Very happy with the 3 points and 3 goals.
A bit of a return to how we started the season, good going forward but not convincing at the back.
Hope James injury not too bad and pleased to see R. Gomes back.
Still have to say Munetsi doesn't seem to contribute much other than running around lots.
Difficult to knock a 3-0 win and on to the next, if we do start playing well at both ends we could just get into the top 2, a CF would surely help with this ?.
1.) 31 Oct 2026 17:58:23
Banksy51 tottaly agree with the 3 points played really well first half. Then second half all over the place Munetsi does nothing but give free kicks away. But 3rd in the league cant complain to much but def need a striker in Jan.
30 May 2026 11:56:46.
Is Trippier confirmed?
Think he takes set pieces as well, realise he getting on a bit, however I think it is a good deal.
Doesn’t mean I am convinced with Rob’s management or that Nathan is going to be the saviour but a good start I think. Happy for an early signing as well, we need many more though, a striker or 3 would be good.
1.) 30 May 2026 14:42:56
Yes, it's confirmed. Keen and Fabrizo have both confirmed it.
2.) 30 May 2026 15:00:25
No, it's not confirmed until he passes a medical. Nothing on Wolves official site.
3.) 30 May 2026 15:55:52
It's confirmed we've made an offer to him.
4.) 30 May 2026 17:30:53
The deal is done in principle, but cannot be completed until 1st July, when Trippier's Newcastle contract expires, unless Newcastle releases him early.
5.) 31 May 2026 10:59:11
I'm sure it will all happen when he returns from his holiday.
6.) 31 May 2026 19:45:50
It's odd it's been leaked before the club confirm it.
Is that the club's decision to attract other players, or by the agents to try and get a better deal?
Still early days in the summer, and it is good to hear experience is being targeted early on.
But why aren't we targeting pace up front?
Free agents that would be useful for this.
Harry Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin.
Also I think it will be interesting what Edwards does. Do we stick with a back 3 or move to a back 4?
Arguably the two Buenos should stay, but the rest of the defence isn't good enough.
I like the idea of Andre staying. I think Doyle and Devine would be shrewd players to have in midfield. But Kante from Middlesbrough would be smart as well. Having 4 midfielders allows flexibility with formation. You need to be able to play 2 or a 3. One reason we got relegated so pathetically was the opposition just pressed Andre and Joao.
Also we have forwards, but there seems to be no plan yet on what we are doing. So we may have Raul (who isn't quick), then Armstrong who is a solid Championship striker.
We need pace. It's a defender's worst nightmare.
7.) 01 Jun 2026 15:24:25
Agree we need pace going forward. Harry Wilson is never joining us though. He will have aims of joining a top-half Prem side. I imagine Villa might go in for him.
8.) 01 Jun 2026 17:44:46
Maybe...
I think fans forget that PSR is hard on all clubs these days.
As a homegrown player, they set higher salaries, as they are worth more to clubs in the UK.
Wilson, Elliott, McAtee, Tyrique George sound mad, but maybe one would be the catalyst to get promoted.
And, for any young player, the lessons are out there. Elliott and McAtee haven't loved their moves to Villa and Forest respectively.
9.) 02 Jun 2026 19:24:26
That's true. However, Wilson is 29 and was class last season. I do think we should go for more homegrown players, though.
03 Feb 2026 10:18:37
Morning all, only JSL leaves as far as I know, some will say he left in the summer so £48M seems a good price to me.
I am not that familiar with the quality of the 2 we have brought in, however in the position we are to get anyone in is a surprise.
Time will tell if they are good signings, I am sure there will be plenty more outgoings in the summer.
What is everyone else’s opinion?
1.) 03 Feb 2026 12:01:41
Banksy
Hard to be critical.
I would have liked more of the dross out - especially if Wolves can get such good prices. This would have helped with the early rehabilitation of the financial position and both prepare for the summer dealings and maybe even allow Wolves to keep some of the better players if possible this summer.
But to get £43m + for Larsen is a really good sale - regardless of what he does at Palace - as he was not much more than a training cone at Wolves .
