Wolves v Coventry City (FAC6) comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

As one who can remember the then Third Division South Bournemouth side winning a fourth round tie at Molineux on 26 January 1957 with a goal from Reg Cutler in the 40th minute, I have learned not to take cup matches against lower League opposition for granted. Yes we should win, but you can guarantee Coventry will be up for it big time and we cannot take it as a given. It is after all 11 v 11 and whilst our eleven should be better than theirs, it only needs a bit of luck for them to shock us.

The fighting spirit shown by our players this season has been inspirational and it is that which I rely on for us to succeed. So COYW, Wembley beckons. Go out there and seize the day. We are all behind you!

That bench !

Nice bit of poker by Oneil yesterday, but this is going to be a real challenge today.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

When GON said he was happy with where we are i was not expecting that bench lol

 

[sheffwolf]

Bit concerned by that line up! Not sure where the goals are coming from, and no game changers on the bench if we are struggling.

Would love Fraser to step up today!

Come on me babbies!

 

[clivewolves]

What a great opportunity for a young lad to be a hero.

I don't care how we win, just as long as we win and get to Wembley. We can win this!!

 

[Nige100]

Wow we better not pick up any early injuries this game. We really are scraping the barrel with that bench.

 

[Jack Russell]

If we can steer free of injuries, I am very happy with that starting line-up.

 

[Chris H]

Good luck to the kids on the bench, they’re some talented kids so let’s see what they can do.

Potentially getting to play in an FA cup quarter final will be a dream for any teenager.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

I'm hoping to see Minimina come on 2nd half, see what he can do

Or a nightmare

RAN and Lemina will push on i expect both have goals in them

 

[Minimalist]

Could be 4231 again.

 

[WickedWolfie]

That bench !

Does every seat have a dummy.... Talk about inexperienced....

It's the least bad that we have available.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

One of these kids is going to be the hero today. Fantastic opportunity for them.

 

[sc91]

Come on the lads, a great day awaits!

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Looking at Coventry team id still have ours with all the injuries tbf

 

[rincewind]

Everybody who's fit plus some kids

 

[Tojo the grass]

We need to get our noses in front and try and control the game. There were a load of Coventry fans who got off the train when we arrived and they are well up for it, it is going to be a great atmosphere,

 

[WickedWolfie]

If you couldn't say that about pretty much any PL team though....

 

[Contrarian]

One of these kids is going to be the hero today. Fantastic opportunity for them.

Let's hope Coventry have no kids playing today, then!

 

[sillytuna]

Wow that's a young bench! Big day for youngsters.

 

[JOSWolf]

Potential big day for some of the kids. Squad is in shreds though. The bench is really light for a Premier League side. Concerned where the goals are coming from today. Clearly Cunha not ready but hope he hasnt had a setback.

I dont think he was ever going to be ready for this game tbh

 

[WickedWolfie]

I dont think he was ever going to be ready for this game tbh

I'm actually glad that we aren't risking him. Shows just how threadbare we have been left by the powers that be though.

 

[Skrilla]

When you have four forwards out injured, of course you will have kids on the bench. How do you think squad morale would be if we had a third string for every position. Horrible situation but hopefully that will likely change in a couple of weeks after the international break.

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

One man's "happy sub's bench" is a Mixer's existential crisis.

 

[Evthewolf]

So many big players missing. The starting 11 is okay but if we aren’t ahead on the hour, we don’t have any obvious game changers on the bench.

On the plus side, this team has togetherness, motivation and a fantastic will to win attitude.

COYW.

Our mentality will be the reason we win today, if we do.

 

[GigaWolf]

That bench !

I hope we're bringing those on once the game is safe

 

[JOSWolf]

There is some exciting potential on that bench. Would love to see what Noha can do. He is meant to be rapid.

 

[JOSWolf]

Chiwome, Barnett, Chirewa and Holman all exciting prospects.

 

[Bugsy911]

Down to the bare bones.

I was hoping Hwang at least might have recovered as he usually gets over these injuries quicker than expected.

Yeah well said. The bench is wafer thin but Newcastle and others have been through similar moments this season. We do need a couple more but no squad can lose therw top 4 strikers and not notice

 

[StaffordWolf]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Holman make an appearance late on, from what I've seen that lad can finish.

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

Chiwome, Barnett, Chirewa and Holman all exciting prospects.

If we look comfortable around 70 mins, give some youngsters a few minutes in a huge match like this one IMO.

 

[GigaWolf]

I expect lots of early pressure from them. Much like the baggies game

Endure it and let the quality show through lads

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

Wow, what a thrill for young Fletcher Holman, who only joined us on the 4th of January from Eastbourne Borough, and is now on the bench for an FA Cup Quarter Final !!!

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Please god no ET & penalties
