack too many loose balls going awol.

I think its unfair pointing 1 or 2 players out we need to point at all of them mostly mick im afraid morgan you need to act now if one of your manangers messed up for your building firm you would get rid for loosing you money same with mick hes loosing fans and our place in the league.

Now I’d say we have a better squad quality wise than Swansea but boy do I wish we employed the same tactics as them. That is where we fall short. Instead of building from the back we regularly bypass the midfield with long balls up to 5ft strikers which invariably ends up with us giving the ball away and coming under pressure. If the fans can see this then why not the manager? Since we got promoted (even though we have survived) the football has progressively been getting worse every season. If the product isn’t attractive then why would fans dream of paying top whack for tickets after a week of hard work? I’m not a fan of sacking managers but I just can’t see in which direction (apart from down) we are going. Surely the next stage is comfortable survival, and I’m not sure the current set-up can guarantee us this. Well played Doherty btw, after weeks of suffering stearman when foley/zubar were out why wasnt he playing? Just shows if given a chance the youth are eager to impress. UTW.

What a load of rubbish ,every game should be important, last night just shows how weak wolves are without serious competition for places. Also it’s a big ‘if’ we beat villa . there has been enough talk of what is lacking i.e. ideas, imagination,skill ,desire and heart. In my opinion chelsea’s decline started when Ray Wilkins left. He would do a great job for Wolves bye bye Mick.

Took this from the E & S article about Blues after last nights win…

“Elliott’s second-half effort settled what was, due to their Europa League commitments, the 36th game Blues have been involved in already this season. They will now visit Sheffield United in the fourth round and will play a minimum of 58 matches during the current campaign”.

So Blues beat us despite trying for promotion and playing 36 games already – this just makes any Mick excuse look pathetic.

A winner is a winner – and Mick aint a winner – he is a bag of excuses and sound bites.

Wish we had Houghton – he is a proper manager.

most worrying aspect for me is the total lack of confidence in key players like Doyle and Blakes, what on earth is going between matches,cleary the backroom arent working close enough with individuals.The sorry state is that many of these players are “shot to pieces”,this must come back to tatics and team formation.There appears to be a major requirement of a real MAN MANAGER who can lift and mentally stimulate this group of players.

If the Management have one brain between them at board leval, they will dispatch Moxey to london immediately with a lucrative offer for Neil Warnock, the recently departed QPR Manager, to take the helm at Wolves.

Neil Warnock is no ‘blushing violet’ and like McCarthy speaks his mind at the drop of a hat, but, the one big difference is Warnock has a good football brain and is one of the very few available to get Wolves out of this shocking mess.

“everyone of them were premier league players”This comment demonstrates what is wrong with the people running our club.IE they think the players are better than they actually are. I am sorry Mick ,but just because they represented the club in the premiership doesnt mean they are good enough to play at that level. Hunt,Elokobi,Stearman,Milijas,Hammill,Ebanks Blake are just not good enough.Correct me if I am wrong but 8 of the players who started against Spurs were playing for us in the championship and it is clear we have made hardly any progress in the last three seasons.
Who is to blame for this complacency? I dont know ,but it is clear we need a couple of quality players before 31st January.In view of what Morgan has said recently I wouldnt bet on it.

I’m a 54 year old Wolves fan, been supporting the club since my old dad (god rest him) took me to the Mol when I was a 5 year old.

But do you know what? I felt nothing. Not angry, frustrated, not even surprised anymore.

There is simply nothing there anymore. If Morgan persists in tolerating this bunch of tripe and this useless excuse of a manager then the club can do without my loyalty, interest, passion, money and everything else.

i agree..it was a poor performance after one or two bright moments..but even they took time to materialise..blues started sharply and more incisively..however i agree that the players have to take responsibility..we constantly gave the ball away when under only medium pressure and failed to offer options for passes..no one came short for passes …and no one took the game by the scruff of the neck or drove the team on..we could have done with roy keane on the pitch not in the tv studio…we re lacking a real leader of the mike bailey or kenny hibbitt type who can urge the team on even when their own game is not on song…some of the younger talented players like hammill and the more experienced like doyle and seb would benefit and improve their own game if we had a couple of players to really drive the team with fire and urgency.. Hunt puts in a lot of work but has been somewhat unfocussed of late..im sure thats why fergie has brought scholesy back..tho he s a quieter player he still pushes them on..

Number 27- bang on analysis of our situation. We are not getting any real results playing the way we do and, in the process, we provide a really dull approach to playing this great sport. All you MM fans out there- ask yourself how is it that little old Swansea can play the quality entertaining football that they do coming straight out of the Championship and get results? Answer – having a Manager who has a vision of how he wants to play and then putting the pieces together to make it happen.

The game was poor, Wolves reserves v Blues reserves and the game represented that fact.

However i do think Mick was right to rest his key players. If you beat Villa Saturday all will be forgotten but lose and i can see breaking point re his tenure.

Having seen Villa this season i am predicting a draw, maybe even 0-0.

