Did we get the left back?
1.) 03 Sep 2026 00:17:41
Yeah, Ghislain Konan.
31 Aug 2026 14:46:09
Wolves have rejected the bid on Sky Sports.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 17:59:48
For who?
2.) 31 Aug 2026 19:59:03
Dmw, bro.
28 Aug 2026 13:06:17
Sam Johnson linked with Celtic
27 Aug 2026 21:54:04
There must be more to that Reiss Nelson contract termination. Can't see why they would do that rather than sell him. Don't make sense. Something isn't right to me.
1.) 27 Aug 2026 22:03:42
I suppose it depends how much he was on and how much clubs were willing to pay. Seemed nailed on to go the WHU a week back, wouldn't be surprised if he still does.
24 Aug 2026 21:59:08
We are linked with Ipswich goal who nearly went to Valencia.
1.) 24 Aug 2026 22:34:49
Simon and Laura found this report issued by Suffolk local media at 21.49pm tonight.
Ipswich Town goalkeeper Kayne Van Oevelen has finalised a season-long loan move to Valencia.
2.) 24 Aug 2026 23:12:29
Might have fallen through, and therefore linked with us.

All this about the prem is a bit premature. We got to get up in really strong championship league, only 5 games in, but we don't look like a top 2 side.
1.) 13 Sep 2026 14:06:35
No, we certainly don't. 3 points today, but we are so sloppy at times. A better team than Sheffield would've finished us off, much like West Ham did.
2.) 13 Sep 2026 14:16:09
Wolf1, totally agree that the performance was shocking. Second half, no shots at goal, no touches in the box, astonishing. Till the last 15 minutes, I think, unbloody believable. Why is James not playing? Best player in the league last season, but Munetsi starts in front of him. Armstrong runs around alot but nowt else. Once again, lucky to get anything, never mind 3 points.
3.) 13 Sep 2026 14:27:18
Agree with all the above. Great to secure 3 points, but the team looks disjointed and not convincing.
Manager needs to sort out the line up. James, Tripper (I know, fitness issues) and I would say Doyle must become starters.
Current starting 11 not quite right.
4.) 13 Sep 2026 14:56:08
Some of you are seemingly always unhappy. We draw 2-2 and the defense is the problem. We win 1-0 and the offense isn't good enough.
Yes, there were a few spells where we didn't have control, but overall we dominated this game.
The only time I was a bit uneasy was on corners and long throw-ins when Sa had to go up to catch the ball. He's never confident to hold on, and constantly drops the ball. Maybe he should switch to punching the ball instead?
5.) 13 Sep 2026 15:13:52
Were you watching the same game? Second half, SU had 9 attempts at goal, Wolves none. 20 touches in Wolves 18 yard box, Wolves had none in theirs, until the last 10 to 15 minutes, and Wolves controlled the game. Wolves were very lucky to get anything. Set up not right.
Munetsi in front of James, not right. Armstrong in front of Jimenez, not right. Toti, on as sub, playing RB, can't kick a ball with his left foot, never mind RF. And you think that was a good performance? I'm sorry, it was crap for most parts, till Jimenez scored.
6.) 13 Sep 2026 15:27:16
DMac, where did you see 9 attempts at goal for SU? I see stats showing 4 shots/2 on target for SU for the whole game. And, just because touches in the box don't mean anything if you don't get shots that are on target. Our defense was pretty tight as they got close, so good job by our backline.
7.) 13 Sep 2026 15:28:46
NJ, I take it you and one or two others are being mischievous.
Optimism is good, but facts are what views should be based on.
Based on those, we are not improving, say, like WH.
The manager has much to consider before we can challenge the top sides.
We all hope we can, but the stats currently say otherwise.
8.) 13 Sep 2026 15:55:55
Rugeley, what "facts" are you speaking of? To me, you are only offering opinion also, but no facts or stats. Plus, if you know anything about stats, they can be read in different ways to prove a point. IMO, we were in control of the game, the only question was if we could put one in.
