I don't really care how we do it, I want to look at the league table on Saturday afternoon and see 7 points from 3 games. It could be deflection of Emile's left cheek, a Bent tap in or a N'Zogbia screamer for all I care that gets us there. Wolves don't mean as much to me as Blues or Albion but it's a Midlands game so we should be aiming to win all of those to keep them in their place.

Remember when we were strongly tipped to sign Stearman?!

I often think now whenever I see him play how well we did to avoid that particular faux pas...

Agreed, he is rubbish.

Part of me would bring Bannan in and keep Heskey on the bench. Wolves will play 4-4-2 so I don't believe it would be negative, would outnumber them in central midfield and we'd have Gabby, zog and Bent as the attacking three.

I expect us to get some joy out wide as Stearman isn't great and Ward was given the runaround by Albrighton at Molineux last season.

1-1. Have a bad feeling Johnson will score for them.

Who was the other full back we were linked with at the same time as Stearman?

He played for the same club at the time. Think he went to Albion or somewhere like that.

2-1
Bent x2, Doyle

I think it'll be a tough game, would like to see Bannan given a run out instead of Heskey  but i think it'll be quite a defensive Line up tomorrow. hopefully i'm wrong !!

Joe Mattock.

He's still at Albion I think but done very little with his career.

Ward was getting ripped to bits unitl McCarthy put on Elokobi, then he hardly got a kick

Tomorrow is the match I absolutely dread. Living in Wolverhampton you reslise what an inbred bunch of gravy dribbling nutters this lot really are, and they hate us.

Haha.

I hope for your sake we fucking thump them.

Just read a comment from a Dixie Dingle regarding some mongrel Villa-Wolves combined team and the slack jaw has made the comment that he'd pick Fletcher over Bent as he's the better player.

Odd.

Are we playing a good team tomorrow then?  I thought it was the Wolves -and it's been a long, long time since they were any good.

Show some cojones people.

4-0 Villa.  Beye hatrick and a deft overhead kick Richard Dunne.

That's why they're going down...

I agree.

To read this thread, you'd think we were playing Barcelona tomorrow, not Wolves.

I would expect us to have just that extra, I just think it will either go 3-1 us as a drubbing or they will nik it 1-0.
