Everton (H) Pre-Match Thread!

[JadeWolf]

IT’S MAAAAAAATCHDAAAAAAYYYYYY!!

Here we go again. The last league game at Molineux of the season. Been a strange old season (bit like most really), some highs a lot of lows and overall you can’t get away from the fact it’s been a disappointing season.

If last weeks game is anything to go by, I’m not optimistic. A lot of players looked like their minds were already on their holidays, next season and their next club. Everton are coming here today knowing a win probably keeps them up and avoids any last day drama, so we know what’s at stake for them.

For us, I think today comes down to pride. Some of the players will be wearing old gold at Molineux for the last time, so you’d hope they don’t want to sign off with a loss against a poor team. One or two might have something to prove to the manager ahead of next season, and obviously the players can be proud of their recent home form so it would be nice to keep that going and be able to carry it to next season.

As I mentioned, it could potentially be a final home game for a number of players today. Whatever you think of their current ability level or their contribution this season, a lot of them have been part of a brilliant journey and I hope they get the send off from the crowd they deserve.

It’s not easy to predict the line-up today. Julen was very shy in his press conference, not saying who was in goal, saying someone is injured but not saying who. And then you’ve got the fact that he said he wants to give other players more minutes. Could we see Boubacar Traore? Lembikisa? Hodge? Collins? Jimenez start? Moutinho start? Who knows.

Whether you’re following from Wolverhampton, across the Black Country or across the world, enjoy the game and let’s get those three points lads!

COYW!

It’s going to be emotional

 

[Macman]

With us being safe, I Just hope we dont give Everton a free ticket to stay up.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Would love to see Ruben or Raul score today. Really hope these guys get the send off they deserve, and not like the sad way Nuno had to goodbye.

End of, probably the greatest, Wolves era of my lifetime. Let’s end it on a high.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

It could be the last time some of these players wear the gold and black. Let’s hope they give a performance to savour, then the fans can bid them a fond farewell.

 

[Golden Arrow]

Feeling good about this one, just heard "Wooly Bully" played on the radio.

Maybe its a strikers day.......................Raul..................?

 

[lets all have a disco]

Been dreading this day for a few weeks....and it wasn't relagation fears ....

End of an era ....and it gonna be very emotional...I'm welling up already....

Finish with AN emphatic win please LADS!!
SEND EVERTON DOWN!!!

 

[Southdownswolf]

It's the end of an era, but the beginning of a new one. Many players deserve a fantastic send off today for all they've done over the last few years. However, I'm looking forward to the new improved "Lopetegui Era"
**** Everton.
WE ARE WOLVES!

 

[Evthewolf]

I have a feeling that Everton will start like men possessed, as they did at Brighton. Looking for that early momentum and a goal to silence the crowd.

Unless we are up for it, the game could be over relatively quickly. Weather the storm and we will hopefully be okay.

I really wanted Everton gone but of the teams left in the scrap, they have the easier games on paper and I don’t see them losing both, unfortunately.

 

[Urko]

Hope we can send the bin dippers that bit nearer to the trapdoor.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Leaving now. Looking forward to saying goodbye to some legends. Hope we can send them away from Molineux with a win. Good to be going to a game relatively stress free. Safe journey everyone.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

We get to say goodbye to some of the best players we’ve seen in our recent history as we prepare for a new era this summer.

And, if we lose, we’ll have annoyed both Forest and Leeds fans.

Not bad.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Who’s going to wait for a Ruben autograph after the game lol

 

[Sedgers]

Dyche has had our number since we won promotion. I don't see much changing tbh.

Good job we've changed our number!

Not really that fussed about beating Everton as such, just that we really need to put in a performance worthy of our departing heroes. It's going to feel a bit flat at the end if we haven't turned up for the game. Not sure it's ever going to be possible to bond with a set of players like we have with some of these, not without going through some more bad times I can do without!

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

This game has a draw written all over it
We are normally decent at home and have nothing but pride to play for, Everton are fighting for their lives and have some decent results recently
They will start fast and we have to weather the storm and play ourselves into the game
It will be an emotional game for some im sure and hope the occasion doesnt get to the team
1-1 for me

A view from the other side - pretty balanced.

