Luton (A) Pre-Match Thread!

[JadeWolf]

IT’S MAAAAAAATCHDAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!

Here we go again!

Today feels huge. I know it’s still early in the season, but the performance and result today will set a tone going forward I think. It’s a game we need to be winning really, and we’re definitely capable of it.

We need to play as well as we did in the first half against Liverpool, that level of performance should be too good for Luton. What we also need to do is cut out the chaotic defending, and most importantly take our chances. Easier said than done obviously!

In terms of line-up, there’s a few changes that Gary could make, and if you look through fan opinions there are lots of options. I know the changes I’d be making, they’d be starting with goalkeeper, and I’d definitely be starting Sasa. But, the team I think Gary will go with is;

Sa
Semedo Dawson Kilman Ait-Nouri
Lemina Gomes
Bellegarde
Hwang Cunha Neto​

That’s not a bad team, and that team played Liverpool off the park for 45 minutes. Let’s hope the players are learning quickly how ruthless this league is.

Luton will be well up for it today. By all accounts they’ve been starting to get to grips with the League, and they’ll definitely look at Wolves at home as a genuine chance for points. We’ve got to match them for effort and work rate, and then hopefully our skill then makes the difference.

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

COYW!

 

[Mighty Thor]

Two magpies on the lawn this morning when I opened the blind. Plus it’s my first away day of the season. Two nil wolves. Cunha to be all fired up and make amends for last week.

Come on me babbbbbbies.

How about switching Hwang and Cunha? The latter is great as a 10 and Hwang more confident in front of goal.

 

[Woz_Wolf]

My inner demon tells me this will be a typical Wolves performance against a team with zero points, zero chance of staying in the league, manged by an ex Wolf and hence Luton picking up their first points of the season.....
But still hoping on a 2 nil to the good guys - Bellegarde and Neto
COYW

That's the team , but I'd like to see Sa dropped , and maybe sasa to start ,,,he's gotta be fit to start by now

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Today the wounded wolf will bite back.

 

[clivewolves]

I can see it being a lot like the Palace match. I can see us having a lot of possession, but will we do anything with it? I don't see Luton giving us space in midfield like Liverpool did in the first half last week. Patience might be required, but the longer it stays 0-0 Luton will be happy. I'm expecting a right old slog of a game, but we'll win.

 

[wwbug]

Just read we havent taken points off anyone bar Everton, since May 6th .
My prediction is if we lose this we may go in to free fall., and changes will come by end of November.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Come on me BABBIES!!

If your reading this Gary go and attack them!! Make 5 subs and play Toti!!

Good luck everyone may the Wolves bring us the points home!!

More in hope than expectation, but you never know!!

Hwangy, Cunha, Sasa, Fabio, Neto this is your opportunity. Show us what you can do.

 

[Plovdiv Wolf]

0-1 Wolves

Come on

 

[Golden Arrow]

Hope all this is worth it. I have to change trains at Derby, Leicester and Kettering so relying on everything going to plan with no Autumn leaves on the line.

It's a ball ache but 3 points would make it all worthwhile, otherwise its going to be a long journey home.

 

[StaffordWolf]

We really need this, my heart is saying we steam roll them if we play like we did last week, however my head is saying they're going to sit in deep and we are going to struggle to break them down and create clear chances.

 

[Titch]

First game I'm missing for a while today, have to make do with other methods!!!

Hope the lads and lassies there today cheer us on to 3 big and much needed points

 

[crocos]

I shall be in with the Luton lot in the "Bobbers Stand" [the new stand where the boxes used to be] with our boy, hoping for a need to fake misery at conceding & a need to avoid fake celebrating at scoring.

They're well up for this one this morning; time for GON & the team to show their mettle.

Brilliant...be typical of us to find our shooting boots today .....always happens when you are under cover ...

 

[DJLWolf]

Bit nervous this morning

I DO NOT want to see the look on my 8 year old lads face when he asks me the score at 4:55pm and I have to explain we've lost to Luton!

Come on you wolves.

A double for Hwang.

We can't lose this game today.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

First goal vital. If we score they will have to attack us, which should open the game up. Otherwise they'll sit deep and hit us on the break. Could be a long day.

 

[Darvo]

Come on Wolves … PLEASE!

 

[The Wolf In The North]

A crunch game against the poorest team in the league, lost four from four, nailed on for relegation (short of a miracle)... what could possibly go wrong?

