Away Day programme 2001

Wolves go to Rotherham today needing to put in a good shift to try and get the fans back onside.

Poor results are starting to see the home fans turn with boos ringing around Molinuex at the end of the 0-0 draw with MK. Wolves have a good record against Rotherham united and must keep that record going today.

Again we go one up top with Le Fondre in and Afobe dropped. Ebanks-Landell comes in for Williamson.

Ojo dropped also with Wallace taking his spot on the bench.

Is Afobe dropped due to poor form or has a deal been struck and it's to save him getting injured.

I think it's to give Le Fondre a boost and give ~Afobe a kick up the Jacksy Badge. An interesting move by KJ, but I will also be interested to see whether Holt gets a chance during the match. I agreed with Thommo last week when he criticised KJ for not bringing him on late in the match when we just needed one goal.

Batth should have scored, and that's part of the problem with our team this season - not enough of the team scoring goals.

Good start for King Ken, 4 points off the play-offs as things stand in early December, at this point last season we were 5 points off 6th. Not a bad effort with such a mediocre squad.

All gone pretty flat now after the enthusiasm of our early goal. Some poor passes out from the back notable, particularly by Ebanks - Landell. Le Fondre doing well alone up front & Graham generally having a good game.

22 minutes to be played. Wolves still ahead but certainly not in control. Our defence is still fragile at times

Not really , we only had 18 000 home fans the other week if u exclude visitors and expect to see sub 15 k crowds at molineux before long at a much bigger club than rotheram.

Not even close to being as bad as the football under Solbakken or Saunders, it's poor but some people totally exaggerate.

No comparisons from me, just pointing out the football was far worse under those two so we can't possibly be playing our worst football for a 'long long time'.

i think were goner have to agree to disagree on this one, clearly you think Kenneth is king, but i don't, and a lot of others on here think the same way. but that's your opinion and i respect that. all i want is for wolves to be doing well no matter who's in charge. and at the moment were sh#te.

Lets be honest we've been shite for the last 30 years really. It's debatable whether we have had one decent manager in that timeframe with some of the football under Dave Jones and solbakken the worst I've seen above the level of park kick abouts. In the 90s there was always some hope the team would improve as the intent from Sir jack was there contrary to the turgid stagnation under Morgan but it was dreadful to watch. I remember watching us away to Bradford in the early 00s under the fiddlers tenure as manager and thinking surely this degree of footballing inadequacy couldn't be surpassed but it has been numerous times by different managers.

yeah your right angry, you would have thought in all that time we would have had at least one decent manager,some might say mick has been the best over that time, but he hasn't had a much competition over the years. you have to go back to 1980 to our last decent manager john barnwell. i would love jacket/a.t to ram my words down my throat but i'me afraid that's never goner happen under him, he is so limited as a manager its untrue, the dross we have to put up with week after week makes you wonder why we bother, that 2nd half today was as bad if not worse than its ever been. i don't come on here a.t just to give you grief because your a big jacket fan, i say it because that's the way it is, and there's no getting away from that

I'm not a big Jackett fan, he's an average Championship manager but my point is that with Morgan and Moxey in charge we aren't going to get anyone better and would more than likely end up with someone far worse. The ideal scenario is that Jackett keeps us well clear of relegation and a new owner is found by the end of the season. Then have a clean sweep of them all, Thelwell, Moxey and Jackett.

The first thing the club should do if and when we get a new owner is get rid of this "head coach" title once and for all. I'd give Jackett a decent budget to work with as it's not proven either way whether he is up to the job or not but if money was spent and we drift as we are then the case for sacking him would be irrefutable in it's credibility of needing to upgrade.

This drift into 'feeder club', mid-table-championship kind of mediocrity has been excruciating.
Maybe we all should not have screamed so loud when the builder was about to hire Steve Bruce!
The few games I have seen this season (Forest is on live, yea) have not been good with all the pack shuffling and lack of penetration. But most of the bad shtT (stearman, macdonald's contract etc) seems to have been generated by M&M, not Jackett.

What would Steve Bruce have done. There is no way Morgan would have given him the money he has been allowed to spend at Hull City.

No, of course not. Merely pointing out that we ended up with clipboard, solbakken etc. You never know, he might have kept us up.
Still it does make you wonder how much conversation the 'coach' gets to have with the owner; not much I would guess. But it isn't nothing and presumably they must communicate SOME view of what they need; or maybe they sit there (or stand if that is what is allowed) and nod amiably like Bob Cratchit.
