Wolves v Coventry City (FAC6) comms thread.

[Timberwolf]

Hmm. Has to be said. We're lucky to be level at h/t. Definitely an argument to introduce Hugo and RAN play up front.

This

 

[AndyY]

Call me old fashioned, but how about we play people in their normal and best positions?

 

[Skrilla]

No pace in that front three today. I'm actually surprised we've had the chances we've had, to be honest. They've had chances too, it's certainly open.

Just need to dig out a win somehow, by the end of April for the semi-final it's likely all four of our missing forwards will be back...

 

[goldeneyed]

No strikers, what do you expect? Our lack of striker cover is a disgrace and for three years the club have failed to sign Jimenez's replacement.
Fraser has barely seen the ball and is too isolated, he needs players around him. Doyle playing far too deep- we need his shooting power up front. Ait Nouri should play as out and out winger with Sarabia playing more as a 10 than as a winger.
We play pretty football but with nothing up front. Nothing.

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

This is the sort of match where there'll be one chance and one goal to win it.

 

[SellyWolf]

Lots of comments about bringing on a young player here to solve the problem of a young player not being quite up to it.

Doherty to come on for Fraser is more likely and probably more sensible I think.

Edit - obviously not to play up front…

 

[DDPPwolf313]

Just think GON has got this one all wrong so far. Hope we can turn things around second half, pretty grim first half.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Keep solid and hope for a set piece. We ain't going to score two.

Funny because we're scoring more goals than ever without these CFs you say we don't have and desperately need.

I think is the only line up we can pick isn't it?

 

[MattH]

Don't get the hate for Fraser. He's a number 9 being asked to play as a pressing forward with no service. Apart from the daft miss he's looked OK, but this formation just isn't suited to him.

 

[wallace]

Sarabias movement has been excellent but needs somebody to play off up top. We aren't playing at our usual intensity, hope this changes for the 2nd half

 

[JOSWolf]

We have been poor. Looked a lot better against Fulham with the same players.

 

[Perton Wolf]

I was hopeful when Sa went down and we made a change to a back 4, but Lemina remained on the left. It's killing us.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Up to us to turn the screw here

 

[JOSWolf]

Agree he has had crap service. He is being left far too isolated. We have been far too deep at times and Doyle needs to play a higher line.

 

[Lincoln-Wolves86]

Hmm. Has to be said. We're lucky to be level at h/t. Definitely an argument to introduce Hugo and RAN play up front.

Exactly what I’d do. Plus RAN on a yellow I’d rather him up top and let Hugo defend.

Doyle has been great today.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Fair play to Coventry and Robins as they’ve outthought us for much of that half, we haven’t really got control if the midfield, Palmer for them is impressing me

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Don't deserve anything from this game we're absolutely terrible.

 

[zedkiel60]

Not as bad as some making out, need GON to tweak a couple of positional things and i think we'll be o.k. Lamina into a more central role

 

[stever]

Doyle has been great today.

Doyle has been our best player. RAN not far behind

 

[Skrilla]

Fraser has been poor but I'm not sure it achieves anything taking him off either. He's trying his best. Taking him off ruins his confidence, and we won't look any better anyway. Stick with him, he's getting into the right spots.

 

[Hawkguy]

Don't get the hate for Fraser. He's a number 9 being asked to play as a pressing forward with no service. Apart from the daft miss he's looked OK, but this formation just isn't suited to him.

What? Yeah we haven't had much service to him. But some of that is his own doing.

1. Semedo wins the ball on the byline, Fraser screaming for a pass but literally standing behind a Coventry player and he's not moving.
2. That volley attempt might be one of the worst things I've ever seen on TV. Felt like playing on the playground with casual fans.
3. Took a shot with no angle and no chance, instead of attempting to win a corner.

He hasn't had a lot of service. But when he's had chances to be involved, it's been really poor.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Service has been poor no doubt but he's not been sharp enough in the box either. No excuse for that.

 

[GigaWolf]

No changes?

 

[Spellbinder]

No changes at half time

 

[Hawkguy]

Being on the right this game does nothing. Lemina and RAN are playing on left, Sarabia basically has nothing to do lol

 

[WW1963]

Coventry created all the best chances. Never fancied us with all our injuries and still don't.

But you never know.

 

[sillytuna]

We've passed it around nicely, just no pace or action going forwards. Couple of touches aside, fraser's a passenger I'm afraid. I'd rather see doherty there as he knows how to position himself and is good in the air.

Nowhere near as bad as being made out but we did get lucky towards the end. Semedo should have scored and he should have set up a goal. That said, he's playing very well.

Interesting second half coming.

 

[GigaWolf]

No changes at half time

66 mins then

 

[WickedWolfie]

I found that first half really hard work. Firstly we have literally **** all up front - even Fraser seems unfit. Secondly l have a number of clowns around me who seem to have last attended a game before 2018 and think that a quick hoof forward to Dave Edwards is the solution to any situation.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Lemina back in the middle, hopefully. With a more orthodox front 3.

 

[Ned]

Don't get the hate for Fraser. He's a number 9 being asked to play as a pressing forward with no service. Apart from the daft miss he's looked OK, but this formation just isn't suited to him.

I don’t think there’s any hate, or there shouldn’t be, he’s playing poorly and is largely anonymous. Hopefully we get him involved.

 

[AndyY]

I think is the only line up we can pick isn't it?

It’s the only 11 we can pick but not the only formation and we were all over the place in the first half with several players out of their normal positions.

Ah man, I hate the “get it forward” fans. Literally no clue how modern day football works.

 

[Hawkguy]

Yeah it's not always hate when we criticize. He's young. Plenty of potential. Not today though.

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

It’s a time where a vocal captain would make a difference

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

If only Ran could shoot.

 

[GigaWolf]

****s sake ran that was pish

 

[Hawkguy]

Ah man, I hate the “get it forward” fans. Literally no clue how modern day football works.

I'm part of the crowd in two situations.

Throw-ins and instead of passing it to Sa lol
