duke313 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 From a Wolves forum "If we win tonight, which IMO is highly likely, I think we will pull clear of bottom 3 and come March the threat of relegation will be a distant memory" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted January 4, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2023 The other night on the radio after their last minute win over Everton that saw them climb up off the very bottom of the table, one of their fans said that this was the best Wolves team he'd ever seen. Genuinely, live on air, the best Wolves team he'd ever seen. Now I don't know whether we should be a little bit worried about that, whether Wolves are actually a really good side that have had a lot of poor luck and deserve to be much higher up the table and that, because they're not very interesting, only Wolves fans are really appreciative of that fact. I mean it's also quite possible that the Wolves fan that called in can't tie his own shoes and struggles with recognising shapes and colours - football fans in general that ring in to radio shows tend to be fairly erm...straightforward, and Wolverhampton isn't short of 'characters' - that could also be true. I find it difficult to believe that they're actually a tragically unlucky top six side, and I suspect they can play some nice stuff but they don't have the end product that brings points, but I guess it's worth being aware of. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to win this please 23 hours ago, av1 said: Mate I had the misfortune of working in Wolverhampton for a couple of years when Wolves were doing better than us. They are probably the most deluded fans I’ve ever met. They genuinely thought they were a bigger club and that their league position was just “reclaiming their midlands throne” It wasn’t just banter, they genuinely believed it. Previously I’d always viewed them in the same way I viewed Leicester, local (ish) rivals but not with the same intensity I think of SHA for instance. But working there really ramped up my dislike of them. As did the billy big bollocks, aggressive nature of their fans at VP a couple of years ago. I hope we smash them to pieces Wolves are a big club with a very rich history. You play that video of the most points in English football through time and they were right up there till modern times. However there is almost no metric that you could measure to claim they're a bigger club than us. Literally none. Anyone who claims they are a bigger club than us is just plain open faced lying and know it because it's completely irrefutable, there is no possible argument to put forwards for it. Anyway I work with 2 dog heads. One is a good mate and a decent lad, generally been Villa positive, always says Villa Park is his favourite away ground. Got a bit dodgy on us though when we accused them of cheating on the finance front. The other though is a proper loudmouth, always gives it loads and was big with the mind the gap. I'd love to quietly walk past him with a enigmatic smile on my face. Say a flourishing good morning to him on Monday.

TheAuthority Posted January 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2023 Usual Villa would be to follow up such a great away win with a lack-lustre performance either losing or a drab 0-0. But with Unai in charge perhaps we can start to find some consistency in performance quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, we want to win, but if we lose and play well then, I think most fans would accept that, problem with SG was we lost and played badly most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine thy want to bring him back to earth and get him refocused as quickly as possible. I am sure at some stage over the next few weeks there will be an interview etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FLVillan Posted January 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2023 First trip to Villa Park for three years tonight! I'm visiting family for a couple of days and finally secured a ticket. Don't want to tempt fate here but my last match at Villa Park was THAT game against Derby. The 4-0 win, Grealish returning from injury and that start of the ten game winning run that led to our play-off place and eventual promotion! Come on you Villa boys! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Interested to see how we play this as it’s much different opposition to our previous games under Emery. Classic Villa would be we got excited for no reason and it all goes wrong against Wolves. However I’m going to believe things are different now and have full faith in Emery and the team to deliver tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Cash or Young could be moved up to play the wide midfielder role that McGinn had if he's not fit for that game. Would guess Sanson or Dendocker (if fit) to replace Luiz if he's not able. Squad already thin a few days into the new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Just looking at some stats and we are 14th for shots with 189 and 39 of them are from Ollie who is 20th in the players list. The team one is lower than Wolves! We need to shoot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
