Wolves v Brighton match day thread

[sausagenegg]

We’ve earnt our league position by resolute defending, until now, and having more possession than under Nuno. Goal scoring has been a season long problem, we were creating lots of chances at one stage but don’t have a consistent goal scorer in the side.

There seems to be a growing lack of confidence through the side, Boly and Saiss in particular had terrible games yesterday. Seven defeats in ten… Fosun must be getting twitchy. I’m not sure I’d trust Lage with the transfer pot in the Summer at the moment.

Nor me.

But how much say does he really have regarding incoming players?

At least I managed to get the Wolves sore correct in my match prediction. I have to say that yesterdays performance was the worst I have seen from a Wolves side for several seasons. They looked like strangers on the turf. Passing was poor , little or no movement and tackling non existent. I hope it was just a bad day at the office.

However, late last night rumours appeared that there had been a training ground bust up in the week between Jonny, Raul and the Manager. This could explain why the two players were on the bench. The squad has always appeared to be very tight, with a good team spirit, but if the rumour is true it's a bit concerning.

The Manager needs to be in charge and not the players, if not we will have a Manchester United situation. No player is bigger than the club. Some think that Bruno could be on his way out, but the man needs time to build his team with players that he wants. I hope Fosun will see sense and allow him this. He appears to be a good coach, but his man management skills may need some honing, re, the public comments he made some weeks ago about Hoever!

Yet again the manager changes the team to start a critical game. To compound this mystifying decision he hauls off the one player who looks like he's up for the fight at half time, Silva, leaving the hopeless Hwang on! Whoever made the decision to sign this player should be sacked immediately!

Saiss doesn't want to sign a new contract, and it showed on Saturday. I wouldn't play him again, I'd start with Gomez. Boly isn't the ayer he was two seasons ago but due to the injuries we'll have to stick with him for now. Dendonker is next to useless! He has one decent game in 10 and isn't the box to box midfielder we need.

We're no longer under any financial restrictions and the squad needs a major overhaul, I'm even including the manager in that!

Loads of rumours(?) circulating regarding training ground bust ups, senior players unhappy with the public condemnation of Ki-Jana Hoever, players not happy with tactics, the list goes on....

Whatever is true and what isn't, I think there will be only one loser here.

Hmmm, I haven't heard anything about this, although I'd imagine training ground spats are part and parcel of a professional football club, and convenient for these rumours too emerge during a poor run? If there is any truth in this then perhaps us fans will lose out too... if key players decide not to sign new contracts.

Yeah, I've read about this. I think it came from a podcaster on twitter.
