Since goal ace Bakary Sako limped off in Wolves home victory against Bristol, Wolves have scored five times in 120 minutes for the first time this season since back-to-back victories against Bristol City and Birmingham in December.
The previously maligned Stephen Hunt has laid on three of those goals, but more importantly his dogged, determined approach has proved contagious and Wolves are finally doing the very thing that wins you games – working hard for each other.
Between Hunt, Ebanks-Blake and the two goal scorers yesterday, Sigurdasson and Doyle, Wolves have a …
It’s been an emotional week at Molineux. A passionate plea from chairman Steve Morgan to the fans, around fifty of whom protested ahead of last night’s home game against Watford, and a dramatic Bacary Sako equaliser that earned Wolves a vital point at the last.
I, for one, think that we’ve seen a hint of progress. I disagree with claims that Morgan and Moxey manage the club without its best interests at heart.
Fundamentally, they’ve just made some really rubbish calls – sacking McCarthy, appointing inexperienced managers to fulfil a challenging brief, …
Perhaps, considering the second half performance of Dean Saunders’ men, the defeatist chant was slightly harsh. However, particularly poignant was the new favourite ‘you’re nothing special. We lose every week chant today, as Wolves succumbed to yet another home defeat at the hands of top dog Cardiff.
Top dog they may be, but Cardiff’s success is a damning indictment of the strength it this Championship. As usual, it took nothing particularly special to undo Wolves defensive barrier. A hopeful long throw and a routine set piece gave the league leaders’ a …
In May 2009, the jubilant army of Wolves fans poured onto the pitch in ecstasy having watched their side clinch the Championship title having secured promotion to the Premier League a week before at Molineux.
Almost four years on, a very different scenario came to fruition. Furious fans berated their beaten side, who succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against fellow Championship strugglers Barnsley, in a game they controlled and led in the early stages. A result that sees them slide into the red zone, once again, and closer to a disastrous …
Blackpool avenged the 2-1 defeat suffered at the hands of Wolves before Christmas, two goals from Tom Ince flipping the scoreline on this occasion. While the losing home side were nowhere near as dominant in this encounter, Wolves fans will have certainly left the game wondering how their side contrived to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It all started so well. On paper Peszko and O’Hara added strength to the midfield and the absence of Ward gave some hope that Ince wouldn’t run riot as he had done at …
On the 28th of April 1994, two rugby enthusiasts bore a child, into a humble, yet middle class background from Oxfordshire. Now 16 years on as my father begrudgingly drives me to football matches, both for the team I play to Molineux to see the mighty Wolverhampton Wanderers; I wonder if it is really possible to embrace the culture of being a football fan of a team who’s followers have such a different background to myself, and whether all the obstacles I must overcome in order to be a …
So the Easter weekend is over, and we we’re unlucky not to take a point home with us form the Emirates Stadium. The bitterly disappointing 1-0 defeat to The Gunners leaves us in 14th place, 5 points adrift of the relegation zone with 5 games to play. With a better goal difference than everyone else below us bar West Ham, have we done enough to secure another season in England’s top flight?
Portsmouth are all but guaranteed relegation, so it leaves just two spots to avoid. Our run in is, to …
Wolves may have turned up at Glanford Park expecting an easy victory. After all, just two years earlier, they had strolled home by two goals, against what was arguably a stronger Scunthorpe side than that of their current squad. But it wasn’t all plain sailing…
Despite missing the influential pairing of Michael Kightly and Sylvain Ebanks-Blake, Mick McCarthy still named a strong line-up, including summer signings Andrew Surman and Ronald Zubar, although the placing of Nathan Mendez-Laing, an academy scholar, raised a few eyebrows.
However, just six minutes in Wolves were firmly under …
Approximately half way through a grueling Championship season and Wolves lead the chasing pack of Reading and Birmingham by 5 and 7 points respectively. And whilst all of the Molineux contingent would have bit your hands off for this at the beggining of the season, Wolves fans remain suprisingly pessimistic.
True. Two consecutive home defeats is cause for concern if you are gunning for a spot in the greatest league on earth. But try telling that to Charlton and Southampton supporters who turn up week in week out, just to see …
