Popular Post shailen Posted 25 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 25 July 2020 We made a mistake playing two defensive midfielders against them earlier in the season when we were in form and they were out of it but I'd go with that formation with both N'didi and Choudhury both starting. We will need energy all over the pitch and these two will give us that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hamza and Ndidi can work this time, if we go with all out pace up top ie Vardy, Barnes and Gray. Yes, I'd go for Gray in this one, rather than Perez. Tell him to keep running at Williams and Maguire. Then stick Youri in just behind to slip in the through passes.

I'd agree with this in that it also protects our defence a bit more and allows us to get behind their defence which is fragile at the moment.

The People's Hero Posted 25 July 2020 Share Posted 25 July 2020 Watching it at home tomorrow with three tvs set up and three sky boxes; got 4 wolves fans (I know, how in gods name do i know 4 wolves fans), 2 Leicester, 2 United and 2 Chelsea fans coming over. Our match and the wolves match on the TV as well as SSN to keep an eye on the relegation picture. Plenty of beer... and then try to enjoy it for what it is, knowing we as fans can't affect it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why its so bizarre I have 4 Wolves fans coming.. I play at a bowls club down here with 120 adult members. 6 of them are Wolves fans it turns out. I have no idea how. In happier times, we all go together to watch Maidstone United so it'll be good to be back together watching some football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually come to terms with all eventualities regardless and I think the most likely is Chelsea and United make the CL, but we and Wolves have had great seasons (so there will be some solace there). I'll be able to toast the success of the teams and celebrate with the winning fans at the end regardless. I know that sounds magnanimous etc now, but its a bit like 15/16 in that the most palpable feeling might just be relief when its done and who knows, I might end up feeling bitter about it all and just throwing them out!

The People's Hero Posted 25 July 2020 Share Posted 25 July 2020 I'm wondering about the number of households now and the current rules, so for any 'rona-police reading, I'm not in Maidstone at all; I live in a little village at the base of Mt Everest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here mate, disappointed with our form of late but still in with a massive chance, crazy to think that if you would have said 10 years ago "oh your gonna be 5th in the premier league going into the last day of the 19/20 season with a chance to finish in the top 4, oh and you become premier league champions in 15/16" no fan of ours would believe it, personally think a season in europa, bring in a few quality additions, have another go at the top 6 and maybe another cup run, would be another great season next year. Enjoy tomorrow whatever happens, at the end of the day its just football (or so my mrs tells me😂) either way I will be raising a glass to another season of european football, whichever competition that ends up being 🦊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to it as an event, because I've managed to hopefully make it more about a barbecue and lots of beer and a day of football... but I know during the actual matches I'll be terrible. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. I wish all directly involved at the club courage to get the job done and I wish all supporters serenity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

when_you're_smiling Posted 25 July 2020 Share Posted 25 July 2020 I don’t know why, but I’m hopeful. Yeah we’re going into it with near on our reserves’ defence against one of the best attacks. Yes they’re the type of team we struggle against and we’ve been terrible for months even when not missing six or seven players. But we’re there and in it. This is everything for us whereas they’ve still got the Europa (which they’re favourites for). I had been dreading it, but looking forward to it now and the potential of upsetting all those glory hunting melts. (Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen us play for nearly a week and have more faith in Wolves. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping Chelsea get whooped because I don't think we can win this game I agree that's why I think playing 2 DMs is needed so we can stop Bruno in those spaces in the hole and try and limit their creative players and use pace to get at their defence. We also need 2 DMs to protect our defence as its vulnerable with having to play 3/4 backup players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan to sure things up, concede 2 and a third in the 95th minute and Wolves to score in 96th beating Chelsea coming back from 2-0 down. Its Leicester - nothing is easy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How that man steals a living is beyond me, he is a disgrace to the word punditry. Lampard mentioned the back room staffs arrogance the other night but all these ex-Liverpool players working as pundits take it up a notch with their ‘if it’s not Liverpool it’s not’ attitude, with Nichol leading the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
