Wolves v West Ham United comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

An intriguing match this one as prior to our team being announced, we cannot be sure who is available to play. A win here is essential if we are to keep our hopes of European competition alive. So, as it is Wolves we all know what usually happens in these situations.

Time to get a winning result here Wolves. We know you can and you know you can, so COYW and get those 3 points please!


Santiago Bueno and Tommy Doyle into the XI

 

[Jack Russell]

Looks good to me for a starting XI.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Our left back starts up front then. Brilliant

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

I think we can win this by winning the midfield battle and having RAN as the main attacking threat.

 

[Skrilla]

That's got to be incredibly frustrating for Hugo Bueno. Doherty against Bowen will be interesting...

I can't say I'm feeling at all positive with yet again no focal point on the pitch. If Cunha is fit then he should be starting.

 

[Slothmonkey]

This line up hinges on two things. Where Doherty starts and where Nouri starts. If we get anything will be a Jebus Christ miracle.

 

[The Clock]

No words

 

[Starsky]

What a dreadful line up.

 

[Jeru360]

This is what I wanted to see at halftime last week so….RAN with a free role up top - love to see it. Would rather Bueno over Doc but otherwise this lineup gives us the best chance to win.

 

[A3wolf]

Think Doc is in there for his aerial strength.

 

[JOSWolf]

Think there won’t be a middle ground here. Either it will do well or will go badly wrong.

 

[AndyY]

Our left back starts up front then. Brilliant

Which one, Doc or RAN?
I would play Doc up front!

 

[Nige100]

Those thinking Hugo should be starting over Doc at LB please play back his performance mid week at Burnley he was dreadful.

 

[Alienwolf]

The good news is that it looks as if Bowen is playing a central role today, the bad news is that Doc will have to contend with marking Kudus instead

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Should be starting Cunha and Dawson, not bringing them on when we are 2 down. Bueno should be starting over Doc FFS. We could lose this by HT with that team.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Gon trying to be clever
We are in big trouble

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Threadbare and patchwork, but if one good thing comes out of this difficult period it will be Ait-Nouri's development as a roaming left-sided forward, in the vein of a Robert Pires. He could well bloom into a very special player with his technique and versatility.

Think Bowen might leave Doc upside down in a ditch, however.

 

[WickedWolfie]

What a dreadful line up.

Luton or Blades would be embarrassed to start that team.

 

[lobodelsur]

I don't see any pace anywhere in that line-up.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Those thinking Hugo should be starting over Doc at LB please play back his performance mid week at Burnley he was dreadful.

Then look at Doc Vs Coventry, a Championship side....

 

[hollo]

Ait nouri is quick

 

[djmikeydickens]

Wim gorra git pumped

 

[Topcat]

Initial thoughts are that if we get a draw then we’ve done pretty well, but we’ve been here so many times before so expect the unexpected, either way!

 

[SA Wolf]

Like most, I would prefer an up and coming Hugo over an down and going Doc, but my principal fear is; where are the goals coming from?

 

[hollo]

Maybe a goal comes from a header. Some big lads for corners.

 

[wolfslair]

I don't see any pace anywhere in that line-up.

Ait nouri is bloody rapid!!!

Toti and joao Gomes aren’t slouches either

 

[Southdownswolf]

3-5-2
Doc and RAN up front........

 

[VancouverWolf]

Should be starting Cunha and Dawson, not bringing them on when we are 2 down. Bueno should be starting over Doc FFS. We could lose this by HT with that team.

I’m sure Gary would love to play them but maybe feels that they’re not match ready.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

No words

That's a relief.

 

[goldeneyed]

Too much cotton wool round Cunha? Ait-Nouri as centre forward sums up the self-imposed mess the club have got themselves into.
Glad to see Doyle in there but he needs to get forward much more.
Blimey crazy times indeed. If we get a point it will be a miracle.

 

[lobodelsur]

Ait nouri is bloody rapid!!!

Toti and joao Gomes aren’t slouches either

Are we going to play them all up front...???

 

[Jack Russell]

I’m sure Gary would love to play them but maybe feels that they’re not match ready.

Exactly!

Doc the Iceman

 

[Big Mack]

Think there won’t be a middle ground here. Either it will do well or will go badly wrong.

I’m thinking the latter

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

Lots of people blamed/criticised GON for Neto's injury, for playing him after he had passed fitness tests... Cunha is fit enough for the bench, but less recovered than Neto was when we started him... so absolutely the right decision to not start him today.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

5-3-2, nothing up top, not feeling very optimistic

 

[wolfslair]

Are we going to play them all up front...???

That isn’t what your post said.

You said there is no pace in that line up…….

There is some pace in it.

I also would say Lemina isnt slow either

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Luton or Blades would be embarrassed to start that team.

Just a little over reaction.

 

[brianm]

Gary isn't making the same ****ing mistake a third time with being too hasty with injury recovery. He probably still feels like a mug for Neto...

Good for him.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

According to the tv Doyle is going to be playing centre forward.
