Best memory:

Got to be the City home game, packed house, right after Christmas, great time in the pub pre-match, game had absolutely everything including a late winner

Biggest regret:

Not hanging on vs Sheff Utd or Burnley when we really should have. I'm going to miss European football and there are your moments

Saiss

Top 3 games:
Man City (a)
Tottenham (a)
Man City (h)

Worst 3 games:
Chelsea (h)
Burnley (h)
Brighton (h)

Worst player:
Vallejo - bizarre all round considering his reptuation on signing for us

Top 3 goals of the season:
Jimenez v Tottenham
Neves v Man United
Doherty v Man City

Best memory:
Espanyol away - never thought I would ever get to be at a European away match in my life

Biggest regret:
4 points from the first 6 games. Some really poor performances in there but we also just had some freak goals go against us at the exact wrong time. One or two wins in there and we would have been so close to the top four.

Top 3 areas to target in the window:
Centre back
Wing back
Centre midfielder

Top 3 targets:
John Stones (just for TT)
Max Aarons
Josh Dasilva

League position for 2020/21:
6th - we've performed at a top six level both seasons in the Premier League, now is the time to match that with the points we should have got, if not overperform slightly, we are yet to do that.

Traore (1st) v Man City (a)
Neves v Man United
Doherty v Man City

Best memory:
Any of the Europa games, but possibly (and this will sound sad) but Crusaders at home - my first proper Wolves European game after all the years of shite.

The way we started the season, before Jota’s goal against palace we hadnt hit the ground running at all.

Top 3 Players of the Year (in order):

Raul Jimenez
Adama
Ruben Neves

Top 3 games:
Torino (A)
Man City (H)
Tottenham (A)

Worst 3 games:

Chelsea (H)
Arsenal (H)
Everton (A)

Worst player:

Jesus Vallejo - its not even a hard call. Actually felt sorry for him. His reports before signing for us gave a lot hope we had a star in the making. The English game was not for him

Top 3 goals of the season:

Neves vs Espanyol (H)
Neto vs West Ham (A)
Neves vs Villa (H)


Best memory:

Torino Away. Going to an away game in Europe. Stuff of dreams really for a Wolves fan. The place was friendly, we were welcomed with open arms (shame on us for not doing the same) and the game and atmosphere, epic

Biggest regret:
Not dealing with Adama when his shoulder popped out v Spurs (h). That few minutes of confusion at the end gave them the win and adding 1 point to us and taking 2 off Spurs did us as much as a few last min goals. I can't remember if we had a sub available or not but Adama was not with it and defending the corner, people forgot their jobs trying to cover a space.
Also throwing in thinking VAR would be a good thing. It isn't and never will be.

Top 3 areas to target in the window:

RCH, RWB, FW (different to Raul) (ideally chuck in a LWB on loan and a CM as well)

Top 3 targets:

Ruben Dias, Corona (just because of his name really) & don't know, thnk we may have go down the Mout route for a forward. Someone who has been there and done it.

League position for 2020/21:
8th (but a Cup win thrown in)

Best memory:

Man City home game, my lad jumped on me, he was so so happy at what a top team we were turning into

Biggest regret:

We were looking really good before the COVID shut down, and never got back to anything like that form after the restart.

Top 3 areas to target in the window:

RCH, CM who can create when they get forward, RWB who can help us play our way up the pitch, with good technique

Top 3 targets:

Ruben Dias (Jean-Claire todibo), donny van de beek (boubakary Soumare), nelson semedo (Jesus corona)

League position for 2020/21:

5th - the teams in Europe will struggle with the amount of games and the shorter timescales

Tredman, is that Man City at home as the 3rd worst game?

Yep, fucking hated it. Complete farce, VAR utterly ruined that game for me - should've stayed home and ate xmas pudding.

We beat VAR that night.

The VAR moment that ruined a game for me was v Leicester at home. Never felt so deflated at a game as that one

Bizarrely that didn't feel as bad for me, but possibly because I plumbed the depth of VAR hate during the City match

 

[Lycan]

Liverpool away was the worst VAR moment for me.

Worst 3 games:

Man City (H)

All VAR based. Absolutely fucking hate it that i'm fed up of moaning about it now.

Worst player:

Jesus Vallejo but i'm most definitely disappointed with Jota. Flashes of brilliance still but not performing at the level he is capable of consistently. Hope he can get back to the Spurs away levels for him and us.

Top 3 goals of the season:

Neves vs Espanyol (H)
Jimenez vs Tottenham (A)
Neves vs Man Utd (H)

Best memory:

Has to be City away for me. We were excellent that day after playing away in Turkey the Thursday before and those 2 late goals were just outstanding. I think it showed how good we actually are when we're able to show it.

Biggest regret:

Not adding to the squad sufficiently to cope with the demands of the progression we have made. We are a good side but we haven't added the amount of quality needed for the games we've had and it's cost us another season in Europe.

Top 3 areas to target in the window:

A centre half, a midfielder that can carry the ball and a striker. We do also need a wing back though now.

Top 3 targets:

This is too tough to narrow down to 3 for me so won't do it especially realistically without knowing what we're going to spend.

League position for 2020/21:

Get recruitment right and top 6 with a possibility of 4th. If we don't then 8-10.

I've had to Man City at home as my worst game because i've never felt the way i did at half time at a game before, Liverpool away was close but it just felt wrong. However it could have been the best game as the second half was ridiculous and was what football is all about. I can't forget that first half though.

 

[YoungWolf]

Good shout on Southampton away, that is up there with Bristol City for best away game I’ve been to
