Wolves have put out a strong side for tonight's match - only one change (a goalkeeper) from the last Prem game. Hoping it goes to extra time.
And then pens, and they lose.

Traore playing down the left for Wolves tonight. Worrying if he's going to be up against Cedric.

 

Why’s that ?? have you not watched the last 6 games .

Why? Cedric's been playing pretty well and has more pace than Bertrand.

 

Not that many have been able to contain Traore when he's in the groove this season.

 

I fear he'll mess around like Antonio a month back.

Many worried by Adama, and without jinxing it, and admitting that I haven’t watched Wolves play much, is there really much reason to be worried by him- purely looking at the stats he has 4 goals, scored in 3 matches out of 21 games played?

 

Watford beat them 2-1 recently and he played full 90, I have confidence we too can stop him.

 

Jimenez worries me more oddly enough- he might score from a corner/set piece or similar.

Wolves are a very decent side, great game tonight and they were unlucky to lose. Adama is one hell of a unit and bloody quick and will pose us problems. I think LONG will give their defence issues as they looked suspect to a long ball behind their backline tonight.

Telegraph - 86 Mins: Adama Traore has pulled up and I think could be coming off imminently

 

BBC - SUBSTITUTION Is this another injury? Adama Traore is not moving too well now and he limps away as Oskar Buur comes on at wing-back.

Not as influential as Traore, but Vinagre pulled up with a hamstring problem towards the end of that game also.

 

Hopefully means a lot of tired legs will have to play again come the weekend.

Sounds like Traore isn’t injured, but that game last night seemed to take it out of Wolves who looked tired and now without a win in 5. After they play us they’ve got Liverpool midweek so doesn’t get any easier.

 

Think they’ll try and frustrate us and hit us on the break, we’ve had all week to prepare but I’ve got a feeling we’re due a bad performance to bring us back to reality after the recent good run, this game could be similar to West Ham at home.

Big chance for Adams, hope he takes it 7916729d7ca8a3d4a3a7dc92a4424746.jpg

He won't start. It'll be Long, and rightly so after his recent performances.

I want to give Adams a run as much as anyone as he has far more potential than Long but against a team tired from midweek having Longs pace to run them all over the pitch will do a lot of favours

Long's been ok......but he looks gassed before the hour when he starts. Ralph doesn't seem to do half-time subs but replacing a spent Long with Adams at H/T would be my hope.

Start Adams. Bring on Long when they’re knackered to knacker them more

More likely Long to start then Djenepo to run them ragged when they tire. Adams for Ings as he fades.

Agree. It really doesn’t need overthinking.

We're talking ourselves out of Match Threads as there is nothing to dicussmost weeks.
True. Good, isn't it, to actually know our best team.

First 11 does name itself, but personally wouldn’t mind Djenepo over Armstrong in the home games for that raw pace but at the same time he does make a great impact sub so would be happy with either

 

I also prefer bringing Adams on in away games where he holds up ball somewhat well and has good link up about him- if it is 0-0 at say 75 mins would bring on Obafemi myself

 

However there are so many possibilities and I’ve not even mentioned Boufal yet!

The game on Saturday will let us know if we fall back into old patterns (similar game to West Ham) or we will change the old pattern and show a brilliant performance again.

Beware the wounded wolf.

 

When we had Palace at home they were supposed to be missing half their first team, if anything this would make it more likely for Wolves to play deep rather than attack us, we struggle to break teams down like that, would definitely need the first goal.

lets hope the players now after having won back the fans now go back and rest on their laurels. This is when we should be pushing on and hopefully not back to cruise mode

Most said the same thing about Leicester.

No, I was just being flippant. Let's just go out and beat them! I still remember the Sakanowski hat-trick all those years ago.

A defensive and tired Wolves playing deep could make it a difficult game. I'm mostly concerned that Wolves may want to 'reduce' lively Saints, as the media used to say about Southampton in the days of Saints 'Ale House' side. Slightly worried that Ings might end the game limping. I hope I'm wrong. Who s the ref?

Had a dream last night we won 1-0 with Che Adams scoring.

Thanks for the tip. I’m off to the bookies.

Do you remember what minute he scored?

I’m getting greedy.

I watched Wolves against Liverpool over the Christmas period and I haven't seen a team take Liverpool apart like they did in the second half, for a long time. They looked absolutely top class that day and should have got something from the game. Liverpool were hanging on at the end. Since then they haven't been as good. A lot of games in a short time frame added to their long season might be the reason. They still have created chances, but less clear cut, and not taken them. I thought Ruben Vinagre looked a talent when he came on in that Liverpool game and if he gets some time on the field I will be interested to see how he looks close up.

 

Saints are obviously riding high, but if we think the job is done and take our foot off the gas in terms of work rate and hounding teams from the front then we will be in trouble. It will be a very tough game. I'd take a draw, but confidence is high, so want a win. Need to adapt quickly to their wing backs.

Vinagre has done his hamstring.

Wolves are clearly a very good side with a good manager and some very good players.

 

We will have to be as good as we have been recently to beat them.....hopefully, their tough fixture list will aid this.

According to my paper, Darren England. No stats quoted which makes me think it's his prem league debut...
