I think that us playing in the PL this season disproves that. Shi finally getting his preferred man in apparently by deceitful means and then promptly losing him only reflects poorly on one person and it isn't the deceived one.... Where l will criticise JL to some extent is how he played being let down albeit he is not compelled to save Shi's face....
Apples and oranges. I know that GON had no pre-season but l don't recall him taking over a demoralised shapeless squad adrift of the rest of the league at Molineux (l know that to an extent he did so at Bournemouth)....
I know by your own admission that you are not objective when it comes to the topic of JL, but I'm afraid you'll need to run this one by me again. How exactly is he responsible for our thin squad, when most of the Summer sales went over his head, or even after he'd left? We spent in January simply because we had little choice - and the signings were very good value for the most part. The reason we came so close to FFP trouble ultimately falls on the shoulders of one Jeffrey "Teflon" Shi.
absolutely, as repeatedly said i lack any form of subjectivity with JL.
Completely agree. Even worse, after getting out of jail, they returned to that lazy attitude again with only three minutes away from a semi-final spot and a winnable match against United. Still fuming and there's two weeks for this anger to fester!
They all forgot to defend. The second goal is the most disgusting from a defensive point of view. Santiago Bueno had two chances to clear his lines but each time gave the ball tamely away to a Cov player! Disgraceful defending. Toti should never have come off. You could argue he would have been there to clear that flick on for their second goal. Oh while I'm at it Kilman was **** personified on Saturday! Cash in Wolves.
Fully agreed on this. No idea why we changed our approach from the Fulham game in that respect, it worked well for us Vs much better opposition.
Still niggles me too. Especially as they avoided Man City in the draw. A Wembley semi final would have been massive for us, although our injuries would have given me concerns for the game. Last week really made me worry our season will now fizzle out, despite Gary and the boys doing so well.
It’s my old man’s birthday today, gone to London for the day with my mom. Rang them earlier and my dads in a foul mood cos the train went through Coventry apparently, triggered some sort of PTSD.Still niggles me too. Especially as they avoided Man City in the draw. A Wembley semi final would have been massive for us, although our injuries would have given me concerns for the game. Last week really made me worry our season will now fizzle out, despite Gary and the boys doing so well.
And as much as its been a great season under the circumstances (still a PL club and a bond between the fans and the club has come back), getting well beaten by a Championship team, at home, in such an important game has really deflated me a bit.
I only wish they push now for the European spot, but seeing them struggle last week I just cant see it….
Gary got it wrong and so did the players end of story.Still niggles me too. Especially as they avoided Man City in the draw.

Because it's the Wolves thing.
Because our entire forward line was out injured. We would have won had they been fit.
More so referring to the fact we were winning after 96 minutes yet still somehow contrived to lose. However undeserved, it was still right there for the taking.
True and agree with you. But the game was also won at 90+6 minutes which is where the hurt still annoys me.
It was but then again Coventry should have been 2 or 3 up before we scored our first.
My trigger is that we had internationals from Spain, Portugal and Brazil in our side……….
One of those things. We lacked desire better team won and it wasn’t us. Probably hurts more as we was embarrassed by a lower league club who outfought us and outsung us. Simms and Wright are good enough for a mid table prem club. All of their goals through our own pathetic defending mind
he’s a great manager. the reason is he doesn’t take **** from anyone.
i don’t know even where to begin.
Jules was fantastic what an achievement he accomplished with us. Not his fault Jeff lied to him about the situation at Wolves. Either way both parties have parted and the grass somehow was greener for us so far despite many of us being very apprehensive
I've made it very obvious on here that I am a huge GON 'fanboy', but if things go as well as I am hoping, we could all be looking back on that whole ordeal as a kind of butterfly effect someday. I hope.
That may be true but how could he have lost such faith in the squad we had? He was a tinker man too let’s not forget and we also had woeful games under JL.
Gaz is doing great give him the war chest the future is all we need to worry about now
Absolutely. Give a man the right tools and he'll build you a sturdy house. I'm looking forward to the future as I'm sure lots of other people on here are as well.
He really will! I think couple of forwards and 2/3 defenders will see a mentality shift. Hard to tell who we will keep or sell at this stage though. Either way promising times ahead for the Wolves
he’s clearly a good manager, not so good a man.
Which may explain why he's still unemployed.
dani alves and robinho are (allegedly) not good men. JL is just a dick who’s a bit full of himself. Good manager though.
