Number 6

Man city have lost more games in their last 12, than they did in the 106 games before that. This is a crazy dropoff.

I know the manager change adds a little bit more hope for Wolves, but this is probably the best fixture you can ask for at the moment. They've been shipping goals for fun and have been losing their heads. Time for us to step up and get another 3 points on the board.

I get that it would be difficult to construct this in any other way, but the impact on the team will obviously depend on how likely that player would have been to start if fully fit. Man City have probably seen the biggest impact of this, losing Rodri and his back up for a while has seen them tank. Similarly us missing Hermansen, Fatawu, Winks, and Ndidi is obviously worse than if it were Ward, BDCR, Skipp, and Hamza.

Think that's a very harsh decision to be honest.

There was that run before the world cup when we looked decent. 6 clean sheets in 8.

"Through the good times and the bad, we always back the lads" "If Ward is playing I'm not going"

This seems an odd way to measure it. If Palmer misses his next pen he'll drop to 8th.

Could see Martin at Rangers. He'd get to go up against Brendan.

Brilliant finish

Not after this I don't think.

Three hahaha

Saints hit for 9 again?

Going well this Russell

Everyone on here loves a panic.

Maybe we shouldn't fear the Man City fixture upcoming 😂

What a goal that is

Why are both these teams already on the beach?

Why has Eze's output been so bad this season? Always looked a very good player but he's been very quiet.

Can we all stop pretending that this is a fierce rivalry. Though turdgate was funny.

Even when not at major fault I feel like shots just go through him. He just won't make an unexpected save and any semi decent shot will go in.

Playing it out from the back is fine, setting up to play it out from the back and punting it is an issue. One or the other. We'll have to decide as and when we want to use either option, and we've mostly got right this season. If Mads is out then it will be long kicks.

Potential caretaker plus Ait Nouri and (maybe) Cunha out. Need to come out of the blocks fast on Sunday and out then under the cosh. The game is there for the taking if we're willing to step up.

Agreed, would have made the transition much easier. If Mads is out for any length of time I'd also imagine assessing who is the best number 2 will jump up the priority list - though if we're stuck with Iversen/Ward for any length of time then I think we're in bother.

I just don't think assessing who the second choice keeper is will have been top of Ruud's list in his first two weeks. He'll have just gone with the incumbent with so many more important areas to work on.

With Stol, who isn't available.
