mixed bag of predictions as on here.

Do people know how I managed to beat Pompey Magnus at the battle of Pharsalus, actually how I routed him and destroyed his whole army?

The scene: Pompey has an army of 42,000. My legions on that day, around 21k amassed on that field in Greece.

Pompey's strategy was to rely on the fact that we'd tire quickly and be overcome by their superior numbers. That. Did. Not. Happen.

Outnumbered 2:1, the Caesarian legions destroyed Pompey's armies BECAUSE we were so battle hardened and his were not. Not tired. Battle hardened. Ready, willing, able, sharp.

Leicester have had run outs against S****horpe, Cheltenham, Cambridge, Stoke and Rotherham.

We're not tired. We're battle hardened. Ready. Sharp.

Leicester 0 - 2 Wolves. Jiminez x 2, assists from Marc Anthony on the eastern flank.

Score draw. But a chance of a later winner for either team. I'm gonna be optimistic and say 2-1 us with Cutrone to get a last minute winner off the bench.

I think we have enough quality to beat them but keeping my expectations in check!

 

[Southdownswolf]

A good pre-season, from China to Armenia, via N.Ireland. A nice flight back home last night, wired up to all the lastest gadgetry to ease any problems with the flying. No nagging from the Mrs' and no nappies to change, they'll be more chilled than if they were at home.

1-2 to the Wolves. Jota to twist and turn their defence and score, followed by Jota again twisting and turning then laying it on a plate for Jimenez to tap in.

 

[wwbug]

A draw or 7-0 to the lovely ones .

 

[Fifty Niner]

Think this may be a 2 or 3 nil loss. Tired legs and minds after yesterday's exertions and 6,000 miles of travel.

[Pessimistic Wolf]

Very tight game with fairly evenly matched teams. Whilst Wolves have played slightly more competitive football, I wouldn't say that it has been against significantly better sides than Leicester. We've played Newcastle, City, Crusaders x2 & Pyunik - Leicester have played Championship & League 1 sides. It probably evens out. Only real difference for pre-season is that we've just traveled 6000 miles, so I don't think we'll be any more match-fit than them.

I'll go with a score draw. Belter from Maddison & a classic turn & shoot from Jimenez.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

I think Leicester will score early try defend for whole game. Just before 90 mins Doherty to equalize on the 97th minute (When only 5 minutes added) Cutrone to score and become instant WWFC hero.

 

[IrchyWolf]

Heart 0-2 Jota and Jimenez
Head 1-1

 

[kennyB]

0-0

 

[Wswolf]

4-0 and jimenez and neves both getting long term injuries. Showing up how poor a window we have had.

 

[dmcmaho3]

2 -1 Jota to score a brace. I have opted for Jota in my dream team this year over Jiminez as I've got a feeling he's gnna score a bucket load this season

 

[SquaddieWolf]

4-0 and jimenez and neves both getting long term injuries. Showing up how poor a window we have had.

Ridiculous thing to say

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

They have absolutely nothing in central defence but have some great attacking players. Im going 2-1 wolves

 

[Puregold]

2-1 Wolves - Jota and Moutinho - Nuno, we move onto the next game.

 

[Deleted member 5910]

Tough one to predict. We're well ahead of them in match sharpness, but have had a tough round trip. They've lost the heartbeat of their defence but have a strong midfield (though I wouldn't say necessarily better than ours). Think I'm tempted to go 1-1 on this with the fence right up my backside. If we resoundingly win, I expect Rodgers to say, "I couldn't have asked for more from the lads" and for Nuno to say, "We must stay 'umble. Pyunik. Pyunik."

This was interesting:
What’s wrong with people? There team is basically the same as last year and we beat them 2-0 at home. No way would I be happy with a draw at home. Nice 4-2 win for me

The poster is correct, of course, and there may be a general opinion that we have not actually improved because of it. But the team that played them last year will hopefully be a lot better this year.

However, although we were very good Thursday, Leicester will be out of the traps and I think we will struggle early on in particular. We'll be stretched a lot more and given our 6000 round trip I can't see us getting anything from this game.

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

Leicester have lost Maguire, Rogers teams can't defend, we can defend = Wolves win, 2-1

How the long summer days must have flown by!

 

[PulverWolf]

Last year we went Leicester as newbies - played them off the park and lost 2-0 - This year - Wolves will win comfortably - go 1 up and defend comfortably for the rest of the match . First 20 mins Leicester will boss but not get a sniff on goal , last 15 we will be on par and score - second half were on easy street . 0-1 to the good guys

 

[binners]

I think people are overplaying the travelling. They weren't on EasyJet with 20" of leg room. They'll have been well looked after and the competitive 'pre-season' where we've swept all before us should make us ready to go. Plus we're better than them anyway, so I'll go
Leicester 1 Wolves 2 Jota, Neves

With you on this. I’m sure Nuno said in an interview that they had everything they need on the plane for rest etc even including the right food.

 

[Freeport wolf]

Tough game, I will go for a 2-2 draw.

Yep, we pretty much always start with a Desmond on the opening weekend of the league.

Jiménez and a Neves VAR penalty for us.

You've got to love the naive optimism of Football fans, ain't ya? We haven't conceded four goals in any game under Nuno, and only conceded 3 in four league games last season, but Leicester are gonna stick 4 down our throats, are they?

 

[Wulve5]

1-0 Leicester after our long trip.

I doubt they'll bang in 4 unless we they are all half asleep and we have a red card or two.

 

[KFord Original]

Strengthened from last year, full squad to pick from, Jimmy & Diogo looking sharp but they will get chances.
Wolves win 4-2

And yet their team that started their last pre-season game a week ago contained 10 players they had last season. Only changes were Maguire not being in it (Soyuncu came in at CB) and Perez starting.

Take away Maguire, add Perez, and they are all of a sudden better than our team of last season?

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

1-0 Wolves. Diogo 2nd half.

We’re in form, match fit and match sharp, and this time the occasion won’t get to us.

Interesting that there are Leicester fans on their forum saying their defence is now stronger for having lost £80m England centre half Maguire! Delusion masking a sense of dread, it seems. Jonny Evans and old man Wes Morgan at the heart of a Brendan Rodgers defence...

IIRC the Romans used to bugger their defeated enemies in order to humiliate them. It would make for some interesting post-match entertainment.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

We will score 3. This is the number of blooms on my Molineux rose. I'm afraid that I can't predict the Leicester score using this approach, but half a loaf is better than none.

You pathetic tool!

But a 6000 mile trip might..

 

[kennyB]

I don't rate Maguire as a big loss for them, over-rated, over-priced and over-paid. Still going for 0-0.

What a post. POTY contender

Maybe, but I personally don’t think it will - we trained on the flight and managed the game well. Up the Wolves.

LCFC 1 WWFC 2 say no more!

Draw

I've got a feeling we'll be draw specialists this season

Wouldn't be disappointed to draw at Leicester though
