If I could rub a magic lamp and make one wish for next season it would be for Gary O’Neil to have a squad he feels good about. Fosun haven’t afforded a manager that luxury since the early years of Nuno and that has to change. Many of an old gold persuasion would just ask […]
If there’s one thing Jürgen has done well, it’s beat Wolves at Anfield in the Premier League. I make it five straight wins since we returned to the top flight, so what better way to finish than seeing off the whipping boys one final time? Unless… Can our lads drag themselves off the canvas and […]
It was a pleasure to be asked by The Terrace Apparel to take a look at one of their Wolves-themed embroidered tops. They currently have two simple designs to choose from – a John Richards shirt and this beauty inspired by a more recent hero – Ruben Neves, commemorating his iconic celebration of that goal […]
From Turner to Taylor and Nuno to Bruno, if the Wolves have taught me one thing, then it’s that nothing lasts forever. And so it came to pass that the Wolves Blog has written its final chapter, in another inevitable ending that deserves a final farewell. My first-ever post was back in 2009, for a […]
As we head to Anfield hoping to spoil Jürgen’s farewell I thought the timing was right to announce that the Liverpool game is also going to be Wolves Blog’s last hurrah. With increasing pressure on my time outside of the site, I’m struggling to keep the wheels turning in what’s largely a voluntary solo endeavour […]
When I look back over the season, Gary has got his tactics right more often that not. But in recent weeks I’ve been scratching my head a bit. For a start, I can’t get my head around this weird hybrid back three with full backs being used on the outside when Santi Bueno is sat […]
Most will see this as little more than a nice kick about in the sunshine. After all, both teams should be content enough with what they’ve done over the 36 games to date and feel there’s cause for optimism heading into 24/25. But according to this article, each position in the Premier League table could […]
When you think about it, that was the logical outcome. Wolves are too weak defensively and way too cavalier in possession to live with a City team hyper focused on their ultimate objective. Yes, the penalty that got the ball rolling was a touch contentious but Ait-Nouri’s lack of awareness gave the referee a decision […]
If we get 4 points from the final three games, we’ll have a chance of finishing in the top half. That’s a big ask with Liverpool and in-form Palace on the horizon after this almost certain defeat. We can still finish as low as 14th but with a six point buffer to Palace, you’d hope […]
I thought I’d give myself a few minutes to actually think about who to award my precious Player of the Season vote. Like most people, I can immediately hone in on a couple of contenders, but do the underlying numbers support that choice or would data reveal I’m overlooking someone more deserving? What about the […]
