    Leeds (A) Build Up

    Leeds aren't an amazing team, I don't think they have a particuarly good manager either so I'll back us to win this one. Back to a fluid front three for me, MGW in the middle with Saiss and I'd be tempted to play Vinagre and Norris (neither of those will happen though). I expect Alf and Saiss in...

    Matt Doherty

    I don't think Doherty is amazing but I'd say he is abused a bit too much on here. I'm sure we'd get £2m for him, wouldn't be surprised if it was more. That said, he'll stay as cover next season.

    Reading (H) Build Up

    Suspect we'll return to the fluid front three, which is my favourite anyway. Leo makes a decent plan B if things aren't going to plan. I'd also change the keeper as I've been questioning Ruddy for a while as Norris will be a better keeper, but he didn't actually do anything horrific at the...

    Wolves 3 - Sheff Utd 0 verdict thread

    That was absolutely gorgeous stuff. Every single player on that pitch today was brilliant. When we play like that, it matters not how the opposition play. I have no doubt this will be the last team to come to Molineux looking to play.

    Sheffield Utd

    This one for me. I'm looking forward to this.

    Welcome back Benik Afobe

    Pretty happy at the terms, now we just wait and see how he does. I'm not convinced he'll fit, but another option can't be a bad thing.

    Yup, I've heard the c when I've been visiting my Irish half of the fam. Maybe it's a regional thing.

    The Winter Transfer Thread (And Summer Free Transfers)

    I don't see the issue with taking Afobe IF there is no OBLIGATION to buy. I wouldn't mind an option, but I'd rather we could send him back if he doesn't offer anything new. I'm skeptical he would fit into this team, as adapting to him would seriously hinder some of our other creative players I...

    Live Match Discussion 2017/18

    I actually thought VAR was bordering on the farcical today tbh. The penalty in particular (which I thought wasn't clear cut enough to be given on VAR anyway) took far too long. If it takes that many replays and that long to come to a decision then it isn't a definite penalty and you don't give...

    The Winter Transfer Thread (And Summer Free Transfers)

    We should definitely be looking for an upgrade on Ruddy. I appreciate he's mainly been claiming crosses and relaxing on his deck chair this season, but there have been enough moments when he's been far from convincing. I'd certainly like to see Norris given a shot too. Maybe at the tail end of...

    Wolves 0-2 Forest - Verdict Thread

    I think there's a need to recognise that actually we've been poor more often than not over the last quite a while. We're good enought to still pick up the win a lot of the time, so I'm not concerned about us dropping back into the pack - we'll still win the league. But something isn't right at...

    The Winter Transfer Thread (And Summer Free Transfers)

    I liked Evans, and I definitely think that he will be a decent player at this level. Good luck to him.

    Wolves 0-0 Swansea Verdict thread

    Vinagre definitely a red. Fer never is for me. I don't see anything like enough malice. It's the kind of challenge that pisses me off, and kinda makes me wish we had sin bins like rugby does for things like that, but only a yellow. Should absolutely have won going off the highlights. A couple...

    The Winter Transfer Thread (And Summer Free Transfers)

    Has he any coaching experience? I'm wary of giving people coaching jobs because they were good players. Just as with managers, it doesn't necessarily transfer. Wouldn't want him as a player either. I'm too young to remember Robbie too so no sentiments for me. He warrants a place or doesn't come.

    Wolves 3 - Brentford 0 a standard day at Molineux this year verdict thread

    Sounds like we could and should have won by a very long way, which is very impressive against a good footballing team in strong form. Cav is devastating atm, but I still feel his impact is always greater off the bench. Don't agree Costa doesn't fit this formation either. Whilst I agree he...

    Millwall 2 - 2 Wolves: The Verdict Thread

    Glad to hear the fluid front three created chances in the first half. I'd like to think this could be our way forward, as well as Leo has played. A point isn't a disaster (especially given Cardiff lost), but it'd be nice to win having been ahead. Apparently we've not won when we've gone behind...

    Wolves 1 Ipswich 0 verdict thread

    Better today than in the last few weeks. Certainly should have won by more in this end. We are just a really good team for this level.

    Ipswich (H) 23/12 Build Up Thread

    I'd take Hause over both Batth and Bennett. I would think some rotation needs to occur. Both Cav and Jota have been poor for the best part of three games, so it is time Costa had a chance. His sub appearance suggested it could be time.

    Sheff Wed 0 - 1 Wolves: Verdict thread

    Not particularly surprised at the xG, can't think of an actual chance for either side other than Reach after 20 minutes or so. Doherty was a major outlet so not surprising either. Still not doing enough with it though. Vinagre was wonderful defensively, but didn't use his electric pace enough...

    Sheff Wed 0 - 1 Wolves: Verdict thread

    I am mildly concerned that we've created very few proper chances over the last three games. I agree that the schedule is catching up to the front three who are not getting any rest,and that it might be worth some rotation happening now. I do also still wonder if this formation truly brings the...
