    As Chris said he got lucky with results last season and the board were scared of racial prejudice if they gave the job to someone else. They caved in to pressure groups.
    Sentiment will never win you anything.

    I watched the game around the pub with some Wolves friends, and i was embarrassed when they kept putting the camera on Moore. What a big gormless looking bugger he looked.
    No ideas, no plan B, no charisma no passion.
    No chance of him ever getting sent to the stands.
    He has rode his luck by having a good squad despite his awful tactics, but now that luck has run out.
    I don't think we will make play offs under this buffoon.

    attacking football yes he got it badly wrong last night but as I keep saying our squad is not as good as some people think since Christmas we have effectively lost 2 players in Barnes and Phillips and we simply Don't have adequate replacements, yes we need to try something different but the problem all season has been the midfield and that is still the problem we had next to no creativity and pace last night and I don't see anyone at the club who is going to change that.

    Not under this idiot Soulman after continually making the same stupid selections/formations. The most lethal striker in the championship on the wing!!! Why not try Bartley in a centre forward position - what’s the difference?

Yes, there are still a lot of points to play for and a lot of them are winnable but our form must improve.
    Yes the home form has been poor Leicester, and that has cost us points, I think losing Harvey Barnes was a huge blow, we really had a swagger with him and it seems to have left with him too. I want us to go up but maybe I realise what a big ask it is when the whole structure of the team had to change, the way we play etc....no mean feat. If we don't go up I wont be expecting it just because. Tough league...took Wolves 8 seasons to get out and took us 16 years to get out the first time. We are up there at the first time of asking which I consider a positive thing.

    Positive thing with mainly a squad with premier league experience - don’t agree!!

    So do you agree Gayle is a winger? Do you agree with a 4-3-3 getting out run? Do you agree with Kanu over Murphy or Montero? Do you agree with subs or lack of them quick enough to change a game? Do you agree with Barry and Livermore in the same 4-3-3? Do you agree with all the fancying around at the back?

    Please don’t insult me with DM is still learning as the same awful glaring errors have been there since Boxing Day! What has DM done to address this?

    Not one real chance in the last 2 games is pathetic! Wolves were in a stronger league last year and came out of it for one reason - ambitious owners who invested in top players and a top manager. Our little runt is not interested and the club took the easiest option with DM - cheap cheap cheap and sentiment.

    Don’t go up this year - completely new team next year - worse players - even less investment and three teams coming down with owners who take more of an interest!

    Even those who have not knocked DM have started to lose patience. Look at Whicka - spot on with his comments and you can tell he’s getting pissed off too.

    Getting humiliated like that and going to the match was hard to take. Perhaps our pampered stars and DM want to pay for ticket refunds as after all £500 each on 20 coaches to watch a shower of crap was an insult!

    I know we are top 6 but many of our performances have been very poor and team selection becomes weirder and weirder.
    There were a few of us that said this would happen before we were relegated but a lot said he deserved his chance, you were also told that appointing the caretaker to the permanent job does not work, it is a cheap and nasty option. In a way the poor bugger has been used in a dreadful way by the club and now by the fans some of whom advocated he would be ideal. Dire straights we be in and look like staying there for some time to come.

    There is no long term plan. They are winging day by day. We have a team of other teams players on busmans holidays. If we do go up what then? Do we buy these players? Who in my opinion aren't good enough? Of the kids we have only one looks half decent but even he when not on the ball looks like he's towing a caravan.
    I totally understand why he started 4 3 3 against Leeds. Away from home we had took 24 points out of 27 so it WAS working. However at half time it should have took 2 minutes to analyse and pick the bones out that first half to see for that game it wasn't. It should have been changed, personnel should have been changed. Even when subs were made it didn't change. This is not down to experience as a manager. This is down to a basic lack of understanding of the game. No plan B. The fact that nothing was done speaks volumes.
