It was like everyone else challenging for promotion had a bad slump at the same time - Reading really fell away after they beat us in late January. 2009 contrasted with the free-wheeling goals and excitement of 2008 where Wolves tended to grind out results, especially from March onwards.

Ok then the 43 nominated goals are listed - select your top 20.

Ok then nominations are now closed. Final list of 43 goals nominated - I'll create a separate post/poll for people to nominate their top 20.

Watched many a game in my very young days in the Enclosure.

Thanks Kenny 👍

One final nomination from me - Robbie Dennison Wolves 2-2 WBA (Division 2 - 6/4/1991). Given we'll have at least 43 goals to chose from, can anybody let me know that in creating a post with a poll you can have 43+ selections ?

Yup I recall that now - totally forgot about it.

You're probably right re Mick being a bit fortunate - I reckon the signing of SEB and his instant impact in terms of goals, results and general improvement in performance may have saved Mick.

That's actually a very good comparison. Both started well (well it took eight games for GON to look promising) but eventually the deck of cards fell apart for both of them. We'd have probably been relegated with Solbakken - Saunders made sure sure of it - but having just reviewed the season in...

OK then I'll give it 2 more days and then I'll close the nominations - 42 goals so far nominated.

Spot on ! ! ! I'll be releasing season 2009/10 in 6 days time so I've been viewing and rewatching the games recently and it wasn't a great season in terms of exciting play and thrilling games, but Mick knew how to grind out results with the squad he had playing 4-5-1. It meant sacrificing SEB...

I'd have more faith in the Black Knight from Monty Python And The Holy Grail than the fwits running the club at present.

Fair enough - 100% agree re COVID it’s the line in the sand re Wolves recent Premier League seasons.

Yes he's one the list - next one I'll actually compile will be SEB, just haven't got around to editing it yet. So in the planning stage: SEB Dean Sturridge Alex Rae (ie like Paul Birch pretty much only scored top goals) Paul Birch However, the next compilation release will be the result from...

I'm not grateful to Fosun - I'm forever grateful to Nuno. Given the track record of Fosun's ownership of Wolves, I'm of the opinion they lucked out in appointing Nuno and his special ability to galvanise his squad. Nothing before or since Nuno suggest they have a clue how to properly run a...

Now added.

With the recent love-in for Paul Birch, we're now up to 41 nominations. I'm also thinking down the track of doing a goals compilation for Paul Birch given the high number of quality goals he scored for Wolves - 19 goals in total. I'll give it another 5-6 days (after the dust settles with the...

Got it - against Forest in the League Cup in season 94/95.
