useless Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) If Fulham win their game in hand, they'll only be six points off Wolves. I don't think they will be in any danger of going down, but it can't be totally written off, unless their form improves. I look at the fixtures and their next three games are Arsenal, Leicester and Southampton, so things could be looking worse for them after those.

useless Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Normally you wouldn't write them off in any of those game, but on current form it looks a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Wonder if he'll walk or get sacked before the season is out. There's clearly something more underlying going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they go back to bothering Albion fans again now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 They'll be OK as long as they stay in the prem to keep giving mendes money for his prospects. As soon as it looks like they might go down they'll probably get more international for 1/3 of their true value or on loan or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 30, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't think they will go down but they are going to struggle the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 They're lucky that the bottom 3 are particularly poor this season, otherwise they'd be in serious trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 What exactly is going wrong there? They have always been a boring watch imo but still this time last year they where knocking on the door for a champions league spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I think It's a combination of various things, the players they've lost either to injuries or being sold to other clubs, them trying to change their system and style of play part way through the season, and they had a poor summer transfer window, they especially needed to strengthen their central midfield, Wolves fans have been crying out for it, oter fans perhaps see names like Neves and Moutinho and think that they can't possibly be weak in that area, but both of those have been poor for a while now, neither would get in our midfield at the moment, Luiz has been playing better than Neves since the end of last season, Mouthinho wouldn't get in ahead of McGinn or Barkley, they've got nothing in terms of an attacking/creative threat from central midfield at all.

They have always been a boring watch imo but still this time last year they where knocking on the door for a champions league spot It is a combination of things. A small squad that had historically been very lucky with injuries unable to cope with. Key one. A change from a back 5 to a back 4 exposing Cody a little. Confidence ebbing away as a result of the above two. Their CM’s are ageing and it is a weakness for them. Traore has gone back to being shit and they miss Doherty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that but I watched them a bit recently, garbage at the moment. Made Albion look good. Awful currently but hopefully that does not change. If either Wolves or Newcastle can be dragged down with albion, a thing of utter beauty that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno will be off in the summer imo, he's mentioning his family loads in his interview (didn't realise they weren't with him in the West Midlands) and I think that wonderful donation of 250k to fight poverty in Wolverhampton will be a parting gift from him aswell as of course giving Wolves fans so many good memories from the last three years, getting them up and etablishing them in prem so he'll go with 99.9% of Wolves fans best wishes and probably rock up in La Liga again. Think he also realises he's taking this squad as fas he can with the business model and then looking very dodgy when they played some games with a back 4 so feels like the right time. Wolves issue is replacing him. They've had a taste of what they look like selling on key players so they're running into the same problems we did from August 2010 when MON and Milner left us in the same month and it was a very rapid descent down the league table. Wolves look very likely to finish bottom half now so it's going to be a tricky job for whoever they get in next given the increased expecations there now they must be in contention to qualify for europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
