    Wolves 0-2 Arsenal: Verdict Thread

    For what it's worth, watching the recent YouTube video of the Saiss interview he seemed to suggest that both Sellars and Lage were keen on him staying and that it was Shi that essentially forced him out.

    [Carabao Cup 3rd Rd] Wolves 1-0 Leeds: Verdict Thread

    I went as well and all things considered I thought we did ok. I also thought Hodge played well. I've no idea why some on here don't seem to like him. Of course the main take away from this evening is we clearly need a decent striker but what's new about that.

    I can see my discussion with Johnny75 is winding others up. I'm sorry about that. I just felt it was incredibly unfair that Steve Davis was labelled a liar. Whatever his shortcomings as a coach he seems to be a thoroughly decent human being doing a thankless job at a difficult time. If nothing...

    Nice try at deflecting, it hasn't worked. Who cares if I didn't correctly detail all aspects of the job description of a scout. What Matt Pearson describes as 'opposition analysis' you want to call scouting. Yet again, this isn't important. You can try and shift the goalposts as much as you...

    I can see you haven't.

    Make your mind up. First you say I've lifted straight from the Matt Pearson article (where he details his role as a 'performance analyst') then say I've conflated it with scouting. Scouting, as I understand it, is assessing individual players suitability for purchase by the club. None of which I...

    No, not at all. I'm not sure why you'd think that I'd think that 'everything was good". Wolves is a car crash that's been a long time coming. The driver of that car is Jeff Shi. His failures have been well documented so it's pointless listing them again. I was devastated to learn Coady was being...

    My point was only to defend the honesty of Steve Davis. He stated that he picked the team, decided on tactics and substitutions. Pearson had a team of people, all working in the overall analysis of the first team and their opposition. As many of these left with Bruno Lage we're told by Davis and...

    That's quite clearly what I didn't say. It's you who claims to not know what an analyst does, although I suspect you do. He pretty much spells it out in the link I gave to you. The various data he collects on both the first team and the opposition is utilised by the coaching staff. He doesn't...

    Not particularly, it's fairly easy to understand. I'm surprised you're struggling with it. Let's just say it doesn't involve picking the team, devising tactics or making substitutions. All the things that Steve Davis said was his responsibility and that you think he's lying about because it's...

    I posted the link because you seemed to be struggling with what game analysis and Pearson's job is. Looks like you still are.

    What's funny about that. It's literally his job. https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/wolves-head-performance-research-mat-pearson-analyst/

    As has been pointed out numerous times. He's helping out with the game analysis. Clearly that's what the white tactics boards were for, to make notes.

    “.... I pick the team with James and we select how we play, how we defend and attack, and we make decisions on the substitutions. There’s been no interruptions from Scott. He does his job upstairs and we do ours down there. “He sits watching the game and talks to matt around the game, not the...

    I've no idea why you think I might disagree that Shi has made a mess of things. I've no doubt the buck stops with him and he's the primary cause of the current malaise. My disagreement with you regarding Sellars is all about the honesty and integrity of Steve Davis. I don't think he's lying and...

    Either Steve Davis, James Collins or Tony Roberts have a secret (well hidden because you can't see it in any of the TV coverage) earpiece where they receive direct instructions on tactics and substitutions from Scott Sellars sitting in the stands. Not only that they blatantly lie about it when...

    So you're basically suggesting that Steve Davis is a blatant liar. As explained last week Sellars is helping out Matt Pearson with the game analysis. Hence the 'tactics sheets' and the communication with Pearson. When Bruno left so did most of his backroom team which has obviously left some...

    Wolves 0-4 Leicester: Verdict Thread

    "... Steve Davis rejected suggestions that Sellars, a former Leeds, Newcastle, Blackburn and Bolton winger, was having a say on tactics during a game. "Scott does his job upstairs and we do our job downstairs," said Davis. "I'm not on social media so that was the first time I heard something...
