Forget all about agents, cheating and sour grapes. We have been comprehensively beat by the top two clubs. Cardiff were shown to be average by Small Heath. Too many die hard fans are too quick to defend poor lacklustre coaching and inept footballers. Football is supposed to be an entertainment industry, the Wolves fans were certainly entertained yesterday. I would love to be entertained at VP sadly this will never happen under Bruce.



15 Oct 2017 19:16:22
I think everyone on here has said that we were second best yesterday and they gave up second half, some posters were just pointing out the obvious flaws in the system at wolves to do with FFP. No one has defended our performance from yesterday.



16 Oct 2017 05:34:30
So what are you saying sack Bruce? When do the players take the blame? why is it always the manager I don't like Bruce but apart from Hutton not 1 of them players 2nd half gave a dam. Its there job they should at least run there socks off close teams down and battle doesn't matter what talent you have hardwork will always win and if you are not 100 per cent at your best the least you can do is put the effort in. What a funny game it would be if players were sacked for performances?



15 Oct 2017 14:48:58
What are peoples thoughts on snodgras and whealan? For me whealan can't start for us and snodgrass to, if greallish is fit. The games moved on now its about pace an we lacked it yesterday in mid and out wide where snodgrass played he's to slow . we need jedi bck fast an play ohare in mid also young borg at lb.



15 Oct 2017 15:30:43
Whelan is awful, we need Jedinak back. Snodgrass that was his first performance where he didn’t look up to it, can’t drop him off the back of one game.



15 Oct 2017 14:14:53
Did i hear right on hear a wolves fan said there bigger club than us don't make me laugh 1 good season in probably bout 30 years 😂😂😂 . now they start where they been all these years until now plus we have played 10 games nothings won after 10 games same nothings lost aswell . we will see at end of season if there champs il 👏 but not now jesus typical wolves fans deluded idiots think they need to look history books to see how many titles an cups they won .



15 Oct 2017 15:33:38
The wolves at present look a decent side with the big backing of fosen
They have a proven manager and have brought in top young Portuguese players,
They play a very adventurous way and they may or may not go up this season,
They have pace all over the pitch unlike villa who are pedestrian in build up play,
I really do hope villa and wolves both go up this season,
There is a good chance of that happening in my view
As for Whelan he needs to be dropped he offers nothing in my opinion,
Snodgrass is decent but I know he has not got great pace but he has good delivery on set pieces,
The main problem i see with villa is this slow tempo and lack of fitness,
Would like to see o'hare involved more and kodija needs a kick up back side,

Look everyone wolves were good we were bad yes they will probably win the league big deal, but 2nd spot is anybodys and we should make the play offs . yes its a shame we don't play attractive football an have champions league players but so what we will get on with it, this squad is good enough to go up by a country mile i'm happy with bruce 1 loss in 9 isn't bad we just need quick wins on the spin now.



15 Oct 2017 15:54:01
I agree 2nd place is up for grabs and it will be a rollercoaster ride to the finish,
My fear is that as of now if villa and wolves went up together
Wolves would survive in staying in prem but villa would have to spend big again to survive,
As for Bruce in my opinion he should be replaced if we go up
He has proved a few times he is not tactical aware to play against the better sides,
But at moment he should be left to get us up,
The championship is his domain.



15 Oct 2017 17:59:50
Your right if we both went up bruce should go an get silva from watford but that's along way ahead . I just wish we play with freedom and play fast tempo footie an press an defend as a team, if we do that we will be fine.



15 Oct 2017 11:46:58
Walk the walk, Wolves are a great club with massive fan base and if it 'needs looking at'
It should have been looked at under previous owners who stripped us to the bone and almost put us out of the game.
Of the team on Saturday, Ruddy in goal was free signing, Baath, Coady, Doherty cost nothing, Saiss £1m, Douglas £1m, Bonatini and Jota on loan to help us out.
Mighty Fulham paid £12m for McCormick in this league years ago.
Under Fosun, we are one of the richest clubs and heading for the Champions League. We need a 50000 plus stadium to accomodate us.



15 Oct 2017 12:09:14
They fielded 8 players and still beat us, we are a joke! If your lot need a 50000 seater stadium are you predicting every team you play is bringing 30000 travelling fans with them?

Gentlemen, let's be gracious about this, time will tell.

Any Ed know what’s going on with him at the moment? Would love to see him in the prem.

One thing that came of the game today, the Scottish Cafu . Hutton played better today, than he plays at RB . Some of his covering and tackles where brilliant, put his marker down for the next two games . You have to give it to him, he gets dropped but his attitude is great . Got to get man of the match for Villa today, he saved two goals with his tackles . Especialy when you consider, he was on his wrong side . I know you won't believe it but, I partially agree with Walkies, what's going on down at Wolves, needs looking at a bit more closely . How can an agent be allowed, to be part of any club set up . Agents cause enough problems in football, without being given this kind of freedom . Once again the Premier league and F A caught out . Looking forwards to Fulham . Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.



