Podcast Introduction

Speaker
The Global Sports Podcast Network.
Meet the Hosts
00:00:10
Speaker
Hello and welcome back to the Daily Southampton and today the Daily Wolves podcast from the Global Sports Podcast Network.
00:00:17
Speaker
My name is Greg and today I'm as always joined by my good friend Zach. How are you doing Zach? Yeah, all good, mate. my I've not been completely ruined by a looking forward to football yet.
00:00:29
Speaker
The hope cycle hasn't kicked in. You mean that the optimism is building? It's fine.
Wolves' Upcoming Match Preview
00:00:34
Speaker
And today we are joined from the Daily Wolves by Chris. How you doing, bud? Hey, hey, I'm good, thanks. Living the dream. Living the dream.
00:00:40
Speaker
Yeah, so
00:00:44
Speaker
earlier in the season we might have looked at this fixture coming up on Saturday and hoped it it would be a six-pointer, but...
Importance of Winning on Saturday
00:00:51
Speaker
For us, that seems to have long gone. And the hope of any result being anything more important than getting us past Derby's record seems to have gone.
00:01:01
Speaker
Chris, how um important for you guys is a win on Saturday? it's It's really important for us. I mean, we are gradually creeping away from the bottom three now. we got the draw against Everton last week, which was, I think, given their recent re resurgence in form, was a good, solid point.
00:01:20
Speaker
um So, i mean, if we get the if we can get the victory against you guys and then the bottom the rest of the bottom three were to lose again, that would put us nine points clear. So... you know yeah I think this is a but this little run that we're in now, Everton, you guys, and we've got Ipswich coming up. like We're playing all the ones around us. So yeah, this is vitally important for us.
00:01:40
Speaker
Kind of stranded in the strange position in the table where you're you're sort of almost cut adrift from the the bottom three and almost cut adrift from anything above you. It's ah bit of a strange one, right? And so I suppose it's a bit of an indictment of how the league as a whole has gone this year. that it's sort stranded. And do you think there's anywhere else other than 17th that you think you can push on and catch up with sort of West Ham and Everton?
00:02:08
Speaker
I mean, ah few weeks back, yeah, i would have said, yeah, but like you said, it's a bit of a weird one. Everson are only one place above us, and yet it's about 10 points now since Moyes came in or something like that off the top of my head.
00:02:20
Speaker
So I think it would be a hard push to make up that gap. I think we can definitely get closer to it. I feel like under Vitor Pereira, we've even if the results have looked inconsistent from afar,
00:02:31
Speaker
As a Wolves fan, you can see that performances throughout his reign have improved, even when we've been losing. And some of the teams we lost to, the likes of Forest and Newcastle, Liverpool, which we actually dominated Liverpool for the second half, and and we were fortunate not to get anything from it because they didn't get a shot on our on goal for us in the entire second half.
00:02:50
Speaker
so you know we we've been solid as a unit we've improved with January signings of Agbadoo in defense really short us up a lot we've been because the first half of the season we've conceded from set pieces like no but like crazy and now that's kind of all gone away um we're scoring less but we look more structured and so you know despite the fact that we won't have Kunya for this game because he's on his ban i think if anything that's a Some ways we've been discussing the past possibility of that being a silver lining because this team needs to plan for life without Kunya.
00:03:22
Speaker
This team needs to be looking because he's going in the summer. It's not official, but we all know it. You know, that they they need to be showing they can do it. Everton, they scored, they got the draw. If we can continue that form and show that they've got life in them as a unit without Kunya.
00:03:36
Speaker
I think actually, although teams around us will be thinking, yeah, we're going to face him without Kunya.
Impact of Kunya's Absence
00:03:39
Speaker
That's a good thing. I think actually it could be a blessing for us. They need to work, step it up as a team. Yeah, it's definitely something I've looked at the fixture and thought might be a sort of a key point.
00:03:49
Speaker
Obviously, in the the reverse fixture, he scored both the goals against us. So you think he's still got that edge to to get those goals and and take the game?
00:04:00
Speaker
Or do you think that maybe ah maybe we're almost a banana skin that's ah potential to slip over? I mean, given the way our season has gone, there's always the potential for banana skin because, you know, prior to the season starting, we would not have expected to be in this relegation fight, you know, for most of the season.
