    News circulating

    The Board wanting to speak with Bruno Lage regarding poor form and lack of goals.

    Might well be rubbish but it makes you wonder how much time Bruno will be given to turn things around after a costly transfer window.

    For Gods sake give the bloke a chance. He is just starting to get the players in he wants and needs time for them to bed in. Take Kane and Son out of the Spurs line up and see if they struggle for goals. We are playing some good football, we just need to get more players in the box when we break. I don't know if Costa will be the answer, but he should improve the situation.

    Sorry George but just look at the stats going back to last season. We haven't scored in over 20 of the last 40 odd league games! We won one of our last 14 last season, and just once this season. Our attack, or lack of it is highlighted by the media every game. We never get the numbers in the box, and even then the service is dreadful anyway. This isn't a knee jerk reaction but I've seen more than enough now to know Bruno has no idea how to set us up to be different.

    The goal scoring issue can’t be ignored, Bournemouth we’re a top ten side for a couple of years, went down the following season playing good football but unable to score. However I still think this is Bruno’s first real window and he’s had a real p*sser with both Raul and new signing Sasa injured. Raul hasn’t had a full pre season again, is possibly not fully recovered from his head injury. So it feels harsh to judge Lage negatively.

    In fairness he tried to play a back four last year and the team kicked against it, he’s since adapted the squad we have a similar defensive record to previously… but still aren’t scoring goals. Because of all the squad and formation changes, along with unforeseeable injuries he deserves more time. I’d give him another month minimum.

    However, looking back at the window… I think buying Guedes may have been a mistake, more of the same type of pacy creative players we already have in abundance. We should have bought another centre forward.

    Plater, you make many valid points, I like you are frustrated by the lack of goals. However, I am sure the Wolves coaching staff are aware of the problem and will be working hard to overcome this. Bruno, in fairness has been unlucky with injuries. I think the biggest rick was sending Fabio out on loan.
