Leicester (H) Pre-Match Thread!

[JadeWolf]

IT’S MAAAAAAATCHDAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!

Here we go again. I dunno about you lot but I’m still buzzing from last week. Great win away at Spurs to build on today hopefully!

Yesterdays results were mixed, it was good for West Ham to drop points, Arsenal got an expected win and Tottenham an unexpected one. But we can’t just sit and hope everyone else loses we’ve gotta grab our destiny ourselves and do the business in our games. The teams we’re competing with are all quality so dropping points is a bonus not something we can rely on.

It’s a tricky game today, I think whatever way you look at it Leicester have underperformed this season (not helped by injuries tbf) but on their day Tielemans, Maddison, Vardy, Barnes, Lookman, Ichenacho are all top quality players who can cause anyone problems. We’ll need to be at our best to get a good result.

Great to hear from Bruno that everyone is for and fighting for a place. It sounds daft to say but having Neto, Mosquera, Hwang, Boly and Jonny coming back into the squad is a huge boost. They’re all quality players and give us options.

I think the only change today will probably be Moutinho for Cundle. Harsh on young Luke who did ever so well last weekend but Joao and Ruben have given us such a steady strong base in midfield all season getting them back together seems an obvious choice.

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

COYW!

Excellent post to start the day!

Cracking Noddy image again Jade!

45 mph winds today during the game. That's more in these parts than on Friday. Should make for interesting distribution.

Yep, gonna be horrible!!



Batten down the hatches and dig in, it's not going to be pretty!

That's luxery..80mph gusts here on east Suffolk coast Friday,and 57 mph at kick off today.
We have to win this, but we ain't been very good at home ..0 0

 

[arctic rime]

Come on

 

[Wolves Heathen]

Another must win game, I will be happy with a scrappy 1-0 win.

Lucky you. There was a tree down at my place down South...

 

[Wolf316]

Feel for those in the Graham Hughes today it’s going to be brutal.

Yup. The Gene Kelly will live up to its nickname... Bloody glad that I'll be in the NBU.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Remember the last time against Leicester City and when the weather was dreadful? It served up a STORMER and I hope we are treated to the same this afternoon!

The job is simple: to get 3 points and keep up the pressure on West Ham, Man United, Arsenal and Spurs and seeing Bruno's news that everyone is in training means our bench will look IMMENSE.

Hope everyone enjoys the game (despite the conditions) and finally, they'll be a 16th minute appluse to young Wolves fan and former Kidderminster Harriers Junior Academy player Harley Barnbrook from Kingswinford, who sadly passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest in a car park at Merry Hill on Tuesday.

May Harley rest in peace and may today be in his memory.

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

Three points by any means necessary.

 

[Summer_Wolf]

3 points a must. Not at all sure we'll get it though. Home form needs to improve, I've much more confidence away from home atm

 

[Ian C]

If the wind doesn't lift the roof off Molineux, Pedro Neto making an entrance onto the pitch might!

 

[Frank Lincoln]

A big week coming up, it would be nice to start off with three points, which I think we will get. Leicester are poor at the back, and we need to exploit that.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

I don’t see us getting 3 points today… but if we do I might need new trousers.

 

[Ian C]

I live very near the Derbyshire/Leicestershire border and although much closer to Derby, more of my mates locally are Leicester fans.

They've all already waved the white flag on today.

We play the ball to feet well, which in this weather will be the way forward, surely home win today...?

Hope someone's remembered to tie some sandbags to Podence's ankles

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Going to be wet in the SW corner, and SL5, and NB lower.... None of it will matter if we've got 3 points at 6.25!

 

[Ned]

Come on boys, let’s carry on last Sunday’s brilliance.

The wind is going to be a huge factor which maybe will play into our hands in terms of having the second best defence in the league. Hopefully we can keep it tight and take any chances that come along.

If Vestergard plays they will be all over the place at the back!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Come on you Wolves!!

 

[StraightToPopworld]

Come on then boys. Get after them from the off and they’ll fold.

 

[Tipton Wolves]

You all seen who is out for them? Starting back four and vardy. Take advantage!!

 

[Sketchead]

We could really do with winning two out of our next three this week if we want to have a go at top seven. Come on boys.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Come on fosun. Get your chequebook out and buy the Portuguese weather.

Joint best defence in the league now following City shipping three yesterday.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Me too. I'd stick Jeff and Vinny in there today.
Seriously, it would give them first hand experience into what fans face, sitting there on a brutal weather matchday.
Temporary stands do add much needed capacity but aren't a long term solution, no roof, wide open to the elements.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

We could really do with winning two out of our next three this week if we want to have a go at top seven. Come on boys.

Let's just win all 3! And when we win the 2nd out of the 3 games let's celebrate like we've won the World Cup

 

[Supadavewolf]

Joint best defence in the league now following City shipping three yesterday.

If we calculate goals conceded per minute defended, eg when the ball is in the last third of the pitch, we must be streets ahead of Citeh.

Their good defensive record is largely due to the fact they have so much possession they rarely have to defend!

 

[old wittonian]

If Vestergard plays they will be all over the place at the back!

He have a blinder then.

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

We never have any luck against Leicester

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

For those in the States, the match will be televised on Telemundo again.

 

[Scallywolf]

He have a blinder then.

No chance!

Turning circle of the Titanic and slower than me!

 

[Chris H]

It’s weird how I feel about todays game, I’m trying not to get my hopes up and put too much expectation on it. Not because I don’t think we’re capable, but because whilst I’d love a top 6 finish I really don’t want to feel disappointed if we were to only come say 8th because I’d have thought that was a fantastic season back in the summer and I don’t want a change in expectation to warp my thinking in to considering a disappointment now.

Bruno and the team done so well this season, I’d love us to go all the way but I really don’t want to end up underplaying what we do end up doing because it might not quite be the highest of heights that would have seemed well beyond us 6 months ago.

I hope that random ramble that adds absolutely nothing to this thread makes some kind of sense!!

 

[the 15th Wanderer]

They always say the conditions are the same for both teams but I do think that 40mph winds favour less cultured football. For the first time in my life we have a team that does best on warm summer evenings and billiard table pitches. Hopefully still cope well today though. UTW.

something that we've not done all season


(jinx alert !)

 

[Ginger Chimp]

We never have any luck against Leicester

I seem to recall a couple of 4-3 victories over the past 15 or so years.

 

[1972 i began]

Let's just win all 3! And when we win the 2nd out of the 3 games let's celebrate like we've won the World Cup

What the players OR fans....I seem to remember fans of the opposition saying summat like that about the southbank.Anybody would think they've won the world cup the way they celebrated.Think it was man city fans wen Doc blasted in the winner.Mind yow they could do with watching that agen,they might learn summat.