00:04:20
Speaker
But I would like to think ah every every game in the Premier League is a banana skin. i don't care what people say every game. But I think with the people we've got, you know, getting into form and I say the new signings and the way that Vitor's pushed the team, i would be, I'd be devastated and shocked if we didn't get something from this game. Hopefully the win, it should be the three points. No offense, but like, that's what we're going into it thinking this has got to be, you know?
00:04:47
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. I feel like I've asked that banana skin question every crossover episode so far this season. And one time it's got to come true. I don't actually think it's happened at any point yet this season, but ah that's just another indictment of our season as opposed to anything else.
00:05:08
Speaker
Where are the threats coming from? what what What's the danger we have to look out for coming from you guys? Well, obviously, like I mentioned, because we won't have Kunia, so the the talisman, the danger man that everyone is expecting is not going to be there. So with him out the way, although he hasn't scored since he came back from injury, Strand Larsson, obviously the the main striker from last summer, summar he's on seven goals prior to his injury, and then he was out for a while.
00:05:31
Speaker
And he's had a couple of games back now. He's getting back into form. So potentially, i mean, we're we're looking to him, obviously, to get back into goal scoring form. But to be honest, the the most interesting dangers, I would say, it depends whether you're talking as a... If we if we discount goals for a second, the people that have been stepping up like recently in terms of performances within the team, Andre in midfield, I mean, he dominated that game of against Everton. you know he's the anchor, the linchpin defensively that just holds it all together. he i think he won 12 turnovers in that game and was like...
00:06:06
Speaker
five ahead of the next person. They like won so many one-on-ones. It was ridiculous because he just, he's the linchpin that protects that back line. So if he's having a good game, he can just shut people down.
00:06:17
Speaker
um And then Bellegarde for us has stepped up last few games under Vitor and the Gary O'Neill, he was a no man. Like he was just out on the bench or out on the wing. And then Vitor came in and went, actually, you're a central midfielder. Let's put you where you should play.
00:06:29
Speaker
And suddenly he's like, you know, creating assists and scoring goals and just looking rampant. And it's like, where did this guy come from? And it's the epitome of a new signing that is not a new signing kind of thing.
00:06:40
Speaker
So, yeah, that's probably where the two, the two, I would say, interesting names to look at. Yeah. Playing players in their right position is a lesson that a lot of modern managers really need to learn.
00:06:51
Speaker
and Not least our manager. Yeah, I feel like we had this conversation, an element of that conversation last time we met. Yeah, a different manager and same nonsense. ah It feels like we're making steps in the right direction after the last game for...
00:07:07
Speaker
But yeah, I don't know, Zach, does hearing in an out-of-form striker trying to get back into form fill you with confidence, or does that sound like the rest of our season? Sounds like the rest of our season. Probably score a hat-trick. That's kind of how it goes against us at the moment, bit isn't it? How many out-of-form strikers and players have we given an opportunity to ah this season? I can think of just a couple off the top of my head. Rashford, United, managed to get a goal against us.
00:07:32
Speaker
He's not even at United anymore for the foreseeable. we We've just had... it's been a bit a sancho that was That was the name I was trying to forget, right? like That was how we both realised he was at Chelsea.
00:07:46
Speaker
We'd just entirely forgotten he disappeared off the planet. so so yeah One of the few questions I did want to ask I had a couple of conversations with some Wolves fans on Twitter after the departure of Mario Lamina because i found that to be I thought he'd really grown up when he'd gone to you guys and then proved to kind of be otherwise. and I think it's really disappointing for somebody to be a club captain and then just go, our new manager now can't be bothered. I imagine, i don't know, what your feelings on that kind of situation?
Lamina's Departure Discussion
00:08:15
Speaker
Yeah, it was an interesting one. It's a shame because he tarnished what was becoming even just ah a year or two, a really good, you know, legacy at Wolves. And to be honest, I think Vitor, if anything, was a little bit confused and hard done by because the fallout was from Gary O'Neill's reign and he just never, never recovered from it because he'd already, he'd, he'd lost the captaincy under O'Neill through the fights after, i think it was the Ipswich game on the pitch or a tussle left. And he had a couple of tussles, one after Newcastle, one after Ipswich.