Another thing I notice with many posts is the opposition never seems to be given credit for their play; it is always our players who don't do this or that.
9.) 13 Sep 2026 15:58:16
We seem to be watching different games. Yes, we gave the ball away too easily at times. Yes, Sa didn't always catch the ball. Was he fouled on those occasions? Coz we were certainly awarded kicks, and Bamford etc had been set up to nudge him at every chance.
We had far more 'attempts' than they did.
Munetsi could/should have had us 2 up in the first half.
Most long balls were over hit, or maybe Armstrong would have been on some.
If I'm going to pick a fault, it's with Mane today. He seems to look for a defender to run towards instead of getting the ball away, and our corners are almost so predictable.
SU set out to defend, and employ the old 'clip his heel', 'elbows out' and body nudges. Fortunately, the ref got in with a yellow early doors when their lad clipped Fer.
Two other calls for penalties were not given, and there was an inspired persistence to the end, with Andre, who was immense, Tripps and Raul providing via Doyle. All 3 points.
Good game, well won, and despite frustrations, a hope for better things to come. Hopefully next week.
10.) 13 Sep 2026 16:31:25
I didn't see the game, as I'm in France playing cricket, but judging from the stats I see we had 16 shots to their 6. So, sounds like we did ok. Admittedly, stats don't tell the whole tale, so will have to take what people say.
Although hard to judge when some people say 9 shots second half compared to 4. Who knows what to believe. ?
11.) 13 Sep 2026 16:32:57
I agree, Abbey. Every team is now bumping Sa, or at least trying to cause him to be tentative. Luckily, we did get some foul calls when that happened, but I don't agree that all should have been considered fouls. Sa opens himself up to this from the opposition because he can't catch or defend the high ball very well.
If he did, they wouldn't waste their time trying to disrupt him. This has always been a major weakness for Sa. Unfortunately, he will never get better with it.
Until Said comes back, I don't see CP as having much of a choice but to continue to use Mane in games. Much like Tchat's continual use until Trip returned.
12.) 13 Sep 2026 16:50:42
NJ, a few from other posters. Just one to add, in terms of goals conceded, we are 12thish.
I agree, today just about edged it, but Su are mid-table mediocrity. Surely we should be measuring ourselves against the top 2/3 sides?
I hope as much as you.
We are in the top 2 at the end of the season; we just seem to see the current situation differently.
13.) 13 Sep 2026 18:54:26
It's all good, Rugeley. We can all have differing opinions. I'm more glass-half-full in my optimism than glass-half-empty, especially considering we only just played game 6 of 46.
14.) 14 Sep 2026 07:02:24
One last point on Sa. Look at our CB so far: Mosq and Toti, Deija and Toti, last two Deija Kreiji, ending with Kreiji Toti. Is Sa getting the protection, or maybe having to go for balls beyond his comfort zone sometimes?
I havnt looked at or rerun any videos, just crossed my mind.
10 Sep 2026 10:32:58
Yea Santi off and it sounds like PLima might be going also.
1.) 10 Sep 2026 12:21:34.
Santi gets his move. He won't be missed.
People are saying Lima should be starting ahead of Tchatchoua, but Lima isn't good enough to be starting games at RB. He's worse than Tchatchoua, and coaches at Wolves moving him forward suggests that people cleverer than me also don't see him as a RB.
2.) 10 Sep 2026 13:07:31
Santi was Mr. Reliable last season, the only defender who could defend!
Good luck to him.
06 Sep 2026 16:22:09
Is it, or is our middle just Andre and box to bix muensti or James? We won't win games with 1 midfielder... Andre will just get run ragged. Must be three, with Andre as DM and two runners.
I know u sacrifice aw wide player, but Fer as a 10 and Raul Mane or Rogdigo or even Armstrong, we would have more control in games and still runners.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 17:12:38
I think Wolves' issues are mostly in defence, but also in attack. Jimenez doesn't suit Peixoto's system. Armstrong definitely doesn't.
