Wolverhampton Wanderers v Scunthorpe United: Previ
By John Georgiou February 17 2008
A goalless draw at Blackpool and a thumping at Cardiff. Ah, another picturesque illustration in Wolverhampton Wanderers' 07/08 chapter. As usual, Wolves, the inflatable "giant" of the division inflates and deflates it's supporters in successive and ultimately unproductive fashion.

At least if we were putting these tits in clown costumes the entire ordeal would be mildly amusing. Imagine Mick's post match interview, you'd have thought him mad, completely self oblivious and impossible to take seriously. Actually, that's what we have now, scratch that, let's just put him in a West Brom shirt, that way he'd be positively infuriating, insane.... forget it. 

I feel like I'm banging my head on a slate bongo trying to understand what exactly is going on at the Molineux, and what exactly is running through our manager's head. Stoke was possibly one of the most deflating and embarrassing games I've had the misfortune to experience. And the corner we're supposedly turning seems to be never ending.

It wasn't supposed to be like THIS, that's for sure-

      Pld GD Pts
  1 Stoke City 33 15 59
  2 Watford 33 14 59
  3 Bristol City 32 1 57
  4 WBA 32 26 55
  5 Charlton 33 10 52
  6 Ipswich Town 33 10 51
  7 Burnley 32 3 47
  8 Hull City 32 3 47
  9 Plymouth 32 8 46
  10 Crystal Palace 32 5 45
  11 Cardiff City 32 2 44
  12  Mick's Spanners 32 -4 44



You've really got to wonder what is going through Steve Morgan's head right now. I don't think we could possibly give Mick more backing club-wise, we've stuck with it through the shambolic December-January period and those of us of little sanity still support him halfway into a depressing February. But at the end of the day, are we simply willing on the horse with three legs to win the race and hoping our blind faith will somehow bring us a miracle?


Forget it, don't bother pondering, it'll all work out, everything's fine, this is just a blip, trust me, I'm right 50% of the time.

Onto Tuesday's game against Scunthorpe. I haven't the patience for it, I'll give you the usual; must win, small chance of promotion if we don't. Win and we keep Mick, lose and we protest, flaming pitbull terriers thrown at the players. 

Scunthorpe currently sit bottom in the division, with two wins in ten league outings. Wolves sit pretty in 12th (my favourite of all the mid table positions as fans are still able to count how many points we're off the play-offs without having to scroll down the page and do complex mathematical sums) with 3 wins in their last ten league outings. Scunthorpe have scored just 4 goals in their last ten games, conceding 17, Wolves have scored 8 goals in their last ten games, conceding 15. Really, when you look at it like that, we're relegation candidates, but as long we continue to play positive, attacking football and field our strongest possible XI, we'll pick up the points sooner rather than later. Oh, wait a minute.

In all competitions:

Wolves: WLLDL

Scunthorpe: LWDLL

A relegation six-pointer it is.

made me chuckle
i really think im going to have to dig up a recipe for humble pie soon
after sticking up for mick.
i still stand by my view that support for the team would have seen us turn a corner waaay back
but the positions untenable now i'd imagine
especially if we lose the next game..
