Team v villa

[Northampton_wolf]

So two weeks, 30th march.

Hope gomes and sarabia are wrapped in cotton wool on international duty


We may have bellegarde and cunha available if that's the case I'd play bellegarde and sarabia behind cunha

Massive game if we win I will genuinely be shocked but come on

Otherwise if we do not have a fit frontline

Play Hugo lb and ran lw

Agreed but he won't drop max

Agreed but he won't drop max

Tbf, I think both cb were very poor today, so it would be a coin toss as to who to drop if based on performance. Kilman though fwiw does have credit in the bank as a seasoned premier league defender.

 

[Starsky]

Couldn't care less now tbh.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

It's depressing if we need Cunha to play as a #9 when it took so long to work out he needs to play deep and carry the ball. Unfortunately that's also true on RAN, and they are our two real attacking threats. I think I'm hoping for Dawson in a 5/4 hybrid at Villa.

Sa
Kilman-Dawson-Toti
Semedo-Gomes-Lemina-Bueno
Sarabia-Cunha-RAN

Probably be RAN for Bueno and Bellegarde for RAN though.

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Just get bellegarde and cunha fit to play the match at all costs

 

[SuziQ]

Thought H Bueno did well today so would play him LWB and push Ait-Nouri forward.

As for the rest, I just want to see them have a bit more fight about them otherwise Villa could give us a proper dicking.

Need to match them physically in midfield, which we didn’t do at Newcastle. RAN free to roam.

Fair play to Ran two assists two goals since losing our front line he's playing himself into a mighty contract or a big deal

That’s the longest 6 weeks in history

Best we have at present.

Although as many may I have seen. I think Kilman is crap

 

[Scallywolf]

Noticed everyone is selecting Sarabia.

He was yellow carded today and is on 5 bookings, apparently.

Do yellow cards in cup matches count in the league matches?

Looks good to me in the circumstances.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Isn’t Sarabia banned?

 

[JadeWolf]

Isn’t Sarabia banned?

How come?

 

[Fenrir_]

Isn’t Sarabia banned?

No

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Isn’t Sarabia banned?

He has to get 10 bookings not 5

 

[Novawolf1]

Isn’t Sarabia banned?

Commentator on TV said he would miss the semi final….

How right he was

Cup and league are different regarding accumulation of yellows.

Play on the break against their high line with pace. We will get in behind them should give us fair chance. Spurs and Chelsea beat them recently and we’ve done them twice!!

Vile try and overload their forward play like other clubs but low block can frustrate them.

Semedo will need help down his side, will get targeted due to the late cov goals. (Introduction of Doc 60 mins)

Thats the team I would go with but Kilman will start.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Semedo and Lemina on 8 bookings btw. At least Lemina has probably deserved a few of them! Credit João Gomes for only picking up 6 so far (let's ignore the harsh FA Cup red) when many of us thought he might be a bit of a loose cannon!

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Same team again from me. Ease Cunha back in.

Play that same team against the Vile and we will get absolutely slapped.

 

[WW1963]

Couldn't care less now tbh.

All pretty meaningless, now the heart has been ripped from our team. Our whole game is based on Neto, Hwang and Cunha.

One missing is bad enough but two or all three missing kills us. You certainly can't trust Bellegarde to stay fit for more than five minutes, let alone Hwang and Neto.

We looked like a plucky Championship side on Saturday, beaten by a better Championship side.

The remainder of this season is going to be a turgid grind and I won't be surprised if Villa absolutely hammer us. None of what happens is anything but hard cheese, but some will blame GON because they've been itching to do so again since Ipswich away.

I cannot wait for the summer. Try and get top dollar for the perennially injured and invest some of that money in more robust players of the Jao Gomes sort.

I still can't get over the signing of Sasa. We all saw it coming when looking at his injury record.

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

Whoever's fit and ready will do. I'm very nervous for the match. I'm glad GON will have a while to think about his plans and to digest the Cov loss.

That's the spirit, lets pack up and go home.
Saturday was a shocker, miles below the standards we have been setting (shocking timing). I don't see this group of players doing anything other than digging deeper and fighting harder after the disappointment of the weekend.
People have written them off every time we pick up an injury we are going to crumble, Hwang, RAN and Traore are away we'll struggle with the squad depth. Yet here we are 10 games to play, 3 points off 7th and 6 points off 6th. All being well Cunha and Bellegarde are back after the break and Hwang a couple of weeks later.
Saturday was a tough one to swallow but plenty on the line between now and May, we go again.

Think that is a bit pessimistic to be honest. We showed that we can score goals even without our best XI, it's just that we can't defend. I think with some players back and a bit of a rest we can get a decent draw at Villa. Or record against them over the last few years is not too bad and now they can see the CL finishing they are wobbling like Newcastle under Keegan.

Certainly the opportunity to get a result there.

They will be on each others backs to get through

Dawson, king, cunha, lemina and other characthers will drive us to do better, hence bouncing back after the united loss

there is two weeks now before villa with chance to get cunha, bellegarde and others back up to speed

we have

the following internationals away

Ait nouri - algeria
Gomes, semedo, sa - portugal
sarabia- spain
gomes - brazil
lemina - gabon


i dont know about bueno for uruguay

 

[WolfLing]

Hopefully Cunha will be back. If he's training already he should be fit and raring to go.

If Bellegarde is fit, I'd like to see him wide right of a midfield 4, which is similar to one of the many positions he took up for Strasbourg last season. Ait Nouri on the other side causing havoc. Becomes a 5-4-1 when defending.
