I have seen a report by Wolves Insider that the club gone back on the deal with Traore due to them feeling we have enough depth in the squad. Don’t know if this is reliable or not? If he does sign in the end please let me know.


Prediction for the game 4-1 our way.

FcWolves, all reports I've read say he's already signed a 1 year deal with option of a 2nd if promoted.

Nothing on the official club site. Hope there is nothing in the rumour that we are having second thoughts. I think he looks a really good addition.

I would believe a word that Football Insider print. They're full of more s*** than a public toilet.

Wolves Insider are clickbait, mate. Deal is done with optional year if we get promoted.

Guess he'll only be staying for any year then, Rated. We're a long way off promotion. Our defence is a shambles.

Hate to say it but I said we lacked pace at cb and in the forwards all preseason.

Solutions. There's a couple:

1. The defence has to play more narrow, and the wide forwards, Mane/Armstrong and R Gomes, must track back. There's too much of a gap between the midfield and defence. Andre needs to switch on. The wide forwards not tracking back is the reason Patrick Roberts was able to play his pass to Stansfield.

2. Not yet, but if we have no success we revert to a back 3. Start keeping clean sheets and play JJ next to Andre from the start. The main reason he doesn't do this is that Cesar likes to have engine players that he can bring on to press and win the ball higher up the pitch in the second half. It's still early days, but is Munetsi doing enough in 65-70 mins right now?

3.

Standards need to be set for Mane, R Gomes and Armstrong, with rewards for hitting so many goals and assists before November. Nuno was great at setting the squad short-term targets, which meant they were more focused. If they don't move, Raul is invisible. It's vitally important they move and link up with Lopez. Just hugging the sideline isn't good enough this season; they must be proactive.

I'm going to leave Jackson alone about the freak OG, but encouragement-wise, it's about consistent quality, not just getting to the byline. The crosses must be better than they were today.

Positives: R Gomes, Armstrong and Raul. Raul's free kick would have gone in on another day.

We should have had a penalty as well...

If Armstrong is a positive 2gen, then we are in a very poor position. He was a complete waste of £7 million pound.

Sorry, B Hill, my comment was those players had chances that we should have taken. It could have been another 4 goals for Wolves.

Fosun - your lack of tactical football knowledge is startling yet you still keep telling us what is needed.
You say that these players must now do this and other players must do that. The coach will have been working on his style of play and his in game strategy but you want him to rip that up and change ya tics and even formation because Blues scored from a handball and an own goal!
Have a day off mate because you do make yourself look silly.
This is a new coach and who has been working with the players for a short time, robbed of two of his starting defenders to injury and only just able to reintegrate a couple after the transfer deadline.


He is not going to change his playing style which has got him where he is now because of an away draw against a local rival.
In all honesty I was quite pleased with the second half defensively as they really didn't look like scoring other than a header that looped onto the bar.
Let's let the players settle in and adjust to being in the championship (with no VAR to give decisions) and get out injured players back and we should be fine.
But please stop preaching your tactical nonsense as it's embarrassing.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Have some manners, Tommo.

Damn straight, Sucka. You can't be talkin' like no jive turkey.

Tommo, I'd agree, but he has had three months with these players.
If the tactics and style isn't ingrained now, you have to ask questions on the personnel.
As predicted, the cbs that we've watched for 3 or more years now lack pace and don't suit a back 4.
Tchatchoua has had a season in English football now, so the questions get louder and louder.
Every one of those cbs is a squad player in bottom half Premiership teams. They don't have the pace or technical skill to play as a back 4.
Arguably, Djiga, our 5th choice cb, is our best cb so far this season.
So, yeah, I am annoyed that Alleyne and Philips were available.
But, the reason they play out from the back is because there's no pace in the final third.


Under the cosh on Sunday, we should have had an outlet with pace (hopefully Traore and Said bring this later on).
It's called counter-attack; every team should be able to counter-attack, as it's bloody useful to punish the opposition.
And, we can rearrange the dinner table as many times as we like, but these two weaknesses are glaringly obvious to fans who have watched the club the past three seasons, in particular since Neto, Ran, Cunha, Sarabia and Semedo have left.
I say Neto, as that season we had two threats with pace that was changed to one when he never even wanted to go to Chelsea.
Beggars belief.

Now I agree with all of that, Fosun, and you have a point about how long he has been there. However, some players came back late, some have been injured, and some only arrived recently.
I just think that 7th September is too early to rip up your plan and start again, when we've only lost once and scored lots of goals.
Personally, I think Krecji and Djigga played well, but were let down by both full backs, Munetsi, who charges about instead of holding the shape, and a goalie who has been a liability for 3 seasons.


Don't know much about Konan, but I'd give him a go and get Tripps back, and I think we are ok.
Having said all that, we conceded from a handball and a comical own goal. At West Ham, we conceded to a 'worldie', a big deflection, and a pen.
Give the team and coach time to settle and the style to bed in before we start wanting radical change - we have done that for 4 seasons now and look where it has got us!
