October 22 2016
Wolves and Leeds United go head to head for the 94th time today and Leeds have a good record against us. They have won 41 times so far including the last two meetings.
Match Facts
Leeds' 3-2 win at Molineux last season is the last time they scored three goals in an away game - they have scored 18 goals in 18 away league games since.
The last three league games between these sides at Molineux have triggered an average of 5.3 goals per game, capped by a 3-2 Leeds win last time out.
That win at Molineux in December 2015 gives Leeds a chance to win back to back league games at Molineux for the first time since September 1973.
After enjoying back-to-back wins against Newcastle and Brentford, 16th-placed Wolves have now failed to win in four matches.
No Championship side has conceded more goals in the 90th minute or later this season than Leeds (3).

Afternoon Ian and everyone.
I think think could be a very important game for or manager today. Only one point between the two teams, and if we lose we will be heading even faster towards the relegation zone.
Now that KJ has taken hold of the reins at Rotherham I think we can expect to see them climbing off the bottom before too long too.

Interesting that Iorfa doesn't figure at all today. I haven't heard of him being injured have you Ian?
I've heard nothing Chesh about Iorfa.
Match has started a bit physical

Can't help with commentary at the moment Ian as I'm getting nothing on Player other than white noise on any of my equipment
hefty collision on Bods but the Leeds man comes off worse.
Woeful free kick from Tex.

Dicko delayed on a shot, should've took 1st time when cross reached him unmarked in the box

nothing to add on my 10 minute round up
Tex shot goes out for a corner, Costa takes. Ref blows up for a foul play by Dicko, poor decision.

Too much stop and start from fouls, neither side having a shot on target yet.

Strong challenge puts Bods on the floor. Most of the fouling is coming from Leeds. Can't believe they've got away with everything.
Costa puts in an awful cross with 3 players queuing up for a shot.

3 chances in a couple of minutes, 2 to Leeds. Taken until now for any clear cut chances.

Edwards booked, dunno why, poor dfecision especially considering how Leeds have played
Got commentary now. Seemingly every broadcast affected for some reason! Under 23 Coach Scott Sellars is guest commentator & he thinks Tex has been our best player which is heartening as I'be had great doubts about him.
Dicko & Dadi struggling to develop a partnership up front so far.

Stuart Atwell has had a poor game so far, Leeds have been brutal but we get 2 undeserved yellows. Complete failure to get a grip on the game. Zenga has been doing his nut.
Poor defending gives Wolves a corner. Tex takes and put out for another corner.
5 in the area but corner bends and lands on roof of the net.

Still waiting for Hartlands Cider to join the forum. C'mon Derek I know you're watching !
Costa shot from 25 yards, another that dips onto the roof of the net.

The same old story as usual. Lots of effort but no craft or strategy.
Wolves cross straight through the penalty area, no-one there.
Poor cross now from Costa too high and straight through to the Leeds keeper.

More rubbish with Wolves only managing 1 shot on target.

I wouldn't worry, Zenga won't be here for the Blackburn game next week.
Shocking again. Still can't believe those in the south bank chant that Venga is going to get us in the Prem. Deluded souls or what.
Zenga has got to go. The only thing in his defence is that he hasn't yet had his own window to get players in the he wants, but would I trust him ? No.
With Jackett now in a new job I'd like to think he'd invite Thelwell down there too. Our coaching is obviously pathetic.

23,607 there.
Not a good result at all. So, only 1 shot on target, that is really disappointing. I'm not into calling immediately for the head of a manager, though appreciate Zenga's appointment doesn't help. I'd just like to see some progression, instead we are now 18th, 4 points off the drop and 7 off the play offs. Just shows a change in management / ownership / players doesn't necessarily bring immediate dividends (not that I am saying I'd like to see M&M back. - no way!). They all need to bed in - but the signs aren't good at the moment.

It's solbakken all over again I'm afraid.zenga is nice enough guy but he's simply out of his depth.I never know what the hell he's talking about in after match interviews either.looks like it's time for change already which is a shame but it can't go on like this.I'm seriously starting to think there is a curse on this club.

Batth playing up front now. What desperate measures!!
First time since Dean Saunders was the manager.
Leeds were one of the worse teams I have seen down here recently we should have murdered them.
In the last 3 games we have only managed to score 1 goal and even that was a penalty so the strikers are clearly misfiring. Add that to the suspect and constantly ever changing defence and the uncreative midfield then its no wonder we have problems. The manager hardly inspires confidence either when you look at his CV.
However what yesterdays match does show is that its not just the manager who is clueless but also a fair proportion of our fans. When the lineup was posted on social media most people seemed happy that we were playing 442 (or at least 2 strkers). They seemed to be of the view that playing 2 strikers was a sure fire way of us scoring more goals. I have also seen many comments from fans wanting to bring Sam Allardyce in, yet these are the same clueless idiots who signed a petition about not wanting The Moneyshop as our sponsor. They really are a hypocritical bunch.

this is all goner take time, if anybody thought we were goner take this league by storm, think again.but were in good hands, if things don't work out they will act, not like our previous owners. on zenga, it was a bit of a shock when he was named boss, but I've grown to like him, more passion in his little finger than jacket has got in the whole of his body. but he's goner be judged on results and he's failing to get them. jacket went a whole season with boring football and sh#te results, zenga wont be given half that time

and nor should he having spent 12 million last summer and being able to bring in a higher calibre of player... something Jackett never was able to do. Under Jackett this squad would be top 6 IMO
There are now rumours flying around, including Tim Spiers from the E&S tweeting that following the defeat Zenga flew out to his family in Dubai. This whole Zenga episode clearly isn't working and whilst i have no issue real issue in that he is visiting family over there it does raise a few questions.

This appointment of Zenga is fast proving to be a disaster. The team huff and puff and individuals occasionally show flashes of skill but there is no end product and, more importantly no points. The wholesale changes that took place a few months ago have not all been productive and change is required very soon or we will find ourselves in a lower league. I am sure that the owners want success and that they will invest but they do not have the knowledge of the English league that is required and are being advised by others with no Championship experience. The club needs a steady experienced hand at the helm, someone with a broad experience of the English leagues. Not sure who that may be and at this point in the season there are not many candidates available.
The best candidate went to Villa, Think the next best went to Rotherham. Moyes may be good enough for the Championship if he is sacked at Sunderland.

None fill you with confidence. Nigel Pearson maybe, but he comes with baggage. Nigel Atkins is another but since Southampton has not done much.
Oh and there is LVG I suppose.

Allardyce would be the ideal appointment but would he come here.. unlikely unless the moneys right of course.
It's disappointing to say the least - but I can't see Big Sam coming at present even if he wanted to. And would he fit the owners vision, or that of their advisors? TBC.
In the meantime we have:
The Legend of Zenga

None of this will matter, as I said he wont be in charge for the Blackburn game
None of you b.uggers would listen
