Completely ordinary, not impressed. Mosquera easily best player. FWAW

Yeah. Still, the Doom & Gloom crowd is still active since we didn't score 10!

No, if you can't see what's blaringly obvious, then you have a problem. We've played a League 2 side that could & should have been 2 nil up. Score 10 or we moan? Do you know anything about football whatsoever cus I'm thinking you're a 'We've won & doesn't matter how' fan. In reality, this team are not gonna be challenging for promotion. Goalkeeper who couldn't get his place at Bristol City.
Toti is at best low average. Mosquera spends more time arguing with officials than playing football. Munetsi is the Scooby Doo of football, cus he keeps running but gets nowhere. Raul and Trippier are on their own up to now. Sorry, pal, but you are very deluded if you think this team will be challenging for promotion. Unhappy if we don't score 10? Behave yourself, lad.

Hmmm. I guess somebody is having a little temper tantrum. Maybe you should sit in the corner, until you learn how to have a conversation with adults in the room. You talk a lot of smack, since you are invisible on here, but that is ok. I can take it. But, if you can't control your emotions, and have reasonable dialogue with opposing points of view, you should not be on here.
I never said we were ready for promotion. My point was already that people are moaning about this or that.
No game is perfect. No player makes all the perfect plays. The opposition usually has some opportunities to score. The difference, many times in games, is the finish. We won that battle tonight. Be happy for once, instead of whining about what wasn't good. I'm sure Peixoto and staff will review the good and the bad from the game. New manager & several new players to learn, so this will take some time to gel, and for everyone to realize if we have a chance to promote or not.
So, behave yourself.

Tbf, if we win every week, I won't care how.
In all seriousness, it's a banana peel avoided. On to the next, which should give us more of an idea of how we will do. I never understand the people who can, with such certainty, say things like we won't challenge for promotion.
Who knows what will happen? Maybe we sign a few decent players. Maybe all the players we have improve. No point writing it off, as you never know what can happen. It may be unlikely, but it's more enjoyable to have hope. Otherwise, what's the point.

Btw I agree with probably every other Wolves fan regarding Toti. He isn't good. I have hope that he can handle this level, but not confident at all. He definitely is not PL ability. I hope we find a left foot CB to replace him.
Jackson T confuses me. He has such speed but doesn't use it to blow by defenders. I hope he moves on, since he won't use his greatest asset.
Hopefully we don't see Hwang again. Enough said.
Munetsi isn't skilled, but his endurance could be beneficial to Peixoto's planned pressing style.
Mosquero just needs to keep his trap shut and not expect a foul every time he gets bumped. I think he can be solid overall.
Not sure about Doyle as a starter, but he has his moments and can make a tidy through ball pass at times.
Bentley isn't a #1, but right now all we got. I would prefer Johnstone or another keeper, but definitely not Sa again.
Everyone else I'm ok with.
Just my humble opinions...

If we were simply happy with a 3-0 win against lower league opposition, that would be that, but there was a lot to worry about in the performance tonight. We could and should have been at least 1 down in the opening pushes from Port Vale, the bar and Bentley's body preventing others.
Toti was the Toti we know, slow, unpredictable and, quite frankly, a loner at times, and he was captain. Thank goodness we've got Tripper looking across.
Mosq enjoys his game, but is always on the verge of seeing red (literally), arms flailing in protests, no idea what he says.
This pairing at the back will be ripped apart.
Deija isn't the answer, and I'd bet on Kreiji leaving, problem number one.
Munetsi, there's a puzzle. No doubting his commitment, no doubting his fitness, he can run and run, but where to, what for and for what product? Doyler has the thing Mutetsi hasn't, but not the command or strength.
That's problem number two.
Those, for me, are the two priorities in any transfer incoming: strengthen the back, strengthen midfield, and we're getting the spine of a team. Raul showed in that one shot what he'll provide up front, so that leaves us with Bentley as a starting point to the backbone.
I'm not overly concerned there. Yes, he's not perfect, and I'd prefer Sa should he stay, but I've seen worse GKs. He's not the quickest thinking, maybe, but I suppose it's about risk taking and whether we can afford to take it.
Also, am I the only one who is now finding CPs style a bit boring? It's becoming predictable at times, and as seen early on last night, if teams get stuck in and hound us into early ball play block, we'll get caught out.
3-0, next round, game out the way, nothing that anyone wouldn't have expected. Move on, hope to have at least two recruits, and see how Blackburn test us next week. We may not be so happy.

Abbey, good post.
It is amazing how many posters are saying the same thing.
(Actually it's not because it is obvious, what is amazing is that the club doesn't seem to see it!)
GK, LCB and CM are the 3 problems, plus perhaps some depth, especially in the Wide Forward areas.
Sa, Krejci and of course J Gomes would have been the soln's, but clearly Gomes had to go both for his sake and to enable the club to meet those pesky financial rules.
I know many don't agree, but I'd be perfectly happy to take a short term soln by picking up another one or two in the Trippier and Raul mould - players obviously far too good for this level but on their last legs and so a one season or two at most gig!
The obvious one is Tyrone Mings - not a free but a modest fee and wages prob in the region of the other two - he is younger but has had injuries!
All in he will cost far less than Santi who appears to be the obvious one to shift on unless you can find a Portuguese team that wants to buy Toti!
Mings is a LCB and thus allows Krejci to move into CM and/or adds depth.
Given HG concerns, his HG status helps as well.

I'm confused, Abbey. You are bored with attacking football, you don't want five at the back. What system should we play? Kick and rush Sunday morning football. Would you be happy with that?
08 Aug 2026 09:09:56
PS, my comment on cost of Mings v Bueno was: Mings amort plus wages would be less than Bueno's amort and wages PLUS his transfer sale fee (divided over the length of Mings' contract, which I assume would be 2 years!). Obviously, Mings will cost more than Bueno in fees and wages paid, but not once the Bueno fee received is added on!

NJ, I am def in the doom and gloom camp - having seen the on and off field performance crater so spectacularly since Seville, I don't think that is unreasonable.
However, I have absolutely no beef with those who wish to take a more positive, or just different, view.
What I suppose gets me is those posters who simply moan - as your first post did - "don't moan" with no positive or alternative view.
You then wrote a sensible piece that I completely agree with, although some might have found it a bit doom and gloom.
I hope that we can all see the positives.
I am having to rethink Lopez, for example, and perhaps others might place more weight on them and believe they counter the negatives more than others do. But it seems some posters can't even be bothered to explain what they see as positives; they just like to moan about moaners, or moan about moaners pointing out the negatives.
Maybe we all need to be more balanced and less emotional in our posts, as hopefully we are all fans, and in any case it is merely a talking shop, and Nathan/Jeff certainly aren't going to be quaking in their boots regardless of what is written.

Doom and gloom merchant = a caring fan of over 60 year's who's shed tears at our demise but still went home and away. I suppose visibly crying on the south bank at our inevitable drop to the 4th division makes me a doom and groomers.
08 Aug 2026 11:55:03
B Hill, I'm not bored with attacking football. I'm worried we're becoming predictable, and others will have us sussed, push on us, and exploit gaps. Bored was the wrong wording.
08 Aug 2026 16:43:30
TFIG, I love reading your posts, but you cannot take emotion out of being a football fan. It is what drives us, the elation of a good win is great medicine for the soul.
