Ok, first 2 pre season games done. What are your predictions for Wolves place in the league this season? I predict 4th place and win at Wembley to go up.

No chance. We're a shambles at the moment, with a few weeks before we start. Defence is awful, and no midfield. Doyle is simply not good enough. Krejki. Bueno & Wolfe will be leaving, & take your gold tinted glasses off, Wolves fans, cus this is gonna be cruel. If we finish halfway, I'll be happy. Unless this club actually gets their act together.

From what I have seen so far, not a lot has changed from last season. We would rather go backwards than pass forward when we have the chance, and the back up players are not good enough. Let us hope we get some new players, or we are going to struggle again this season.
26 Jul 2026 08:45:28
Lexluna, the only time you will be happy is if we get relegated again, then you can say I told you so.

Guessing bottom half.
By Xmas, sack the manager, then bring another one in.
Same as normal.
Hopefully totally wrong.

Hope all you moaners and groaners get to eat a very large slice of humble pie at the end of the season, onwards and upwards. FWAW.
26 Jul 2026 09:34:59
Glady eat two large slices of humble pie.
If we manage to get promoted.
As it stands, it looks unlikely that's all.
Fingers crossed.

B Hill, I've followed Wolves for nearly 60 years, home and away, & if you think that's what I want, then you have not got a clue about my loyalties. You seem to think anyone who posts an opinion that doesn't suit your narrative is a doom merchant.
How about we struggle badly, & then you post "oh dear me", who'd have thought it. If Wolves don't sort this out very quickly, we'll be closer to the bottom than the top, & I'll wait for your posts to inspire us if better things to come.
26 Jul 2026 10:02:49
Tbf, Lex, the question was where do you think we will finish, and all you did was shoot down the original poster, telling them no chance and taking your tinted glasses off, while pointing out everything wrong with the team. Is it any surprise people find this doom and gloom? Why not just give your prediction instead of shooting other opinions down? This can be said for a lot of posters on here; they are happy to shoot anything remotely positive down.
I'm not sure on my prediction yet, as I haven't had a chance to follow the games.
26 Jul 2026 10:23:36
Not confident enough to predict a finishing position, but I fully expect the season to be full of highs and lows. Early-season results may give us a boost of confidence if results go our way, but the opposite would also be true.
The more interesting question might be which other teams are going to be challenging.
26 Jul 2026 10:24:54
Thanks, Goatmark, I'm glad to see someone gets the point. There is too much despondency about how we're going to do. He is not the only one who has supported Wolves for 60 years.
We all live in hope that this is the season, but we must not get too dispirited. Get behind the manager and team. Move on, not worry about the past. Those days have gone. F WAW

No chance of going up, certainly not automatically. From what I'm hearing, nothing has changed in the style of play, which is beyond belief. We can't score goals, and the defence is rubbish.
26 Jul 2026 10:46:43
Didn't I say closer to the bottom than the top? At the moment, that's my prediction. I would love a couple of weeks activity in the transfer market, but it seems we've got to offload first & then we go for what's left. Tell me I'm wrong.
26 Jul 2026 11:20:48
Don't make it personal, B Hill, please. Fair play to doing 60 years. Think it gives us the right to have an opinion in my eyes. We'll see.
26 Jul 2026 11:26:20
This site is all about opinions. Everyone has his or her opinion and debates.

imo it's quite obvious, QS, that CP is trying to change the style of play. Yes, in two friendly games we have seen some back play and sideways, but we've also seen the gaps that can be created by this, and the playing positions that need to come into them, freeing areas for runners.
Of course we havnt got a finalised team sheet yet, but just two players I've noted are: 1) Mosquiro restraining himself (this could be Trips' words of advice on the pitch influencing him, though), and 2) Munetsi, used to chase all over, now he's held his position.
A more disciplined approach seems evident, and other little things, like 'winning' free kicks, are notable.
Their style of play is transforming, the opportunity to attack developing. The only thing lacking at this stage is the lack of new recruits and knowledge of who will be performing.
The youngsters havnt got the nous or speed to actually perform CP's way yet, and that's where we may come a cropper. It's Fosun's way to some extent, but it's lack of sales that's holding us back.
If we end up keeping the bulk of last year's team, we're not going to get them gelled in time for the real ko, and we could drift into midtable non-competition.
I really hope there's some strong player activity this week out and in, so we can see something resembling a team come Saturday evening.
