Hope Rob makes changes tonight and go full strength on Friday for the Fa cup match?

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking about tonight's game.
I know Villa fans are usually nervous about playing us, especially at the Mol, but even they must have been expecting to win that one. It wasn't just by the odd lucky goal either.
If it's 0-0 at half time dare we hope for another result or do I just need to go and have a lie down?

Personally, I think we have a much better chance in the cup on Friday. I just don't think we have the strength in depth to compete with Liverpool over two games. RE will have to prioritise, and as we're pretty much relegated, I think he'll put our strongest team out on Friday and hope we can progress in that competition.

Is it to be another memorable night?
Is it to be another shambles?
Who can tell these days?
I'm hoping for an end to end performance with a few surprises up our sleeves.
Let's hope it's a good game and enjoyable for all in the old gold.

Hey guys, well done on our game Friday night you deserved the win, had to wait a few days to let some of the bitterness fade 😂😂 for what it's worth I hope ye can stay up, from the outside looking in there seems to be some fight left in your squad. good luck in the cup and the rest of the league👊

Thanks Whackattack, we do seem to be your bogey side. Having said that, it's hard to get too excited given our position. Personally, I'd rather lose to you lot in exchange for being nowhere near the relegation zone.

Thanks, mate. I hope you guys do make the top 4, tbh, just to rattle the entitled 6 lol.

Thanks, Whackattack. If we're your bogey side, every other team is our bogey side! At least you're a proper football club, history-wise, like us. I hear that Prince William supports you. Best of luck for the remainder of the season.

02 Mar 2026 17:37:23
Cheers, Whackattack. We'll need all the luck available, mate. I do wish you all the luck back. I hope you can break the 'big' monopoly in the top 4. You're a lot better than we are.

Won't be easy for us to get top 5 with the corruption in PGMOL. The United game on Sunday was a disgrace. Injuries to our midfield haven't helped either. Hopefully you guys can do us a few favours and take points from the Sky 6.

The football gods have been in touch. We will beat Liverpool once this week, and lose the other. If we win the league game, we will go to the last game of the season to see if we stay up or not, or win the cup game and will reach the final. Which would we prefer?!?!?!

28 Feb 2026 13:50:17
We're going down Plymouth, so not overly concerned, league win wise, but it'd be nice to go out with a bang and the FA Cup. Remember Wigan, I think, doing it. But we should aim to get something out of every game regardless. The problem now is fitness and stamina. RE hasn't the squad to play with too much. I get the strongest out on Friday.

I assume this is all hypothetical. Difficult one, as our last game is against Burnley, so if it's a win-and-stay-up scenario, that would be tempting, but would staying up mean Fosun change their approach (as going down surely does)? As for winning the cup, that would be great, as it would be real joy instead of a slightly hollow win against Villa or avoiding relegation, etc.
So, for me, it's winning the cup, but I would obviously take either.

Do we get a chance at Europe if we win the FA Cup?

Forget Europe, concentration should be about promotion back to Premier League.

01 Mar 2026 11:28:46
I agree, Wolves1963, I doubt 8 guaranteed European fixtures on top of 46 league and at least 2 domestic cup matches is plausible for a Championship squad. Worst case scenario is 56 to 78 matches.

So how inconsistent is VAR? Mane denied a goal scoring opportunity against Palace, penalty but no red card. Cunha denied a goal scoring opportunity against Palace, penalty and red card. Top teams getting the decisions again, unbelievable.

We know the rules, Wolvo. Top 6 teams get the rub of the green from the officials, because they protest loudest, and have deepest pockets and fattest lawyers. If you're Man City, with 115 financial offences, you get sentenced on the 10th of never.
If you're Leicester City, they hammer you with 6 points when you're hovering in the relegation zone in the Championship. A tale of two cities, eh?

02 Mar 2026 11:00:46
It'll be interesting if one of the so-called Big 6 is in the Championship next season, which is fairly likely. Not too much rub of the green for them - yet!

Has the romance really gone from the FA Cup? Sod how many games we might have to play in Europe, etc. Would you really forgo winning the oldest, most prestigious trophy in domestic football because we might have to play some more, lucrative games in a Championship season, Ardunby?
At my age, one more chance to see us win something would be incredible.
But surely the youngsters would prefer a cup and extra games; the Prem isn't the be-all and end-all in gauging success.

