Not buying into the idea that Wolves have somehow turned into footballing gods, they were well organised, looked fit and had a couple of decent players.
with Jota the best on view, given the freedom of the park.


Footballing gods? No-one has said that have they? They were just better than us on the day, way better.
Yes I have seen making out they were very special, I don’t think they are, it’s just that we were crap, which we are under a Bruce against a decent team.

For this standard, Costa, Neves and Jota are footballing gods.

On that subject, can anyone think of the games that Bruce has made a successful tactical change that has worked and got us a positive result?

When Gabby came on against blues. That's about it.
Of course! It feels so long ago but yeah great shout

I thought Wolves were comfortably the best side I've seen us play in the championship, notwithstanding our ooor performance

The quality of movement and passing was way better than I saw from Brighton or Newcastle against us last season for example

The equivalent of pissing against the corner flags.
