Exec Admits Difficult times

Last updated : 04 December 2009 By wolf306

Speaking in the E&S on thursday Moxey is reported to have said "Mick is too proud a manager to even raise the issue of all the injured players, but the facts are inescapable. Just look at the injuries we've had. Michael Kightly was one of our three best players last season and he's been out for virtually all the current campaign. "

"We lost Sylvan Ebanks-Blake after the first game of the season and he hasn't been back to where he would like to be. Kevin Foley was voted Supporters' Player of the Year last season, but he has missed virtually all the matches so far. Kevin Doyle started the season injured and Chris Iwelumo, our second top scorer from last season, has only played one game. "

"Coupled with one or two players perhaps not stepping up the plate as we expected, then it's easy to understand why we are where we are. We have consistently said that we'd have difficult times during our return to the Premier League - it's the best league in the world."

Moxey can use the excuse of the injuries but every club has injuries and they are not second from bottom of he Premier league. The fact of the matter is the quality of signing brought in the summer (Kevin Doyle apart) hasn't been good enough. Wolves next three Away games are against Spurs, Man Utd and Liverpool. Even the most die hard fan would say the points return from these games would be minimal. 

This makes the home games against Bolton and Burnley vital
