A gentleman is simply a patient wolf. Wolves (H) 12/9

[BWFC_Insane]

According to the stats, over the season so far Davies has our highest pass-success percentage (89.3%), our highest average number of passes per game (46.8 - a full 10 passes per game clear of the next-highest, Dervite) and our highest number of accurate short passes per game (39 - next is Danns on 29.2 and Vela on 29).

So he passes short, he passes often and he passes accurately. It's not a bad start.

He could be a good player. I get frustrated with him when he does his disappearing act - probably because I expect more of him. If he manages to last the season, it'll help us.

To be fair to Mark Davies he's not really a dominant central midfield type. But he's looking good to me. Deeper role, but he's working hard at the off the ball part I've noticed.

Vela was the 'oh is he actually playing' one for me yesterday. Danns was badly missed. Who does Pratley replace if everyone stays fit? Feeney?

I'd argue that Pratley only needs to replace someone because of injury or suspension if we keep playing well. I wouldn't change Saturday's starting eleven, especially if the same XI beats Wednesday.

Nah, Pratz walks back in. Lennon said as much in his end of game comments saying we miss his physicality.

My thought 2nd half as well - but as I've said previously IMO Danns was the usual ineffective shite, consistently getting caught in possession and giving the ball away time and time again - admittedly we did play worse when he went off but that was because the sulky, head down, can't be arsed I'll not try that much Vela replaced him....so in that respect I prefer Danns to Vela at the moment, as Vela doesn't look like he is putting in the same effort & energy he did last season.

I assume Danns gets picked because of his work rate & effort, which I agree is decent - but his lack of composure & ability on the ball is alarming (its like a hot potato at his feet) - straight swap Pratley for Danns when Pratley comes back IMO.

Danns broke up their play and filled the hole in front of the centre halves.

He is our most effective midfield player off the ball.

^^^ aah. "Playing without the ball".

Y'know I'd forgotten how good we were at that.

[LeverEnd]

^^ It never ceases to amaze me, that mavies always manages a performance against his ex club. Pity about the rest of the season...

Perhaps he can teach Madine how to have a good one on Tues. He needs to soon, or we'll all be thinking what my Owls supporting mate thinks, that he's not good enough for this level. Head looks to have gone down for me. I'd still start him because of lack of options and the effect it might have on him to be dropped against them, but he should be off early 2nd half if he's not pulled his finger out and Ivanhoe can come on and sweep their defence aside.

As for Davies, he can disappear and it irritates me, but he's only done it a couple of times this season and he's getting better as the season goes on. I wonder what his record is for consecutive starts? Stattos?

[Worthy4England]

He averages about half a season per season. He did 16 consecutive league apps in 2011/12. I think that can't be far short. Can't remember whether he missed any in his run of 18 last season.

See that Wolves have been put up for sale by Steve Morgan.

My first thoughts were be how that would impact on our Eddies attempts at sale. I don't know much about their off field commercial set up, but If you were a foreign owner with a burning desire to buy a championship club which Wanderers would you buy ?

Here's the guy, Morgan .... Mr. Redrow ..., who bought into a club he didn't support as a compensation for not getting hold of Liverpool Admin., the team he's followed from childhood.

What he has done is NOT be an Eddie Davies and kept his losses under control. The fans have been on his back constantly - obviously of the view that any owner must arrive and chuck hundreds of £millions at it. Buying any club really is caveat emptor as those pesky fans are an ungrateful lot with bottomless expectations.

Are Wolves still going ahead with their staged redevelopment of Molineux?

Should never have sacked Mick Mac...

Was that the one where they prepared for Europe?

[Tho anyone who saw the old molineux is in total awe at the outstanding beauty of the current one...]

interesting article here - some similar issues to our own http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wol ... ul-timing/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Partly answers my off field business questions - stadium partly re-developed, new training, Acadamy 1 status. Just doesn't say how much he wants for them...

ED should buy Wolves. Asset strip the feckers and pay off our debt with it. It's only right n proper.
