Sheffield United v Wolves comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

I think that most Wolves fans are extremely wary of games like this. We may be expected to win, but that is not a god-given right. We will have to work hard for the required result. I have seriously warmed to GON and I hope and pray that he has another great plan for this one. Anything other than a win swill be a big disappointment.

So COYW have a field day and do yourselves and us proud!

 

[Tojo the grass]

Interesting

 

[Jack Russell]

No surprises there. That looks good to me!

 

[Bostin]

I like that team, I like it a lot.

Wonder if he’s matching them up 4-4-2 with RAN left wing?

 

[waveney wolf]

Probably intending to play higher up the pitch

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Very attacking!!

Apparently Sheff Utd are playing a back three/five.

 

[Glow69]

Good line up.

Happy to see Doyle getting rewarded.

 

[Bostin]

Ah ok, cheers.

2 up top for them though, so 5-3-2

 

[Aimless Balls]

Don’t like it but we should be able to get away with it. Curious to see what plan A will be, like what’s the buildup/move/pattern with Sasa up front that we think will lead to opportunities. Mostly Sasa’s been coming on when plans are out the window.

 

[Willywolf]

Like the look of it. Certainly aggressive with attacking intent. Good to see Sasa and Doyle earning a start.

 

[Nige100]

I like the look of that.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Sasa to score Doyle assist

Not sure what else we can do with a system that's working to our advantage? A player inform has come into start and a striker is leading the line?

Exactly, we have a very strong bench too

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

Sasa is a 20 minute man, that’s my only fear

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

Midfield will be congested. I can see both teams blanking each other out. Set piece goal could decide this.

The attacking system was Pedro. It’s going to be vastly different because the players involved are vastly different, no matter the formation. We’re not sticking to any attacking system because we can’t. I want to see how we use Sasa for 60+ minutes as part of a bespoke plan.

 

[brianm]

Sasa is a 20 minute man, that’s my only fear

He should have 55-60 minutes in him. With five subs, that's okay.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Interesting……..starting Sasa.
Hopefully Semedo can get some decent crosses into for Sasa. Maybe their defenders will pay too much attention to Sasa and leave a few gaps for Cunha and Hwang to exploit.

 

[Minimalist]

Will be interesting to see Cunha play the Neto role, I think it’ll suit him.

Our 2 midfielders against their 3 could be an issue.

 

[Shergar]

He should have 55-60 minutes in him. With five subs, that's okay.

Yep. And wait til we bring our no.9 off the bench, the Blunts wont know what hit them.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Toti is our big ****** at the back warnock told them to pick up years ago!! (Lescott) 3-3 game

 

[QB Wolf]

Feels like a good team selection to me, I’d probably have gone for Gomes over Doyle, but think Doyle deserves his chance.

Again would have preferred Bellegard maybe for the pace, but he may not be 100%.

However can see the logic in the selection and that’ll do me.

 

[djmikeydickens]

Probably the strongest side we could put out. Be good to see what Doyle can offer as a starter. Come on boys!

 

[Greeno]

Doyle was ALWAYS start at Sheff Utd wasn’t he?

 

[wolfslair]

Sasa will love the quality of set pieces from Doyle!

His link play will allow hwang and cunha to run off him and into space.

Really happy with this line up

Gold shorts

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

My only concern is that it will be a pudding of a pitch after 30 minutes or so and Sasa isnt the best suited to those conditions
Lets hope he doesnt get a pull with so little game time so far

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Wolves are the second most backed team after Man City today.

So, a Blades win incoming.

 

[Willywolf]

Tbf, although it has rained heavily this morning, it was quite a nice day here yesterday, and only light rain on Thursday. So the pitch may hold up reasonably well - although it’ll be quite greasy.

Brings a tear to the eye, ain't nothing better than a full gold kit

Pudding pitches are a thing of the past now mate. It ain't the 70s anymore, especially with modern technology and pitch development

hoping for an honest ref...

Chance would be a fine thing…..

More likely to find a unicorn…..

All Gold!!!! Absolutely love it.

 

[Erick1011]

Come on Wanderers!!!

 

[Aimless Balls]

You can just switch out the shorts whenever?
