On the face of it, it was all much of the same. Going behind in the first half, equalising in the second. But in reality, this was a night and day turnaround in performance levels, nicely facilitated by the team from the Emirates. This was our third fixture against Arsenal since our return to the … Continue reading Arsenal, Wolves & Creature Comforts

  In the aftermath of last night's game, it appears a lot of the commentary seems to have skirted around the 90 minutes of football that was actually played, so I'll take it upon myself to offer some kind of thought on what was laid out in front of us. Expectations were low once the … Continue reading Aston Villa (A) – The Debutants*

It's tempting to copy and paste much of my last blog for this review of yesterday's goings on. Apologies for the tone in advance - my 'edgy contributions' herewith will not be of a positive nature. It was a good result in midweek. Any victory away from home in Europe is commendable, especially with the … Continue reading Insanity

Another victory in Europe takes us on to seven games unbeaten in all competitions. We're back, aren't we? The buccaneering, giant-killing, defence-slicing Wolves is back and no-one is going to stop us on our march to European glory and a top six finish. Right? The Guardian posted a statistically-led article on Wolves' performance this season … Continue reading Nuno’s Plan: Strange Teams and Coming From Behind

He's been the topic of conversation for over a week now, commanding more column inches than he could have ever had in his career so far - for the right reasons anyway. He's a player who demands attention, whether it be from spectators or opposition defenders, whenever he enters the fray. Finally, it seems Adama … Continue reading A Blossoming Relationship

I was ready and waiting, itching to even. My thumbs were burning with fury, ready to unleash on to my Twitter feed a rant of unhealthy proportions. Lethargy, sloppiness and tentativeness had settled themselves as constructs within my brain, I couldn't say anything else about this Wolves performance. But then, the night froze for a … Continue reading What A Difference A Goal Makes

Just when you thought you would get some light relief. The Europa League has been the warm blanker in the winter, the lighthouse on the cliff and the hark back to better times and better performances so far this season. Until last night. Fortress Molineux is ringing with some familiar sounds at the moment. The … Continue reading Just Where Has The Spark Gone?

The dust has of course settled now. It is there for all to see - Wolves in the Group Stages of the Europa League. Maps are being scoured, routes being planned and holiday requests being lodged firmly in managers' diaries - we're going on a European tour. This, the result of a bit of a … Continue reading Football – The Highs and The Lows

Football is always throwing up table-turning scenarios. It was at a very similar point last season, when Burnley made the trip to Molineux, having embarked upon and already completed their own European adventure. Burnley, preceded to slumber their way through 90 minutes which were entirely unreflective of the 1-0 scoreline. Now before we delve into … Continue reading A Reprieve

As much as we've been playing in Europe for a number of weeks now, it only just feels like we're really getting to the blood and guts of the situation. The Penultimate Frontier, only because the Champions League remains far and away the pinnacle of club football and for now, is a challenge for another … Continue reading The Penultimate Frontier
