Marked for Benjamin Evans

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Jason Phillips keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Wolverhampton may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words at Wolverhampton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jayden Danns 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.

Match

Mark Johnson the difference as Wolverhampton beat Bournemouth

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mark Johnson. 1‑0 against Bournemouth, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rodrigo Pinto

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Mateus Fernandes is still paying for one afternoon at Wolverhampton

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Squad

Benjamin Evans signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Benjamin Evans and Wolverhampton agree another 4 years.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jake Wain

41 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Wolverhampton lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Miguel Soares raises the bar for Wolverhampton

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Wolverhampton heard it as anything else.

Match

Birmingham take the points off Wolverhampton

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rodrigo Pinto

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Wolverhampton training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kostas Souvlatzis 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.

Match

Mark Johnson answers Birmingham immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Mark Johnson had Wolverhampton level again within 3 minutes, and Birmingham never got to play with a lead at all.

Boardroom

Inquest at Wolverhampton

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad

Benjamin Evans stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Benjamin Evans and Wolverhampton agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Artem Yefymenko 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 Wolverhampton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
