Here's a bold prediction. We will finish in the top ten next season.

I don't doubt that Lostcity. A weight has been lifted off our shoulders with the appointment of VP. And we are not getting those VAR howlers against us as we did under Gary. I just wonder if there was more to those VAR decisions than met the eye? Did some people have it in for Gary? Outrageous if so. VP seems to command the respect that Gary didn't.

Only if supported by Fosun.which is debatable

If Cunha is sold, plus probably Sarabia and Guedes, possibly Semedo and of course Silva but they keep the rest, why not?

They will have to replace Cunha, of course, but with Bueno, Lima and Rodriguez waiting in the wings we don't look too badly off. Johnstone will also go but do we need 4 keepers in the squad?

Cunha's replacement will likely be another South American reasonably priced prospect but they are out there. Earlier in the season Wolves relied 100% on Cunha but of late VP seems to have got the team performing without him, with Strand Larsen coming more into his own.

Obviously, I'd prefer him to stay but Fosun's policies will likely preclude that so let's see what the Summer brings.

I think Hwang might go also and possibly Doyle. Didn't even make the bench on Sunday. It'll be an interesting summer, but I'm very optimistic with our new manager.

I think keeping J Gomes and Andre will be key, I can see high bids coming during the summer, will fosun be able to refuse things given the current state of global politics?

Long, we definitely need a keeper. Possibly 2. Johnstone will leave Bentley and King are championship standard at best. And Sa is way too unpredictable and often a liability, with dreadful distribution.

East totally agree with you on Bentley and King, they need to go but I just think 4 is a bit ott. I don't rate Johnstone either really but Sa tbf has pulled off some pretty good saves to keep us in games.

I think they will target a new keeper, just not sure where that leaves Sa, will he go or will he stay as a No 2?

Johnstone was a strange signing, A total waste of time and money. Bentley and King are a waste of space. Sa is by far our best option, but we do need a viable back up, also a promising young keeper as our third choice.

Totally agree on Johnstone LCW. He's either sick, injured or when he did play was useless. A complete waste of money. Unfortunately another player we'll probably struggle to offload and doubt we'll even break even if we do sell him.

Review all the goals we've conceded this season, I suspect Sa was directly at fault for at least 10. Yes he's a good shot stopper, (but so is Johnstone on his day.) But as I said his distribution is rubbish, as is his decision making and positioning. You say he has kept us in games, well I'd say in the early part of the season, he's lost us a lot more games.

Hi EMW2,
Difficult with Sa really. You say he cost us games in the early part of the season. Possibly but I think his confidence was shot to bits with the poor defence he had in front of him. I think we that defence it would have made any keeper look poor.

Was it our keeper East or was it the woeful defence in front of him. The one area that Wolves, in fairness, completely improved at Xmas and look at the results since, with Sa playing his part in that.

It's all subjective I know but a ropey defence can make any goalkeeper look dodgy, but some do manage it unaided, like on Sunday.

It's difficult to predict defensive errors, if the whole unit is not well drilled and acting together it's going to be hard work for any keeper.

In my opinion the defense was jittery because of Sa rather than the other way around. It's hard enough to defend without having to be second guessing what your keeper is going to do next. Sa's unpredictableness hasn't only been early this campaign. It's been a long time I've been wincing at his performances.

Have to agree with Long on this and the stats also back it up. Jose Sa is currently on 6 clean sheets this season, now 5 of those have come since VP (and Agbadou) have been at the club, that ain't just a coincidence! Other thing with this is how much do peeps want us to spend on a keeper? Cause both Sa and Johnstone cost £10m, so if we want an upgrade we will have to at least double that spend. In the grand scheme of our current transfer policy I just don't think it's a sensible way to spend money. I actually think Sa has been very decent since VP arrived, he's made some big saves in some big games. I think the interesting question actually is does Sa still want to leave cause that may decide things either way ?