00:08:43
Speaker
And so like he he got stripped of the captaincy and then he kind of refused to play. And then Gary O'Neill went and then Vitor came in and he was already not training with the team and like saying, I want to go.
00:08:56
Speaker
Vitor obviously was like, well, um I've asked you again if you want to stay. And he's like, nope, I want to go. so He's like, I don't want to play someone that doesn't want to be. Oh, that was it because they went to play. I think we went to play someone and Vitor said, you know, because he's fit again. Are you ready to play? And he went, no, I'm not coming. I'm not coming on the coach. I'm not going to play.
00:09:13
Speaker
So, but it was all, it was literally from the aftermath of what Gary O'Neill's reign and I feel it. Vitor just walked and was like, what is going on? Trying throw to deal with situation. Yeah, it's disappointing. I was able to, can't remember who it was that i was chatting to on Twitter, but it was able to point out the montage that he created when he kind of got done with us.
00:09:31
Speaker
And I think he was really gutting for a ah move to Man United. So he put out this whole montage. And it was just, I think from from like a Saints fan perspective, we could always see the talent that was there. And it was really nice to see him sort of settle down in a team that,
00:09:43
Speaker
Like from a personal perspective, I've always had a little bit of an affinity to Wolves and and then to sort of see him throw that away all for the sake of, you know, ah ah bit of a disruptive season. Yeah.
00:09:55
Speaker
It's upsetting to see, but hopefully look stronger, brighter things for you guys, at least probably not position that you're in now, but you know, in the future, I'm sure.
00:10:05
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like because Viso Pereira that's come in seems a lot more strict, shall I say, a disciplined than or disciplinarian than O'Neill, who was much more like, I think, arm around your shoulder kind of guy, wanted to be their mate.
00:10:17
Speaker
And that kind of worked for Lamina to an extent until it didn't work. a And then, so when Vittor's come in and this guy's like, well, I'm not in the mood, I don't want to play. He's like, all right, then off you go, because I don't want people in that are going to disrupt my dressing room.
00:10:30
Speaker
And that was it. Out the door, mate, you're gone. And with most people, Vittor says, you know, you get one one mistake is fine. You make the same mistake twice, then I don't want to know. So it's a simple, he's actually said that in an interview pretty much. So it's like, yeah, I'm not, I'm not having any mess in my dressing room. they' good they You want to be here, you want to be here. If not, get out the door.
00:10:49
Speaker
i think Sounds like the sort of no-nonsense that we need, to be honest. Yeah, I was going to say, do you see, I know that we're we're running a little bit for our first outbreak, Greg, but do you see any contrasts with our team? Because I certainly do.
00:11:01
Speaker
ah but Yeah, the the main difference being that it seems to be working at Wolves. Yeah. Well, they also had a new manager bounce. Yeah. Ours was a draw. They had a 0-0 draw with Fulham. What more do you want? That was under the assistant manager, Greg, but not the actual... It was under our caretaker. You're right.
00:11:20
Speaker
Our new manager bounce was a 1-0 loss to West Ham, so... oh all right Well, that leads us very nicely into our first break and a message from our partners.

00:12:24
Speaker
How are you feeling about the game? what What do you think is a good outcome?
00:12:31
Speaker
is Is it bad that like my optimistic outcome that's perfect is a good to draw at this point? Because I genuinely think that that would be something that's building on that Liverpool performance. Because once again, i don't think that the scoreline was necessarily reflective of how well we played.
00:12:45
Speaker
It's probably the best first half of football I've seen us play all season, just completely thrown away with a second half performance that was nothing. So it's it's so hard to judge at the moment.
00:12:56
Speaker
And especially where we don't know if Juric is just going to reverse and try and play players completely out of position again. Obviously, we've got some fit centre-backs again, so so maybe it it can be a little bit better.
00:13:09
Speaker
but i But I also, for me, it's very much one of those situations where we play fantastic against... the top teams, right? We always seem to put a performance in against City and Arsenal. Any team that's around us, not that I've ever really put Wolves around us at the beginning of the season, but any teams that are sort of around us, we just seem to let our guard down a little bit and then it becomes like a 4-5-0 and it's getting harrowing the amount of times that we've had four goals scored against us and again, with us maybe assuming because they don't have their danger man, it's going to be a bit of a safer game. that That's where i I worry and I don't know if they're to
00:13:43
Speaker
have the reaction for something that they haven't been able to expect. So maybe we'll get there. like Maybe I'll feel a little bit better. But I think like the maximum we can hope for at the moment, realistically, is a draw.
