Not said much about Thursday because i was pi**ed right off with some of the comments on here. I thought we played well especially in the first half, unfortunately i think we ran out of steam. a lot of the lads were starting for the first time or almost. People have been complaining about not seeing certain ones getting game time, rotation is going to be key if we wanna kick on in the league. MGW shouldn't be on penalties either way, remember him giving it to Jesus vs Porto because he knew he was lucky with his first.


We controlled the game for the most part against a seasoned European campaigner.
Think Sunday is literally groundhog day for us, we have to do everything and anything to bank three points. Play and fight dirty if necessary.
A few of the key lads have had a full weeks rest and should be charged and ready for war.
COYR 🌳.

Dyche did the right thing resting players winter
End of the day Victor had only one save to make
Sturm where the hone side abd we bossed the game, but you have to score from a penalty?
Yates and Dominguez where unlucky
Thing is when your on top you have to take those chances.

Well winter my friend, I disagree. Players with heads up arses for me. Either nonchalant or no desire, that's me being kind young man. I could say no skill. But I know they have it. Guy Fawkes couldn't put a rocket up their wronguns. Just my opinion. IN FACT i'm LIVID, with the state of play.

08 Nov 2025 01:18:31
Honestly DTP and Bowie, i'm pretty damn pi**ed myself at the state of play atm.
But and i say but look at the state of play through the microscope of a footballers mind (limited i agree having played 350 plus non games myself)
Three managers so far, three different philosophies, extremely limited pre season as a group (influx of players late in the window) , injuries to at least two of our most influential players, Aina and Dominguez, then you throw in a basic essential, match fitness, i don't care what everyone says. Match fitness is a thing and you can't get anything like it from training games and even running around like a headless chicken on the training ground. Then you throw in mixing a new group with a bunch of guys who are tried and tested together and expecting them to gel instantly is a f**king joke.


Im not one to point blame or fingers but i really do think the uncertainty of which competition we would be competing in made a difference in our transfer policy, maybe we should have aimed it towards the conference league and settled with the players who wanted to complete in that rather than going for the more expensive options. Yes we made the Europa league in the end but heyho wouldn't the players that reached for the smaller competition be playing out of their skins now to prove the point?
Jesus that's a lot of merlot feed bull💩🤣
Love ya both btw 🌳.

08 Nov 2025 01:26:17
And heres a random idea I've had that actually works on footy manager I'd love to see deployed vs leeds on Sunday.

Play Ando in the number six position, in front of him put Yates and Sangare literally as ball winners and protectors, Andos passing range and energy would literally let him control the game, whoever is playing wide up top, let them play level with the central forward. 🌳.

08 Nov 2025 04:00:47
I don't know what match you was watching winter We were playing the equivalent of Burton Albion and hardly laid a glove on them.
Yes we are playing really well, 2nd from the bottom of the Premier with nearly a third of the season gone and can't buy a win in the Mickey Mouse European Cup.

Shambles and all self inflicted but apparently you can't analyse your teams performance without being called disloyal or a Ram. Your supposed to sit there happy clapping total dross.

07 Nov 2025 16:45:31
Any contenders out of the current crop for the worst signings list?

07 Nov 2025 17:31:43
Much too early to say Carlo. Wait until they are all Dyche level fit mate!

07 Nov 2025 17:56:18
Maybe give them a chance and a run in the starting 11. Many aren't fit yet.

07 Nov 2025 18:43:38
Who in invested 180 million in unfit players 🤣🤣🤣.

07 Nov 2025 18:45:11
Just needs to get them fit and drip feed them in, can't really slag any of them based on fact we signed em too late n they nowhere near fit, who's to blame for that who knows.

being semi optimistic for a change, they could turn into decent players come Jan. bakwa n kili both very highly rated but both look about as fit as me at the minute.

07 Nov 2025 19:01:46
Yeah, let's all have a poll to slag off our players because that'll help.

Maybe we could have one for the most negative fans on here whilst we're at it!

Hopefully we can put in a good performance on Sunday with some rested too, we really need to win this one.

