The Wolves 77 Club

Three points, a clean sheet and ground gained on the teams around us. So why did Wolves’ 1–0 win over Watford still feel harder work than it needed to be? This week, we look back at a game Wolves dominated but couldn’t put to bed. There was plenty to like, with Jordan James impressing and Mateus Mané taking defenders on, but the final ball and finishing left us sweating over a result that should have been comfortable. Are we missing a reliable goalscorer, making the wrong decisions, or expecting too much from a team still picking up points? We also discuss whether James and Fer López should start together, what Trippier brings to the side, and why the mood at Molineux remains so flat. Plus, we look ahead to Cardiff: can Wolves build on the win and give us a performance to feel good about? Follow the 77 Club and subscribe for more Wolves reaction, debate and match previews.

Four points from two games, so why does it feel like another frustrating week supporting Wolves? We look back at the comeback win at Burnley before getting stuck into Tuesday’s 1–1 draw with Portsmouth. Chirewa’s winner gave us something to build on, but Devlin’s late equaliser at Molineux brought back some familiar complaints. Why can’t Wolves put games away, and is César Peixoto’s assessment of the performances convincing anyone? With Raúl Jiménez out until January and Adam Armstrong struggling with injury, we debate who should lead the line and whether Wolves have left themselves short. Plus, Fer López’s growing importance, a Watford preview, score predictions and a hypothetical rescue mission: which former Wolves striker would you bring back for Saturday?

Two defeats, too many missed chances and now Raul Jimenez is out until January. Wolves’ return from the international break has been one to forget. Sam, Harry and Jack look back on the 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough and a miserable 3-1 home loss to Bolton. Adam Armstrong’s finishing, Jose Sa’s mistakes and a lack of quality out wide all come under scrutiny. Is it time for Joao Virginia to get his chance, and should Sean Neave finally start up front? The pressure is building on Cesar Peixoto. We debate his substitutions, whether Wolves have a convincing plan B, and how much responsibility lies with the players and the club’s recruitment. There’s also a frank discussion about Fosun, supporter frustration and whether renewed protests would help. Plus, the latest injury updates on Jimenez, Rodrigo Gomes, Bertrand Traore and Boubacar Traore, followed by a Burnley preview, our proposed team changes and score predictions. We finish with a brief trip to China, where two balls ended up in the same net.

The Black Country bragging rights belong to Wolves. Sam, Harry and Jack relive the 1-0 win over West Brom at Molineux, with Fer Lopez punishing Nat Phillips’ mistake to settle the derby. From the pre-match nerves to the celebrations, there’s plenty to enjoy about a performance that deserved more than a one-goal margin. We discuss Andre’s midfield masterclass, Nasser Djiga’s growing influence, Toti’s impressive return and the difference Kieran Trippier makes. There’s also the Jordan James penalty shout, some nervy final minutes and a debate over who deserves man of the match. Attention then turns to Ladislav Krejci’s absence and the questions raised by the manager’s post-match comments. Was something lost in translation, and what happens next? Plus, Wolves’ international call-ups, England selection and Morgan Gibbs-White, a first professional deal for Jerome Abbey, the debate over moving away fans at Molineux, and the cancelled fan-group meeting. We finish with The 77 Club’s upcoming charity tournament appearance at Compton in support of Wolves Foundation.
