Newcastle v Wolves comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

A special mention for Manny. I hope he got there ok.

Having relatives in Newcastle, I have been to that St James Park on several occasions over the years, but have never seen Wolves play there. My enduring memory is of how big it is. I have also been a fair few times to the other SJP in Exeter which is a bit smaller to say the least!

A frequently occurring scoreline between the Wolves and Newcastle is 1-1. I would be happy with that this afternoon, but even happier with a win (shades of Bully).

So COYW give our chances of European football a big boost with a win this afternoon. We are all behind you and we are all very proud of you!

 

[Bill McCai]

Think Joao Gomes will be a miss for us.

 

[Jawwfc]

Gomes injured?

 

[Jack Russell]

I'm very happy with that as a starting XI.

[Hazza]

Thanks for line up as always, have you been to the 3rd St James Park, home of Brackley Town?

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Accumulating hamstring injuries…

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

That bench is embarrassing.

 

[SuperGran]

Gomes - hamstring?

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Gomes was limping at the end of the game but i think its just a precaution
Not a bad side but doubt we will get much from this one

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

3 forwards all out with hamstrings - great.

 

[oldgold4ever]

Bench looks thin today. Amazing to think GON has us 8th with this brilliant but small squad.

 

[Skrilla]

Gomes, Cunha, Hwang all out with hamstring problems now! Not the worst problem to have, but it's going to make the next couple of weeks until the international break quite tough.

A point would be massive today under the circumstances.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Bueno can feel unlucky to be dropped.

 

[Contrarian]

Think Joao Gomes will be a miss for us.

Surprised Traore isn't in to replace him.

 

[Wolf316]

Gomes will be a huge miss. Wonder if we’ll get to see little lemina today?

 

[djmikeydickens]

Hopefully no injuries today! Day for sitting back and counter attack

 

[Wolf316]

Bueno can feel unlucky to be dropped.

Deserved to stay in imo.

 

[SuperGran]

15 yr old on the bench

 

[Glow69]

Boubacar needs to step up abit now. Make a contribution because our midfield is clocking some miles up now.

 

[UEAwolf]

Did Gomes travel? Wonder if it was a late decision if Okoduwa is on the bench.

 

[JOSWolf]

What a day for Wes Okoduwa. Serious talent though.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Good team for us. Gomes probably fine picking up Lemina he pulled his back? Haha

Big day for Wes Okoduwa only 16 (right back)

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Very thin on the ground now, Newcastle have a very strong team & bench, not looking forward to this

 

[SuperGran]

Good team for us. Gomes probably fine picking up Lemina he pulled his back? Haha

Big day for Wes Okoduwa only 16 (right back)

He’s 15

Accumulating hamstring injuries…

Bloody epidemic.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

He’s 15

What’s the legality of these things can you pick someone who is 14 for example? Crazy

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Thought he may have taken Chiwome

 

[JonahWolf]

Boubacar needs to step up abit now. Make a contribution because our midfield is clocking some miles up now.

He was getting right stuck in when came on in the cup. Might still be a little raw, but he certainly has that similar battling spirit to Gomes.

 

[Rowzed]

Six of our bench have fewer than 5 PL starts between them and injury plagued Newcastle name a bench with Lascelles, Livramento, Barnes and Almiron, someone must be doing something right for us to be above them in the league.

Let’s hope we are further above them tonight

 

[Supadavewolf]

England U16 international, Wes will be 16 in May.

"Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Wesley Okoduwa, son of retired Nigeria international striker Emmanuel Okoduwa, was part of the England U16 squad that won the prestigious Val de Marne Tournament in Paris, France last week." (Nov 23)

Great experience for him to witness things from the first team bench. Well done, Wes!

 

[Wolf316]

Bloody epidemic.

Seems that most teams are suffering with them this season.

 

[Glow69]

He was getting right stuck in when came on in the cup. Might still be a little raw, but he certainly has that similar battling spirit to Gomes.

Hopefully he can have a spell like Doyle did over the lemina absence christmas time.

 

[SuperGran]

Good q I don’t know the answer

 

[Jack Russell]

Thanks for line up as always, have you been to the 3rd St James Park, home of Brackley Town?

'fraid not my friend.

 

[Jack Russell]

That bench is embarrassing.

Why? What are they doing?

 

[Rednal Wolf]

Bueno can feel unlucky to be dropped.

Did ok v Brightons second string but yiu need Dawson in today .

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Hopefully we see a 15 minute cameo from Noha when we're 3-0 up with 10 to go.

Wesley could become only the 2nd ever 15 year old to play a Premier League game if he gets any minutes.

 

[A3wolf]

Think it’s legal but I think I’m right in saying he can’t change in the same dressing room as the others.
