Welcome to Wolves Vitor Pereira

[Sniffer]

He’s got more points than any other club bar Liverpool over the last 2 months.

Oh and if that stat is wrong blame the stolen toilet man.
Joke also stolen from @YoungWolf

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Now running at exactly 2PPG since the start of February.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

How many points did we have when he came in? 9?

9 from 16

23 from 15 since he came in

I like this ^

Vitor will keep Wolves up purely on the games he has managed alone meaning I can erase the GoN games from my memory...as hard as that may be given how abysmal they were!!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just for the record, first 15 PL games:

Dave Jones: W2 D5 L8 Pts 11
Mick McCarthy: W3 D4 L8 Pts 13
Nuno Espirito Santo: W5 D4 L6 Pts 19
Bruno Lage: W6 D3 L6 Pts 21
Julen Lopetegui: W6 D3 L6 Pts 21
Gary O'Neil: W5 D3 L7 Pts 18
Vitor Pereira: W7 D2 L6 Pts 23

He could have taken over on 0 points and we’d still be out of the bottom three.

Comparing to how Southampton and Leicester have fared with their new managers, it’s worked out very well. I’m not giving Shi any credit though.

Last 4 or 5 games I've started getting similar vibes to when Nuno was here, in that I never go into games expecting to lose, obviously we will will lose games but I think with players and coaching team we can get points against anyone.

I’m not giving Shi any credit though.

Not least as he voluntarily threw away a minimum of 2 eminently winnable games - we've beaten them both this week - with a manager who was evidently done (I would argue it was more than that) and we could have hired Vitor any time we wanted.

A better bottom three and that could have cost us dearly.

Turnaround is immense. I do still rate Lopetegui's time here but the achievement is probably even better considering the state of the club and squad when Pereira came in. With how bad things were after the loss to Ipswich, we could have easily gotten in someone shit and gone down. Fosun very lucky to stumble on a good coach who was desperate for a chance in England.

I wish we'd back him, he has earned it. Getting nowhere near enough credit amongst fans or the general media (who probably still think O'Neil was good).

I'd like to think so but won't be holding my breath.

Bonkers to think he took us over with the table like this

Let’s says two draws at worst. That’s possibly a couple of positions up the table. How much is that worth…much greater than and ticket revenue rises I’d imagine

Earned more points pro-rata than Moyes (P12 W4 D6 L2)

People will point, rightly in a way, that Wolves are fortunate that the bottom three are utter shite.

But when you look at West Ham being 9 points clear of Wolves, with a far superior goal difference, then I feel that is a better barometer to judge Vitor's performance on given that Wolves now sit only 3 points behind with a better GD.

Always expect us to score now, it’s a rarity when we dont

Tbf we've been scoring all season, difference now it's more controlled and we have a defensive structure.

In fairness Gary O'Coyle had us scoring in most games.

Man Utd (A) (robbed of a 100% penalty)
West Ham (A)
Brighton (A)
Brentford (H)
Newcastle (A)
Aston Villa (A)
Arsenal (H)
Bournemouth (H)
Liverpool (A)
--------------------
Arsenal (A)
Everton (A)

Only 11 blanks under him in 54 league games.

Leicester only 3 points better off. Cracking job, Ruud.
