Anyone else think that Wolves seem to have regressed a bit? Were really exciting to watch at times in their first season but seem to be so dull now.
Doherty made a big difference to them, I think. Hasn't made a massive impact at our place, but they've missed him, so far.
Sold Jota too, so they've lost two threats, one on each side of the pitch. Didn't replace Jota, either.

VAR just needs a few adjustments. The refs are the main problem, but they're not going to improve in the current circumstances.
We need to change the way that they're treated on the pitch and start picking up academy players that don't make it.

Who'd want to be a ref at the moment? ****ed off everywhere and disrespected every time they take to the pitch.
Nobody takes it up at the bottom end unless they're mental, so the top end are ****e too.

Well this is the point, giving **** officials technology won't suddenly make them good, they'll still be ****.

Agree about picking up players who don't make it, as well as those whose careers are shortened by injury.

The VAR officials should also be a separate team to the ones on the pitch, recruit retired ones from abroad perhaps?

Make offside subject to clear and obvious and introduce a 30 second time limit on all decisions.

All of the above would improve it massively. It'll still be **** though.

We play them next. Fancy ourselves based on last couple of times I've watched them.

You're definitely playing better than them so far this season, but international breaks **** up momentum. Wouldn't like to call it.

The only trouble with picking up players, is you will see the same result as what you see in the studio, bias, dependent on the position you played. So a defender will say no handball, a striker will say handball. Just bin VAR and its team altogether, bring back arguments of old, that still persist now, but without having to pay a fortune for useless technology.

We'll be able to celebrate goals again too.

Bar the odd result we've been pretty good since the turn of the year. Ings is obviously a big miss but think there's more goals in the team than last season. International break come at a good time in that respect.

With you lot playing City and Leicester playing Liverpool it's a good opportunity to stick around near the top for a while longer.
