Spot on floyd.

5 stars for you mate.

Kenny is on his "honeymoon period", Floyd and he seems to be doing and saying a lot of the right things. However, football is about results. Wolves is no different. If the results come and we are challenging for promotion, then Kenny will be lauded and rightly so. If, however he gets it wrong and the football is a dour as it was under our previous two managers, then he will be criticised and may ultimately pay with his job.

Too early to say that we have "turned over a new leaf". Ask again in three months!

Maybe, but also its too early to judge him until a few months in, too early to panic after morecambe and we might need to accept that surgery this severe, will take a while. I wouldn't be surprised if we are mid table by Xmas, will we all be panicking then ?

This new leaf (if its true) will take some time to bed in

My hormones are finally at rest after last night and I have to agree with your appraisal, Floyd.

Last night was tough and maybe a reality check. Key for us all is to try and stay calm when we get tripped up and suffer, until we sell the high earners, until the academy kids get experience, until kenny brings in a few players and then until we get a settled side, it might be rocky (again I know!). So we need to keep calm and trust that this new leaf will flourish.
Very very hard given the last few seasons I know, but we all have to stay positive and understand where we are financially and in terms of a rebuild

I don't need to read this.

one Floyd

If puppet agrees with it, it must be nonsense.

Spot on Floyd, read this article from you the other day and commented.
The surgery is extreme for sure, and so far we have one good result and one poor one with a much changed first 11.

Not sure that I like your constant references to "new leafs" Floyd. Going into the Autumn season and leaves tend to fall from trees and die.

Hope it's not an omen.

I'm a little more cynical. Yes KJ seems pretty good but its not him I worry about...it's Morgan & Moxey.

I suspect they are funding the bare minimum to be 'sustainable' & profitable at a League One level rather than being ambitious & maybe taking a nominal loss to guarantee promotion.

If Sako & Doyle leave & aren't replaced with quality players then we will know their intentions.

I agree with a lot of the points you make Floyd but I think its as much the situation we find ourselves in rather than a new leaf. To put it simply, if we didn't play our academy kids who would we play, given who has gone and who will go, and who is injured.

Playing games and losing games does nobody any favours, not the club and not the kids. Jackett will already have identified that the likes of Batth, Doherty and Davis are ready to be first team regulars. That Ismail and McAlinden are precocious talents that need some chances. And that the likes of Reckord, Cassidy and Forde need to do more to earn more chances. But mainly he will have learned its going to be about blending them with the more experienced players rather than throwing them all in together

The other option would be to go for bust, try and keep as many as possible and hope we definitely go up. That's even more suicidal to me and we need to start using the academy.
Category 1 is great, but why have it, why spend £30m on it, if you don't use it (Chelsea, man city etc etc). At least a but sustainable, but yes somewhat forced on us, but a model I think we'll use going forward

I am not sure our knuckle-dragging friends that post in the E & S would agree. Some of them were even calling for Dean Smith to replace Kenny Jackett. I think that the fact that the result came on the back of the previous two seasons doesn't help.

There is much sense in the saying, "Rome wasn't built in a day." We will win games, and we will lose some. It's important to keep a balance, not being over-exuberant with individual wins, nor falling into depression over individual losses. (Unlike Morgan sacking Mick over the Baggies debacle.)

As long as the trend is upward, we should give Kenny and the kids our total support.

Good article Floyd.

Last night I was disappointed, but tonight I'm beginning to think it may be a blessing in disguise. It will be a wake-up call to all those illusional supporters who might have thought we would go through the season undefeated. It will also show Kenny, if he did not already know, that we need the squad strengthened before the window shuts.

Strangely I am more optimistic about the season now, but then again M & M are lurking in the background ready to burst a lot of bubbles.

On the positive

Zeli showed some good signs - impact sub ?
Doherty, batth, Ebanks landell looked good
Forde - he's a central midfielder and I think could be a good one

They just need adding to some experience and someone to create for griffiths

Floyd, Like O' Hara?

I think Zele is a contender for a start on Saturday. To replace Edwards, Jackett may play Sigurdarson more centrally and play Ismail wide. Alternatively he could play Doyle

Zele did well, I thought. He seemed to be brought off with cramp though, so will he be up to another hard game so soon? It might be better to play a 4-2-3-1, with Doyle in the hole behind Griffiths. Siggy, Evans and Sako (if fit) as the three behind. Foley and Davis could be the holding players, in front of Doherty, Batth, Ricketts and one other. Depends on whether George or Stearman are fit.

Given that our midfield is light, the more attacking options on the pitch, the better.

Do you think they will let us play with 12 Brereton?

Some interesting points Floyd but..“if we ever get back, I want to compete.”.....is, in my opinion, a bit of a pipe dream I’m afraid (depending of course on your definition of competing).

I honestly think that in ten years time a season where we are in the top flight at the end of the season will be a successful one.

Floyd only the madness of the last 2 seasons what about the previous 30?

Oops!! Didn't you know, Tatter, that there are three types of accountant? Those that can count, and those that can't.

Just drop Doyle then.

Uh oh, you will be on tats blacklist now brereton, confusing us both

My definition of competing is mid table, not Europe, but not clinging on and hoping for a heroic draw. As for the last two years of madness,they surpass all the others over the last 39, apart from the bhatti era of course.

Yes Floyd and there is no reason why this club cant get to that position of Premier League mid table. We are as big and potentially a bigger club than the likes of Fulham, Stoke, Albion, Swansea, Norwich, Southampton. But those clubs have all been better managed than ours in recent years.

Jackett will surely be better than Connor, Solbakken and Saunders and for now that will be a blessing. Then in time we will find out if he can take the club as far or further than McCarthy did