00:13:57
Speaker
that that And I know that's probably not what you want to hear from me. It's fair. I think um the cycle seems to be this season that we'll pull out a performance like the first 45 minutes against Liverpool. Like, oh, look, we're a team that can compete in the league.
00:14:12
Speaker
If only we could play like this for 90 minutes against any other team at any point. And then we end up going and getting beaten 3-1. So this is definitely on the cards.
00:14:23
Speaker
We speak a lot about form and about how like home grounds can be fortresses. With our home form, is is it just the opposite effect? like ah Do you think it's possible to enjoy playing at St Mary's at the moment?
00:14:38
Speaker
no Not for a while. like We have become such a self-deprecating fan base. Mate, that's about 50% of what our podcast is. Mainly because it's the only way we can deal with it. But i do i think that I've tried to say this before without criticising the fans necessarily. Because I don't think that if you're paying that much money to go week in, week out to see what you see...
00:14:58
Speaker
and to be able to pay extra money to drink at the new fancy bar or whatever, you're kind of entitled to be annoyed. But from like a playing perspective, it it has to be harrowing to have everyone not have any confidence in you.
00:15:13
Speaker
Admittedly, like you need to have performances to build that confidence. But it is one of those things that I think that if we go one nil down way, you will still hear lots lots of singing. They'll still be completely jeering up. I think if you're 1-0 down at home at the moment, and we all know what the outcome is going to be.
00:15:29
Speaker
And that's got to be a more hostile atmosphere to play in. So yeah it comes to sort of, but to be honest, Greg, like what, I don't even know if we have form. We can't, we haven't had a good enough string of results together back to back to claim we have any level of form. That's exactly what I mean. Our form is that 40-year performance.
00:15:47
Speaker
It's 15 minutes here and there where we can get happy. But again, it's those are the 15 minutes we need to look back on this season and celebrate. Similar to the last time we were relegated. Hmm. Chris have you seen much of Saints this season is there anything from us that worries might hurt you is a perfectly valid answer is he your main striker is it DeLapp is he out injured or suspended at the moment or am I imagining that oh I'm thinking of someone else I it's Ipswich DeLapp almost came to us that would have been wonderful transfer but we could not get that one over the line wrong pod no we don't have a striker
00:16:27
Speaker
That's what's playing as Is that the problem? that the problem? It's one of the problems. One of the problems. To be honest, yeah, i I don't, I've been so, you know, we're so focused on ah battening down the hatches ourselves right now and trying to just like get through this and maintain premiership survival that you do get a little bit kind of tunnel vision sometimes and you just don't necessarily look too far outside. So, you know, there there may be things I'm not expecting, but yeah I'm not, I think the main thing I'm scared of is, is say ah Whilst I said it's a silver lining that they need to kind of step up and they have a little bit against Everson as a team, I am worried that they've got too reliant on Kunia. I know that's turning it back in a little bit, but just that we have become very much a one-man show. If you look at most of our goals this season, I think it's over 40% have come from him.
00:17:16
Speaker
you know, pretty much all of them in our victories or draws, you know, most of other people, like Larson that we mentioned, scored seven goals. Not a single one of them has gained us. I think one of them gained a point, the draw against Tottenham.
00:17:27
Speaker
The rest of them are all in defeats. So we, it shows you, and you mentioned he couldn't, you scored two of them against you. It's it. We are very much that one man band. So whilst I'm hoping they continue to step up up as a team, I'm a little bit frightened of the fact that they're going to go away and be like, what do we do now?
00:17:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I get that. I understand that tunnel vision as well. It's much harder to motivate yourself to watch Match of the Day when you watch what we have to put with. Totally. And you're always on last as well, or somewhere like that, because like we get the one-one draw with Everson. It's like, yeah, we're going to be on we're gonna be on last.
