Every now and then, football teams make signings that make you sit up and take notice. Wolves have started doing it every transfer window. It all started 18 months ago. In came Ivan Cavaleiro, fresh from the glitz and glamour of Monaco. As if that wasn't enough, the real revelation from that transfer window, Helder … Continue reading Signing on the Jot-ted Line

Ivat Doherleiro
Well that's it then isn't it? Crisis averted. We are nothing if not an emotional bunch, us Wolves fans and despite what people might tell you, this victory was very, very welcome for our hearts, minds and non-grey hairs. I'm a fully paid-up member of the 'Keep Calm and Trust In Nuno' club. We wear … Continue reading Ivat Doherleiro
Talking Tactics – Plan B-?
Much has been made of our slight dip in attacking verve and goal output recently, so I thought I'd delve into my footballing tactics handbook to see how Wolves could adapt their current approach without dipping into the transfer market. Before I start I must admit that I don't see too much wrong with our … Continue reading Talking Tactics – Plan B-?
Lost in the Forest
Well this feels weird. Here we sit, on the back of a first defeat since October. We went all that time without a loss. It was like a wet November, December and half of January, drunk on victory. Saturday was a sobering experience for us all. When it comes down to it, human beings don't … Continue reading Lost in the Forest

That snarl and snap that overcomes you when we go a goal down. It's just there. You can't escape it, regardless of the significance of the fixture. … Continue reading FA Cup Swan-song
Mind the Gap

I remember my last trip to Barnsley, a famous, title-clinching day which highlighted all that is good … Continue reading Mind the Gap
Bright Lights, Big Alfie
The FA Cup hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us Wolves fans in my lifetime, and yet it's provided some of the best moments of my time supporting the club. I've mentioned the famous victory over Leeds in 98 previously, but other moments include beating Newcastle at home in 2003 and who could forget … Continue reading Bright Lights, Big Alfie
Winter Wanderer-land
We brought the curtain down on 2017 in some style didn't we? The last minute of the footballing year resulted in us cementing our spot on top of the league in a game full of triumph against adversity, leaving us entering 2018 sitting pretty, casting a shadow over the rest of the league. In the … Continue reading Winter Wanderer-land