Blessing in disguise. Clearly shows the need for an end of season clear out should we stay up. Elokobi , Stearman , Hunt , Ebanks-Blake and sadly Milijas all have to be moved on . I’d also add Jonsson to the list , no idea why MM bought a player with nothing to add to the squad. Scouring Hearts fans message boards nobody was bothered he’d gone , obvious why.

All other teams pass the ball to each other and then score because they can play football and have ability!!!, Our players are so lacking because MM has bought some rubbish they can only pass the ball sideways and backwards and then give it the big boot. That is our type of football thanks to MM.
Mr MORGAN you are not a Wolves supporter but you must know that MM and his team are a disgrace.
If you don’t get rid, look at the stadium last night because he will take us down and the supporters will not go and watch more rubbish.
We have a wonderful set of supporter who follow the Wolves through thick and thin but MM is killing the golden goose. HE HAS TO GO.

Where do you begin when it comes to this bunch of losers, yes I’m afraid thats exactly what they were last night! My MotM was Doherty, our young right back, which says it all really! Apart from him and Fletcher (as a late sub) the rest were woeful and thats putting it kindly. A premiership club! Don’t make me laugh, most of those on show certainly wouldn’t get into Birmingham’s first team thats for sure. Elokobi looked like he was on another planet at times, completely unaware of what was going on around him. Hunt ran around like a headless chicken, and as for the person who everyone it seems wanted to be in the team, Hammill, well he continually ran into cul de sacs of 2,3 or 4 Birmingham players and lost possesion. I thought someone had told Doyle that there wasn’t such a thing as a Goal that Birmingham were defending because he went nowhere near it, he was doing his typical thing of backing into their defenders and trying to lay the ball off, even when he managed to do it, he just stood there as if to admire his own work instead of getting into position to get it back and shoot. SEB tried, but is to me, looking increasingly overweight. It wasn’t until Fletcher came on that their keeper had a save of any consequence to make, in fact he could quite easily have just stood there, and read the express and star for the majority of the game. In short a third rate display by to many third rate players, its the young kids who went to the game and were served up this dross that I feel sorry for. We had better get 3 points Saturday, or MM will have to go, and the players might be all pally pally in the dressing room, but on the pitch they are beginning to look like complete strangers to one another.

For all of those blaming the players rather than the manager, isn’t your own jopb easier when the boss has laid some ground rles and set the course.

There is no method to this madness that the players are involved in. We have several very good wingers,so we don’t play them and when we do they are required to play in defense, more than pose a threat to the oppoistion. Whe Fletchers not paling we have no aerila threat which means that most of the wingers crosses are easily handled by the defense. Ebanks Blake is not going to win many headers in the penalty area, and to me seems not very interested in what’s going on.

As I now livve in the States I can only watch the games on Fox, and the most telling comment on the night was the commentator saying, “McCarthy has recognised that Murphy, (The brummie full back) is posing a threat down the left and has told Doyle to prevent his running forward and Ebanks Blake was just over there watching him too.” Says it all for me.

Doyle is a shadow of himself, looks exhausted and has really worked his behind off for the past three year.

None onf the players other than Hammill and Berra, looked particularly good last night, but it’s tough to play on adrenalin every week. There needs to be some plan as to how to beat the opposition not just to stop the other team from beating us.

As fgor replacing McCarthy, Morgan pretty much ruled that out last week, and idf it means just recycling the same old rubbish then forget it anyway. We should have grbbed Martin o’Neill, as many of the contributoprs to this site said early in the season. I don’t think Hughes will make much difference at QPR, he couldn’t do it with Millions at Man City. At this point I think our only hope is that the three teams currently at the bottom continue to be as bad as us, or worse, but if the team is led by someone who doesn’t seem to know how to win I think we may be doomed. After the surge of hope at Tottenham we are all back in the deepest depression rather than build on that up beat we threw away a chance to boost ourselve again. * straight losses followed by another 8 without a win. You don’t have to be genius to figure out we are in trouble, and yes I did want to see a decent cup run, winjnng is a habit that we don’t have and a win last night would have boosted us all.

Are we mathematically out of the running for winning the Premiership yet. iF we are we already jknow we won’t win anything this season. :-(

No quality, no creativity, no spark. It really is not good enough to say forget it and move on to the Villa. Don’t the people who repeat this realise how often they have said it and nothing’s changing?

Report abuse

I’ve always criticised the small faction of fans who insult McCarthy on here, but last night’s match was an embarrassment.

McCarthy should have viewed the match as an opportunity to integrate, perhaps 5 players, to the existing 1st XI and play to win, and win well with a performance to match.

It was clear that by making wholesome changes that he was did not want to progress in the FA cup. Yes, rest a few key players, but not the entire team.

A wasted opportunity to actually build some much needed confidence and win a match (much overdue).

I do think McCarthy is to blame for this loss, and to the people who say “I’d rather have lost this and take 3 points against Villa” are devoid of any common sense and logic. Now we go into the Villa game on the back of a loss. Not on the back of a win and some good draws behind that.

