Friday Jaytalking
More strong words from a Wolves player today as Jay Bothroyd has a pop at the attitude of some fans which saw one unnamed player's mother walk out of a recent game.
Michael Kightly had a go at the fans in the Birmingham Mail about a month ago - with his standing among supporters his words were listened to but Bothroyd, a target for the boo-boys himself, could be a different matter.
But at the end of the day why should he be?
A more enigmatic talent than the impressively direct and enthusiastic Kightly, just because Bothroyd's sometimes languid style gives the impression he doesn't care he clearly does.
At the start of the season he could have departed Molineux - Mick McCarthy almost nudged him out of the door - but he knuckled down to the task in hand and to a large degree turned his manager's opinion around.
The attitude of a certain section of Wolves supporters this season hasn't been great, and from talking to fans who sit in all areas of Molineux they would agree with that sentiment.
We live in an age where it is so much easier to moan and let off steam rather than do the opposite, but if only the atmosphere at Wolves home games could return to last season.
And why shouldn't it?
Yes Wolves haven't had as good a season as they - or those fans - were expecting but there is still a long way to go.
If the guilty parties could just perhaps digest one or two words of wisdom from Kightly and Bothroyd, and rally round to help create that special Molineux atmosphere, fans and players alike could still be singing from the same promotion hymn sheet come May.

Paul Berry - Mail man Paul Berry’s view of what’s going on at the Wolves
Fair play to Bothroyd for speaking out.
I'm sick of some of the so-called Wolves fans who just seem to want to go to games to moan.
How is that ever going to help the players?
If we get behind them like we did last year it could make a massive difference.