00:18:01
Speaker
yeah Yeah, very much so. I don't know. Unless the only reason you're on one of us is on near the start is if like you say, you get trance four or five nil and then they put it on just so that the other team, they can talk about Liverpool for 10 minutes or whatever it is.
00:18:17
Speaker
You're like, great. good Thanks. Thanks guys. Yeah. No, that's a very familiar tale. That's my one hope of optimism, my one point of optimism, Greg, by the way, is that the reason I think we could draw out a draw is if Wolves struggle to score against us, I don't know if we will score this time round. like Our goal against Liverpool was the soft softest goal I've ever seen, right? It was 100% small bone capitalising on a mistake.
00:18:40
Speaker
that probably shouldn't have happened from both Alisson or Van Dijk. And that that is not something we're we're usually that good at and have been that good at this season. So, you know, if if we could just if we could just grind out not scoring and also not conceding, that's why, as I said for us, it's probably an optimistic outcome.
00:18:58
Speaker
And I know that it shouldn't be that harrowing, but honestly, Greg, it's hard to see... I don't know if being optimistic for a 0-0 is going to motivate my drive down to the area. I have told you before, Greg, if we get four or five games under our belt that are 0-0 draws and we get over the points tally, we're over the points tally of not being the worst Premier League team of all time.
00:19:16
Speaker
Whereas everybody else wants it to be fancy and a win by three goals. I remember that the amount times that you've you've been like, yeah, I think we're going to win by three or anything where they score more than two. And I'm like, we have struggled to score more than two in a game. Yeah.
00:19:29
Speaker
nearly every single game this season. it The idea that we're going to score three to win is wild. And I just, I struggle to see where we're where we're scoring goals from at the moment. I really am. Because we still, we're still not just not firing properly. Like once once we even get anything into attack, it kind of just peters out, right?
00:19:46
Speaker
Yeah. No, you're right. I think ah i think if you add up ah I know we don't give a lot of credit to XG as a stat, but I think if you add up our last four games, it almost equals one.
00:19:59
Speaker
ah like that's That's what I mean. And it's again, like there will be a episode at some point, maybe on an interview of our technical director and talking about sort of some of the problems we've got where...
00:20:14
Speaker
Yeah, when it comes to sort of the players at the moment, how many don't really want to be here? How many know they're off in the summer? How many know that they just need to get to the end of the run of 10 games? And I don't really know what is there to motivate them at the moment.
00:20:28
Speaker
and And that's kind of reflective... and has been reflective on the pitch, I think Anfield was a big opportunity for them to kind of put themselves in the shop window, be on the global stage. And I feel like it's going to be back to, you know, there's no disrespect to Wolves, but it's going to be back to sort of quote unquote reality, right?
00:20:45
Speaker
Where we're just going to have another home game where I can't see anything super exciting or out of the ordinary kicking into gear without anything hugely other than not being the worst Premier League team in the world to play for, which really upsets me because they should really want to fight to not be part of the worst Premier League team of all time.
00:21:04
Speaker
And it's baffling that they are. But it's difficult. but I feel like I'm just a bit of a broken man, Greg. I'm really sorry. yeah Should have had Oscar. I mean, how is Ramsdale doing for you guys? like Because obviously he's not he's not a fan. but mean The Wolves fans don't don't love him at all.
00:21:24
Speaker
So that's one that's one name. I'm like, yeah, we we if we put a few past him, I'll be happy, to be honest with you. I think he's been standout. I think it would been a lot worse without him. And the times that we haven't had him this season have been significantly worse, right?
00:21:39
Speaker
I will put that down to you a couple of the results that Russell Martin got were because Ramsdale was out injured at some points, right? and And him being out for as long as he was, him being in goal is significantly safer. Like we have, we have not been dropped six, seven nil simply because we've had him in goal. If not, it would have been a lot of our three, four, sort of four nil games have been like that, which again is a bit of a worry for what we're going to do next season. Cause obviously he's not going to stay.
00:22:05
Speaker
um I'd be very, very surprised if somehow we managed to retain him. Um, but he puts in... count would be as well I don't think that's the wage bill we want to keep in the championship. If I remember rightly, we broke a lot of our wage structure to bring him in and um and that's kind of problematic in itself but I think we like him as a guy. i think that he's done his best but you know there's only so many shots that he can stop when the defenders lay it slide past him. Yeah.
