    Can this squad play attractive football

    My wolves mate reckons we can't don't have the players. Player for player, we are better than wolves.
    Of cause we do, most of our team are good footballers. The system under Pulis was the problem.

    soulman tell your wolves mate the same thing I told my old wolves mate .playing attractive football against burton Barnsley or qpr ,is a bit a big bit different of playing attractive football against Man City Chelsea or the like,as they will find out.

    We played well enough to 'score' first against Chelsea...that little tit-bit was enough to show we can.

    Agree the TP method was at fault.

    Probably a shame that Horace Batchelor is not around any more with his Infra Draw method perhaps we could have applied that...

    100% we can play attractive football. I think 3 at the back doesn't suit us, neither does three defensive midfielders!

    We have HRK, Brunt, McClean, Chadli, Burke who have all on the bench. Morrison to come back in.

    I'm not saying go gung-ho. Lets just have a go at sides outside the top 6. We're generally pretty solid defensively with our back 4 and a holding midfielder in front of them. What have we got to lose?

    You of course are correct, but did we not hold Man city to a draw at their place in the cup recently. We are the only team they haven't scored against this season.

    Hope you are correct 123. Watched Watford yesterday, and have done so on a couple of occassions this year, and I fail to see that we can play that type of attractive football, we don't have the same type of players imo. But there are of course different types of attractive football.

    Sorry that wasn't a serious post was it? We haven't lost to QPR this season either.

    Oh yes it was a serious post. We have also lost to Cardiff and Sheffield United this season but at the moment we sit top of the Championship.

    Wolves have started great and they are playing some lovely stuff, but it's only halfway through November. To start saying their players are better at this stage than an established premier team is ludicrous.
    It's the attitude of their fans that gets my goat with them.
    You would think they would learn, enjoy what they are seeing, but keep it buttoned until success is assured.
    They never do. Fif**** years ago they were sweeping all before them, the fans then put pressure on the team by acting like they were already up, then they blew up, couldn't buy a win, couldn't even come up through the play offs.
    I have to say i have been impressed with them this season. I went around the local and watched them when they played Fulham and they won deservedly. But, the howler by their keeper would have resulted in a goal at prem level.
    The gap in class between the divisions is huge, the prem is a merciless unforgiving place.
    And they aren't even halfway towards it yet.
