General Wolves News

The PTS article was better than the stupid headline. It was mostly quotes from GON though.

Talked how he was preparing his next tactical system in the weeks after he got sacked, always wants to play aggressive football. It's at least an insight into what the coach wants.

Alan is right about how to best use xG as a way to help contextualise the game. People didn't get this worked up when possession stats came into existence did they?
 
Stats are stats, goalscoring is instinct,
You either got it or you aint.
1 extra touch is lack of confidence, a bully bladder every time is confidence.

So we can do it...just need no opposition around to put us under any pressure.

He had no-one around him on Saturday and still missed (well, hit the keeper, have a pat on the head Fabio)
 
I'm sure it's naive of me, but is there really any value in shooting drills like that? The first one was a one-two around nobody and then rolling it into a small goal, and the second was basically "take a touch, doesn't matter how bad because you've got all the time in the world to set yourself and then twat it at a shit goalkeeper". Like surely it'd be of more value to everybody to have Kilman tracking the run or somebody coming out to block the shot? A free shot from 18 yards doesn't really teach you anything, surely?

Just be a piss about for the players won't it.

Also, good enough for the manager of Mol Mix FC, good enough for Wolves
 
I'm with you Del. Should also be done on the pitch at Molineux with 6000 volunteer North Bankers ready to shout ohh and put their hands on their heads when he misses.

All about repetition really and striking of the ball and angles. Sometimes it’s just better to do it without pressure to enable them to keep doing it. When they play their 5 a sides, 11v11 on a shortened pitch it will be about taking those repetitions into a game setting.

Fabio’s issue on Saturday was the time he had, look at the finish when he was offside and the ones in the video it’s touch and bang and he seems much better with that finish at the moment.

I know what you mean but when I used to coach sprinters I had them practising starting out of blocks regularly. There was no pressure and never the competition element or the threat of disqualification for timing it badly. Doesn't mean we didn't spend hours and hours practising it though. The more you practise the more you are able to instinctively do something correctly when under pressure. Or that's the theory anyway.

I've found a problem with your idea...
 
It looks like Wolfie has been a busy boy since his new look. Wilfred has appeared on the scene.

However, I'd be asking Wendy for a paternity test if I was him.