07 Nov 2025 19:12:33
I'm all for that gingerkid carlo will win hands down
Never had a good word for forest or marinakis 😁🤣🤣.

07 Nov 2025 19:21:35
Ps ginger, you don't honestly believe the players take any notice of us on here do you?

07 Nov 2025 19:49:37
We will have been relegated before Douglas Luiz is fit Stokey, by the look of it. If he's never fit and we end up having to sign him permanently, then he'll be on the shortlist for worst signing. And he's a great player, don't get me wrong. You have to be fot to play in this league, though.

The paying public can slag off who they like. The players get enough money to become millionaires so I'm sure they can cope.

I can't tell for sure who the worst signing is. I will say I like the look of Jair Cuhna, Savona, Jesus so far. Loads of potential.

07 Nov 2025 19:59:59
Carlo from the 1st of April till the end of the season we took just 11 points from a possible 27
We have carried on that same percentage, but you just want to blame edu and the new signings as it suits your agenda against marinakis
We've lost aina and elanga from that team, no one else, the team is performing exactly as it ended the season, conceding goals and struggling to score
Can you not see that?
Or are you so blinded by your hatred for marinakis and his son?

07 Nov 2025 20:05:53
Yeah red Savonna looks decent doesn’t he.

07 Nov 2025 20:21:13
So does jesus and luiz when fit and ndoye has scored and assisted without looking a world beater, cuhna looked classy on the ball and decent defender first half against Newcastle
Luuz us total class if we can get him fit, Hutchinson looks OK in his cameos so how come some say that the players we've signed are all crap?

07 Nov 2025 20:25:00
Yes, Savona looks great for his age as well as being new to the league and living in another country for the first time.

The two French players looked good last season (Bakwa and KillemAllforaGiro) so maybe they will come good. Or is the French League much lower standard than the Italian where Savona came from?

07 Nov 2025 21:05:08
I'd keep MGW in, he has a bit of pace about him, he will come out of this dip in Form soon.

07 Nov 2025 23:18:49
Play him on wing then rogie?
He's not doing it central?

08 Nov 2025 06:13:33
We've spent a 180 million since 1st of April dtp on players that should of improved a poor squad that nuno got playing out of there skins.2 managers later and there's no way this team as anywhere near improved on that lol you can make all the excuses you want elanga 🤣🤣 etc but we lost a decent manager that's the massive difference fact.

{Ed's Note - LukesWolf has posted a new article entitled, Do Wolverhampton Wanderers Fans Think Fosun Has Lost the Plot?

06 Nov 2025 23:09:56
When you keep playing the same 11 and then others are called upon who aren't match fit because they don't get a game then they will tire easily and get cramp. Add to that travelling as well.

07 Nov 2025 06:00:04
Have to say Kiliminjaro or whatever you call him is Championship standard at best.

07 Nov 2025 07:25:37
When there is no creativity in midfield all our strikers will look like Championship players. Clear cut chances aren't being created for them.

Kiliminjaro 🤣🤣. Love that one, Rogie.

07 Nov 2025 09:29:11
Well said silkman and spot on.

07 Nov 2025 13:37:47
Kilimanjaro hasn’t played much and is way off match fitness. Hence he’s been given minutes last night. He has a “mountain “ to climb to get fit imo 🙄.

07 Nov 2025 16:42:53
The thing about the players fitness is a bit baffling, I'm assuming they all train together doing the same things?, Williams was still full of running in the 90th minute as the first, Yates and Dominguez although they haven't played many games was still running at 80+ minutes, then there was some players falling over with cramp after 55 minutes?, is it physical strength or some just give up to easily?.

07 Nov 2025 17:36:45
Mossy, it’s match fitness mate. It’s like muscle memory so you do things instinctively and more quickly. It’s mental as well as physical. Obviously, cramp was a factor but you get my point.

06 Nov 2025 22:50:55
I bet Anderson can wait to get out of here, I think if we, d have carried on in the same vain as last year we might have retained him one more season but with the fiasco that we’re seeing that just is not going to happen and he could possibly leave in Jan.
Such a shame that a wrecking ball was released.
Totally unnecessary.