Abbey, we would all love to see a major trophy collected for the first time in 46 years. It's not the Europa League games that are the issue. We can play squad players and go out; it's the rearranged Championship games. What we can't risk is a double relegation simply due to fixture congestion.
1
03 Mar 2026 17:15:25
I agree, Abbey. Let's go for it!
FA Cup, here we come. Can they still get black and old gold ribbon for the Cup?
Arddunby, who's to say we'll stay in the Championship? 🤷🏼♂️ Up or down, Wolves, aye we. 🐺

So very happy we won last night, Emery stormed off as well apparently not waiting to shake Rob's hand. Joao was fantastic and whoever looked like Jackson 2nd half played well.
Not the worst team in PL history now, just hope we can continue with performances like this then I won't question Rob again 🤞👍

Sign of a good gaffer is to maintain the standards of last night's 2nd half & against Arsenal 2nd half, cus in-between we put in a half hearted performance against Palace. Good gaffers maintain standards.

Next target: get above Burnley and stay in the cup!

Not sure it was a half hearted display, Lex. If we had scored the penalty and not had someone sent off, I am pretty sure we would have won that match.

28 Feb 2026 03:18:58
If the players play every match like they did tonight dare i say it the great escape could happen only Liverpool are really a very tough match in our final run but they're wobbly at the moment.
We could potentially win all 9 matches, a very wise man said "dreaming is for free"
No i haven't been at the sherry lol.

We just need all our opponents to run out wearing claret & blue, our only two wins this year.

28 Feb 2026 15:11:40
I thought that too, HalfTimePie. I guess we like playing against those colours, and in torrential rain it would seem. On another note I got my wish last night, and we had all 4 Gomes on the pitch at one time.
Fairly sure it's a Premier League record. I looked up what the actual record is, and apparently there was a foreign team with all 11 players having the same name. Dubious, but that's what tinternet said.

Great work, Rollo! I'm only 65, but I missed the last train home, so had to camp out with Mrs PW! There's one due, should be home for 7am! See ya, Villa. You've been Gomesed! Wolves, ay we! Can't wait for Deepdale next season! Fwaw!!!

28 Feb 2026 04:48:23
Well, if we can show that amount of effort again against Liverpool (twice!), and we get the pitch similarly soaked, it could be an interesting week, Rollo, Was it because it was the vile last night? Or have we finally found some grit and pride? Everyone seemed committed in the end, and finally knew where to put the ball.
The first half was a bit hit or miss. I did feel for you lads at the Mol, in the rain, whilst sitting in front of the TV, but I'd much rather have been there with you. Take care, Rollo, and let's hope it's another 3 points Tuesday.

28 Feb 2026 06:53:20
Thanks, Abbey. Always love your posts. You're realistic, fair, friendly, and Wolves thru and thru. Thin squad, and a demanding week with the 3 squashed games. A bit worried we'll be knackered, but hopefully, with that lift to the spirits from last night, we can get something from Liverpool - a cup quarter-final would be fantastic, wouldn't it. 😁

28 Feb 2026 09:03:41
Thanks, Rollo. Yea, to be honest, I'd rather progress in the cup now than have the 3pnts Tues. Dunno what Re will be thinking, but we've got to rest a few somewhere, I'd think. Maybe in the league, then go for the cup? Liverpool will have an eye on the top 4 now we've beaten vile, and no doubt go strong Tues.
They've got depth that we havnt, but a cold rainy night can be a good leveller, so maybe another soaking could be worth it? Go careful with the night nurse tho!

I spent the evening at CD Tenerife watching an extremely entertaining 2-2 performance. The atmosphere was great despite Tenerife being in the third tier. Seeing fans with fairly recent shirts on with La Liga badge from their spell in top flight on their sleeves and sat 9 points clear in the table.
Also two goal scorers on 10 goals. Wouldn't be too hard to believe that's us in two seasons. Things could go very pear shaped championship season 1.

Jackson was decent the second half, if he plays like that every match i think he'll win us over.
Fantastic result means Derbys record is now safe.

Agreed. Rated. He was clearly told at half time to make use of that space and get the legs moving before crossing first time. His defending was excellent.
