Pamplemousse Posted 22 September, 2018 Share Posted 22 September, 2018 We'll score against them, the question is whether we'll be able to keep them out at the other end. A draw I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Lej Posted 22 September, 2018 Share Posted 22 September, 2018 Pretty much a must win. Think we will as well. Thanks, I needed a laugh after today’s game. Wolves are pretty much everything we’re not. We will concede at least 2, and are very unlikely to score 2 ourselves. I’m no Einstein but that combination leads me to believe we’ll lose.

Micky Posted 22 September, 2018 Share Posted 22 September, 2018 A draw is the very best I can see, we are polar opposite teams. Their confidence is sky high whilst we are bereft of any confidence or leadership whatsoever. Wanted to go to this but tickets sold out, at least there will be a good following, time for the away fans to do their stuff again.

Saints foreva Posted 22 September, 2018 Share Posted 22 September, 2018 Going to this one, last went to Wolves when we won 6-0 despite them dominating the game. Weirdest game of football I've ever witnessed. Anyway onto this game, I can't see us picking up points here, we are awful. 2-0 Wolves, we'll hand them at least one of the goals with our awful defenders.

Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk We sold out the 3000 allocation really quickly which is unusual for us in a game north of Birmingham, will be a good turn out but unfortunately the away end at Wolves is poor for getting a decent atmosphere, whole lower tier along the side stand where often fans at one end of the stand are singing something completely different to those at the other. As for the game I think most likely a defeat, they play perfect way to capitalise on our weaknesses. 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 22 September, 2018 Share Posted 22 September, 2018 Wolves are a very good side - but we can be as well. I think this will be a great game.

sandwichsaint Posted 23 September, 2018 Share Posted 23 September, 2018 Liverpool had bigger fish to fry and eased back at 3, Wolves don't. They have looked good in pretty much every game so far and will want to start scoring the goals their approach play deserves. They will have far too much for us, 4-0 min, 5 or 6 is possible. Cardiff and 'udders are likely to go down so really only one place to play for, Newc and CP are poor, then it's us/Burn/WHam/Fulham as the worst of the rest. Win that mini league (how!) and we could be 12th., not out of Sept yet and most people now would take 17th if offered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 23 September, 2018 Share Posted 23 September, 2018 This is a much more important game than Liverpool as it is a game in which we have probably targeted to pick up points.

You can incredibly ordinary and still end up in the top half, as Leicester are right now. Wolves haven't been anything amazing, just better organised than we are. We've played well enough in patches against Brighton, Leicester, Palace and Burnley, we just can't do it for 90 minutes and usually bottle it in injury time.

Pamplemousse Posted 23 September, 2018 Share Posted 23 September, 2018 The Leicester game you can sort of excuse, because we were down to 10 men. I don't think we would've lost with 11 on the pitch. The Brighton game was the one that we should have seen out. Obviously we did see out the Palace game but it wasn't straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st.bangkok Posted 23 September, 2018 Share Posted 23 September, 2018 Nailed on zero points at Wolves. We are not as bad as many think, but we sure as hell aren't as good as Wolves. Figure it will be a sort of 1-0 or 2-0 maybe 2-1 game. As I have said many times, we will plod along as we are now on about a point a game under Hughes. He is the past and we need to look for an upcoming manager with new ideas. I throw into the ring Mr. Darren Moore at West Brom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 23 September, 2018 Share Posted 23 September, 2018 Neves and Moutinho will have a field day of Hoj and Lemina don’t turn up. Even if they turn up they'll just be 5 yards the wrong side of their opponents chasing back towards our box. Can't see us getting better than a point and would be happy enough with that tbh. Wolves will end up top half along with Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 23 September, 2018 Share Posted 23 September, 2018 Spot on..........about time he gave Armstromg a proper run in the team and in a central role behind Ings The reason Armstrong isn't playing is because Ings is playing in his position.

Even without the clarification from IFAB about 10 years ago that contact fouls (including obstruction where there is physical contact) are direct rather than indirect free-kicks, that foul was a penalty not an indirect free-kick, even in the 1970s - had the ref not completely bottled giving it.

Should be a good day out, team seem to prefer playing away, if we can stick in a decent performance we have a chance of nicking a result, however if we don't they have the ability to roll us over pretty easily...not been there since the days of Ryan Smith where I seem to remember we were 3-0 down after half hour!

Pamplemousse Posted 24 September, 2018 Share Posted 24 September, 2018 I've said this before, Long's most effective position is out on the wing. If we're playing Redmond and Elyounoussi on the wings, then someone else should play - Ings and Austin or Ings and Armstrong. If Mo is still injured then Long should come in.

He's more effective with better players around him, i.e Pelle and Mane. When he becomes the main man, which he has unfortunatley become because we failed to replace either Pelle or Mane, then his weaknesses are shown up for all to see.
