Hmmm I think Adams for the useless Redmond and maybe Forster deserved a crack at the first team now 

Get off Redmonds back, he had a good game on Thursday evening and I'm glad Ralph has shown faith in him.

Much as expected, Ralph had hinted that Redmond was going to play in the striker role. I know he got some stick for the Cup game in midweek, but if you just watched the highlights you would actually think (mistakenly) that he had a good game. Would still prefer Adams, I think left sided midfield is somewhere we really need to improve in the summer, we can do better than Redmond/Djenepo. 

But that's the point. I don't think he had a bad game, he did the job asked of him. Had he scored it he probably would have been named MOTM. Big if of course but strikers walk that line 

He's being used in the Walcott position, I presume Ralph has a system and players have to play within it. For Ralph Redmond is the best fit. He defends well from his position and when on form droves forward.

However he needs to up his game in final third, he can't keep killing attacks. Minimano will hopefully show him the way.

Couldn`t agree more.  I`m all for constructive criticism where it`s appropriate but as we`re supposed to be supporters I refrain from joining in with the anti-Redmond brigade.

Redmond isn't useless, that's a bit OTT.

Agree on Forster, can only think its a wages thing

Yep. I don't think he was being asked to run at players on the week. It looked like he had a very different role, more of a link man. His performance wasn't eye caching, but it helped the team.

Would like to see the boy tella get a start .. very impressive cameo against the same opponent ..would be a better option than redders .. tella wants to go forward and get defenders turned around whereas redders checks back or sideways .. hopefully tella get a run out again 2nd half

He’s clearly not garbage is he. He was one of our most important players a few seasons ago. He’s just been out for quite a long time, and will always take players a few games to settle back in. 
 

Ive got no problem with him being given another chance today. He was decent if not spectacular on Thursday night.

At least we are back at a point where there is some debate about who should be starting, as opposed to just getting the 11 bodies on there.

I’ve been critical of him but he looked better up front than in midfield, is worth giving another go free of any defensive responsibility IMO.

Going to be a totally different wolves today compared to the cup! Will be a tough tough test, their attackers are very dangerous, really hope we can contain them & somehow sneak a lucky winner i dont care how even if we play bad & win!  We just need to not lose six in a row!

Karen Carney there with a decent knowledge of our tactics. More clued up on us than most male pundits.

Wow is that stat right, an average of two goals conceded every game for the last ten games? (I know the 9-0 don't didn't help)

Yep very good pundit and does her research. Compared to likesof Savage is quite embarrassing for all the dinosaurs who need to see men

6 goals in 8 games one of which was against Chorley. Doesn't sound as though they have too many dangerous attackers.

Wasn't she the one who annoyed Leeds when she said she thought they benefitted from project restart? I think that is 100% right. Same for us, that reset allowed us to come out at 100mph and have a cracking end to the season.

They gave her a load of abuse on Twitter and she ended up deleting her account.

He tried to do a few decent things and got through on goal however his shooting was abysmal and he did give the ball away a lot, and pass backwards a lot, he has the skills but no football brain that's what's frustrating

I was watching the highlights of the second leg league cup final at Anfield the other day. Redmond was absolutely brilliant over both legs, tore them apart. It’s clearly in there, but he often seems scared and lacking confidence. Really hope he can find it again.

Spends too much of his career turning backwards rather than doing what he's actually very good at and running at the defence at pace. 

I'm going to deliberately count how many times he gives the ball away today Vs keeps hold of it, I'm convinced he gives it to the oppo more than he does something useful.

Key for a female pundit. Brummie accent bit of a turn off but definitely best woman around IMO

What do you think of Walcott and Ings who have both missed a number of sitters are they garbage too????

Decent team, I'd prefer Adams over Redmond for work rate alone but I'm not a Redmond hater, I just think he plays too safe sometimes when he should be more adventurous. I rate him slightly higher than Walcott which is probably controversial on here and I prefer him in a more attacking role too. I can see him and Minamino being more flexible behind Ings which should add to our unpredictability.

 

If fit, Diallo is the only one that would be first choice... but God knows for who.

We can win here. Win this and our Leeds game in hand for example and we're still very close to the Champions League places! It would be nice to get into the top half again or at least hit the 30+ points mark.

Wouldn’t call it a particularly good game, given what his main job is. But, I’m not averse to him being given the opportunity to play his way back into fitness and form.

Alex Scott remains my number one. Although competition is always welcome

That shouldn't be how it goes. Redmond has had so many chances in this side (and over 200 EPL appearances) and apart from one purple patch hasn't done enough. He should be coming off the bench with some excellent performances and earn his way back into the side. I can't remember the last time he earned his way back in.

No idea who was meant to be offside there, awful decision. 

Can only assume Redmond from the initial ball through!?

If that’s the case then it wasn’t advantage and should’ve been pulled back for a foul on Ings shouldnt it? Or am I wrong

Am I the only one who is thinking that the Red and Orange kits are somewhat clashing?

Couple that in with both teams wearing black shorts- might be making it harder for the linesmen
