Wolves Vs Bristol City FC

By: Toby | January 15th, 2009

It seems almost a formality that some football shall be played this weekend, as the news of Kaka’s on off, on again off again transfer to Cashchester City FC spills over the front and back pages of the papers, a rumoured 107 Million transfer fee here, a £500,000 a week contract rumour there. It makes me all a bit soured and jaded to the whole thing. Let’s be frank here, Wolves are trying to get promoted, along with a lot of teams in this league, so what awaits us all if we do get promoted?

Teams that can buy players like Panini stickers, fantasy football stuff. It’s bizarre, and while interesting for the neutral, I’m sure it shouldn’t be allowed to happen, the sooner FIFA or the FA do bring in the home grown rule to the Premiership the better, because it’s turning into an utter farce. So there, we go, now back to the actual Wolves game. So off we go to Ashton gate, full of brim and vigour I’d imagine, trying to forget last Saturday’s debacle against Preston, and trying to remember the mid week win against Birmingham. Wolves will surely be buoyed by beating the team currently lying in third, and will hopefully be taking that with us on the coach down to Bristol for the late kick off of the day.

Wolves are currently having a…sticky patch when it comes to form, in so much that we’ve only won two of the last five, drawing another two and losing the other one. While in most years that’d be perfectly acceptable, in our position we need to be averaging a much better points ratio. Bristol aren’t ripping up any trees either to be fair, lying smack bang in the middle of the table pretty much occupying that no man’s land where it’s going to need something special to make the most of a season. Their recent form is not too unlike our own LWWDL which highlights the fact that we’ve not been playing to our full potential. Their lead scorer is Nicky Maynard, seen to the right doing some pretty awesome football gymnastics, much to the surprise of Silvestre.

Well I just don’t know on this one, on paper it’s an easy win, we’ve nearly won twice as many games, scored twice as many goals, nearly twice as many points. But we all know that it’ll be a hard game, away from home, I don’t know, I’m going to be happy with a 1-0, 2-1 type of result. More importantly, I as well as many Wolves fans want to see a performance, I don’t care if we don’t roll another team over all season, I just want a performance which makes me think that we’re playing well and that we’re solid, something we haven’t been for a while.

Well here’s hoping!

Tarra-a-bit!
