Wolves v Brighton FAC5 comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

On paper this looks like a very evenly balanced pairing. One point apart in the League and Wolves with a marginally better form performance over the last six matches. We really need to get behind our lads and make the home advantage count in our favour. Win this and we are into the last eight.

So COYW do yourselves, GON and the fans a big favour and give it your very best shot. We'll all be rooting for you!

 

[thommo1984]

Interesting line-up…. I’ll leave it at that.

Come on you Wolves.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Hmmm
Gonna need a big last half hour i think with a few changes

 

[Bostin]

Pretty happy with that team.

Just relieved Doc is playing in his natural position rather than LB! Got a feeling he’ll score tonight.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Not sure why we've pretty much picked half a team. Perhaps expect one or two at most to be rotated but Neto, Dawson, Sarabia and Semedo all on the bench is a bit much.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Interesting changes as Gary rotates the squad.

 

[Boss Hogg]

He’s not gone and done a McGhee has he?

 

[Bostin]

Looks like 5-3-2? Although with how fluid we’ve been recently, god knows!

 

[Perton Wolf]

It does yes

 

[brianm]

Happy to see Doyle in for Sarabia. That means we will have one player capable of good set pieces throughout the match.

Hopefully this works.

 

[Sedgers]

Bit disappointed with that side tbh. If we get through there's the potential for five of the eight sides in the quarter finals to be below us in the league hierarchy. I'd have gone full strength. Anyway, come on the Wolves!

 

[lobodelsur]

These were the sort of changes I was expecting last Sunday - just hope GON has got it the right way round.

 

[brianm]

Semedo not even in the bench, did he get a knock against SheffU?

He's there.

 

[Jack Russell]

 

[Rabid Wolf]

Game is on BBC Red button (VM 991) and BBC Iplayer.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Quite pleased with that team, especially as Newcastle is a big game for me (living in Newcastle!). I think with a flurry of games in a short period of time, and fewer days of rest than Newcastle have for Saturday, he had to rotate a little. I'm pleased Neto is having a rest, he's played a lot since he's been back. I think he'll replace Hwang in the second half, who could also do with some rest.

 

[AndyY]

Looks like 5-3-2? Although with how fluid we’ve been recently, god knows!

Or 4-3-2-1? Any advance?

 

[Jack Russell]

Looks like GON is holding back the cavalry!

 

[AndyY]

He's there.

Yes, sorry, had a senior moment. Deleted my post!

 

[Living at other WWFC]

Looks like we are focusing on Newcastle this weekend.

It's a poor team. Bellegarde as Hwang as our CFs.....

Not sure why he's rotated that much.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Not sure why we've pretty much picked half a team. Perhaps expect one or two at most to be rotated but Neto, Dawson, Sarabia and Semedo all on the bench is a bit much.

Maybe incase we go extra time, imagine a fresh Neto against guys who have 90 mins in their legs

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Gutted we still don’t take the cup seriously

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Brightons team not great either though so who knows

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Game is on BBC Red button (VM 991) and BBC Iplayer.

I can get iplayer with my VPN, but Red Button?

 

[Millsywolf22]

I think we have to remember what happens if you keep going with the same 11 every game. We don't want any injuries and with the sports science in the game they know exactly where each player is and the limits. I'm a bit disappointed but we have something to come in and change it when needed....small squad, what can you do

 

[RosehillWolf]

Gutted we still don’t take the cup seriously

I’m a tad worried by that line up to be honest

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Are one or both of Lemina / João Gomes one booking away from a suspension?

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

It's a poor team. Bellegarde as Hwang as our CFs.....

Not sure why he's rotated that much.

3 games in a week probably.

 

[Perton Wolf]

3 games in a week probably.

Was expecting Dawson and another to be rested.

4 a bit much.

 

[Starsky]

If several players are apparently 'creaking', I think we need to trust GON's judgement on the rotation.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

The one benefit to this is Brighton won't have prepared to face a 3 man midfield. We just need to hope Hwang can shake off the rust!

 

[Fenrir_]

Pretty happy with that team.

Red herring

Doherty is gonna play up front

 

[Big Saft Kid]

GON may have just rotated us out of the Cup. Too many changes for my liking.

 

[Minimalist]

Or 4-3-2-1? Any advance?

433

 

[purplepault69]

Coventry

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Coventry at home for the winners

 

[JohnB]

Coventry

At home

 

[sc91]

Sort it out Gary.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Cov at home next round too, good side but a golden opportunity for a return to Wembley.

Shame we've not picked a stronger side tonight.
