Team v Brighton

[JOSWolf]

Whats everyone going with then?

Bad news is that Neves, Podence, sore toe, Kilman, unknown injury are still out.

I fear it will be yet another game where we struggle to score.

If we’re going to try something like that with Ait Nouri further forward I think I’d try it with 2 CB’s rather than 3.

More like:

Sa
Semedo Boly Coady Jonny
Chiquinho Moutinho Dendoncker Ait Nouri
Jimenez Silva
​

I don’t think we will go with a back 4, but if we’re going to play Ait Nouri in front of Jonny that’s what I’d prefer to see I think.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Gonna be an absolute bore fest this one. 0-0 all over it.

Anyway:

Sa

Semedo Boly Coady Saiss Ait Nouri

Moutinho Dendoncker

Chiquinho Jimenez Neto

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Ugh. Missing 3 of our 4 best players this season is a kick!

....pass....maybe Fabio and Raul again? And this time not subbing off our best player!

 

[S G Wolves]

Without Neves and Podence does feel a bit ****.

Still would play Raul and Fabio.

Seeing Hwang starting just sucks the footballing life out of me.

Dendoncker Coady Boly
Jonny Moutinho Cundle RAN
Raul Silva Neto

Iv gone for height in the back 3 with fast wing backs for some counter attacking play. Try use Raul out wide with Neto and Fabio can continue to impress down the middle. Cundle and Moutinho should be able to pass forwards more against a parked bus

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Kilman could miss rest of the season.

Would give Toti a go if we continue with a back 3

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Surely hwang cannot be in the team again

 

[waveney wolf]

Surely hwang cannot be in the team again

Surely no goals Silva cannot be in the team again!

 

[waveney wolf]

As I said the other week, nothing to play for , time to experiment for Bruno ball next year.
Pointless carrying on with 5 at the back,
Pointless carrying on with our goal shy front 2 , what is it , 6 goals between them all season Inc pens ? Jeez that is bad , even phuki has scored 10?
So....new formation of 4 1 4 1 , with our best finisher up front.

Agree with the line up except those front 3 Jade. No way will all 3 start imo. They would be cannon fodder for the likes of Dunk, Duffy and co.

Bruno has said that Neto is not fit to start but brings him on off the bench. I would rather play him from the start and give him 60 minutes. I think Bruno will always start Raul as well so my starting front 3 would be Neto, Raul and Fabio.

That is Hwang or Trincao confirmed as starting then YAWN

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Pedro Neto isn't fit to play 90 minutes.
Could we not give him minutes 1-45 instead of say, 60-95?
Could we not risk being 1-0 up at HT instead of bringing Neto on when we're chasing the game?

Yeah but what if we’re 1 nil down and taking our best player off at half time instead.

Even if necessary, I can’t see as it’s go down particularly well with the crowd if we start the second half weaker still chasing the game…

I'd like to see that. RAN definitely has the skill set to do well there, Chiquinho has looked very good in his cameos, and anything to keep Trincao out gets my vote.

I've heard it said that many agents insist some loan deals have a clause that the loanee has to play and if he doesn't then the loaning club have to pay his full wage for that week. This may explain why some players always come on as a sub.

[Jd132]

I think Lage will go with

Sa-Boly-Coady-Saiss-Semedo-Dendoncker-Moutinho-Jonny-Trincao-Raul-Hwang

Then bring RAN, Neto and Fabio off the bench when needed

 

[Rhyl Wolf]

Like the idea of RAN up front. Perfect time to experiment a bit. Won't happen though.

 

[Ian]

Always start with your best/ strongest team.
If Neto is fit enough for the bench , he's fit enough to start.

3-4-1-2

....................Sa...............
...........Boly, Coady, Saiss............
Semedo, Donk, Moutinho, Jonny
.......................Fabio.....................
........... Raul............. Neto.............

I'd try Fabio in the "10" role with Neto working off Raul up front ( ie like Jota used to).

 

[BCWolf]

So long as Hwang and Trincao are unused subs, I am good.

I don’t think that saying really rings true anymore in the days of nine subs on the bench.

There’s that much depth on a bench now you can literally have someone who is injured sat there just to take a penalty in a cup game for instance.

I don’t mind that team if Neto is fit enough to start, I’d probably switch him and Silva though and play Neto behind the front two.

...........................Sa
Semedo...Boly...Coady....Jonny

................Raul...........Silva

If we are going four at the back we could give Saiss a run out in midfield, but that side really lacks width.

I think on balance I would prefer to stick to what we know, but play Cundle behind the two strikers

But I would bring in Gomes for his extra pace at the back.

..............................Sa

[Golden Oldie]

Surely hwang cannot be in the team again

I suggest you don't put a bet on it!

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

I think there will be a surprise change to shake things up a bit, maybe a Chiquinho or Campbell start
