Hopes For Next Season

[Scallywolf]

Let’s win our first 14 games and get 42 points!

After that, go for the title

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Win the Cup. I'll be pushing 73 next May and I'd love to see us win something before I go off to meet the Doog in the sky or if I go the other way, Billy Bremner!

 

[WalsallWolf]

I really hope we start passing the ball forward.

 

[Contrarian]

Total rebuild of the forward line. Without that, it will be a 4th consecutive season of being rock bottom scorers, depending on grinding out draws and 1 goal wins via last ditch defending and 11 men in our penalty area.

We aren't anywhere near good enough to win anything. Need to start laying the foundations for longer term success, similar to what Nuno did before it was ripped apart.

 

[Pagey]

Win the ****ing double!

 

[Contrarian]

Be the surprise team and finish top 8, possibly Europe places.

Revolution under JL for a more progressive and possession based game.

More goals.

Cup win.

Aim for the stars and might reach the moon. Aim for the moon and will probably reach the gutter.

Isn't over-ambition one of the most common reasons several clubs have gone from steady Premier League , to crashing to League 1?

 

[Slothmonkey]

I would like to see a few things.

-A midfield that is settled and if we play 3 this being Gomes, Nunes and B.Traore.

-A goalkeeper that I feel confident in

-Passing the ball quicker and forward.

-us to be play 10 yards further up the pitch with a higher tempo.

-Forwards and attacking player who actually look like they have played together before and look threatening.

-A style of football that is identified each week

I hope these will happen after a preseason with JLO. He has 3 months to implement his style of play properly. Hoping for more from him and the players.

 

[Wolowolf6]

To see us actually score a goal during my annual trip to Molineux.

The last two have been 0-0 vs Burnley and
0-1 vs Bournemouth

 

[peter&thewolf]

Get rid of the dead wood and replace them with better and keep Neves and Traore

 

[Frank Lincoln]

With JL at the helm, then the top half is possible. Though I doubt he will have the team playing expansive, attacking football.

 

[DeWolfMan60]

Goals, attacking football and above all for the love of God ENTERTAINMENT!

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

With only 31 goals scored this season: sort out the attacking line!

Anything after that is a big bonus.

 

[Lupus ad Penn]

We need to improve the goal scoring,but there is no way we are going to become a free scoring attacking side under Lopetegui. He will make us more solid at the back, and if it works out well,the scoring and number of chances will improve, but no chance of us scoring loads of goals. I hope I‘m wrong.

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

The search for the holy grail will continue... a striker, preferably two, who can score goals and ease the pressure on the team. Every team is after that vital cog in the machinery and it is what separates the top half from the bottom half. It will be difficult to do but 31 goals in 37 games shows the extent of our problem. Can we do it? Only if we are brave and only if we have a fully functioning midfield and defence and there are serious questions in that regard.

Hope: Top 10
Expectation: Top 12
Reality: 12th to 15th

 

[Dorbelflunk]

Mid table with a striker in double figures and a bit more of a settled camp.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Top half finish. Anything else is a disappointment.

My favourite new user name of the week. Welcome.

 

[The House of Wolves]

What are people’s hopes / expectations for where we should aim to finish next season?

To play entertaining football, and score more goals - especially at home. The crowd needs be entertained after back to back poor seasons.

To finish comfortably midtable/top half, without any fear of being in a relegation battle.

Some new exciting young blood to come into the team and give us something to get excited about.

The old guard may be leaving but it doesn’t mean the future isn’t bright. We just have to get it right this summer.

Trust in Lopa.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

My favourite new user name of the week. Welcome.

My life in a nutshell

 

[ewarwoowar]

as with Nuno give our team an identity and that is whatever Julen wants it to be.he will start the new season with hopefully his players and as importantly a level playing field,i.e not at the bottom of the league.sort out the goal scoring dilemma,i would bring Fabio back and make him feel special and make him our number one striker,then we can play with a little more intent especially away from home.also as has already been mentioned a squad who want to be here and make us and the team more successful for the right reasons and not to play for a move for themselves

 

[oldgolded]

The amount of money in the game has taken a lot of the fun and romance out of the game for me. My main hope for Wolves next season is that we avoid relegation. A suçcessful season would be similar to what we achieved under Nuno, culminating in a place in Europe. A cup success would be monumental.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

I’d like goals next season.

I genuinely think we’ll push for Europe as long as Julen Lopetegui is at the helm. And for the to happen he will need to be backed again to build the squad he wants.

 

[Woburn Wolf]

With Fosun’s backing “do a Newcastle”. In this scenario there is no reason why not with JL at the helm.

 

[Willywolf]

More goals for, and putting teams to the sword rather than sit back and protect a slender lead.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

A home shirt without a v-neck and avoid relegation comfortably

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Looking through this the common theme is sort out the attack, give us goals and entertainment. I think that's right, our defence and mf (even without Neves) isn't too bad but bar Neto and Cunha I don't care if JL cleared out our entire forward line. So many other variables with Silva and Sasa but the bottom line is we need that goal scoring CF from somewhere. The lift, having a decent goal scorer in the side, will give the team is immeasurable.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

EDIT - wrong thread

 

[JohnB]

Curiously our performance stats are

Top 6 - W1, D1, L9
7-12 - W 5, D4, L3
14-20 - W5, D3, L6

So very good against Villa to Palace, shocking against top 6 and bottom 7.

To progress to gain 61 points for Europe need to change this to something like:

Top 6 - W 3, D3, L6
7-12 - W5, D4, L3
14-20 - W 9, D3, L2

or eek out a couple more wins and draws from top 6 and really improve against bottom 7.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Goals and entertainment. The end.

 

[Saltyjim]

Don't want any fears of relegation. 2 out of the past 3 years have been worrying and I don't need the stress. I'd also love a nice easy victory over someone. Hasn't happened since Watford last year.

 

[johnnybetchas]

No hooped socks please!

 

[waveney wolf]

With all the players moving on , the dead wood we have , and no money to buy, no striker , and a negative manager ,,,,sadly another relegation struggle

 

[moseleyite]

Stay up and be a bit more entertaining than this year

 

[Supadavewolf]

Here's my five -

See the 'kids' such as Collins, Pitbull and Bueno continue to develop and become more established in the side.

Play the ball out from the back without upping my blood pressure every time we do

Bring back 'The Liquidator'.

Attack more effectively through the middle of the pitch.

Hope that players such as Semedo, Hwang and (if he's here) Silva have great seasons to silence some of the moaning on here

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I have none so far. We have players out on loan that might come and help us but take the likes of Neves, Traore and Podence out of this side and we have nothing.
We wouldn't have stayed up without them, and they are likely to leave now. I'm not convinced we are going to get anybody better than the wide forwards/wingers we have got; i don't think we have any money, and after 3 years of utter drivel played, with numerous signings that have flopped here, I don't think there will be many players that want to come. The only hope will be people wanting to play for Julen that have played for him before.
We managed to achieve 1 goal a game under Lopetegui so far. My feeling is that this will be as good as it gets under him. The money was spent/wasted in January. The damage has been done. Its another relegation battle coming our way.

 

[beppe7619]

More shots on target and a attacking style of play

 

[Rhoswolf]

Guess the club's ambition will be to avoid relegation once again, probably the best, in reality, we can hope for. with a cup run as a bonus.

That aye a dream it’s a nightmare come on let’s pretend we will do well

 

[Rhoswolf]

That aye a dream it’s a nightmare come on let’s pretend we will do well

My dream is to actually still be here to see what transpires.

Good luck and good health the most important thing

 

[Black Country Wanderer]
