19th August 2017.

Wolves 1 Cardiff 2

After starting the season with a lot of new players a number of which hadnt played in the Championship before. We started well against two perennial high spending/top six sides a few of our players had a bit of a rude awakening to life in The Championship. Cardiff rocked up pressed us all over the park, left the boot in, did loads behind the referees back and generally exposed our nativities.

Leicester 2 Wolves 0

After starting the season with a lot of new players a number of which hadnt played in the Premier League before we starting the season well against perennial top 8 sides where they more than held their own. In the second game against Leicester some of the players had a bit of a rude awakening. Diego Jota learnt he can't lose the ball on halfway without consequences unlike the Championship. Coady will know he can't stand off James Madison until it's too late.

Its a year to the day we have a few issues what need ironing out just as they did last season.

Crucially we were in the game against Everton and Leicester were literally clinging on for a large portion of the first half. We aren't being outclassed, we aren't getting smashed all over the park.

Once we get to grips with that, and have Dendoncker ready, a returning Cav and everything in between we will be fine.

Keep the faith.

I hate it when our nativities are exposed! Little baby Jesus should be fully covered up not to mention Mary & the sheep.

Leaving it in there, I'm committed now

All well and good but we didnt play man city in our next game like this season and we had already won games home and away totally different.

The Leicester match reminded me of West Ham at home as the first game of the season, when we were promoted under Mick. Vividly remember Mark Noble having all the time in the world to curl a beauty into the top corner because we didn't close him down.

There's no great comparison between the two sides, but James Maddison took advantage of the same mistake. That season under Mick, our back line conceded a lot of goals but very few of them were conceded by making the same mistake. Hopefully this game is a huge learning curve for our team.

To judge from last season, Nuno is very good at learning quickly. Mick was not in the same class, either as a coach or as an analyst of what needs to be done.
