Burnley v Wolves comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

Burnley have been on a good run of form of late and tonight will not be easy. Both sides have key players missing but, if we can remain free of any more injuries, I think we can give Burnley a good run for their money and get something out of the match. The spirit, determination and enthusiasm shown by our players is, in the main, second to none.

So COYW do your best and come back with all three points - you know you can do it and so do we!

 

[jonesy]

All things considered a decent line up. Just not sure is Doherty playing as a cb?? Is it 4-4-2 ??

 

[Jack Russell]

Pretty much as expected. I suspect GON has a cunning plan!

 

[Matt]

Doherty centre back? As a striker in a 442? I’m a bit confused lol. COYW.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Doyle and Santi out, Doc and Hugo in. Hopefully that means Mario will start in midfield.

 

[Skrilla]

Not sure what formation that is!

Sa
Semedo Kilman Toti Bueno
Gomes Lemina
Doherty Sarabia RAN
Chiwome
​

or back three, with Semedo or Doc at CB?

Sa
Doherty Kilman Toti
Semedo Gomes Lemina Bueno
Sarabia RAN
Chiwome
​

Second team looks a lot better to me.

 

[Glow69]

Bit disappointed Santi has made way.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Designed to confused Burnley maybe!

 

[Rhoswolf]

No way should Doc be starting, fear for the worst.

 

[Wolf316]

Bit disappointed Santi has made way.

Surely he can’t be dropped to play Doc at CB?

 

[JOSWolf]

Disappointed Santi has been dropped and disappointed Boubacar isnt starting. Doc at centre back worries me. RAN and Sarabia must give good support to Chiwome.

 

[Bugsy911]

Odd lineup defence could be anything attack pretty much as bad as we've had.

Just arrived and can't say I'm confident.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Odd one but let's smash them! Big evening for Hugo, hope he smashes it.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Seems strange to have Doc in there unless hes playing CB
Surely Semedo and Hugo will be WBs with RAN given a free hand from midfield
Not sure i know anymore lol

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Designed to confused Burnley maybe!

Well it's confused me! Easily done though.

 

[Glow69]

Surely he can’t be dropped to play Doc at CB?

Hope not. Was the best out the three against Villa.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Weird selection. Cunha should be on from the start. Doyle did not deserve to be dropped.

 

[North West Wanderer]

4411

Sa
Doherty
Kilman
Toti
Bueno
Semedo
Lemina
Gines
RAN
sarahia
Chiwome

i think!

 

[Starsky]

Glad Hugo and Chiwome are in.

 

[Willywolf]

Not sure about this selection. Guess we’ll have to see how it plays out. We’ll get a good look at what the formation is supposed to be in the first few minutes I’d say. Like many, disappointed that Santi has made way when Kilman has been more culpable for bad defence recently, but hey ho - GON sees them every day.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Dark arts from GON

 

[Glow69]

Wouldn't be suprised if Doc will float then it forming a back 4 at times in possession

 

[Wolf316]

Dark arts from GON

I think he’s been on the Dark fruits!

 

[Skrilla]

Well I was thinking if Cunha's on the bench, we're going for damage mitigation until at least half time, but that's a very attacking side whichever way it ends up being. I can see it being a 3-4-3, similar to a cup formation we've played a couple of times with Doc at RCB. I think it's about as attacking a side we can play, minus Cunha.

 

[Bryce]

Designed to confused Burnley maybe!

****ing confused me

That is a legless sheep

 

[Matt]

Just went to put a tenner on Chiwome to score and he’s not even bloody listed on Sky Bet!

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Team full of full backs!

 

[Axle]

Bizarre

Is GON getting a rep as a timkerman?

Note that it’s only negative when it doesn’t work otherwise it’s known as tactical ingenuity

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Well if this works its back to GON the master tactician
If we lose its blame Fosun

 

[Barnet Wolves]

Although GON doesn't do traditional formations I doubt he's confident enought to start with a back 2. Yet.

Doc could fold into a back 3 and then move into a full back and/or wing back role.

 

[Monketron]

Don't think he has much choice really, got to somehow provide a threat going forward without leaving us totally exposed and we have no attackers !

 

[SA Wolf]

Strange selection!

 

[Jack Russell]

 

[Bigcheese]

I can't see what Doc does that Bueno doesn't at the back, I thought Bueno had been doing ok, Doc doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

[Bill McCai]

Not a good sign for S Bueno if Doc is seen as a better choice at centre back!

 

[Minimalist]

Team full of full backs!

Can almost count Toti as a fullback…. That would make 5!

 

[Ches78]

Doesn't make any sense dropping S Bueno for Doc and playing 3 at the back - i thought Bueno has looked OK and certainly no worse than Kilman. Perhaps he's got a slight knock or we're playing 4 at the back? Bit odd, but like others have said hopefully Lemina is back in middle...

 

[Minimalist]

Not a good sign for S Bueno if Doc is seen as a better choice at centre back!

I think it is either a back 4. Or S,Bueno has a knock.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Wasnt confident before the lineup, certainly not now.

 

[Clipboard]

I think it is either a back 4. Or S,Bueno has a knock.

Yes it's one of those hybrid lop-sided back 3/4/5 things.