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Safe travels to the lucky ones with tickets for today. Really hoping that O'Neil lives up to his reputation of switching it around according to the opposition. The 4231 of first half last week with the fullbacks pressing up doesn't seem like a good idea to me (not that I know anything). Given that we don't have anyone who can play up front on his own, we need to play 2 and go 442 for me, the FBs can sit and have some legs left for later if we need to change it.

 

[WalsallWolf]

Same team for me, although I wouldn't be against a little bit of a Pulis back four to deal with the barrage of balls into the box, perhaps even..

S Bueno Dawson Kilman Toti

Thoughts ?

I am gonna throw it out there that if we lose today, O'Neil is as good as a gone and Hobbs/Shi should be doing there due diligence in getting the man they should have got to begin with.

The way I see it is if we lose, we then have City next Sat, that's obviously a loss and potentially a big one and then Villa at home a week after that and if we lose that, I just think those 3 losses on the spin and where it will leave us in the league will see him gone. Fans will have turned too. Especially at home to Villa.

Which to be honest, even though I was raging at his appointment, he has done ok all said and done, especially given he had no pre season. We have played OK in most games, more than OK in some, I think any manager we have right now is handicapped almost in the fact we just don't have a competent goalscorer.

Having said that, we really should be winning today and I think we will - just wanted to throw the above theory out there as negative as it may sound.

 

[Matt]

I feel strangely confident about today. COYW.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

No disrespect to Luton, but we have some good players in good form and they won't roll over and have their bellies tickled but we should win.
In games like this where we should dominate posession we have to make sure we win the battles where its important, in both 18 yards boxes. I would probably have Toti and Doc in for this reason and I'd pick Fabio over Cunha as he always seems to find a chance or two dropping to him.

 

[Ned]

It’s Luton away but I’ve woken up with a sense that this is already a HUGE game. Hence the capitals in HUGE.

Come on Wolves!!! 3 points, I don’t care how they come!!!

 

[Bankswolf The Third]

May make this my new profile picture if the worse happens at 17:00

 

[waveney wolf]

Need to start like they did against Liverpool,,but go in 2 up from there efforts..then kill the game off

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

They're wearing the hideous third kit today so if we get beat that will be the reason.

 

[Stourport wolf]

COME ON WANDERERS!!!

 

[DDPPwolf313]

I feel strangely confident about today. COYW.

Christ, I wish I did.

Huge game today, a defeat would be unbearable.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

They're wearing the hideous third kit today so if we get beat that will be the reason.

Gold n black obviously clashes with the Luton red and white. Nothing to do with selling more shirts.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

The lovely green. We won in red so why not

 

[GigaWolf]

The lovely green. We won in red so why not

There's literally only 2 players in the entire luton squad that I've heard of.

If we get beat its because Wim cack

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

The lovely green. We won in red so why not

Looks blue to me? Seemed to get a good reception on here, I could only think of....

 

[Incognito]

We need to have two good halves and that applies to GON as much as it does to the players. Changes will inevitably need to be made, in game. Hopefully, ours can be impactful! Come on the old gold n black!

 

[Contrarian]

That's the team , but I'd like to see Sa dropped , and maybe sasa to start ,,,he's gotta be fit to start by now

Sasa is the tallest player in the league, but can he really adapt to the goalkeeper role so quickly?

 

[Contrarian]

There's literally only 2 players in the entire luton squad that I've heard of.

If we get beat its because Wim cack

I've heard of 3 - Giles (because he was one of ours), Marvelous Nakamba (because his name is memorable and he was distinctly un-marvelous for Villa) and Ross Barkley (ahh.. so that's where he got to). It could be 4 if you include that player who was with them in non-league days, but I can't actually remember his name. It's just that the commentators keep going on and on about it. Thankfully he never played Futsal, else the commentators brains might implode in an infinite feedback loop.

<EDIT> Am now a bit worried that I've just done Lutons team talk for them ... Mark McGhee style, he knew how to motivate the opposition!

 

[Wolf in Banbury]

Wolves 2-1,Neto to score first on Skybet at 80/1

 

[RutlandWolf]

That's the team , but I'd like to see Sa dropped , and maybe sasa to start ,,,he's gotta be fit to start by now

Sasa plays in goal as well?? Wow.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

The lovely green. We won in red so why not

I hope you're right.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I hope you're right.

Lucky green for us.

Bong bong green Wolves, green Wolves
