A mess, lack of clarity and total lack of clear communicaction.
it’s hard to find a clear positive
we have lost our best player, sold so much depth and brought nothing additional in.
on the flip surely surely Neto, Cunha, Matteus, kaladjic, Fabio will contribute more this season…
and there seems to be some degree of hope..
As we approach the last two weeks of the window in dual hope.
firstly that we sell nobody else of scale (silva, matteus, kilman) and secondly that we find a way to bring in a few players (loans, obligation to buy loans etc) particularly centre half, right attacker and maybe a striker.
So logically we cannot start the season with optimism or lofty aims. We were in a relegation battle last season and haven’t strengthened. But there is one element for me with regards to having more humble goals. When I look back at wolves and think about our best seasons, performance, wins, those that left me with the best feeling and those when the crowd were really helping.
Almost all I can think of, are when we have been the underdog. It’s in the City’s nature and soul, we make a much better underdog. How many times have bottom of the table beaten us, yet we manage to then beat a top team. The club, players and fans drown under waves of expectation but I think thrive under injustice or a battle. So if there is anything positive to take (I’m trying here), it’s that we start expecting a battle, everyone is predicting we will be relegated and as fans we probably accept we will be the underdog most weeks. That allows for the passion, fight, determination to shine and gives us freedom to fail and freedom to go for it. This may be one thing in our favour, it’s hard to put into scale of course, but it might help us especially if we can keep the underlying feeling of negativity towards Fosun away (not easy but it won’t help the player). Molineux can be a cauldron of togetherness , a horrible place to come and one where as the underdog we can over perform.
So look, a tough season that will test us, maybe another player sale to test us, zero spend to frustrate, FFP to infuriate, but we have some top players and as the underdog, as fans, players, staff and City we can maybe over deliver. We just do make a much better underdog, especially with not so Great Expectations.
