Wolves vs Reading (battle of the baldies)

[markwwfc1992]

Wolves's first league home match of the season under the management of Italy's legendary goalkeeper Walter Zenga. We welcome Reading to town, who also have the legendary Dutch defender Jaap Stam taking charge over the summer.

This fixture will come too soon for some of our incoming transfers that are set to break Championship records, but we'll still have a decent enough squad to pick from here. Expect us to play 4-2-3-1 for this one:

Ikeme

Iorfa - Batth - Hause - Doherty

Teixera - Saville

Henry - Mason - Costa

Bodvarsson
​

Going for a 1-1 draw, Bodvarsson to score for us.

Not sure whether it's because I work with lots of Wolves fans or because of what is happening behind the scenes with Wolves but I feel as though they are becoming a 2nd team to me, I know that much about them now

I know Stam got off to a good start on the opening weekend but really fancy Wolves to take all 3 points in this one. 2-0 with Bodvarsson and Teixera getting the goals

Starting to thing Carsen Yeung is actually our new owner, another week of near constant linking with the sorts of players who realistically wouldn't want to play for either us/this level and yet we are sill on the verge of starting a side barely different from last year and with a rubbish rightback playing as leftback!

1-3 Reading.

 

[The Southbank]

First trip to Molineux since 2001, when I was arrested..... should be an interesting return!

 

[JJH]

Great start for Stam and Reading to the season, back-to-back 2-0 wins. Wolves are far from done in the transfer market, and may well be playing catchup at the end of the transfer window after what could be a slow start.

1-1.

 

[Dazza]

Glad to be playing Wolves now rather than when there incoming transfers have joined. Think it will end up a draw.

 

[Madejski]

Back to the drawing board..

 

[big mean bunny]

Sounds like a very good performance from us. Not sure what to say now.

But on a serious note we played very well today, and in contrast I was surprised on how poor Reading were.

Love Bodvarsson already, gave everything he had today and really deserved a goal. Teixeira, Mason and Batth were also very impressive.

Role on Ipswich on Tuesday.

Good to see Ronald Zubat back, still remember that goal away at West Ham. Screamer...

 

[PaulWolves]

Really good performance, great energy and pressing when Reading had the ball although I didn't think they would be that poor. Bodvarsson has got a bit of everything about him and will defo be a fans favourite if he carries on like that. So far so good, just hope it continues and we start filling the ground a bit more.

Were you on the train? A lot of your fans were pissed up singing about Deniss Rakels and something about Alan Pardew being a paedophile... was weird.

 

[Dazza]

We were utter shite. We just invite pressure on to ourselves by knocking it around our own back four far too much. 3 or 4 times we got caught in posession around our area. Aimlessly passing it around the back is not going to cause the opponents any problems. Al-Habsi kept it from being 4 or 5-0.

If it's the group of supporters im thinking of then yeah they are weird. Did they all look between late teens/early 20s?

Southbank is in his mid 30s so i doubt it was him.

Yeah they were the ones

Yeah, it certainly wasn't me - what were the lyrics?

We looked a bit slow and lethargic, but nothing overly concerning in my opinion. The foundations of a good team are there.

No idea.Thankfully i didn't get the train back so missed out on what i'm sure were some outstanding lyrics. Mark will probably know. Sounds like he had to put up with it.

 

[Madejski]

We don't have many songs, so surely it has to be THE Rakels song.

Deniss Rakels

Deniss Rakels number 10

I think it's "Found him down the Oxford Road in a Latvian deli" although my hearing is crap so could be something different.

 

[markwwfc1992]

My hearing is terrible, I thought you were singing about Rotherham players originally...