15 Oct 2017 07:05:08
Come down and look at us if you want!
Is it because we play proper football, or is it the fact that we are a bigger club, and secretly you wannna support us?
Your club and manager are embarrassing, get up with the times, what's stopping you contacting an agent and doing the same?
Or how about the "doctor" finding some players for ya?
He's cousin is good "wang one in" Scored lots in China.



15 Oct 2017 08:17:52
The only positive from the game is that we are still in 7th place in table,
As for the game wolves bossed the game for the whole 90 mins
They had pace and exciting players all over the pitch
Yes the agent brought in these players but would villa love that to?
This is the best wolves team i have seen for many years and the manager deserves all the credit to how they are playing the game,
Villa on the other hand are slow build up and there fitness levels need to be addressed.
We are still only 5 points of the automatic places so no panic yet but we are miles away from the wolves as I see it now,
When your best player on the night is Hutton playing in his wrong position that tells you all you need to know,
On kodija what has happened to him,
He looks as if he is not interested in playing for me.
Having watched blues play against Cardiff other night with there pace up top they will be a threat to us in that department
Next 2 games we need wins now,
Wolves to me are champions elect if there big players stay fit,
Even though we lost I had to admire how they play the game,
We had that under big Ron years ago and Bruce is not the type of manager to get us playing with that style,
But I'm still behind him in getting promotion,



15 Oct 2017 10:16:06
Diane you can’t really believe that this system your club is operating will make you anything more than a feeder club? Yes it may get you to the prem but currently your developing players that you will never benefit from because when they get to that level being “good enough” they’ll be gone. I suppose a feeder club is better than a nothing club so you will enjoy it a bit more than the last 10 years however I’d enjoy the rest of the season as much as possible, after that I can’t see it being sustainable or a fairytale.



15 Oct 2017 11:48:41
Wolves owners have more money than all the Chinese owners so they won't have to sell, so upset, out classed more skill, pleasing on the eye, not one of our players would get in that side, Jealous yes I am, I want villa playing with style.



15 Oct 2017 12:10:15
Awww bless a dingle in disguise.



15 Oct 2017 12:11:26
Diamo 1 nice offer but, after nearly 60 years of watching the biggest club in the Midlands and one of historically the best in the world, I'm afraid I will have to turn you down . I can't actually work out if your a wolves or Fulham fan, if Wolves, enjoy it while you can . i'm sure eventually the FA will wake up to the fact that agents, just can't be allowed even more power . Agents are a curse on football. they cause problems for clubs and up set players wanting them on the move, if they aren't moving they are not making them money . I agree it's a very nice position Wolves are in at the moment but how long before this agent want his money makers on the move again . Wolves at the moment are a shop window for his players, the better they do the better for him . I know Wolves have bought these players, but he is the one who has convinced these very good players to go there . A good season with Wolves and they will all be getting big money moves ., then How do Wolves replace them, they will be starting all over again . So in one way or another, the agent wins again Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.



15 Oct 2017 12:28:58
CHRIS I detest wolves, but love football played with style, been going up villa park since tony hateley played, age 10yrs, so don't call me a dingle.



15 Oct 2017 13:29:10
Get out there arse then, “wolves have more money than all the Chinese owners put together” my backside, show us some evidence of this. Not one of our players would get in their side, Johnstone would, a fully fit Kodjia would, Snodgrass is better than matt Doherty or Barry Douglas and your saying you’d pick any of their centre halves over JT? Do me a favour. Their attack is sublime and centre mids are way too good for this league, but your talking like the whole team are world beaters.



15 Oct 2017 20:14:50
You can't take the truth, open your eyes and see how good we are on the eye,



15 Oct 2017 21:07:22
So how good we are on the eye decides who’s better than us and who’s not, irrelevant of league position. That stinks, modern football really, don’t matter the result, don’t matter the long term aim, as long as we look good. You’ve obviously never watched a Jose Mourinho team in a derby game, results come first, not entertainment.



15 Oct 2017 21:08:02
And also if this is “the truth” show us some evidence of wolves having “more money than every Chinese owner put together”, I’ll wait.



15 Oct 2017 22:23:41
If you read, I did not say all together and Bruce is no Mourinho, if you like boring football that's up to you.



16 Oct 2017 07:59:43
Go on then, prove the wolves owners are the richest out of all the Chinese owners. no one said anything about liking boring football, you seem to make these mad statements with nothing to back them up then when questioned follow it up with absolute drivel.
