Despite the major intruption, as a result of such a scary and invesible killer: it in my view, has been more steps in the right direction - across all embers of the club; both on and off the surface. 

For starters, securing another top 7 finish - making it our best consecutive League finishes since 1960, pulling off our highest points total since 1980 in 59 points and having the least number of defeats - since our last title win in 1958-59 of just 9 blanks points wise, automatically puts Nuno Espirito Santo and his side into the good books.

Having also this season, beared witness of claiming the double over the Champions in Manchester City, for the 1st time in who knows how long, alongside the most memorable wins against Torino to help secure the UEL Group Stage spot, Beskitas twice (the 2nd one, which gave me a small cheer on General Election night!) in the Group Stage and Espanyol at home in the Last 32 - on top of League triumphs against Villa at Molineux, Bournemouth at the Vitality, Southampton at St Mary's and Tottenham Hotspur at Spurs £1 Billion stadium: will forever live in the memory box due to the sheer quality and fight on display.

Draws must also be referred to, with there 14 in the top flight this term! Standouts have to be Manchester United at Molineux, thanks to Ruben Neves strike of art, Arsenal at the Emirates, the crazy 1st half against Brighton and Hove Albion at the AMEX and Burnley at Turf Moor, as a result of Raul Jiminez's sheer magic on prime-time. The 3-3 against Braga in the Europa League, which saw more than 6000 members of the Wolfpack make the trip to Portugal, most certainly also gets a mention, due to a 1st half which blew many away!

Seeing too that our Mexican superstar, bagged 26 in our 57 fixtures demonstrates how we are able to pull in, the kind of quality and magic we have been long for. Adama's breakthrough season, can't go without a miss neither knowing his valuable contribution he has made right from the off and the consistency of folk donning The Old Gold and Black; particuarly Mr's Moutinho, Coady, Neves, Boly, Denonker and Patricio, is a big part of the success. Also our signatures of Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto, have been very well justifed - thanks to the excellent way there play, has blended into Nuno's style and brand of football.

Such memories to live through, do feel a little tainted through moments which demonstrate the sheer inability of those at the top - to effectively undertake such duties as required. Video Assistant Referee's implementation was always going to be controversial, but the lonny level it has resulted in negativity towards us, has without doubt shattered confidence and affected on play and results. 

The outrageous number of points lost, due to the total incompetance of using a much needed system, has ultimately cost the club, the city and the West Midlands; in the region of an additional £200 Million. The two decisions against Leicester City in both games, Liverpool at Anfield, and Burnley at Turf Moor - in the most inexcusable of decisions; quite probably ever made in Premier League history, has strengthened the view of the system being used, all for the benefit for "The Big Six."

The HQ of The Premier League at The Brunel Building, will have surely feared the economic impact being major, if the likes of Wolves, Leicester City and Sheffield United had succeeded in reaching the Champions League and one genuinely presumes, that Richard Masters and co instructed officals, to protect those who gather the most money. The sickening nature, of such measures seriously being taken, clearly shows the legitimate need: for the wholesale reform of The Football Association, The Premier League and Professional Games Match Officals Limited, with the way in which affairs have been occurred and the knocking of the door - of a new batch of clubs wanting to reshape the order of English Football.

Of course, one would be foolish not to acknowlege the fair number where the boys simply didn't show up, went to deep late on or simply played for a draw - all of which bit us up the backside. 6 Points were lost from points winning positions, against Brighton away, Liverpool at home,  Sheffield United away and Burnley away (the last one in extraordinary circumstances); along with us not proving ourselves in the opening 6 games with no wins, by playing much too deep within a fair few fixtures (see the draws and losses list for understanding) and Nuno's nature of being conservative - in changing the team to reflect players form, adjusting the formation for lineups and even using subs during games.

These are things which have very much been the case, within these two seasons and probably will continue to occur next season, as the gaffer's style is his choice. But for progression and smashing the elite, a more radical thought of a boss would be welcome, within the areas referred to, along with stronger squad depth and that IMO means another 3/4 signings (at Centre-Back, Right Wing-Back, Attacking Midfield and Striker) in the window between now and October 5th.

Some understandably consider missing out on 3rd place, by just 7 points as Wolves "bottling it", whilst others see the bad luck and stupidness of officials as the key. I see both elements being creeping in, through expectation getting to the boys sometimes, which thus has meant negative play, coupled with qualifed referees simply not doing there job. 

It does feel a little deflating, that such a combination of those dropped 6 points in the mentioned 4 games, plus 7 points being lost through VAR decisions in another 4 fixtures, meant being 13 points away from where we ought to have been. 72 Points would have meant 3rd place - a position no doubt deemed out of reach come kick-off against Everton on August 11th 2018!

But, it again reflects the huge strides made by this giant - now back awake following many years of hibernating - further relfected by what COULD still certainly be. The Europa League run has been marvellous and with the 2nd Leg of the Last 16 on Thursday, a free hit if you like appears, for the lads to attempt something out of the ordinary.

The Final Eight competition in Germany, I think has the possibility of suiting us much better - knowing of the unpredictability of winner takes it all games, our massive fight against the more bigger sides before us and naturally, the opportunity of lifting the biggest (both in weight and club terms) trophy in Wolves history. A European title - in just our 2nd season back in the top flight, would define of what can be done - when good, attractive and fun football is played and write heroes into immortality.

Knowing too, that there has been an average attendance of a whopping 31,360 at Molineux; again the highest since the 1980's, the Club's incredible involvement, in ensuring we as humans stay safe during COVID-19 with Fosun providing millions of equipment across the globe - much of which has come for benefit of the heroes at New Cross Hospital and Wolverhampton NHS Trust and being named just this week, in Brand Finance Football's Top 50 powerful club brands, at Number 19, proves the only way Wanderers are heading and that towards the top of the mountain.
