I went to the first two home games and was locked out of the opener at
brentford , before beginning my semester in exile in the USA.

On the team news front, Bully says he'll never leave and bought an
executive box for his mates to prove it. In pre season Wolves lost to
a bunch of Scottish amater XI's  - Dundee etc.. - before playing their
first games on the new pitch in front of the lovely, - really really
beautiful New New Stand - against Arsenal and Villa. They drew with
Arsenal 0-0,Suprise Suprise, and with Villa 2-2, Bully scoring two crackers
in front of the envious Big Ron.  However the really big news was that
Wolves lost  Venus, Madden and Ashley to injuries - the first two serious
- and so we were without all 4 of our back 4, since Mountfield is
suspended for the first three games of the year, for the start of the
season. So we signed paul Blades on loan from Norwich to plug one of
the gaps and he played brilliantly in the games i saw him, the
other centre back was the giraffe Shane Westley. Ashley recovered
and played with the other midget andy thompson  to make up the
back four.

Brentford 0 -2 Wolves.  dennison had a cracking game and scored as
the referee played advantage  when the goalie handled outside the area
and bully scored a nice first timer - like Platts against belgium -
 Micky Stowell also played well and saved a penalty given up by
out of depth Shane.

Wolves 3-0 Leicester  Bully scored his 200 goal for Wolves and minutes later
was headbutted by leicester's outclassed centre back steve walsh - OFF
OFF, OFF -- Yes. End of game, Leicester looked the better side if anything
but with 10 men they left gaps. Stowell saved another penalty again given up
by the lead footed Westly. the New new Stand was packed and generated alot
of noise.

wolves 2-2 swindon  Wolves scored in the last minute of each half to
claw back a point. This was the opposite of the Leicester game Wolves
were looking very good until Westly tried to dribble on the half way line
- the new back pass law is causing great confusion - and was robbed
leaving a 1 on 1 for the railwaymen. incidently Wolves have not changed their s
tyle with the change in rules they still back pass but now stowell is expected
to kick it up first time with an attacker 5 feet away. why oh why don't we
give up the throw in !!! . Anyhow Glenn hoddle apart - He was a class apart -
wolves looked superior in every department but nevertheless looked beaten
when Cook's shot hit a defender balloned into the air and downing ran through a
nd volleyed it into the net from 12 yards out.  YES

oxford 0-0 Wolves -BBC world service

barsley 0-1 wolves  - grapevine

in general sorry to be so pessemistice but even with Blades i think
we are a couple of players short of promotion. Our midfiels has alot
of silky skills in Denison and Cook but downing and birch especially this
season seem short of pace. up front andy mutch is little more than
adequate - he missed two sitters which should have put the game away against Sw
indon - and we can't keep on playing with thompson AND ashley in the back 4
 watching them try to take on Leicester's giant 6'9" Olney was truly
farcical - .

basically if venus comes back we buy blades and the division is even and
derby keep on playing badly we may make the play offs.