00:22:31
Speaker
yeah Okay, well we are rapidly running out of time so before I bother you both for some score predictions, a quick message from our partners at Zencaster.

As I said, like ideal and hopeful and something to actually build on on a performance that isn't isn't unrealistic, we're going to win like four or five goals, would, in my opinion, be a 0-0 draw.
00:23:22
Speaker
that is That is what I would like to see because I think that if we can prove that we can... We know we can't score at the moment, but if we can prove that we can actually keep a clean sheet with playing centre-backs in a centre-back position.
00:23:36
Speaker
that would That would show some semblance of progress. And, you know, Juric is already worried for his job at this point, and and he needs to show something that isn't just... you know, death by rigidity to your football tactics, which we've already had one manager disappear due to that this season.
00:23:54
Speaker
So yeah, it's nothing flashy. It's nothing exciting, but it is something that I think would show, show at least a semblance of progress towards, a better outcome for the season than what we have experienced currently.
00:24:09
Speaker
Okie doke. Everyone loving and looking forward to a nil-nil draw. Thank you. Pragmatic. ah Chris, how you feeling heading into the game? What what are you thinking?
00:24:20
Speaker
I mean, I touched on it a little bit. I'm thinking we we really need the three points. We want to push clear of the relegation zone. I think I would like to think that Vitor is going to send them out being look, right, we're just going to come out all guns blazing. That's what I'd like is in terms of, you know, we've had some tough games, but now we need to put...
00:24:36
Speaker
you know, put this to bed and get get out of this situation. This is a chance to really put it all behind us. So I'm going to, and also keep a clean sheet, keep that goal difference growing as well, which has been moving back in the right direction because that's an extra point in itself at this point in the season.
00:24:53
Speaker
So I'm going to go with, I'm afraid I'm going to go with 2-0 Winter Wolves because I also want the clean sheet and Agpadu's been outstanding. And I'm going to say, because I want them to get back to scoring form, Larson to get one and then maybe off the bench bench because I don't think he'll start Huang to get one as well. The two the two people who really need to be scoring if Kunyu's not going to be with us.
00:25:16
Speaker
think that sounds fairly reasonable. ah Thanks. Yeah, no, no, I respect it. Look, it's not going to come a surprise to any of our long-term listeners that I have come through the circle of optimism to the point in the week where I'm excited Saturday.
00:25:33
Speaker
I'm yet to predict a Saints loss this season. And it's not starting today. I think 2-1, because i think we're going to win, but i don't think we'll keep a clean sheet.
00:25:44
Speaker
ah Maybe I should just record myself playing that and hit play on that every week because it does feel like yeah the same line I've gone with. But no, I think that Matty Fernandes will pop up with a goal and Suleymane, why not?
00:26:02
Speaker
Larson as well. items The idea that you think we're going to score more than a goal... It's just just a level of optimism that I can't have, but I'm really glad you do.
00:26:15
Speaker
you One of us has to think, even if it's deludedly, that our team will do something good the rest of the I'm not saying that my borderline delusional optimism is hereditary, but ah my son has gone to every home game this season and still routinely predicts a 5-0 win. Wow. Wow.
00:26:33
Speaker
wow wow For the other team, yeah?
00:26:40
Speaker
yes Okay, well, ah that is just about all we've got time for today. Chris, ah thank you very much for joining us. I would say good luck with the rest of the season.
00:26:52
Speaker
suppose I could almost say that but you'd need not to for us to salvage ours, but actually, think that point's long gone. so But thank you for joining us. No worries. It's been fun. It's been fun. And hey, with the Immigrassus Sun and also because it's similar for some, you know, yeah i know we're just outside the Reliation Zone, but there's young fans this season I've met through friends and family. You know, that's their first season going to lots of games and they've witnessed nothing but lots of losses at home because, you know, ah but, you know, you raise them this way and they've come through the doom and gloom and then they've got all the highs to look forward to. It's character building. Exactly. Character building. That's where i was going with that.
00:27:28
Speaker
so It's going to get expensive when you need to take them to Wembley every other year for the next 10 years, mate.
00:27:37
Speaker
I would take it. ah with Thank you everyone for listening. Go and give the Daily Wolves a follow on all the socials and give them a listen.
