Match Thread: West Ham v Wolves 9.12.2024

A very truncated introduction to tonight’s crucial match v West Ham United, apologies as family issues have got the better of me and I haven’t been able to read any pre match news.
Like many I thought GON would be gone after Everton last Wednesday. When we needed a performance to apply pressure, Wolves surrendered in very poor style against a side who previously couldn’t score to save their life! Except they did, just the 4 and it might have been a lot worse.
Tonight we play The Hammers at the London Stadium who have their own problems so much so that GONs predecessor Lopetegui is under immense pressure too.
This match brings to an end this weekends round of fixtures where we now find a gap has opened up between 17th and the bottom three. A win for Wolves seems vital, however unlikely, to plug that gap to a larger extent, but whatever happens we’d remain in the relegation zone.
I usually end by saying enjoy the match, that seems a stretch on recent form, nevertheless tonight the result is everything. The players really need to get their finger out and put a few things right.
Everything crossed. Please leave you comments below, Up The Wolves!!

Our club is in a sorry state and nothing but significant change will alter that so for heavens sake bite the bullet and get on with it.
Cmon lads
Thanks for you're efforts gary but it's the end.
O'Neil not the big problem, we all know it's fosun.
Doesn't matter who comes in they ain't got a chance of keeping this lot up with no backing.
Fosun can give us all the blah blah blah about fair play it's just a smokescreen they are asset stripping this club and when there's no more decent players left to sell that is when they will dump this great club.
It's the bhatti brothers all over again.
That said, if we can't defend free kicks following the basics of marking your opponents we create our own problems. Zonal marking has never convinced me as effective.
Seeing the demise of our great club, yet again due to loss of interest by the owners, is heart breaking, whilst we call for a replacement manager, who on earth would the reigns of a club seemingly doomed to Championship football next season?
Whilst Fosun provided a taste of European football did they ever really understand the finances involved and required to consistently challenge for Europe season after season - clearly not. Look what Nuno has done at Forest with decent backing - no wonder he left maybe he could see what was developing.
Then COVID struck and provided Fosun with the get out excuse, so stripping the assets slowly but surely.
Thanks for memories Fosun now do the decent thing and sell the club sooner rather than later or plainly just waiting for the parachute money to swell your coffers.

Who will be the next manager then? That is should anyone desire it.
Maybe utterly unconnected and I am really the last person with any inside knowledge or inside track and I am dreadful at the rumour mill but I’m up here in Wolverhampton today, 300 yards from Molineux. All I will say is Steve Cooper was in the bar queue tonight and right behind me.
