The Race to be Relegated with Wolves, 24/25 Thread

[Tony Towner]

Everton get a manager with a semblance of competence in and are safe within a month making zero signings.

Playing Brighton, Spurs and Leicester and actually having some defenders probably helped too

 

[AndyWolves]

The Everton score is good for us, but fuck me what a depressing situation were in

Total points against those 3 sides the first time they played them. 1

Another that many Wolves were turning their noses up at

And all three teams are much shitter since then

Two won their game prior to playing them.

Not so much that, more the stupid tropes of "he organises teams well" (West Ham contrived to concede more than us last season) and "he knows how to get out of a relegation scrap" (tell Sunderland fans that).

I don't think he'd have done any better than Vitor so far with these players.

 

[AndyWolves]

Soton winning

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Muric strikes again! Thank God he is shit.

The big lug who looks like he's never played football tapping home.

 

[Lupo]

Ipswich losing...

In with a shout of being our POTS

Bottom of this league is a shambles

 

[Lupo]

If we can't be better than Ipswich and Leicester in the remainder of the season we deserve to go down

Are you saying you don't think Pereira is competent?

 

[jd1981]

That’s a catastrophe for Ipswich they’d have had that as a banker

 

[Tony Towner]

Are you saying you don't think Pereira is competent?

I didn't mention him. If you are asking which I'd rather have had if you'd offered me an either/or when GON sacked it'd have been Moyes without a doubt. We have Pereira because we couldn't attract the likes of him.

 

[prawnking]

I agree I'd have taken Moyes over VP, I just wondered if your remark about a competent manager was contrasting us with them

It was a comment about how one man can turn things around so quickly with the same squad when the quality below is so poor. It wasn't a barbed dig, although it's fair to say I think some of the on pitch stuff gets overlooked by what's not happening off it. Today's team choice could be a decent example, he's either smart or stupid with his Bellegarde selection.

 

[jd1981]

The GD means we’re effectively 3 ahead of Leicester and 4 ahead of Ipswich.