[JohnB]

Tell you what, going to need some new songs next season - Raul, Neves and Moutinho likely going. Last outing and expecting some noise.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Calvert-Lewin fit to play unfortunately.

 

[Fenrir_]

I really, really want us to beat them, I don't want these ****ers to be safe after this weekend

But

In light of the day and what it means to us, I wouldn't be disappointed if we repeated our first game after returning to the PL

2-2

Neves thunder******* free kick
Raúl header

(But seeing as they don't have Richarlison... 2-0 )

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Don't forget all the presentations are after the lap of honour, hope Ruben gets POTS, I'm welling up already

 

[Tipton Wolves]

Everton have got a lot to play for. I wouldn't play a sentimental team, it is elite sport.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Gonna be a sad day, some players I would consider greats (in my time anyway) wearing the old gold at Molineux for the final time, hopefully we put in a performance as Everton are fighting for their lives, I don't want to see these players go out with a whimper

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

The last dance come on lads put in a shift for us

 

[OLDGOLD]

We have been poor most of the last 2 seasons. I'm not sure many of our players heads are in the game atm for a variety of reasons. Hope I am wrong but I see an easy Everton win.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I guess Mouts, Jonny, Raul and maybe Adama is a natural ending. Sad, but it has to happen eventually. Ruben will join a short list of players who we have lost despite wanting to keep them though. I guess in a way we're lucky that the list is pretty short. Jota, Lescott, Keane, wherever he goes I'll always hope for the best for him. Obviously I'm also consoling myself with the slim chance that Lopetegui will persuade him to stay!

 

[Sussex Wolf]

For us fans, don’t be sad, celebrate what they’ve brought to the club, and what the team have achieved since JL took over.

For the team, go out and enjoy yourselves. Give it 110% to remind fans of your best, and finish the home season with a deserved victory.

As for Everton. If we can help them on their way to the EFL, well all the better.

 

[DarrenRobertsDebut]

Hope we come out howling to send the fans home happy after a scary year there for a while.
The £10m for MGW will help, and if Forest stay up, that clown Cooper will have them in trouble again. Clearing your subs bench on the hour mark, then injuries and you’re down to 10 and lose points...again! This ain’t FM mate, can’t pull the plug and start again.
If Everton do stay up, have to think they’ll be penalties.
But next season I hope JL finds the formula so, like a few seasons ago, I can hope the teams above us lose so we can climb the table, and not hope the teams below us lose, so we don’t fall any further.
Raul brace, 3-1.

 

[JadeWolf]

Looks like a beautiful day weather wise. Proper end of season.

 

[djmikeydickens]

Got a feeling we are going to put in a great performance today. Think they'll want to sign off from Molineux in style

 

[Wolf316]

Deffo shorts weather.

 

[Scallywolf]

With us being safe, I Just hope we dont give Everton a free ticket to stay up.

If it was the other way round, Everton would definitely not do us any favours.

Hope we stuff them, good and proper!

 

[Tojo the grass]

Well it’s a beautiful day and it will nice to have a drink with the gang before and after the game, hopefully the match will be a classic but if not it will still be a fun day out.

Exactly that.

End of the season, we’re safe, likely saying goodbye to some of the best generation we’ve had in decades, nice weather. Regardless of what happens on the pitch it should be a decent day and the result whatever it is shouldn’t detract from that.

With that in mind I’m predicting full time Wolves 0-4 Everton and meltdown on the mix!

If it does turn out that way we want an atmosphere to rival when we lost 0-6 to Southampton those many years hence

 

[Yamalroite]

Already got my excuses for when a few of the lads do there final fairwells at the end of the game.
Hay-fevers playing up today ay it.....

 

[MIKE SLATER]

I hope the players who have done well for us get a good send off. Wolves are the lowest scorers in the Premier League so I hope we can change that today. Another sad stat is that this is the third successive season no Wolves player has scored more than six goals. Can Neves or Podence get their seventh?

 

[Golden Oldie]

Looks like a beautiful day weather wise. Proper end of season.

True. I had a very heavy fall almost two weeks ago and will enjoy my first proper walk since then as I go to the pub. I'll ache every inch of the way but the sunshine a few pints and a Wolves win ..... damn it, I'm being too greedy so back to my forecast of a 1-1draw.

Don’t you mean last 3 seasons?

Nunos last season was a stinker!!!