The 2 boys coming in are very different.
Armstrong is a proven quality Champ player who is simply not enough for the Prem.
He is an ideal short term signing. If Wolves fail next season he should be fairly easy to move on to more ambitious teams albeit it is unlikely that as he moves out of his prime over the next year or so there will be any profit in the sale.
Angel Gomes however is a strange one. A full international only 2 years ago but now struggling to hold a place at Marseille and available for pennies?
He is also willing to come to Wolves where he will almost certainly be playing Champ football next year.
He is either a complete steal and will be brilliant for the club or he is a reclamation project with some risk attached due to his likely high, (Champ level), wage contract.
PS I don't buy the flip argument nor do I believe the parallel argument he is "putting himself in the shop window".
It somewhat incredibly would appear he is resigned to playing in the Champ with Wolves.
2.) 03 Feb 2026 12:10:34
Larsen had his head turned by Newcastle and felt he was better than wolves well we will see. On the incoming players Armstrong proven at the championship level so could well prove a good acquisition, Gomes if he is a shadow of others we have taken with man Utd history (Ince, irwin, Ebanks blake) then we will not be disappointed.
As for Agbadou he may still go as window does not close in Turkey until the 6th
3.) 03 Feb 2026 12:51:56
Transfer window average thought Wolves might have got a couple more in they did try with Che Adams bid rejected. I would try again in the summer window plus reports Wolves tried to sign a right back Rooij got knocked back. Also Forest tried to sign Wolfe for 14mill Wolves knocked that back lot of work to do in the summer fingers crossed straight back up.
4.) 03 Feb 2026 17:20:08
Keeping some of our better players was good considering a lot of people thought they would be gone. Not too much disruption in the team still gives us the slimmest of chances. I think the loans out were a good idea, both to help keep value (Munetsi) and get experience (Lopez). Also nice to see some players with prem experience and homegrown come in.
Surprised more people haven’t said anything regarding that seeing as it was a big gripe. Haven’t heard any guff either, other than Adam’s not getting over the line but that seems to be due to Torino not finding a replacement.
02 Feb 2026 10:01:44
If the signings go through I am surprised, thought it would just be sales at the last minute and then the usual excuses.
Angel, I think is a decent player, not seen that much of him but a good signing I think.
They must be confident that JSL will be sold.
13 Jan 2026 11:39:43
Would be sad to see Joao go, however from his side I would understand, if he is to leave, hopefully it will not be until the summer.
What are people’s thoughts, can we beat Newcastle?
1.) 13 Jan 2026 12:47:55
I think we can and we could get a run going the next 4 league games. One game at a time mind. But the aim must be to get within 9 points of Forest before the Forest game
I just want the club to bring two forwards (Pace!), a rwb and a cb.
I would sell Wolfe and Larsen.
I like the idea of McAtee coming in and freeing up space in the squad.
2.) 13 Jan 2026 12:48:07
Yes Newcastles away record is not that good Wolves play the way they have in the last 3-4 games could get a win.
3.) 13 Jan 2026 14:44:24
Agree DMac and Madman time is now for another 3 points and a good run. I am still not giving up hope just yet, would be good for a club to lose points for breaching rules about now. Think all we can do is try and win as many games as possible and see what happens.
Positive results and performances can only help and finish the season on a high for a change even if we are relegated.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 18:58:19
Madman, I agree with you on selling Larsen if we get the right money. This will allow us to buy a striker ready for an assault on the Championship next season as well as adding to the midfield once the inevitable Joao Gomes move happens. If not, we know we've got a decent player who knows how to score. Rob Edwards just needs to work out how to get tge best out if him.
I would keep Wolfe as he isn't on big wages, won't command a big fee and actually looks good going forward.

Very happy we won, up to 4th, if we had a fit decent striker where would we be. How did Sa play, any dodgy moments?
It has brought CP more time, not sure if this is a good or bad thing, have no confidence in them finding a good manager.
Very frustrating with our owners and Shi 2 as there is an opportunity for us to challenge at the top but they need to make better decisions, which seems unlikely.
