Two of the three best teams in the league currently are Middlesboro and West Ham who are both leading in goals scored. Wolves have been beaten by both. Wolves have a long way to go to reach their heights. Bolton beat Wolves at Molineux and conceded five at home to Middlesboro.

Agreed Lindsay, people can say it's CP and maybe some of it is but here we are again with yet another manager let down by recruitment! Looks at the stats from last night's Boro game, Crozier and Lanksheer absolutely ran that game and between them took Bolton apart!
They were bought in for very little up front fees (I believe around £15m) and they will likely see Boro promoted. We on the other hand despite all the empty promises, went back to the bargain basement of free transfers and cheap players from smaller leagues.
Honestly, I feel like I'm living in groundhog day! It's just a rinse and repeat of the following steps for the last 5/6 years! 1. Get a new manager 2.sell him down the river with poor/cheap recruitment 3.wait for the fans to turn on him and say he's not up to the job (despite him never having a squad up to the standard of the expectations set) 4.sack manager take three months to find a new one and go back to instruction one!
Honestly, I'm just so bored of Fosun by now, it's just all lies and the mad thing is it seems to work! Cause it's always the manager that takes the heat and not the board that's sent him out with half the talent that he truly needs to get the job done! ?.

BB you are far too kind to the club.
Wolves spent not massively different to Boro, just spent it insanely stupidly.
Bertrand Traore, who may well never pull on a shirt, earns not far short of double what Lankshear and Cozier earn put together!
The "surplus" from Traore's salary plus the fee for Said virtually pays for the upfront fee for Lankshear and Cozier is on loan with only a modest loan fee.
In other words even if Said only earns a very modest wage the total outlay for the 2 is roughly the same.
Wolves appear to have bought two very modest players who will make little to no impact in the league. Boro as you say have acquired 2 players who are leading them to a possible promotion.
If Wolves had simply reversed the deals and had Lankshear and Cozier instead of Said and Bertrand T they almost certainly would be top of the table and probably home and dry!
Mind blowingly stupid.
PS, the 2 Boro boys are HG as well. The 2 Wolves are not!
