Here we go again

With two wins in a week Wolves look to be back in full flight with under two weeks before the first league outing of the season.

The week started brightly with a hard fought 2-0 win away a Celtic with Kevin Doyle showing he is ready and raring to go. After a long week of traveling Wolves headed to Ipswich for their second pre-season game of the week. With this in mind Wolves started with a weaker squad with re-enforcement on the bench.  Wolves found themselves 1-0 down with 75 minutes gone when a drastic change turned the match on its head. In particular Stephen Hunt who scored an equalizer and Sylvain Ebanks Blake who got the winner showing that the sharpness is really returning.

This week will be back to normal business with a hard week of training before a home friendly on Saturday against Real Zaragoza. 

Crew away

The build up to the big kick off

A busy but good week at Molineux this week as we build up to the start of the season.

After I said that we needed to make signing quickly my prayers were answered on Tuesday when the word that Rodger Johnson was in talks with us.

By Thursday the announcement was made that Wolves had made the signing for £7 million a bargain after Birmingham looked to be trying to make at least £10 million from him. Straight away he got stuck in asking the boss to play on Saturday in our first friendly against Crew.

Come Saturday excitement filled around the Alexandra Stadium as Rodger Johnson stepped out in the old gold and black. In front of a big following of 900 quite a sluggish Wolves side who looked a few weeks away from full match fitness. But another match filled few weeks and we will nearly be there. A great strike from Kevin Doyle was the highlight in a mixed squad of first team and reserves.

Hopefully this week we will see a full starting eleven play the first half against Walsall just to get them to gel together again. By Notts County on Saturday we will see a much fitter and sharper Wolves side. This week could hopefully see a new signing as I think are squad is still a little bit short a left-back seemed to be needed especially if you’re listening again Mick?
