Ex-Wolf Watch

[Elephant Pyjamas]

We played really well at Molineux but the finishing was crap. The narrative is that Shilton had a worldie, he didn't really. He made saves you'd expect any keeper to make, just quite a lot of them.

Their goal was annoying. One as McAteer blatantly shanked it and two as Stowell had a terrible habit for 2-3 years of being beaten easily from range.

I didn't go into the away leg with much faith at all, the chance had gone. Bolton were a better team than us in general, our defence had totally gone to shit at the end of that season and we were playing bloody Rankine in CM.

This is so true.

He was so regularly 3 yards off his line and then would jump 2 inches as it sailed over his head, then he'd look perplexed.

Even the Danny Dichio goal, whilst obviously bloody brilliant, and the second best goal i have seen, it probably should have been comfortably saved with better positioning.

In terms of how Peter Shilton was at the time he had a worldie.
He had been beyond shit for a couple of years..some great highlights out there of him making Lonergan look decent

 

[Tony Towner]

The only game he ever played for Bolton if I recall correctly

Can't remember if I put it on here (sure I sent it to you, Stu).

Crikey.

The leaden (is that a word DW?) footedness Stowell showed around this time was very reminiscent of Shilton around 1990.

Still my favourite Wolves and England keepers though (I think)

N.B. Favourite not necessarily best

 

[Tony Towner]

Shilton was from the mid 80s onwards a shite keeper and from at least the 00s onwards an arsehole of a human being

Also have songs unique to themselves and not generic “England’s No 1” chants.

“We’ve got Micky Micky Stowell in our goal, in our goal” is still sung most weeks in the North Bank by the pissed up bloke near me. “Tina, Tina, Tina “ was a regular for years

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If we're going "favourite" Wolves keepers and people who were first choice for a fair period then:

Murray
Rui
Kendall
Hennessey (we'll ignore how he left and him not knowing what Nazis are)
Hahnemann
Stowell
Sa (he pisses me off, just a moron sometimes. But obviously pretty good)
Ruddy
Oakes
Ikeme
Postma
Jones

If it's ability then you'd swap a fair few around.

 

[Paul]

No Segers then

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not So Super Hans wasn't even first choice for two months!

 

[Tredman]

Jones is a bit high there.

Inside Bruno Lage's time at Wolves: Players 'disengaged' with training and man management issues

Lage was informed yesterday afternoon that his reign was over after 15 months, 46 league games, 16 victories and just 41 goals.

A) Feels good to be posting Bruno Lage news in the ex-Wolf thread.

B) The Athletic with scoop of the century this morning: Lage was a cunt and his players hated him.

Non-paywall version?

Is that why the long face ??

Brutal.

Also a bit daft, given Emerson Royal's sending off was a massive reason why Spurs lost the other day.

Ex-Spurs Player - Matt Doherty

This guy still sounds like a dick though Going by his avatar, he's a Man Utd fan.

[Deutsch Wolf]

They're both properly crap.

He went through a spell last season of whenever they lost, he'd just drop whoever played at RWB and play the other one. Then repeat it when they next lost.

Doc against us at their place was seriously shocking, I don't think he got one thing right all afternoon.
