I haven't posted for a while, simply because last season knocked the stuffing out of me.
However, the signings of Trippier and Raul have perked me up. More to follow hopefully. It would be a nice gesture if The South Bank chanted Nathan Shi's name during the season's opening match at Molineux.

Bit early for me. Let's see how first 10 games go.

Nice to see you back, Lost. As for the chanting, I think we may need to exercise some caution for the time being. It's been a good start to the window, but it means absolutely nothing if we don't have a good season. Also, worth noting here that the last window was an absolute disgrace, so I'm not entirely sure that two decent signings make up for raising the white flag and accepting relegation back in Jan, does it? Respect is earnt, not given.
If Nathan wants respect, he needs to make sure we are in one of the top two places this time next season. Then maybe we can talk about chants. I didn't see anyone asking for chants for Jeff last time we were in the Championship? At the time he'd managed to talk Neves and Jota to walk away from the Champions League to play in the Championship, which, let's be honest, was actually even more impressive!

Just watched Raul Jiminez's 50 Wolves goals compilation on YouTube, and I can understand the excitement around his return, which is why I believe they've brought him back; the fans need something.
So let's just hope he can bring some of that form to the Championship. Understandably, he lost some of it following his injury, and it has to be said that the quality of service he got from the players we had back then helped.
That left me reflecting: 1) Let Raul take the penalties.
2) Build a team, particularly with wingers who can cross a ball, set up to attack. 3) How much I loved that plain black strip with the gold edging.
So far, the window has been encouraging in its content, but of equal importance is the speed at which the Club have started it. Indicative of intent, yes, I think, in fairness it is, so let's just hope Re can take advantage of the support he is apparently getting.

Thanks, Bullys. Fair point.
