  24. Derby could prove an outsize part in Wolves' season

    Two silver linings for their fans were identified when Wolves were relegated from the Premier League.

    No longer being exposed to VAR, obviously, was viewed as a release. The other was the return of the Black Country derby.

    That framing has been just fine until now, with the day close at hand, a more nuanced picture is clear.

    The derby will be a great addition to Wolves' calendar, indeed may play an outsize part in their season by giving them a huge injection of positive energy, if they win.

    The unspoken part is that the inverse is also true. For some years Wolves have been able to look down from the Premier League at Albion. Losing to them now they are back on the same level would make the loss of that status even harder to accept.

    This week I am reminded of a much-loved figure among local football media, as this will be the first Molineux derby with fans present in decades for which, alas, he will not be with us.

    He could have been gently teased by the mere premise of this article, since he would take issue with exactly where the Black Country even is: "we are not," he might insist with a glinting eye, "from the same place as 'Them'."

    But they are in practice, all the towns and cities of the West Midlands having long ago expanded enough to bump against one another.

    Sometimes it can be hard to tell when you have left one district and entered the next. The dividing lines in the region can appear blurred. But not on Sunday.

  25. Wolves appoint Walker to under-21s role

    Wolverhampton Wanderers have named Richard Walker as their new under-21s coach.

    The 44-year-old moves up from a similar role with the club's under-18s to replace James Collins, who left Molineux in July.

    Walker has been at Wolves for three years after joining from Stoke City in 2023.

    As a player, he made more than 100 appearances for Crewe and also spent time with their rivals, Port Vale.

    "We feel Richard possesses the right skills and experience to take us forward in the under-21s environment, which is critical in really finishing the players off before those final stages of playing the game professionally," said Wolves academy director Jonathan Hunter-Barrett.
