Newcastle v Wolves comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

Newcastle have gained 6 points from their last six fixtures and their last win was 6 matches ago. Wolves have gained 10 points from their last six fixtures, which include 3 wins. Those are the facts, but the reality is that those facts don't count for anything at kick-off time when it is 11 v11 and it comes down to which side has the better attitude, determination, resolve, application, ambition and sheer guts to get the job done and win the three points. After the win against Tottenham, I will expect our boys to be well and truly up for this one.

So COYW show us that you have what it takes and do yourselves and us proud with another 3 points!

[jonesy]

Moutinho in

 

[dane]

Sarabia?

 

[Jack Russell]

No problems with that selection. I note Hwang back on the bench.

 

[Jack Russell]

Sarabia?

Quite so. Is he injured?

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Cunha and Nunes dropped then.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Podence due a good game

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Dan Burn will be pleased...

 

[ombyman]

Podence and Moutinho starting, I might go an paint a fence or something at 4.30 instead. pointless, Newcastle will steam roll us with those two in the team

 

[Ned]

I don’t think anybody here would have picked Mouts but let’s see what happens. Gutted there’s no Sarabia but let’s go!!!

 

[OLDGOLD]

Cunha and Nunes dropped then.

Cunha not dropped, recovering from injury isn't he?

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Podence and Moutinho starting, I might go an paint a fence or something at 4.30 instead. pointless, Newcastle will steam roll us with those two in the team

Would that be joint top scorer Podence and one of the main reasons we beat Spurs, Moutinho? Or different ones?

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

I could predict a Lopetegui line-up for 100 years and not get one right.
Like @ombyman I wouldn't have Podence and Moutinho anywhere near the starting XI, but what do I know?

Good god Omby.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Interesting. But think we have all learned these last few weeks that over thinking the starting line up is pointless under Jlo.

Podence and Moutinho were superb first half Villa away FWIW.

 

[Justawolf]

Moutinho should never ever be a starter.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Got to trust the manager again here, he must be seeing something in training.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Cunha not dropped, recovering from injury isn't he?

He's on the bench.

 

[ombyman]

Its the Podence that can't close down or tackle anyone

and Mouts is too old for a 100mph midfield battle

 

[StaffordWolf]

I must say though if there is anything I've learned from the recent training videos it's that Toti Gomes is our most potent centre forward.

 

[Andywolf74]

Yeah agree it’s a concern. Only really got Lemina in the centre with a bit of physicality. Would prefer Gomes over Moutinho.

 

[JohnB]

Goal or assist for Moutinho

 

[arooooo]

I always open the match thread just after it goes up, to read the team selection.

I really should leave it at that, maybe reopen it when we score a goal....

 

[Tring Wolf]

Nervous about us defending set-pieces. Think I’d have gone with the extra centre-half.

Point today would be a decent result.

 

[ombyman]

Good god Omby.

the selection annoyed me, was looking forward to the game. hopefully i am proved wrong

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I'd have kept Adama and Mounts on the bench as they excelled accordingly last week. Happy to see Pod back so I assume he'll have a stinker!

 

[StaffordWolf]

This is my only real concern with the line up. Newcastle are a big side.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Point today would be a decent result.

A point today would be an excellent result.

What colour you gonna paint it?

 

[JOSWolf]

I think Sarabia's wife is due to give birth to twins any day. Could that be the reason he isnt in the squad?

 

[Sketchead]

Decent team. I'm sure if you asked 10 Wolves fans which team they'd play you'd get close to 10 different answers, so let's trust the manager.

Our bench is better than theirs overall, but hopefully we aren't getting battered by the time it comes to using it.

 

[Axle]

It’s tough to advocate for Mouts starting.

His best performances have been from the bench and he can really affect matches from there.

Let’s see. JL is paid the big money for the big decisions but l still don’t think him starting is a good call.

Delighted to be wrong. A point here would be a fine result.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Enjoy your painting. I hope the rain holds off for you.

 

[Jack Russell]

JL uses 16 players per game. to suggest that people have been dropped because they are not in the starting line-up is totally ludicrous!

 

[JOSWolf]

Must say I am disappointed Cunha isnt starting. Not sure about Moutinho starting. He seems to do better when he comes off the bench.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

I think Sarabia's wife is due to give birth to twins any day. Could that be the reason he isnt in the squad?

Some women really have no sense of timing.

 

[waveney wolf]

Traore to skin Burne time and time again

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

No yellow card for Neves today please ref

 

[luiandlui]

Great team. Good to see our most creative midfielder and attacker both starting

 

[VancouverWolf]

Or Podence could get a goal…..
it was Mouthino that laid on the chip for Podence to score the winner just a few weeks back………
