Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 When at least ten of the starting eleven now pick themselves as long as they stay fit, these threads are getting shorter. Still think it'll be a tough game. Wolves are quite big and physical, things we can struggle against. It will help if they came to attack rather than sitting back.

Micky Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 We've shown a lot of character and bottle to pull clear of the relegation zone, but if we're serious about being a top ten team these are the sort of games that we need to be winning. Wolves are a strong physical side, but we got a point at their place so we have to be looking to win this one, it'll be tough, but I'm hoping our good form continues, 2 - 1 Saints.

JRM Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 Tough game, I'd take a point. 6 pointer for a Europa spot, we're only 3 points behind Wolves who sit in 7th. Wolves have a replay on Wednesday night away to Man Utd. Wolves season started in July in Europa league qualifiers, I saw a graph of "Most minutes played this season", which was dominated by Wolves players as they haven't made so many changes for Europa group games. They've got more to come with Espanyol over two legs in the next round. Will be interesting to see if they tire later on in the season. Crazy to think this way but we're in a battle for Europe now, just 4 points behind Sheff Utd in 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 I say it every time we win 2 in a row in the League, but this is a good chance to win 3 league games in a row for the first time since Koeman. Never underestimate Wolves, but we’re a tricky outfit right now. Would I take a draw? Mmm, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 12 January, 2020 Share Posted 12 January, 2020 we usually falter when we have won 2 in a row. But off the top of my head, game 3 in previous runs have been mid-week....we have a week off for this whilst they have a cup replay at Old Trafford. Stars are aligning for us here.

Although only 4 pts from Sheff Utd and a win on Saturday would take us level with Wolves (barring GD of course) lets not forget two poor results and we could be in the mire again.

S-Clarke Posted 13 January, 2020 Share Posted 13 January, 2020 It's hard to want to change too much, it'll just be what the fitness shows to be honest. Back 4 I think will clearly stay the same, that works and has formed a solid basis to the surprise of most of us. I think this will be a tough game though, Wolves are a tough nut to crack. They generally don't lose too many games or let in too many goals, so we're going to have to be very good to get a win I think. It's really handy that our good form has come when we have games in quick succession like this, as it means we don't really lose that momentum as there are no imminent international breaks. We've picked the best time of the season to have this sort of run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 13 January, 2020 Share Posted 13 January, 2020 Wouldn't want us to change to much right now and hope we go with pretty much the same settled line up. Once this one is done, we can see what shape everyone is in for Palace and go from there. Interesting to see Wolves have loaned out Patrick Cutrone, the £16m Italian striker they bought in the summer, on an 18 month loan to Fiorentina. Guess that hasn't worked out for them and I wonder if they have a replacement in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasper57saint Posted 13 January, 2020 Share Posted 13 January, 2020 According to a couple of Wolves fans who live up here in North Shropshire near us they believe that Wolves have 'gone off the boil' a little of late and the mid weeks games are having their toll. They both reckon we will walk off with three points as we seem to have gained much more aggressiveness and confidence over the past few weeks. I'm predicting a clean sheet win for us.

sfc4prem Posted 13 January, 2020 Share Posted 13 January, 2020 Wolves are a strong side with some talented midfield and attacking options, and some impressive defenders. It will be a difficult game but our tenacity at the moment is a joy to watch. I think we will have too much of them but will concede first. 3-1 to the Saints. Ings and Long with one each, Redmond with the cherry on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsaint Posted 13 January, 2020 Share Posted 13 January, 2020 Before the Spurs game I said I’d be happy with 5 points from the next 5 games and incredibly we’ve surpassed that already! Would be amazing to win 3 on the bounce and push for the top half of the table but I’m also aware just how quickly things can change. I’d take 2 points from the next 2 and guarantee ending Jan on 30 points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an odd one, kids a quid but also a cat A game so £50 a ticket in block 28 for example , plenty of those seats left not surprisingly at that price, the areas where £1 kid tickets are available (wings / behind goal) are mostly sold out now though.

Dan Johnson Posted 14 January, 2020 Share Posted 14 January, 2020 They've a midweek game away at Utd with the potential of extra time, I would expect them to play a relatively strong 11 there which could give us a big advantage given the energy we're playing with at the moment.

tajjuk Posted 15 January, 2020 Share Posted 15 January, 2020 Would probably take a draw, they are a good team, counter attack well and have lots of threat out wide. Bertrand will really have to be on his game because Troare is really developing into something quite scary, he's built like a rugby player with the speed of top sprinter, but he's added end product now. Jota on the other side is also a real threat. Also the 3 in a row thing just doesn't seem to happen for us and we are still one of the worst teams in the league at home. Hopefully the extra game in midweek will drain them and we'll have the more energy and nick it at the end. They also concede a lot, they have conceded the first goal multiple times this year apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
