The terraces9 Aug 2027

The mood at Wolverhampton has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Market9 Aug 2027

Terms done: Alfie Brooks is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Colchester United waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Wolverhampton is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Boardroom9 Aug 2027

Still nobody in the Wolverhampton dugout

39 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Squad9 Aug 2027

A falling-out at Wolverhampton

André and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad9 Aug 2027

The step up is real for Sean Neave

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Late improvement for André

At 26 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Words at Wolverhampton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kieran Trippier is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Loan watch9 Aug 2027

Lewys Benjamin has seen enough of Crawley Town

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Wolverhampton, and 0 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout9 Aug 2027

Liberato Cacace gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad26 Jul 2027

Jack McMillan in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Crawley Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Junior Mpanza will join Crawley Town for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Junior Mpanza has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Crawley Town have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Door shut on Jean Galindo

Crawley Town asked and Swindon Town said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market26 Jul 2027

Marcus Dinanga told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Marcus Dinanga has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Crawley Town.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Crawley Town ask about Bruno Fernandes

A loan enquiry to Sheffield Wednesday: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words at Crawley Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jay Williams is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

Macaulay Gillesphey asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Neo Eccleston wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Crawley Town will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Market26 Jul 2027

Crawley Town and Joe Wollacott are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
