So long, Julen. It really was long as well. The goodbye at least. Like when you start trying to leave a party, but everybody keeps roping you back in for another drink. Except they were all alcohol-free all along, duped into thinking the enjoyment would continue long into the night, despite your own reservations aboutRead more

There’s a distinct sense that as Wolverhampton Wanderers fans, we’ve been totally desensitised to what it means to have a functioning forward line. Covering the 3 full seasons that have passed from August 2020 to June 2023, Wolves have played 127 games, scoring 121 goals. Most people would assume, that if you had a blokeRead more

The Summer of Tributes just keeps rolling on. It really is the ripping up of a football team, after somewhat of a false dawn last time out. This time round, it’s Conor Coady’s turn.  After what has become a prolonged goodbye, beginning with last summer’s opening day benching versus Leeds, the time appears to haveRead more

I did think this would be a tribute-intensive summer. The circumstances around this one, I don’t think many could have predicted. But one way or another, we’ve finally seen the last of Ruben Neves in a Wolves shirt. That his final act may well be leathering a ball into Jorginho’s head from point-blank range inRead more

So there we are. Julen Lopetegui is set to embark on his first full season as Wolves manager. From the moment Wolves secured safety in the Premier League, Lopetegui made it clear he was looking for assurances that he could bolster the squad in his image in order to push the team forward next season.Read more

Did a name ever fit The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army better? The man who resembled a Seven Nation Army marauding towards defenders with the ball at his feet. For a bloke as striking in appearance and as eyecatching in performance, it’s all been a bit low key for Adama in what would appear toRead more

Let me get one thing clear from the off: I hate discussing refereeing. I hate the discourse around the standard of them, the bias of them, the conspiracies involving them, which part of the country they’re from and therefore which teams they obviously support and how they’ve got it in for all of our clubs. Read more

The date is 20 December 2021. Wolves have navigated 18 Premier League fixtures, near enough half a season and sit in 8th place on 25 points. At their current trajectory that would leave them on 53 points by the end of the campaign. Good enough for a position between 9th and 12th over the courseRead more

The Ten Percent Rule I mentioned in my last video that #WBA did well to get Matheus Pereira on the ball around 10% of all their touches during the game. He felt like a large influence and I wanted to explore this further from a #WWFC perspective. https://youtu.be/3iDXHVxYGtw So I decided to have a lookRead more

We’ve all got one. Perhaps more. For me it’s Diomansy Kamara careering down the left channel before scoring and doing that utterly ridiculous and inexplicably infuriating celebration. Also, Gary Breen’s pure anguish after miscuing a clearance directly to Kevin Phillips – I don’t need to tell you the rest. He was ‘inevitable’, in the wordsRead more
