Wolves v Man City: Comms Thread.

[astraltrader]

Hi one and all.
Just to repeat until Jack Russell returns on the 8th of October I promised to start the thread again.
Incredibly that makes it now three draws on the trot for the last three games I have started!
I would be quite happy for this mini-record to continue with this afternoons match against Citeh although I would obviously prefer us to win.
Apologies yet again for me not being able to cover the game as I have to take Mrs Astral and our 8 month old ****apoo [Kevin] to a pre-arranged visit.
Anyhoo I ask that one of our regulars "pick up the baton" from me!
So that just leaves me to say...
COYW!!!

 

[astraltrader]

Just to add that at the time of posting this our team has not yet been confirmed!

 

[StaffordWolf]

Back 5 with Toti added. Hugo Bueno not even on the bench, is he injured? Cunha as center forward.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Another terrible selection

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Fairly inevitable that he would eventually revert to a back three.

 

[The Clock]

Another terrible selection

Seems largely predictable.
Not much choice is there.
Assume Sasa still not fit

 

[Willywolf]

Haaland hatrick in 30 minutes? Scary how much pace, power and talent is in that city line up

 

[SmiffyWolf]

God help us

 

[goldfish]

Another terrible selection

I'm not really sure who put themselves forward in losing to Ipswich reserves in midweek tbh.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Another terrible selection

Is it so bad that no one has posted what it is yet?

[The Clock]

Five at the back, pace in attack.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Five at the back, pace in attack.

Five at the back, impotent attack.

 

[Skrilla]

The exact team I would have picked, can't really knock it. Pace going forward, can we frustrate them and not gift them an early goal like we did last year.

Better off Neto playing on the right so he's not against Walker?

 

[Sedgers]

Every time I see Semedo at right wing back and Cunha up top, I die a little.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Who’s kidding whom, it’s a 9-1-1 formation.

HELP

It’s about the best of a bad lot.
Our best chance here genuinely depends on Nunes characteristically gifting possession in the middle without the safety blanket of Rodri, but then us actually doing something with it.

 

[Barnet Wolves]

not ready to listen to GON's ongoing laundry list of excuses why he can't compete at this level through no fault of his own

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Another terrible selection

Given the players we have why is this a terrible selection especially against the Mancs.

Sadly though most of our team are Walkers.

Fixes it for you above.

Cunha can’t play up front on his own.

 

[Mugwump]

Cunha can’t play up front on his own.

He isnt, he's supported by Hwang and Neto

 

[waveney wolf]

Another terrible selection

Really?? What's wrong with that?

 

[Sedgers]

Cunha can’t play up front on his own.

And Semedo is inferior to Doc playing as a wing back.

 

[Aimless Balls]

So Hugo isn’t fit? Doyle gets to avoid the massacre.

 

[rg4352]

Interested to hear about the reception to Nunes from the ones able to watch if anyone can let me know!

 

[sillytuna]

A last minute emergency vet trip meant I have to stay put anyway so of course we'll now win 1-0.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Tbf, this is one of the two games (other being Man City away) in which I feel selection and tactics don't matter too much! Man City are in a different planet.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Who’s kidding whom, it’s a 9-1-1 formation.

HELP

12 men? Or no keeper?

 

[tamwolf]

Worry here is that we crumble when put under pressure. This line up has the potential to see us camp out on the edge of our 18 yard box with 7 defensive players. There is potential for it to get incredibly messy if we concede early.

 

[Aimless Balls]

12 men? Or no keeper?

Counting the keeper. They’re all on the back line.

 

[SA Wolf]

12 men? Or no keeper?

Preferably the former.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

Looks like an attack which, on the counter, could get crosses into the box from either side, where they will find no one to meet them.

 

[oldgoldheart]

when you see villa banging in 5 against brighton and think back to mind the gap. oh my God i wish we had their owners

GON said about playing deep and attacking them on the counter. We'll certainly play deep but I can't see us keeping the ball long enough to counter them tbh. I suppose a long punt upfield for Neto to chase could be classed as a counter?

 

[Skrilla]

I think we'll get a few chances, just need to keep them quiet early on. Whether we actually take our chances, well, that's the entire conundrum isn't it.

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

I'm looking out for individual performances today, rather than any hope of getting a result.

If Neto keeps up his recent form, Max has an assured game, Sasa and Fabio get some minutes and Ait Nouri and Semedo aren't embarrassed by the tricky Doku, I'll consider it a success, regardless of the result.

Expecting Mattheus to have a good game, and Haaland to be largely anonymous but end up with multiple goals. Dawson to step up to the plate to kick Grealish late on, seeing as our last Grealish kicker has been moved on to Brentford.

There’s someone to meet them, Cunha.
Convert? Not so much.
