Captain?

Cunha or lemina.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

2023 Lemina I agree, 2024 Lemina struggled to warrant a place in the team. We don’t want a Max type scenario where the captain has to play regardless so I think Cunha could mature with it and cement a long term stay here like Neves did.

 

[Tony Towner]

I mean that's just bonkers. Form dipped yes, struggled to warrant a place in the team? Miles off beam imo. He's turning 31, he's not regressing as a player for another year or so worst case. Kilman isn't a reasonable comparison

Mental.

He ran out of gas because they were ran into the ground and his performances dipped as a result. Especially a few times when he was played in different positions. As late as March against Fulham he was imperious though.

 

[sycophantia]

By the end of last season Lemina (and Gomes) weren't at the same level as earlier but they were both still excellent.

 

[C.L.D]

I'd throw Dawson into the mix, but his place next year in the team is more precarious. Lemina definitely not.

Does Cunha make it into the Brazil squad these days ? Never see him mentioned .

Didn't make the squad for the Copa America, which is outrageous really, given how good he is on and off the pitch. Great for us, though - as he's had a proper break.

For clarity, some of the other options they took ahead of him were Evanilson, Martinelli, Rodrygo, Raphinha, Vinicius etc...

Not seen it posted anywhere, so apologies of I've missed, but Danny Batth is back training at the club. Hopefully we don't find ourselves in a Johnny Evans/Man Utd situation down the line

Sign him for the U23's...

I like that clubs do this for ex-players. Need somewhere to train and they provide them the facilities to do so

He was returning from injury when the squad was announced, so not quite so outrageous really. And as you say, it's has probably helped us, and him with his recovery tbh.

from the same SLT that brought you sacking a manager and giving it to Steve Davis we bring you selling your first choice centre half and signing Danny Batth.

Wolves hire first ever set piece coach

Gary O’Neil has bolstered his backroom team with the arrival of Jack Wilson as the club’s first ever dedicated set piece coach.

Encouraging as we were pretty shite off set pieces last season.

First short corner and he is getting the Sellars treatment

Who devised this one, it's glorious.

Of course we never ever ever did that again.

Hopefully that includes throws, they’ve been shite for ever.

There's always an exception to the rule

I'd like to see the step over played near the edge of the penalty area from a corner and for the player behind to wallop it in the net. Steve Stoutt was the last I saw do it perfectly... and then it got disallowed off memory.
