Wolves (H) Pre-Match

[Lambert09]

I need a defender in my fantasy draft league and ours are probably the only viable options to pick from but the uncertainty is making this a real roulettes pick. the only nailed on player (tim) has already been taken. 

 

Really haven’t got a clue who’s starting at cb  and vk doesn’t seem safe either.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's in around the Quorn area, with the likes of Tielemans living there currently and Inler too in the past.

Wonder if any of them go to Quorn car boot

A repeat of his performance in 2019 please. He was basically the reason we got anything.

Kristiansen up against Traore please, its the sort of battle he thrives on.

It's the sort of battle wet dreams are made of.

Has anyone yet mentioned this is a MUST WIN game???

Bertrand at left back would be absolutely hilarious. Imagine if he comes in and smashes it for 7 games. All forgiven?

I’d guess Soy? But aye it’s not 100%.

So long since he’s played I genuinely can’t remember whether he was lamentable on the pitch or he’s getting pelters for contributing nothing and coining it

Wolves have 3 wins out of the last 6, and are unbeaten in 3. They beat Chelsea and Bentford without conceeding in the last two games, and had a 1-1 draw against Forest. We have lost 9 out of our last 10 matches, and the 10th was a draw vs Brentford. Wolves don't score many, but generally get at least 1 goal per game.

 

On the form books, Wolves win in a game with no more than 3 goals.

 

We need to hope that Deano can find at least 2 goals from our misfiring attack, and help one of the worst defences in the league from conceding any more than one goal, and ideally none. I don't imagine it will be a open match. It 100% comes down to whether the new manager bounce is enough to grind out a 2-1 win against a relatively in-form Wolves team who still haven't escaped the threat of relegation themselves.

 

 

I was talking to a Wolves season ticket holder earlier this week.  He says that with the way they are playing at the moment, and the way we are playing, they should wipe the floor with us.

Any clubs below 10th are extremely hit and miss…..

 

People seem to forget that we went on a sequential winning streak prior to the World Cup.
 

Unless you’re one of the top 6 teams nothing is certain.
 

This team has quality in it, but we’ve long forgotten about it thanks to our former manager. On our day we’re more than capable of taking any team outside the top 6 apart. That’s what Smith needs to tap into.

It doesn’t matter what they say , but it wouldn’t surprise me if Smith thought this too 

I fear that too, based on his post match comments last Saturday. 

[Stevosevic]

I’m nervous already

[teblin]

I’m in bits, in the morning my lad is one win away from a final, a team that I manage. And then we both have this in the afternoon. 

[SK3Blue]

Going for a draw with this one, both sides are 100% turd and will cancel each other out, 0-0.

I'm not sure it is. But we definitely can't afford to lose or draw

He played in one of the europa league home games (think it was spartak Moscow) and he was dreadful. Couldn't even run. I remember him having the ball in the oppositions half and he ended up just kicking the ball out for a goal kick. He was absolutely useless.

I wouldn't blame anybody for thinking they could beat us based on our recent form. We've been horrendous.

 

However, we have the players to get out of it and we've shown a couple of times this season that we can put runs together. It's notable that our previous two bounces this season have come after new arrivals - first after Faes/Knudsen, and second after Souttar/Kristiansen/Tete. The squad seems to respond well to new blood being brought in. Will Smith/Shakespeare/Terry bring enough of a bounce to keep us in the division? We'll find out soon enough, but at the very least I'm expecting us to give Wolves a much tougher game than we would have done just a few weeks ago.

They are definitely turd if we hit 4 away from home against them, yes they've improved but they are still dire and nowhere near the levels they reached under Nuno. 

[HeskeyForever]

If we perform like we did in the second half against Man City then I can see us winning. 

 

The next week will essentially determine whether we stay in the division or not. I think most fans have made peace with the idea of relegation after a truly dreadful season, but a win against Wolves might just be the catapult we need to pick up enough points to survive. Whatever happens, our failures this season need to serve as a crucial learning experience for the club's management - spot an apple when it's rotting and throw it out.

 

Seeing Smith and Co revitalise the energy around training and the club overall is great, even if it's come too late in the season. But the sad truth is that the fans knew all along that this group of players have togetherness and are capable of competing with the best. 7 games is still 21 points - I'm glad we've got a little bit of hope left to cling on to...

You think we're going to keep a clean sheet

Wolves have came a long way while we took a freefall.

They got 4 put past them by ****ing Leeds the other week, and drew 1-1 with Forest. They're in better form than us, but we shouldn't be scared of them, especially at home.
