Wolves v Nottm. Forest comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

Well, this is arguably our best chance to pick up three points this season. Not that I expect Forest to sit back and let us walk all over them. They are fighting for survival as well, so we have to be better than them across the board. Having Neves back is a big plus so I hope that our lads will go for it big time.

The fans can get the Golden Palace rocking. So COYW go out and give them something to shout about!

[Fenrir_]

Surprised Semedo isn't starting but that's a good line up, no excuses

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Moutinho again. More crap free kicks and Forest will just run straight past him

 

[Willywolf]

How does Moutinho still manage to get a starting position

 

[Tojo the grass]

Looks about right to me

 

[waveney wolf]

Jonny has been awful..get semedo in

 

[Norway Wolves]

Like the line up except would have taken Moutinho out. Think it's enough now.

 

[JOSWolf]

Moutinho starts again. Why?

 

[Royal wolf]

Moutinho must have explicit photographs of 70% of the population. Stop playing him

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Maybe in his contract but I do agree with you WW!

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

I think I’ve spotted this week’s Scapegoat already

 

[Big Mack]

Like that line up bar Semedo for Jonny

 

[rg4352]

Moutinho again?! Ffs

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Would have gone Hwang for moutinho, but it will do.

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Like that line up bar Semedo for Jonny

Later maybe?

 

[Skrilla]

Semedo should be starting over Jonny, and Moutinho shouldn't be playing. I feel like I say this every week, tiring.

 

[A3wolf]

If he’s not injured Ronan must be pretty hacked off now if he wasn’t already. Never gets a chance.

Suspect Semedo may not be 100% as no reason Jonny should be starting before him on the right. Or maybe looking ahead to have him 100% for Zaha later this week.

 

[Norway Wolves]

I think I’ve spotted this week’s Scapegoat already

It's not scapegoating though is it?

If anything it's many people seeing and recognizing the same problem.

 

[Bostin]

Do we really need 3 midfielders against Forest at home?

Especially when 2 of them will just sit in front of the defence all game.

Let the pass from side to side tactics commence!

 

[sc91]

Moutinho. Lol.

If we didn't have to have the power off to clean this **** then I would be annoyed that I'll be sitting through watching him pretend the body is still what it once was.

Just what I am thinking

Thats the main problem. Moutinho and Neves are legends and brillant footballers, but they do slow our game down. Cant comprehend why we dont just play a Nunes/Neves midfield. Nunes covers plenty of ground, and its not like we add massive extra physicallity by playing Moutinho there. A 2 man midfield would enable us to play an extra man right behind (or next to ) Costa, rather than relying on Nunes to make the run every time.

 

[tonto]

A4-0 win and Villa loss by two goals we go above them done deal

 

[Adrian_Monk]

I'd have preferred Boubacar's energy tbh but what do I know

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

I'd have preferred Boubacar's energy tbh but what do I know

Let's hope the caretakers have less aversion to using substitutes effectively than Bruno was.

 

[Super Ted]

I'd have preferred Boubacar's energy tbh but what do I know

Maybe more than we think. Just checked the latest betting, you’re 16-1 to be our next manager.

 

[Evthewolf]

Like that line up bar Semedo for Jonny

I would have preferred Boubacar Traore, in place of Mout’s, too. We need some “legs” in midfield, buy a player who appears to have them and continue to play one who clearly doesn’t, these days. Pffff.

I just hope that when a new manager comes in, that he doesn’t continue to have “favourites” and actually picks the team on merit.

 

[Lichfieldroadwolf]

Moutinho must have explicit photographs of 70% of the population. Stop playing him

Or maybe qualified football coaches who see him day in day out know more than internet forum big time charlies

Tbf he was ill last week and is new to the team.

 

[Greeno]

Cue Moutinho rolling back the years today (hopefully!)

 

[SA Wolf]

Just watched Leicester Vs Palace - an absolutely dreadful match, but probably a better watch than ours. See that £27m Guedes can't force his way into a struggling side and we are forced to play a keeper with a broken wrist. Our squad depth is pitiful!
Can see a nervy match full of mistakes and whichever team makes the fewer mistakes may win.
Will watch, but not with any great enthusiasm. Thanks Shi!

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Lets get the season on track today, the table is very tight and top half is only a few points away

 

[clivewolves]

I would have preferred Semedo to start over Otto, but if turn up we should have a chance.

I wonder who will have a cold this week.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Set up do do nothing but wish for Adama to hit Costa on the head.

 

[DanishWolf]

I certainly dont buy into the conspiracy that Moutinho picks the team.
But its worth noting, that both Jonny and Moutinho (together with Kilman, Neves and Collins) were part of the leadership group summoned to give their inputs by Davis and Collins last Monday.
Obviously they dont pick the team, but it tells 2 things
1) We are lacking leaders, and as such taking 1 or both out of the team, weakens the leadership on the field further.
2) While they obviously dont pick the team, its a much harder decision for a caretaker boss to take to drop them, as they're at the same time relying on their inputs and leadership off the field during this time.
So I understand that Jonny and Moutinho are playing, from a leadership perspective. Not really from a sporting perspective.

It's often said it's harder to get dropped than selected.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

An absolute must win.

Biggest game in years.

 

[Royal wolf]

Or maybe qualified football coaches who see him day in day out know more than internet forum big time charlies

Or maybe he is a safe option and nobody has the balls to drop him. That or the contract stipulation

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

No, it's the usual suspects moaning their heads off before we've kicked an effing ball

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Moutinho must have explicit photographs of 70% of the population. Stop playing him

And still not as many photos as Jonny must have
