The boyhood team of mine, Wolverhampton Wanderers are finally living up to their founder club status of over 100 years ago. After a home defeat by then top club Cardiff City 2 weeks ago, Wolves sputtered to 2 draws, first a 0 - 0 away to Brentford and a 3 - 3 draw at home to Bristol City.
Yesterday, 16th Sept 2017, Wolves pulled off another great away win over Nottingham Forest at City Ground winning 2- 1 and all the fans left for home happy. I was following the live streaming coverage from the comfort of my home, but boy, was I transported back to a 16 year old fan once again. Diogo Jota scored two opportunistic goals which were world class. The goal by Nottingham Forest Carayol struck me as a 'kelong' or 'fix' where the goalkeeper just stood and stared as the ball flew into the net from 25 metres out. Caught like a deer in the middle of the road staring at the car's oncoming headlights. Goalkeeper John Ruddy needs to focus and wake up !!!
Diogo Jota is proving to be a wunderkid on loan from Athletico Madrid ; to Fosun the owners of the club we, the fans owe you a debt of gratitude that finally, with money, a brilliant visionary Head Coach in Nuno Esperito Santos, enlightened players, finally we long suffering fans of Wolves can get some pride that we can and will be back at the Premier League with the best of the best.
My mid term goal is to watch at least 3 Wolves games 'live' in England.
I will follow the Wolves this season, through all their ups and downs (there will be for sure).
This season, 2017-18 will be exceptional and eventful.
