Posters should go and have a look at their games from now on until the end of December - they have a tough run of games - certainly harder than ours.

If they are still above us as the year turns to 2018, they will have done well and may just say the ARE favourites for the league.

Are they tippy-tappy or do they have what's required to get through a tough winter period - I think we do, not convinced by them having the same resilience.

I don't subscribe to any "hardness" of games theory.

Every game is hard and if you're not on your A game you will get beaten.

Fortunately for us CW has a team that has such a work ethic that even when we're not at our best we never let the effort or tempo drop and not many teams can bring that to the party.
 
Was listening to talk sport yesterday at beginning of Leeds match. Ray Houghton said wolves are doing a man city and running away with league. Other commentator said but shef u are only 2 points behind he never responded to that but said he thought Middlesbrough and villa will make a push as most of there players have been together a long time. My thoughts under estimate us if you want, time will tell

If everyone wants to under-estimate us, then I have no problem with that. Ask fans and "experts" in the Championship and 9 out of 10 will say that we'll fall away from the pace. I've seen nothing from Villa or Boro to suggest they'll make a big run, but they are the names who were expected to do well so the chat will continue. We've done brilliantly so far, despite plenty of injuries, and Coutts' will be another for us to overcome. Hopefully plans are in place to add some more quality in our squad in January, but I'm happy with our lot.

As for Wolves, if anyone finishes above them they'll be promoted. Sure they've spent (shit loads of) money but you can see why they cost that much! Their win at Reading shows to me at least that they've got what it takes to battle for results, and they'll always be a threat going forward. If they get the upper hand in games they'll be very difficult to stop, I was very impressed how they dismantled Villa as an example.

I'm parked next to Molineux, who should I get to take Wilder's shilling to bolster our squad?
 
This season has so far been truly great and a top 10 finish is the bare minimum now (given the start we have had)

However looking towards next season. I hope fans don’t get carried away and expect too much on the back this season (if we are still in this league) when again mid-table would be great. For me the 2019.20 season is the one where we should really kick on. If we make it before then all the better but until the end of the 2019.20 season we should reserve any judgement as to where we are as a club.
 
Wolves fan here, with a soft spot for the Blades. Proper club, solid fan base, decent away support etc.

Just to add to the debate, we are a good side going forward this season because we have a Portuguese front three with a lot of pace who interchange well with each other. However, we are also pretty solid at the back with a back 3 who can all pass a ball and are comfortable in possession. That's it really, no great secret, pace up front and a strong back line.

I have seen us in this division many times over the years (often competing with the Blades for promotion) and we are playing well, but this division is still wide open and everyone is beatable. You have shown how a promoted team can push for a second promotion by keeping the team spirit and the momentum going, while pre-season favourites like Boro and Villa are still struggling to establish any consistency. The same as for us, there is no reason why you won't be battling for a top 2 finish throughout the season if you keep the mometum going and have Sharp/Clarkey continue playing the way that they are in the same way that Jota/Bonatini are delivering for us.

I can't speak for other Wolves fans, but I suspect a large number of us are much happier seeing the Blades up there than Warnock's cloggers. Nuno and Wilder are both doing outstanding jobs and long may it continue.

Thanks for the EEL loan last year. Great asset at times. Though his claim that Clarke would starve without his cooking have proven misplaced.

Was entertained by the great Robert Plant last night at Wolverhampton Civic Hall (which due to recent events seems to have turned into the Baghdad Green Zone). When he mentioned Wolves, I thought - for the way they play and the attitude of the manager would be happy for you to go up - as long as it's not at our expense

Unfortunately, EEL is now out in the wilderness on loan at MK Dons which is a shame for him as he could do better than that. You got yourself a better deal with Stearman who is a good, honest pro although prone to some mad moments from time to time. Plus you were linked with our player Conor Coady earlier this season and thank the Lord you didn't get him as he is our player of the year at the moment.

The big surprise for me this season has been Leon who we had for two spells and looks to be playing better now than ever. Always looked a bit moody/disinterested for us so good to see you're getting the best from him.

Leon still cultivates a moody demeanour but as you've probably seen is currently unplayable and relentless in his approach.

You was doing OK there until you mentioned the "M" word. The only reason we are up there according to the pigs and the pundits is because of "momentum" and "pashun". Nothing to do with our football of course.

I'm not knocking your football at all as you're winning games and that's what it's all about. We walked League 1 in 2014 with 103 points and kept it going the following season with 78 points in the Championship, with virtually the same team and formation. The big M is not the only thing, but it certainly helps.

That's two reasons; momentum and passion. Add ability to that though and they're not far off. They've got ability but no momentum and no passion, that's why they're mid table. Our manager ensures we're well coached and are a proper team, working hard for one another. Their manager doesn't.