I think Jimenez was brought in to placate the fanbase, but also to play next to Armstrong in Edwards's system.
I think Mane, Gomes and Lopez are almost playing around Jimenez.
Regarding the defence, it's amazing that Krejci comes in to replace the disaster that is Toti, and now everyone can see the disaster that is Tchatchoua.
Two of the worst defenders I've ever seen in a Wolves shirt.
Sadly Wolves are in for a tough season, and Fosun are 100% to blame. Lose Lopez to injury and Wolves won't win a single game.
They have zero chance of finishing above West Ham and Boro. Zero.
To be honest, I think Swansea are better than Wolves. I've seen them play a couple of times and they're impressive.
2.) 06 Sep 2026 17:42:19
The attack is not the problem. 13 goals in 5 games would back this claim up. It is the defence which is 100% the issue. Toti and Jackson just ain't good enough. Usually, the weak link is Toti, but today, Jackson imploded and cost us dear.
3.) 06 Sep 2026 18:10:16
I get what you're saying with the number of goals, but I think there is an issue forward of midfield.
Wolves don't have a 20-goal-a-season forward.
I've also said in another post, I feel that the midfielders are playing around Jimenez.
With Mane, Lopez and Gomes on the pitch, Jimenez will barely touch the ball.
In Peixoto's current system, Jimenez's cover is an untried kid from Newcastle, and Armstrong, who isn't very good.
Lopez gets injured and Wolves will struggle. Almost all of the attacking play goes through him.
06 Sep 2026 14:20:26
Well we got dominated by Blues second half then Armstrong who is poor in my opinion should of won it... I want fer in the attack 10 not getting on the ball so deep... We dont look like scoreing after first 30mins... glad we put Kretij back in defence...
Raul aint going ro get 20 goals a season unfortunately... Jackson well poor performance and tht own goal iv got no words sa should be screaming clear it though... We didnt look like a top championship side at all work to do on training ground definitely.
06 Sep 2026 11:47:03
I'm going 2 nil to us today.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 12:57:43
Is that just Tchoutchou v Sa Simonandlaura? What an outrageous OG. He thinks he's wearing Sky Blue in the halftime break.
We've got to get our heads up, and confidence back again now.
Thought we were doing OK until the shocker.
If we can come out with the same desire 2nd half, we can nick it.
Brum can't be underestimated tho.
2.) 06 Sep 2026 12:57:48
A clean sheet? As I've stated, every game we will have to outscore everyone to get any points...
Was relieved to see Toti on the bench, but as long as Calamity Jackson is on the field you're guaranteed goals - what a clown he is.
Anyways, half time has been entertaining, if not outright hysterical.
Hopefully, Djigga is able to continue second half, as we can't have both liabilities on the field at the same time.
UTW.

Is he any good? Does anyone know, Iv never heard of him.
31 Aug 2026 19:59:03
Dmw, bro.
26 Aug 2026 17:05:25
I very much doubt we will get 10mill for him, maybe 5 and Hwang 5 from somewhere.

3ha ha ha ha ha llllllooooollllll Rated, that's awesome. Fringpong was always linked, but never arrived.
25 Aug 2026 15:46:10
He's been linked for about 5 years and 5 managers. Not saying ur wrong, but he's a constantly linked player for some reason.

Other than Armstrong is a starter, I somewhat agree, but for me, Armstrong is poor.
07 Sep 2026 14:31:23
Actually want to change manager again after the bloke's only had 5 games? Ridiculous, mate. To be honest, I completely disagree with you. I value everyone has an opinion, but come on, he's 5 games in, we don't want to change managers after 5 games.
06 Sep 2026 16:15:29
Siad 5 a bit harsh, considering injuries, first game. Also, Raul 8 might be heart rulling head, bro.
05 Sep 2026 22:21:48
Our side now is better than that side then.
04 Sep 2026 18:22:46
Kieran Trippier to Specsavers? Who are they, what league are they in. ???
