Think you may have been a tad optimistic there Artic.

Surely Newcastle will beat City in normal time…

 

[Macman]

Coventry will be a lot tougher than people think, they will be well up for it.

Hoping of course we progress, I would be happy with anyone in the Semi Final except Man City or Liverpool.

 

[SuperGran]

Disrespectful and over optimistic

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

It will be a tough game against Coventry,and we shouldnt be taking anything for granted
We have lost to much worse teams in the cup before now
Our injuries will be a leveller,but we should still have enough to get through hopefully but im taking nothing as a given

Whilst Wolves have injury issues perhaps Coventry will have at least one eye on the chance of a play off place.

I doubt it - l remember how many times a Cup run derailed our promotion push in the past.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

What I'd like to see, Wolves, Leicester, City & Pool, we draw Leicester and win & Pool beat City then we go and batter Pool in the final, I can but dream

It would be entertaining to beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final and again last match of the season to prevent them winning the PL.

Noah would be on ark building duty given the amount of Scouse tears that would result....

Disrespectful and over optimistic

I looked up 'football fan after a win' in the dictionary and that was the definition.

I checked 'football fan after a defeat' and it said disrespectful and over pessimistic'.

Let’s hope Gary doesn’t have this complacency attitude. Coventry ain’t going to roll over for us
As a championship side we have knocked out premier league side. I really hate this idea that we are already through

 

[thommo1984]

Yep, doing well in the league and their biggest match in a generation. Will be a massive challenge.

To be fair l read Netherton's post as hopeful rather than complacent. Cov haven't played anyone above struggling Chump level in the Cup so far this year but I certainly expect them to give us a game.

 

[TriumphWolf]

would like to see the Klopp season-ending headlines being rewritten (by us) just to **** off the media experts
Albeit, a few hoops to safely jump through beforehand!

Haha I’m usually optimistic but it’s really annoying me that people are talking about Wembley before we’ve got there. We could easily lose to Coventry

 

[Axle]

Disrespectful and over optimistic

Yes. The complacency is strong here and on other places like the Wolves Reddit.

I hope the team don’t reflect the taken for granted bordering on arrogance of some of our fans

I seriously doubt that GON will allow any complacency.

Leicester beats MU and we beat Newc in the semis, I know, I know.

 

[purplepault69]

Isnt that what I am saying--do Coventry want cup run or chance of promotion ?

 

[Axle]

Leicester beats MU and we beat Newc in the semis, I know, I know.

I want to meet Lesta in the semi. Will be sweet getting revenge for all the times they have beaten us at the KP when they didn’t deserve it. Doubly sweet living in Leicestershire

Rerun of 49 final same score , that will do me

I very much doubt that Gary O‘Neil will take anything for granted. It will be a tough game, but I think Wolves will win, possibly 2 - 0.

With regards to the other games:

Chelsea 3 - 1 Leicester City
Manchester City 2 - 0 Newcastle United
Manchester United 1 - 3 Liverpool

Just a very basic comment. Obvious. Stating.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I want us to beat coventry and then play man utd or livarpool we can beat either on our day

 

[berwickwolf]

I don't think it will be easy, for sure.
I do think there's a strength at the heart of our team that will overcome most opponents when we use it well
We are at our home, at Molineux
If we have the right attitude of respect for the opponents and absolute commitment to our team, we have a great chance.
Another defining moment for this new team. Been pretty impressive so far.

Wolves 2-1 Coventry is my prediction.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

It's not going to be complacency, it's going to be quality.

Let's be realistic, we're highly likely to score 0 to 2 goals in this game because our attack is so blunt. To get two, like Saturday, we might need a massive slice of luck and one fires in off someone's **** again.

Stating the obvious but if we're struggling for goals, it's going to be a close game. Go a goal down, and we're in massive trouble.

Point is, I hope complacency isn't blamed if we don't go through. These players and staff have shown over six months that effort and application won't be a problem.

 

[NorthWestWolf]

In case anyone hasn't mentioned it, Coventry is going to be a tough game.

 

[Contrarian]

Yes, we really mustn't get complacent. You can guarantee that whoever we get in the semi-final, even City or Liverpool, won't be complacent about playing us.

 

[cannockwolves]

I am not very confident at all. They have been scoring, and we are likely to seriously hampered by injury.

We should be strong enough in defence, but we all know a dodgy penalty, defensive howler, or a worldie strike can lead to a goal - or we might just play badly and get beaten by the better side.

Having said all that we should still have enough - just. But this is going to be a very difficult game.

 

[Sketchead]

Any win will do. Worry about the draw afterwards!

They beat Maidstone, Rotherham and Watford and lost to Boggies. Yes they scored 5 in 2 of those games but a Championship side should score that many against the likes of Maidstone. Ipswich would have done except the keeper was having a worldie and they forgot their shooting boots. Rotherham are shocking and Watford haven’t won at home (or at all) since something like November.

Our midfield will be far superior to theirs. Yes they can score from a worldie, dodgy penalty etc but so can we. If our mind set is right it will be an extremely difficult game for Coventry. That and a decent atmosphere in Molineux as well.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Crap kick off time but I'm sure Molineux will be well up for this, and if the players are showing any complacency then that should wake them up from it. If we play well we'll win. But by no means is it a formality.

I expect Man City and Chelsea to get through. And I've a feeling Man Utd will beat Liverpool.

Rendering a semi final draw with the ABC mindset - Anyone But City.

 

[xbomber]

In case anyone hasn't mentioned it, Coventry is going to be a tough game.

Or as Nuno always used to put it, a "tough tough tough game".

I reckon when he used to go to the dentist it was too get a "tooth tooth tooth" removed.

 

[Zico]

Of course we can't take this for granted, and yes we've got injuries, and yes it's the Cup and strange things happen. But I can't believe how many people are making out that a middling Championship team are actually any good!!

Ipswich beat us

 

[Zico]

Ipswich beat us

Where did I say Coventry can't beat us? Of course they can. Maidstone beat Ipswich. It's just that people are talking them up as if they're world beaters!
