Leeds and Forest

[sedgwolf1980]

Arguably season defining.

6 points: order some of Hicko’s oysters, we are home and hosed.

4 points: very much acceptable

3 points: not great but could be worse

2 points: worse

1 point: someone check in on Jos

0 points: anyone got Neil Warnocks number?

What we saying….?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

6 points or 4 points if moutinho doesn’t start either

0-3 points if he starts in either

 

[Matt]

We have to be getting 4 points as a minimum, ideally 6. A huge couple of weeks ahead.

 

[Royal wolf]

Play on the front foot and don’t concede early and we have a chance in both

 

[Willywolf]

we need 6 or 4 points imo, moreso because they are the teams around us. We still have some tricky fixtures to come where we will struggle, especially as we only manage one goal per game, or nil. So these next two are crunch games for me.

 

[Matt]

I think the rest of our fixtures are pretty good tbh, only really United and Arsenal away that I’d consider write offs.

United couldn’t beat Southampton at Old Trafford yesterday with 10 men.

We beat Southampton at their place and we had 10 men.

We can get at least a point.

Yeah, possibly. I just mean those are the only two fixtures we have left where I don't really expect a point, obviously we can but those would very much be bonus points in my view. All of the other games I think we can go into realistically expecting a point or three. So hopefully we actually come out of four of them with three points!

 

[Macman]

We need four as a minimum, preferably 3 of them against Leeds otherwise the international break will be stressful.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

I reckon it will go the same way as the Southampton-Bournemouth double header, win one and lose one. We rarely have two good performances in a row, but also don't often have two bad ones under Lopetegui. So long as we keep averaging around 1.3ppg until the end we'll be fine.

 

[WalsallWolf]

6 points or 4 points if moutinho doesn’t start either

0-3 points if he starts in either

When will this utter cobblers of a myth end?

 

[Bugsy911]

Chris Wood is at Forest isn't he

 

[oldgolded]

The problem is that we all expected to beat Bournemouth. It's going to be a nail biting rocky ride until the end of the season imo and it could go either way.

Oh yeah I know, I'm definitely not saying we will draw/win all of those games! But hopefully, we have enough "winnable" games to pick up 4 wins and a couple of draws.

 

[MrJamez]

Julen needs to wear his chinos again..

 

[Stafford]

3 points from 2 should give is a 3-4 point gap and keep things interesting.

 

[rubyloo]

Forest will be a cauldron. Absolutely vital we get 3 points against Leeds.

 

[WalsallWolf]

I'd actually take a loss against Leeds at home if it meant beating those jumped up ****ers at Forest and reminding MGW of the utter tosspot fake wannabe that he always will be.

 

[Polish Wolf]

Looking at the fixtures next weekend, 3 points vs Leeds would be vital. All the other teams of the bottom 9 have difficult games (or difficult games postponed).

 

[Scallywolf]

Chris Wood is at Forest isn't he

He was on the bench for them on Saturday against Spurs.

Not done much for them since his loan move from Newcastle.

Then again, he always seems to cause us problems.

 

[Alienwolf]

Must not lose either. If that means 2 points, then so be it.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Both games are must not lose with one of them a must win. Beat Leeds, point at Forest.

We need 4 points and it’ll all be gravy.

 

[JOSWolf]

Play on the front foot and don’t concede early and we have a chance in both

Totally agree. Sit back and have Lemina in defence and we will be in big trouble in both of these games. Both sides will try and attack us from the off and get in our faces. I really hope we dont see the Spurs first half performance or yesterdays display in either of these games or it wont be pretty. Up to Lopetegui to get it sorted this week and set us up far more positively for both of these games.

 

[waveney wolf]

We better score quick , cos if it's 0 0 with 30 mins to go, he ll bring Collins on .
Must must must go at Leeds with Neto and Traore...must not loose at forest.
4 points ( if we score early )

I actually would start Hwang and Cunha... and one more chance for Raul upfront, mainly because he seems to be linking well with Cunha. Hwang and Cunha never stop running and their runs are pretty intelligent. I can see both Leeds and Forest defences struggling with that.

 

[Perton Wolf]

He should use the XI vs Liverpool at home as a basis, considering how we overwhelmed them in the first half with the pressing and energy displayed by the front 3 and midfield, which was:

Sa
Semedo Dawson Kilman RAN
Neves Nunes Lemina
Hwang Cunha Sarabia

(Shape adjusted from 4-4-2, for how I would think we'll setup vs Leeds)

 

[Boss Hogg]

If we play “wonder of you” before we come out It’s 3 points guaranteed. Otherwise zero.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Must not lose either. If that means 2 points, then so be it.

Yep. Strangely enough, two points would be better than three from these two games

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Yep. Strangely enough, two points would be better than three from these two games

It's not a stupid idea if it means neither Leeds nor Forest gain on us.
Wolves P2 Pts 2
Forest P1 Pts 1
Leeds P1 Pts 1
Or
Wolves P2 Pts 3
Forest P1 Pts 3
Leeds P1 Pts 0

Not actually sure which looks better. Depends on how open the race is I guess?

 

[Northampton_wolf]

need to beat leeds get us to 30.

Forest have got newcastle next

We should pick them up at the right time

We must beat leeds, getting to that 30 point mark as early as possible will make a massive difference in this 8/9 team showdown at the bottom.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Makes being cheated yesterday even worse
If we'd got the right decisions we'd be going into the next 2 much more relaxed

 

[VancouverWolf]

Obviously we hope we win these games but I won‘t be surprised if we lose both those games.
I don’t know about anybody else but some of my belief and optimism in JL is diminshing.

No one fears Wolves.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

If we win those two, I think we’d just need another win and a draw (maybe just one more win) for safety.

However, I’m a Wolves fan, I know this is not how it works and I really think we’ll struggle in these two fixtures.

I do fear that both Forest and Leeds have more fight in them, maybe less skill, but I think they’ve got more desire in the team.

Hopefully Wolves will channel the antics from our League Cup defeat to our advantage at the City Ground.

 

[xbomber]

Chris Wood is at Forest isn't he

Wouldn't surprise me - most players are nowadays. Would be quicker to list the ones they haven't got.

 

[Monketron]

6 points would sure as hell make the next 2 months a lot more chill that's for sure. We all know that's not the Wolves way though

 

[Fenrir_]

Yep. Strangely enough, two points would be better than three from these two games

So many teams in it that three points would be better than two because it should help us gain on the other six teams. I was actually thinking the same and I'd take two rather than three... then realised in this situation it doesn't really work. If it was just a case of keeping Forest and Leeds below us then yes, two would be ok, but with the other clubs down there to think of three is better

 

[Contrarian]

Yep. Strangely enough, two points would be better than three from these two games

You could be right! Reminds me that 3 points for a win was brought in to encourage attacking football. Yet, sure I read somewhere, that statistically there are fewer goals now than back in the 2 points for a win days.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

I'd actually take a loss against Leeds at home if it meant beating those jumped up ****ers at Forest and reminding MGW of the utter tosspot fake wannabe that he always will be.

Yet he’s made much of his footballing passion then any of us on here ever will.

Wasn’t particularly sad to see him go, but don’t really blame him for giving the Wolves fans some back given the chants he’d been receiving.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Where is this myth, now seemingly accepted as reality, come from that we have no fight?

No physical presence, no cutting edge, no end product, yes. But I don’t see us as having less fight than any other side.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I think some are confusing big athletic **** houses who can run with players who have fight.

 

[ToastedWanderer]

Lack of goals is still a major concern, making 6 points from these games pretty much beyond our reach..
