Definitely be happy with a draw from this one. Same as Preston though I believe we're quite capable of a win.

I've probably said this for every game so far (other than Rotherham) but I'd be happy with a point from this, seeing as I can never remember us getting anything from Molineux. The way we've been playing though makes me think we're capable of getting all 3, which really would make me start to dream.
Or we could be thoroughly brought back down to earth and get twatted 3-0.

I don't know, we've started so well and it feels like we could beat anyone anywhere at the moment. Our attacking options are the best they've ever been since I started going regularly. Wolves are about as solid a side as you could come across in this division though so they'll have to be on top form. I'll reiterate that I'd be happy with a point to continue our excellent start to the season.

I would have taken a point away at Preston which means I'd snap someones hand off for a point in this one. Big test for us but in all honesty it is still one in which we are capable in taking all 3 points.

Our record away at Wolves is woeful which is precisely one of the reasons why I think we could get something from this, also we have drawn very few games in the last year which surely means we are due one.

1-1 or 2-2 I reckon. Like I continuously say, I can't really see any team stopping us from scoring.
If we can get the first goal then Armstrong could be a handful for Wolves in the 2nd half.

Surely 'Super Sammy Winnall' is destined to score in this one...

Not sure what to expect, quite literally. Walter Zenga has said our squad is huge for a reason, because he's going to rotate it every week.

I would hope for a win, especially after conceding a 94th min equaliser to Burton, but a draw is more realistic. Barnsley have shown they are no pushovers and have had a great start. Hope we will line up like this, but in reality will be completely different due to rotation:

Ikeme

Doherty - Batth - Stearman - CBJ

Oniangue - Saiss

Mason - Cavaliero - Wallace

Bodvarsson
​

Will sit on the fence and say it'll be 1-1

Sadly never got a chance for us. Another one of your players, Sam Morsy was another academy prospect we released without giving him a chance. Have a feeling we might regret it tonight.

Hope so!!

We are absolute shite again.

Take nothing away from Barnsley, outclassed us everywhere over the pitch. Got a lot of respect for the way they have done their business, we could learn a lot from their approach on and off the pitch.

As for Walter Zenga? Stick to your best team for fuck sake. This rotation policy you have really isn't having the desired effect. If players are too fatigued to play in mid bloody September, then they really should not be footballers.

 

[tarnluke]

Wow. I'm actually speechless. Just incredible.

What. A. Team.

 

[Craig]

Same. I did not expect that at all. They're just ruthless to the final whistle. Never take foot off the gas. It's amazing and I'm loving it right now.

Mark - Zola/Jokanavic used to do that and it cost us a bit..

The latter soon learnt his lesson!

Christ Walter if things don't improve you'll be gone by Christmas. Borthwick Jackson was excellent on Saturday yet wasn't even in the squad. We can't keep changing 5 players every match just to keep them happy. Credit to Barnsley, they were excellent.

At least you rotated to half decent players between Deeney, Ighalo Forestieri, Vydra. Not sure about half these random people we have signed, they don't look like they've played football before...

 

[Jamo]

Well bugger me with a large rolling pin.

4-0 at Molineux. Not to Wolves, but to us. I love this team and I love Hecky.
