Wolves v Everton comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

Sincere condolences to Mario and his family and friends on the passing of his father. You are much loved by the Wolves family Mario and we are all supporting you.

As for this afternoon's match, I suspect that this will be the most difficult of the three festive season games. We will have to be at our very best to secure the 3 points, but I think our boys will know that and will give it their best shot.

So COYW let's make it 3 wins on the trot!

Also, A very healthy and prosperous New Year to you all and thanks for the likes. It is good to feel appreciated!

As expected really. Bench looks good.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Pretty much everyone's choice?

I would have had Sarabia out for Traore or Bellegarde for a 3 man midfield. Lemina is a big loss and you need to win the midfield against a Dyche team.

 

[oldgolded]

Expected Traore to start rather than Doyle, but this is a good opportunity for him to show what he can do. Certainly more creative than Traore.

 

[Jack Russell]

Let's do it for Mario!!!

 

[WickedWolfie]

Expected Traore to start rather than Doyle, but this is a good opportunity for him to show what he can do. Certainly more creative than Traore.

Depends at least in part on how well Traore has recovered from 'the lurgy' l'm sure.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Fine with that team. If it wasn’t for his recent illness, probably would have gone with Traore for Lemina to combat their athleticism but Doyle has generally done ok when he’s played.

Fear we may struggle a little physically (especially aerially) today.

 

[wolfslair]

Great to see Doyle get the shirt, this is the kind of game where his range of passing could be really needed, as they will no doubt swarm and use physical power in the midfield to rush the ball carrier.

So sometimes to keep them honest, a bit more of a risky ball over the top for the likes of hwang, cunha, semedo (he does this better than most in the squad) and RAN to run onto.

This will be a real test for the lads today, but if they play with the intent and willingness to be more attacking of the last two performances, I can see us putting Everton to the sword in a tight but entertaining 1:0 or 2:1 to the good guys!

 

[SA Wolf]

I'd have gone with Traore, but what do I know! Everton without Doucoure and Gueye, so maybe not as physical as they can be. Onana still a big player for them and with 3/5 at the back, could be tough to break down, so that's maybe why GON has preferred Doyle.

Great minds or fools lol....

Bellegarde should be a useful sub later. Brings a bit of bit and experience.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Guessing that the second bit was meant to be pace....

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Am I right in thinking Mario missed 2 league matches because of suspension? Just trying to remember how we coped without him.

Bournemouth away we coped reasonably well, but Bournemouth weren't so good then and were down to 10 men for a large chunk of it.

Arsenal away in which we were totally swamped without him and Bellegarde and Traore were pretty awful defensively. We were missing Gomes for that game too though I think.

So all in all, think Doyle is the right replacement.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Maybe I meant bite

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Maybe I meant bite

Is this going to turn into a Wordle style quiz?!

 

[WickedWolfie]

Maybe I meant bite

Would be appropriate for a Wolf....

 

[WickedWolfie]

Is this going to turn into a Wordle style quiz?!

As long as it ain't in Welsh.... Way too many consonants....

 

[Wolf 82]

Gonna be a tough one today.. let’s get at them boys!!

 

[QB Wolf]

I would have gone Traore, but doesn't feel like a clear and obvious error, so happy to stick with the on bench decision!

 

[Jeru360]

Like that Doyle is given a start. Thinking Traore maybe not fit for 90. Expect to see Sasa late in the game.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

They are going to try and bully us nice we have Neto to bring on

First goal ever so important in this one for us again!! Early lead would be nice!!

 

[Rednal Wolf]

Expected Traore to start rather than Doyle, but this is a good opportunity for him to show what he can do. Certainly more creative than Traore.

He is but I'm concerned whether he has the physical presence that's needed against the Everton midfield .

 

[tonto]

Well a7-0 win will only see us equal on point goal difference and goals scored so we now need 8 to go above Chelsea
Come lads

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

He is but I'm concerned whether he has the physical presence that's needed against the Everton midfield .

That harrison always has a worldy performance against us also

 

[VancouverWolf]

3 in a row would be fantastic way to finish the year……



but I’d settle for a draw

 

[Wolf316]

Great to see Doyle get a start.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Had Hwang to score first!! Come on me BABBIES!!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I'm a bit nervous about this one, especially with Mario missing from midfield.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

Oh great!... Sue Smith covering the game, **** off Sky, you biased pricks!!!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

One of them days already

 

[WWFC4EVA]

One of them days already

How hard would it be to cover each game with a neutral?!!!

 

[luiandlui]

Great ball from Gomes. More impressive every week this lad

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Nice pace to the game from us. Physicality total miss match. We look ok so far.

Nice to hear the north bank in fine voice with their one chant per season

 

[Perton Wolf]

WTF is Hwang doing

Watch him score in a few mins anyway......but he has to get a shot off vs Pickford there. We had a 3v1.

 

[Erick1011]

Hwang trying too much. Just shoot! It’s Pickford after all

 

[wolfslair]

How have we ****ed that!!

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Come on Lads - why are you still nervy most games to hit in such a good position? Hwang should whack it and that is surely 1-0.

Decent start though.

 

[moseleyite]

Shoot, man, shoot!
