Anyone know why the stadium is not being fully opened and you have to claim tickets in advance for the under 23's play - off game against West Ham? Clueless. don't they want people to go? Might just be the best match we've had this season.

Lambert says 23 is his ideal squad. I reckon he'll settle for 25. Wolves have used 34 players so far and a few first team players are loaned out.
Of the loan-outs can we expect any in next season's squad? Oniangue? Tex? Ebanks-Landell? Who will certainly go? Wallace and Henry for sure. Probably Flatt.
Of the current squad a few are out of contract and none appear essential to the team (Price, Saville, Silvio, Williamson) . Others will be paid off or offered free (Gladon, Lonergan, and maybe Evans all at risk) .
Players likely to attract reasonable transfer fees - Costa naturally. Also Cavaleiro, Bodvarsson, Mason, Iorfa, Coady and even Batth.
The core that's left will be: Ikeme, Burgoyne, Ruddy, (Lonergan, Flatt) ;
Doherty, Hause, (Batth, Silvio, Iorfa, Williamson, Ebanks-Landell) ; Edwards, Saiss, Graham, Marshall, Enobhakare, Gibbs-White, Ronan, (Price, Saville, Evans, Cavaleiro, Oniangue, Henry, Wallace) ;
Dicko, Zyro, Wilson, (Bodvarsson, Mason)
That's 15-22 players.
My guess is that we'll sign 4-5 players so about 4-5 of the bracketed players will stay. Probably (my guess) Bod, Mason, Batth, Coady and another defender. Yes, I think Cav will go. I get that O'Hara feeling about him. He plays according to his mood, which hasn't been very determined lately. I want him to stay, but does he? I assume Costa will go too. I'd like Price to stay, but he can get first team football elsewhere. Saiss gives us more, Edwards will always feature, and we'll surely sign another CM. Saville and Evans also should go. The enigma is Enobhakare, who went from upcoming star to invisible overnight. Possibly he will leave too.
Of the 4-5 new signings, we know Lambert likes Weimann but does he like Stearman enough? Another CB I suspect. And another CF especially if Bod leaves.

Headlines: Lambert let's one go. No he's not farted, just told Paul 'gladly' Gladon he can leave.

You'd think they'd try and pack the Moll for the final game of season with nothing to play for and offer fans cheap tickets. unless you are a season ticket holder who's going to pay £30?

It ought to be free admission for everybody and season ticket holders refunded for last game or took off there season ticket price for next year as a thank you for turning up, because how they have played at home is unexceptable as there as been no entertainment whatsoever, Lambert needs to start winning at Home, no more excuses will be excepted, if he cannot get we winning games at home playing attacking football he as to go.
Got this funny feeling he will give players like Saville etc new contracts if so don't expect nothing next year only a relegation fight.

We need to start shopping in Harrods not Pound Land and Scunthorpe! what's needed right now is quality, that's tried and tested and able to play in the Premier League, not players who may or may not make it just now. 👍⚽️.

If he does keep Saville, Price, Williamson, Evans, Coady, it will limit his options for more players, given he wants to reduce the squad and there are a few young players coming through (MGW, Ronan, Wilson, Burgoyne) . By my reckoning (see a post I just made) he needs to sell or otherwise make invisible around 16 of the 34 players that have played for Wolves this season. Many of Zenga-era signings are likely to leave. Perhaps only Saiss staying in fact, maybe Silvio, Bod, Ruddy, Cav if he feels like it. Oniangue at a push. Costa, John, Gladon, Tex, Lonergan, Stearman, CBJ all away for different reasons. So maybe 9-12 there, plus Henry, Wallace and Flatt (if Ruddy stays) . So some of those out-of-contract players will need to go. And others might have to leave on frees.