Has anyone heard anything from Shi 2 recently?
1.) 24 Oct 2026 17:56:58
Tbf Sa quick thinking probably saved us 2 points. Watford hit a counter after you guessed it Munetsi lost the ball sa quick thinking and coming out saved a one on one situation.
2.) 24 Oct 2026 17:57:50
I think we played well in the 1st half but we badly need a clinical striker.
2nd half no so good and we allowed Watford to press.
3.) 24 Oct 2026 18:55:54
sa actually had a good game.
4.) 24 Oct 2026 19:11:04
Can anyone tell me what Munetsi brings to the team why substitute James and leave him on it baffled me.
5.) 24 Oct 2026 20:36:09
Tbf we didn't do very well against Bolton when Munetsi didn't start. And I'm fairly sure he's one of our top scorers this season. But yes surely James is the better option in the long run.
6.) 24 Oct 2026 21:22:01
I think the problem with munetsi is that when he makes a mistake it's a stand out. If he hit the target more id have no complaints goatmark.
James is obviously more disciplined and clinical and going back to the subbing and fans chanting 'you don't know what your doing' i took it to be for bring Doyle on, regardless wether it was James or munetsi, but fans arnt aparty to the fitness data etc collected by trackers the players wear these days, or aware of the coaches reasoning.
James is still maybe not fully match fit.?
24 Oct 2026 14:33:45
Hope we can win today, not sure how Sa keeps his place every week, fingers crossed we win and play well otherwise more pressure on CP, each year seems to be on repeat.
Reading what others have posted very concerning our finances, where does the money go?
21 Oct 2026 15:32:36
Unfortunately from recent history they will not act on CP for some time.
Surely some of the management will realise if he has lost the players already, if so, very little point in waiting in hope of things improving.
Personally after playing them lot I thought things were looking up for us all including CP, I hoped we would kick on with the same level of performance.
Not being arrogant to other teams, however, we should be beating the likes of Bolton and Portsmouth at home even with the players we have.
I think they will stick with him for at least the next couple of games.
Always the same then, we will probably scrape a win which means they persevere with him for longer, absolute shambles again, every year the same.
1.) 21 Oct 2026 17:33:16
I don't think that CP will be going anywhere in the near to middle future. The season is just starting so knee jerk decisions won't help things at this stage. What should be happening, and i hope it is, is that a shortlist of alternatives is being drawn up following due diligence being followed.
We may have to wait for a suitable replacement and hope that the club doesn't sink so low that it makes it an unattractive proposition to any possible candidates.
I hope that the club uses Ai this time round as there last few choices have proven unsuitable.
2.) 21 Oct 2026 17:36:57
Hi haven't posted for ages but read your messages every day well what can I say it's all doom and gloom for our club I think cp has lost the dressing room and well fosun they need to put up or put the club up for sale because I can't see them doing anything for us anymore I think cp will have a couple of more games if nothing improves he need to go and get Sean Dyche in temporary or look for a manager who can sort this out but a lot of the blame is Fosun.
3.) 21 Oct 2026 19:05:17
Don't shoot the messenger, but I'm going to post anyway.
Last night was abysmal, especially the first half but I do have a theory on that. A few weeks ago, we turned those down the road over, and everybody was singing from the rooftops.
Unfortunately we then went into an international break, just as we were getting to grips with the championship.
After the break we had what I consider to be one of if not the hardest game of the season, Boro on their own patch.
I think we were unfortunate not to come out of that game with at least a point.
I can't pass comment on the Bolton game as I was away, but they turned us over, and i maybe wrong, but that's when are supporters started to turn against the team and manager. Burnley away, we ground out a victory, all be it a but fortunate, but without the pressure of the golden palace supporters.
I maybe wrong, but right from the start of the game last night, the atmosphere was not great.
I know people will say that the team should perform to get the fans going, but it works both ways, and last night their was not the usual noise from the kick off. We may not have the best players in the world, but we do have some useful ones, and you can see what pressure was doing to them.
