Absolute shit

Some good free agents and james was a good signing but the squad needed more turnover and investment.

The defence is utterly embarrassing. I said on Saturday during the game against Stoke that it’ll be what costs us promotion and I stand by it, despite getting criticised.

Attack is fantastic at this level, but like tonight they’re not always going to deliver every single game. That’s when you rely on your defence to grind out results. We cannot rely on what we currently have.

Yes, it was one world class strike and one deflection, but 99% goals can still be avoided if you analyse them closely. Toti is horrendous and now the futures of Krejci and Santi are hopefully wrapped up and will be staying, Cesar has to drop him. Djiga did well on Saturday but I’d be dropping them both.

Going forward this is a top 2 side. The defence means I’m not even convinced we make the play offs. And let’s not forget that until tonight, the sides we’ve faced are really poor. Even West Ham had started poor.

Time to accept the defence is a real problem.

This may end up 4-4. We could even win 4-5. But it’s still a problem. And we won’t get promoted until it’s solved.

Doing the business early meant signing Raul and Tripper, combined age over 70, and then stopping I see.

It's fairly easy to follow the dots of what's happened this summer. Edwards wanted a big clearout and a rebuild. Mini Shi nodded his head and unwisely told the fans trust me lads, this time it will be different. Shanghai gets cold feet, pulls the rug and said no we don't have the appetite for that, get rid and let Mendes appoint another manager to work under that brief.

Any self respecting independent CEO would be handing in his resignation, but we all know that's not how Wolves work. Shi has as much influence on what goes on at Molineux as Dazzling Dave

Glad he's gone to be fair. Has apparently been injured since he has signed and is clearly not happy at the club.

Would you bring back the lad?

Norwegian broadcaster Tv2 says it’s likely that he is leaving Wolves for Hamburg.

Is there anywhere reliable to get match tickets for west brom?

Looking to go to the Molineux to pick up all 3 kits in a large. Has anyone been recently? Do they have a lot of stock? No point going if they are fully out of stock...

Thanks.

love the wolves with all my heart but the relegation has made watching games feel disheartening, i still love them to death and watch as much as i can but it feels so different now that we're not in the prem league anymore, maybe im just spoiled tho, lol

Is the Krejci to West Ham story based on anything solid?!

Just seeing the current score for MU and Ipswich, seeing Cunha has assisted one goal against what could be considered a lesser team, (I appreciate it's only HT), was it bad business to sell him?

I liked Cunha at the club but he was hot headed and landed himself with some silly cards.

Couldn't see him staying after relegation anyway but is he really missed in the squad?

I'm starting to think, not really.

Edit: Didn't realise it was a Bruno score

he hasn’t had a clean sheet yet, but it’s only been two games, and he looks the better of the two center halves despite basically having not existed in the squad before this season.

11 defensive contributions and 4 recoveries in this game, with a 7.1 and a 7.5 match rating from his two starts. (got a cs and a 7.7 against Wednesday but that doesn’t count).

I was only able to catch the second half of the game today, but I think djiga looked pretty solid, he seemed to handle himself pretty well. How was he first half? was the first goal a blunder on him or could he just not have done anything?
