[lets all have a disco]

The 3 games in a week is going to be Cunha biggest obstacle I reckon...do you build him up gradually or give him 60 mins to start etc....one off game Saturday may be different....but it's looking at the whole of next week that presents an issue surely...

30 mins vile
60 mins start burnely ( get game done and 3 points)
then 60 mins to 70 weekend?

hope 90 by next week?

Whatever the medical team n Gary think....just pointing out although it's great to have him back....the fact we have 3 games in a week makes it a bit more tricky as such....Fraser or chiwone may have to put some minutes in as well, to cover it...

And accordingly expectations probably need to match that......

Come on now let’s be realistic. If we’re winning this it will be 1-0 with us under heavy pressure for the last 10 mins

 

[JohnB]

Have to push RAN up top for me. Cunha either starts and plays 45-60 mins (if think not fully match fit but injury is ok) or doesn't play. Not certain about having on bench getting cold and then popping him on for 10 mins.

Hoping....

[OLDGOLD]

I may be being unnecessarily negative here and we have done well against Villa recently, but I can't see us winning this one sadly.

 

[Millsywolf22]

Need a villa off day.....a after the int'l break type performance from them.....we're to short of players playing in the right position

 

[Skrilla]

After what happened to Pedro that would be utter lunacy in my view.

We play three games over the next week. If we don't maintain our strong form then we fall out of the race for top eight very quickly. Maybe Villa is the game where he isn't risked given how strong they are at home, but very soon he's going to have to start if we want to have any chance.

Trashing what remaining players we have on an almost certainly forlorn hope will likely encourage them to want out.

McGinn’s a big miss for them.

That’s a tad dramatic!
No one is suggesting playing him against medical advice, only if he is given the all clear.
And it’s Villa! they are a good team, but they are not unbeatable.

If sheff utd can park the bus and get a point so can we

 

[WalsallWolf]

Given our current injury issues, I think we are in for a walloping.

 

[WickedWolfie]

We can, yes, but it will need a much better defensive performance than our recent efforts. I certainly hope that we do it!

 

[Jd132]

Emery likes to pack his midfield so I think we need at least three in there. As the games wears on and Cunha gets tired, against this Villa side, I would bring on Boubacar for Cunha and switch to a diamond with RAN and Sarabia up top.

I know he has had to change it recently due to personnel issues but most of the season it's been Watkins and Bailey (or Diaby) with Kamara, Luiz, McGinn and Tielemans all in a diamond midfield. With our own personnel issues, I can't see why we should try to go much more attacking than that, particularly away from home. Sit in, frustrate, counter.

[Oh When the Wolves]

The thing for certain is there is space behind their defence and it is essential we expose that .

No tippy tappy *******s .

Cunha not involved tomorrow according to Dave Azzopardi.

I think we could lose by four or five.

Get that feeling early goal kills us like the Newcastle game few weeks ago

Okay so no Cunha now not looking good

After seeing Fraser against Coventry I’d start Chiwome over him at present. No slight on Fraser, just maybe needs some help the way things are at the moment up front. Ordinarily with a little more squad depth and less injuries they both might well be on loan somewhere learning their trade.
Anyway UTW!

 

[John Wolves Fan]

No point us rushing Cunha back if he is not ready. There are plenty of other games coming up and we don’t want to miss him for them.

Agreed. It’s just dispiriting ahead of a massive game.

 

[goldeneyed]

Hope Cunha starts otherwise we will find the ball keeps coming back and defence will eventually crack. Otherwise GAN doesn't have a lot of choice. RAN must play up front wide with Bueno replacing him at WB.

The Villa squad is so much deeper than ours! They lose McGinn and Kamara and have Luiz and Tielemans to play. Can replace Cash with Konsa.. Moreno and Digne in competition on the other side... at CB multiple quality options... and Diaby to support a CF with 16 goals already this season and a very dangerous Bailey. Buendia and Mings long term injured but they have hardly felt the loss... Jacob Ramsey coming back... And Dhuran in reserve.
In comparison we are paper thin in terms of cover and competition. So much work to do in the summer transfer market with Sasa, Neto and Hwang all so injury prone and Dawson coming to the end of his career. Plus Guedes,SIlva and Podence to somehow get some money for....and perhaps the loss of Neto. We need two new strikers and a winger imv. Oh and Che Adams is not the answer and never will be.

 

[John Wolves Fan]

Agreed. It’s just dispiriting ahead of a massive game.

He may still start or at worst come on for the last 30 minutes or so.

I’d probably plan to give each 45.
Chiwome seems far more pacy so will probably be a greater threat if we end up playing counter attacking football.
Think I’d start Fraser then bring Chiwome on for the second half.

Sa
Kilman, S Bueno, Toti
Semedo, Gomes, Traore, Lemina, H Bueno
Sarabia, RAN

Although I reckon it’ll be Doyle and Doherty instead of Traore and H Bueno.

If Doc plays today we will lose by at least three. Jonny was more effective!

Few rumours going around that Chiwome starts instead of Fraser

[Dingle Chris]

Hugo simply has to play today.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Out frontline is going to be seriously embarrassing for a PL club.

Even when we're on track to have a good season, the hierarchy's ****e decision making still finds a way to rear its ugly head.

 

[Skrilla]

If Cunha is still out, I think RAN has to start up top. Bring Hugo in at left wing back. Villa love to press high so I'd start Chiwome so we have some pace up top and runners for Sarabia to find.

Kilman Bueno Toti
Semedo Lemina Gomes Bueno

Very unfortunate to still have four forwards out injured. You can usually deal with an injury crisis, but not when it's all in one area. Awful situation.

Yeah, I think it’s either that team or Doyle for Hugo in a 352.

We are absolutely stuffed in attack. Gutted. It could be a stroll for Vile. May aswell use Chiwome anfd hope he comes good as we have virtually nothing else. Front three of RAN, Chiwome and Sarabia with Bueno at left wing back.

 

[JOSWolf]

Vile will destroy Doc with their pace. Maybe he will be upfront at this rate.

Totally agree. The depth and lack of it is a joke.