CP may not be the best man for the job, personally I think he needs to be given the chance to get us back to where we were for the albion game. If they decide to get rid, why would any decent manager worth his salt, want to take over when they see how previous managers have been treated.
It's a long season and I just hope we can return to the level of performance which saw us play do well against the tescos.
21 Oct 2026 10:16:42
Must admit I turned it off at HT, criminal behaviour I realise.
Frustrating to see us repeat the same each year. I had hoped CP and this year would be better. Think he is under pressure now, has to win at weekend in my opinion.
Our players aren't the best and you have to have a little sympathy that we have no striker, however I do believe they are better than what we are seeing now.
Does everyone think he has already lost the players, how long does he have?
Shambles again, what a mess which has to be from the top, Shi 2 same old, ridiculous.
1.) 21 Oct 2026 10:31:31
We've got to show some real purpose and effort on Saturday or CP and Shi will have some answering to do Banksy
Trouble is they never have a genuine response to make.
I wanna see those guys bust a gut for us, earn their money for the club, and give us a display we've paid to see.
Will they tho ? I honestly can't see it being any different approach than last night.
But, and it is a big big but, if raul had stayed fit or if we'd had a proven striker as back up, maybe we'd be in a better position with goals actually having been scored ?
Dunno, just despairing this morning.
2.) 21 Oct 2026 10:40:55
I could go through this team and criticise every player but I have come to the conclusion that these players are better than they look and it is the tactics of the manager to not to attack, to play at walking pace to only play square or backwards balls, hold the ball too long and pass to the opposition at every opportunity.
Yes we have a very poor team but surely the manager can see what we can see but does not know what to do about it. We have a team who plays with fear and no confidence so over to you Mr Manager do your job.
20 Oct 2026 15:51:46
Hope we can get a win tonight, be interesting, maybe scary to see the team as CP suggests changes.
Sorry state when Toti is captain and starts ahead of Krejci as he seems to have left already, really hoped he would get his head down and attempt to prove what a good player he is. Surely he has to try and impress any other coaches out there, maybe he has something lined up already.
Hope we start with our best team possible, whatever that is, and make changes later on when hopefully we are winning ??
I am still not keen on Sa, sorry, on crosses and corners I have no confidence that he won't try and claim the ball, either hit his own player or get knocked to the ground by a 5ft 0 giant.
29 Aug 2026 17:21:19
I don't mind at all. Traore staying, I think he is decent, just a problem keeping him fit.
If it is true that Krejci is going to West Ham, that doesn't make sense to me. I guess they are offering more money.
I think he would be better to stay, work hard, and prove his ability with us.
Replace Toti with Krejci (with his head on right). Defence looks better to me.
26 May 2026 16:02:05
I was going to ask about Doc as well, 47Vintage, presume he has fallen out with Rob or other way round.
Thought he may have been useful in the Championship as well.
Seems they have not changed in their treatment of players when they decide they no longer want them.
13 Mar 2026 16:50:39
I like R. Gomes and think he is one we should definitely try and keep. Still not sure what his best position is, though. Joao, I guess, will go, unfortunately.
14 Feb 2026 20:49:24
I agree DMac ?
14 Feb 2026 17:21:24
If we were a normal well run club I think he would be better to stay with us, think he needs a rest now to be honest.
16 Oct 2026 12:13:14
Mine gone on there as well.
13 Oct 2026 11:42:49
Games come thick and fast now. DMac, I would love to see us get close to 21 points over those games, if we are to be up challenging we probably need too.
Looks like Lopez and James are ok, in my opinion both need to start tonight.
CP says he will rotate, happy to see Krejci back for Toti, Neave for Armstrong and Sa can have a rest for me, we will see this evening ?.
08 Sep 2026 19:19:30
Hope you correct The Lovely Train. I like your optimism. ??
06 Sep 2026 18:49:40
Well spotted Flea, worth a try. ?
27 Aug 2026 16:59:05
Stoke, I agree, will be a tough game.
Don't think any of us will trust Fosun for a long time. Let us see what happens between now and the end of the transfer window. I really hope for no silly sales.
