Leicester City lose again ! 5 games without a win in the Premier league. However I saw a lot to be encouraged about and all the stats point to the Foxes having the better of the game but not the goals scored . . . sadly. Still as many as 5 certain 1st choice players out injured.

Yes, I thought so too, positive signs. On a different day etc, we might have won that but that's the way it goes. We're still clearly lacking confidence in defence but performances like that will go some way to steadying our nerves. Many are still calling for Rodgers' head but I think he's bought himself some time after today.

Apparently he is the bookies favourite to be the next Premier league manager to get the sack ! Hmm, in the last 12 months he has led
'the Foxes' to the FA Cup and the Charity shield. Now he is managing with the most destructive run of serious injuries I think the club has ever had ?

Hard fought game today, a draw would have been more fair to be honest but we got the result.

Another day etc, onward and upward.

Wolves looking good for a possible CL place.
Afraid the hammers have blown it.We’re looking flat.
Moyes should have strengthened in the transfer window.

Be more than happy with top 6 as I'm realistic, 7th could see us off on a jolly which would be nice.

If next two games go well (Arsenal. WH) I can see a top six, and I hope so.
Some twists and turns left this season .. and 3 points in title race if L'pool win on wednesday, didn't see that coming

It is good to see another 'midlands' team (albeit, west midlands) doing well.
I see Wolves as the antithesis of Man Utd ? one a collection of 'superstars' who occassionally manage to play like a 'team'
The other a collection of good 'Pro's' who are collectively more than the sum of the individuals.
You will need to decide which is which.

@potsy, any idea why Liam Hogan got sent off on Saturday?

Doesn't winning the Europa League get you a place in the CL? Could happen.

As for the transfer window, I sympathise with Moyes attitude that it is no good buying just for the sake of it and what he wanted either wasn't available or a deal couldn't be done. West Ham have a history of padding out the squad with players who just didn't gel and played no more than a game or two.

not sure I agree? Are you saying Moutinho and Neto are a different class to Lingard and Sancho?

Violent conduct apparently, though having seen the highlights earlier I think it was extremely harsh!

Well, I generalise, Do you not agree ? or do we have to compare individual players values ? You start then 😳 Or how about comparing the transfer values of the respective squads on the open market ?

They don’t call Moyes “Dithering Dave” for nothing.
Him and head of recruitment Rob Newman had all January to at the least get in a striker as Antonio looks knackered and is out of form.
I know strikers are hard to come by but it’s been three transfer windows since Haller left and he hasn’t been replaced.

I assume he means there are no massive ego's in the team, most were unknown before coming to Wolves ( I know Mout and Patricio were massive for Portugal ) but for the most part pretty low key. No one had ever heard of the Managers we seem to get but the last 2 have done us proud.
The risk with this is if they make an impression they get poached (Jota for example) but at least a profit can be made.
We're just enjoying the ride at the moment and hopefully it will continue for a while.