I think Morgan will sack McCarthy (and the coaching staff) at the end of May, regardless of whether we stay up. I think the club needs fresh direction on the pitch. We are stagnating and losing sight of what the fans want, which is performance and results. See Swansea and Norwich for details.

The majority of that taem last night will find it hard to get a place in the Championship and the bench with Keogh on it was a joke he couldnt hold down a place at Leeds for gods sake. Big George passed to everyone but a Gold shirt, Hunt looked like a head less Chicken, The new guy from Hearts was absent for most of the game shall I go on ?? And MM says they are premiership players give it a rest you muppet. And now I see us linked with a St Mirren player WTF.

40 years a fan and the best part of 20 years a season ticket holder. I have never been moved to make a comment like this before but last night’s defeat against Birningham was a bridge to far! I have been fortunate enough to have watched Wolves win at Wembley twice and secure promotion at the Millennium Stadium.

Realistically my only chance of another big day out is in the cup competitions and surprise, surprise another season has slipped past. In one of his post match interviews, MM correctly stated the blindingly obvious that winning breeds a winning mentality but picked a team that predictably and embarassingly exited the FA Cup without so much as a whimper and on prime time terrestrial TV for all to see!
There was nowhere to hide for Wolves fans today!

I accept that Premier League survival is the key but at least give it a go! The only player to come out of yesterday’s debacle with any real credit was Karl Henry. Surely even his biggest critics must see what we lack when he does not play. He may not be the best but he never hides!

Two poor sides, but of the two Birmingham looked the more skilful and composed and made the better chances.
Wolves were clueless, and it was difficult to imagine anyone mounting a case in favour of fielding the starting eleven; it is a fact that they all have Prem experience (or similar) but also a fact none would be sure of getting a game in any other Prem side. Most certainly would not!
A bad, demoralising mistake, and the finances of the club, due to an unnecessary early exit from a major competition, are yet further damaged. No doubt that will simply delay building programmes and ensure we can’t buy better players … but I doubt very much if such a policy is sustainable.
MM, thick skinned as ever, just shrugs it off, he is sure of his job and can do as he pleases. Steve Morgan says problems are to be worked through …. well MM is the biggest problem and work on it should commence immediately!

They might have all played in the premiership but as a team they don’t go together and that is why you lost and you were always going to lose.

Elokobi might have been OK last season but he is terrible this season. On top of that he’s rubbish at going forward and helping on the wings unlike Ward which is why Doyle spent so much time having to chip in himself.

This was pretty much the same on the other side too meaning we are left with just SEB in the box getting no service.

Playing Hammill with Doyle and SEB is Pointless because neither can get on the end of the crosses he puts in. Also Hammill seems to be best on the Right and Hunts best position is on the left. I can understand switching when Jarvis plays but Hammill and Hunt just let them get on in their best positions.

Doyle isn’t scoring because he is a striker who likes to score from open play taking on defenders one on one. Like Long and Keane. He’s not as aggressive as SEB and as tall as Fletch in the box and usually has 2-3 players marking him. Yet our slow build ups on attacking and lack of counter attack mean Doyle rarely gets any opportunity to even consider showing us what he can do. By the time we get into the box there’s usually 8 or 9 defenders back.

These are all simple things that every one can see. Either Mick hasn’t in which case serious questions need to be answered or he just chose to pick this team anyway so his 1st choicers didn’t get injured. I think its the latter which means he’s lying to the fans and that annoys me more than anything.

Very poor performance with nothing to admire. The whole nation now thinks we are rubbish after being shown on prime time TV.The simple fact with WW this year is that so many players are under-performing. This raises so many questions about the ability and mindset of the squad. I can’t see us getting much more than 37 points now (when we should be heading for 50).If so it is more last day drama. It might be time to review which personell are good enough and who needs to move on. We desparately need some quality and creativity.We must become a better home team

“McCARTHY Bought,’coached’ and ‘motivated’ players fail yet again”, so who do you blame?

Ring 0900 111 111 *** with an answer of either;

a) The alignment of a super-giant black hole in the Andromeda galaxy cluster with the polar axis of the Sun and Jupiter’s rings;
b) Ley-lines converging at Molineux
c) A gypsy curse, that despite peeing on the corner flag ala Barry Fry,nothing seems to be getting better, in fact the whole house of cards is collapsing;
d) Michael Joseph McCarthy

Has anyone considered reflecting on the players performance instead of MM’s?

They should all have been up for it and Doherty (and Berra) aside, not one of them really gave the sort of showing that would put them back in the first team picture.

As a result, the team for Vile will now pick itself. More fool those who started against Blues for not doing more to impress.

Keep yer pecker up, Mick…..I for one believe you can steer us to safety.

I have just come to the conclusion that the shuffle McCarthy talks about is the Soft Shoe Shuffle. He has been selected for the next Strictly Come Dancing later this year!!!!!!
