We will score more than 36. We will finish about the same position and points wise.
People are seriously judging our inability to score against Man U , Leicester and spurs .
Tight games with only a handful of clear cut chances . Wait until we get better chances vs the weaker opposition
The only reason we will finish below 13th is due to Jeff Shi transfer strategy, and injuries
Can we score one first !We will score more than 36. We will finish about the same position and points wise.
Previous experience, for me, is largely irrelevant. The question is 'can he step up to meet the physical and mental demands of the Prem' ?His experience prior to this is about the equivalent of the Southern League Premier Division.
If we keep the first 13/14 players fit I see no reason why we couldn’t challenge 6th place based on the football we have seen
This suggests we should be able to, just need to start converting out chances.
I agree I think once Raul is back to himself we will pick up. Watford is a good acid testOnce we start scoring it wouldn't surprise me if we absolutely batter a few teams this season. Just fingers crossed we don't have any injuries.

Definitely. We have an excellent run coming up to see what we are capable of. Fingers crossed it goes to plan. It will be good to see what Hwang is like also!I agree I think once Raul is back to himself we will pick up. Watford is a good acid test

Agreed.I think Hwang is good prospect I’m hoping he starts
I think most of them will come good. If we’re playing more attacking football then law of averages says they’ll score more goals.Exactly. It's a shame that we didn't do anything to address this in the transfer window. We are needing/expecting/hoping that most of our current team will up their scoring rates to career bests.
I think there’s only Norwich who’ve had a tougher start than us based on last years finishing positions.

What evidence is there that we will continue to 'dominate' matches? because theire is a hell of a lot of evidence that over 38 matches performances regress to a mean and this applies for all teams relative to their expected outcomes.
i think fans are getting a little carried away with the 3 'performances' so far. There is no relationship between competing with Man United at home and then going on to win [easily or not] 50% of the teams that will turn up to Molineux and sit in deep.
All of a sudden the Traore threat, which has been the highlight of our play so far this season, is nullified and it is very likley that the xG will decrease.
In a nutshell, the 3 matches we have played so far are not represenatitve of over 50% of matches we will play this season and then there is of course the injuries and the rain replacing the sunshine.
I don't think anyone is expecting to continue with such big numbers for the rest of the season. It think we've created the most open play chances in the division. Stats like that would mean we would finish top 4.
However it is a positive sign that we are going to do fine.
Brighton put in a lot of positive performances last season but they weren't anywhere near 7th plus some are predicting! I think about 12th to 16th is about right but so probably about 14th?
By that logic though, the chances against us would drop too against teams less likely to attack?What evidence is there that we will continue to 'dominate' matches? because theire is a hell of a lot of evidence that over 38 matches performances regress to a mean and this applies for all teams relative to their expected outcomes.

A quote from who?interesting and very important quote from the E&S IMO, Sums up the Mighty Wolves in reality. long may we continue to be a proper local club with pride not greed,
Quote "“Wolves is, and continues to be, a very humble club,” he said. “It’s a family-orientated club, which may appear to be punching above its weight, but we’ve got to develop that ‘big club’, elite-sport mentality within that framework to become more consistent. We can’t go all out, thinking it’s all about success and in so doing, lose what Wolves is all about, but we do need to refocus.
We want to make it an environment that has comfort and familiarity, but one which is also a real elite performance environment – when you come in here, it’s special, it’s about performance. We push each other to be the best we can – players and staff."
its in the in the E&S bud. in this aticle By Liam KeenWolvesPublished: Sept 6, 2021Last Updated: Sept 6, 2021A quote from who?
I would have thought so but perhaps the quality of the chances will remain constant. CA football is underrated imo. 57 shots isn't really a stat to hold in high regard. However, i think it's fair to say that if you replayed the 3 matches so far x10,000 each we would likley gain 2 draws and a win so i can understand some fans optimism.By that logic though, the chances against us would drop too against teams less likely to attack?
50% of teams wouldn’t have a player of De Gea’s quality either.
We will score 40 by December .
Then 2 midfieldes will get injured and we won’t win until April, with Jeff signing a winger in January and no centre mids
So seeing as this thread has been resurrected and I've seen this, I'd love (actually, probably hate!) to see how we'd look on this graph now

I think Hwang is good prospect I’m hoping
This aged wellAgreed.
He's going to be a star.
Give him a pre season at least he started off wellThis aged well
I’d say we’ve probably regressed massively.So seeing as this thread has been resurrected and I've seen this, I'd love (actually, probably hate!) to see how we'd look on this graph now
So a 26 year old footballer needs a pre-season to enable him to control a ball? It’s not just his first touch either. Last night I was in shock when twice he controlled the ball with his first touch only for normal service to be resumed when the second touch sent the ball ten yards away. Even if Carlsberg did pre-seasons there’d be no hope!Give him a pre season at least he started off well

I asked my mate who watched Shaun Goater a lot at City and when I asked him what his first touch was like he replied”Put it this way, his second touch is often a header”!2 comments I find funny
He can trap a ball further than I can kick it
His 2nd touch is a tackle
Could be an urban myth and never found a source but I once heard Mark McGhee comment that Mick Mccarthy could head the ball further than most people can kick it, and Mccarthy said McGhee could trap it further than most people could kick it2 comments I find funny
