The Ten Percent Rule I mentioned in my last video that #WBA did well to get Matheus Pereira on the ball around 10% of all their touches during the game. He felt like a large influence and I wanted to explore this further from a #WWFC perspective. https://youtu.be/3iDXHVxYGtw So I decided to have a look … Continue reading Gully’s Tactical Analysis – Half-Term Report
Wolves vs The Dementor
We've all got one. Perhaps more. For me it's Diomansy Kamara careering down the left channel before scoring and doing that utterly ridiculous and inexplicably infuriating celebration. Also, Gary Breen's pure anguish after miscuing a clearance directly to Kevin Phillips - I don't need to tell you the rest. He was 'inevitable', in the words … Continue reading Wolves vs The Dementor

And in the time it takes you to delete a tweet from nearly a decade ago, football is back. It's a new season and all of the ills and lingering doubts of last season have dissipated as every fan in the country regenerates the optimism that only a new campaign can bring. Yes? No? To … Continue reading Bottle
Show and Tell and NFL
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find new things to say about Wolves right now. Each game like clockwork. Slow start, step up a gear before half time, put the foot on the gas in the second half, score one or two goals and hold. Rinse and repeat. Three wins from three, three clean sheets from … Continue reading Show and Tell and NFL
BAU
It’s been a while peeps - how are we all? First and foremost I sincerely hope everyone’s health is in a good way and has been over the past three months of lockdown. It’s been a strange time and much has changed over the course of the period. Heck, I’m 10 kilos lighter myself. Change … Continue reading BAU
Top Individual Performances – Part Five
I’d like to think I’ve saved the best for last. It’s the most recent of the performances I’ve called out and I’ve had the added benefit of the Wolves media team uploading a full replay of the game in question as part of their regular content in the lockdown period. You can find it here. … Continue reading Top Individual Performances – Part Five
Top Individual Performances – Part Four
The next man in my series was without doubt the stand out player at the club during his time with Wolves and performances like this are why he will be revered for years to come. Some footballers are just impossible to ignore. When they play, it’s as if the game revolves entirely around them. They … Continue reading Top Individual Performances – Part Four
Top Individual Performances – Part Two
When it comes to individual performances, sometimes, like my previous instalment, a player reaches beyond their usual levels to answer the need of the team, before reverting back to type and going on to make less of an impact. Sometimes though, an individual is exactly that - a stand-out in a sea of mediocrity, a … Continue reading Top Individual Performances – Part Two
Top 5 Individual Performances – Part One
It's been a while. I've been in a bit of a daze, wondering what on earth there is to do without football. Football Manager 2020 is filling some sort of void, but what is a man to do once you've won all trophies available and have just signed Erling Braut Haaland? There is always a … Continue reading Top 5 Individual Performances – Part One
Uncharted Territory – In Defence of Football
And now the end is near, and so we face the final curtain. Not sure Frank ever envisaged his famous words would be the opening gambit of a football blog on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, but there is a first time for everything and a number of firsts are being … Continue reading Uncharted Territory – In Defence of Football
