4 points

Leicester - 1
Spurs - 3
Man United - 0

What's yours?

Does a tough start of fixtures matter? Will it better prepare us for the season ahead or would you prefer we eased ourselves in? (not that we can change it)

1 1 & 0 so 2 points and I would be happy, any more and ecstatic, any less and what I really expect and would not be jumping in the cut. ‍

Just hope that we show up for all three games.. any points would be a bonus looking at the fixtures.

I think we might get a point against Spuds, but can't see anything at Leicester or against MUtd.

Win 1 just based on the law of averages and the start of the season always throwing up a few surprises.
Whatever the results though I just want to see us doing the graft and creating chances.

I am with this, I can take a 0 point return from these opening 3 fixtures if we show desire, energy and attacking intent.

Rather that than a couple of draws playing just like we were a few months ago.

Having said that, I think we will find a win in these three somewhere, so 3 points it is.

Anything is welcome and a bonus. Free hit. Performance and Lages adaptability more important.

3 or 4 points and I’d be very happy with August’s returns. 0-2 points but enjoyable, attacking football (with some signings during this) and I’d be content because I’d be confident in picking up lots of points in the easier run of games over September and October.

Well said. There are 9 points available, so hopefully Bruno will set out to win them all. If we are scared of playing top six sides then it is a waste of time in being in this league.
Idealistic. If we are in the bottom 4 or 5 at Christmas everyone will be demanding that we tighten things up and grind out points. The one thing worse than struggling in the PL is being in the Chump for year after year after year....

exactly. Why bother watching if you're expecting 0/1 point, makes no sense to me
Just slightly realistic. All of the 3 are better teams than us unfortunately and will finish above us this year. Dont think anyones arguing that. Also say we get 4 points im a lot happier than someone who predicted we should get 9.

Let's be honest, if it wasn't for wanting something against Nuno precious few fans would realistically expect much from that game.

Expecting nil points. Probably the hardest start anyone's got this year?
A pessimist is never disappointed.

Unless we get cracking in the market I genuinely think 0. Hope I am proved wrong in about 2hrs.

Looking like zero to me. Manure looked scary going forward especially with their drive from midfield. Spurs will be too good for us although I’m expecting us to put up a fight

Bumped this as we're all ecstatic after last night and not trying to put a dampner on things, rather the opposite, but if we look beyond Utd we have a run of 11 games (Sep through Nov) and none v the top 6. I know this is no guarantee of anything and there are some tricky fixtures in there but I'd hope we could average 2 pts a game from that lot. So my hope is that come the Liverpool game on 4 December we will have played 14 games and have at least 22 points (possibly 25?). This really is an exciting time to be a Wolves fan.

0 points from the first 3, then 33 from the next 11.

You have to think going into games now that we have a genuine chance to score a few. After just 2 games you can see the league will split with a big 4, a chasing pack of 5 or 6 and about 9 or 10 making up the numbers. The question for me is can Wolves make that chasing pack and the evidence of the first 3 games is that they can. New faces will help but a good points return over the next 3 months will place us, hopefully, in that group behind the big boys.
