Ex-Wolf Watch

[Deutsch Wolf]

Can't remember if I put it on here (sure I sent it to you, Stu).

Crikey.

After a career high point of reaching the World Cup semi-finals, the 1990/91 season really was one to forget for Peter Shilton… pic.twitter.com/ArnLd6JXZv

The leaden (is that a word DW?) footedness Stowell showed around this time was very reminiscent of Shilton around 1990.

Still my favourite Wolves and England keepers though (I think)

N.B. Favourite not necessarily best

 

[Tony Towner]

Shilton was from the mid 80s onwards a shite keeper and from at least the 00s onwards an arsehole of a human being

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Also have songs unique to themselves and not generic “England’s No 1” chants.

“We’ve got Micky Micky Stowell in our goal, in our goal” is still sung most weeks in the North Bank by the pissed up bloke near me. “Tina, Tina, Tina “ was a regular for years

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If we're going "favourite" Wolves keepers and people who were first choice for a fair period then:

Murray
Rui
Kendall
Hennessey (we'll ignore how he left and him not knowing what Nazis are)
Hahnemann
Stowell
Sa (he pisses me off, just a moron sometimes. But obviously pretty good)
Ruddy
Oakes
Ikeme
Postma
Jones

If it's ability then you'd swap a fair few around.

 

[Paul]

No Segers then

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not So Super Hans wasn't even first choice for two months!

 

[Tredman]

Jones is a bit high there.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Kevin Foley joins the team at Brackley as head coach.

Inside Bruno Lage's time at Wolves: Players 'disengaged' with training and man management issues

Lage was informed yesterday afternoon that his reign was over after 15 months, 46 league games, 16 victories and just 41 goals.

A) Feels good to be posting Bruno Lage news in the ex-Wolf thread.

B) The Athletic with scoop of the century this morning: Lage was a cunt and his players hated him.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Non-paywall version?

The Athletic with scoop of the century this morning: Lage was a cunt and his players hated him.

Is that why the long face ??

Non-paywall version?

If you want to read something behind pretty much any paywall, archive.is is your friend...

12 foot wall doesn't work for loads of sites now. RIP

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Brutal.

Also a bit daft, given Emerson Royal's sending off was a massive reason why Spurs lost the other day.

Ex-Spurs Player - Matt Doherty

This guy still sounds like a dick though Going by his avatar, he's a Man Utd fan.

[Deutsch Wolf]

They're both properly crap.

He went through a spell last season of whenever they lost, he'd just drop whoever played at RWB and play the other one. Then repeat it when they next lost.

Doc against us at their place was seriously shocking, I don't think he got one thing right all afternoon.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

He finally found some form at the back end of last season, then did his knee.

Here's the actual quote, not quite as bad as that meme suggested.

🎙️ Antonio Conte on why Matt Doherty hasn't been starting for #thfc:

"I'm not stupid, I don't want to lose!"

Defending like playing FIFA on Amateur, but it's a top finish.

Frustrating. He had ability, that was clear (and I can readily accept that Lage's non-tactics didn't help him) but such a fanny. Don't duck out of 60/40 challenges FFS.

 

[1986]

When Doherty lined out in the recent International matches he looked like someone that had lost a lot of weight , looked quite gaunt actually .
