Sure I remember Brendan saying he'd not torn anything just that he felt it tightening up. apparently it was a low grade tear which makes it all the more surprising that he’s back in training ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully VARdy misses this one from our perspective. I have no idea if he'll stick with a back four or go back to a three. Hopefully the former as it allows us to get more men in attack. Sorry, what are you implying here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 Have we ever had an enjoyable game against Wolves? Even the 4-3 ended up being an absolute gut wrenching defeat despite being a decent game. They're almost always really dull and scrappy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 Winless in our last 5 games at Molineux (including the League Cup draw, which we admittedly won on pens). Not an especially happy hunting ground for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brendan said Ndidi's recovery is slightly behind Vardy. I doubt either will start. Could both be on the bench, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 Same as the first half against Fulham for me. A back five with Mendy wasn't pleasant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that nothing happened that was interesting, but being 2 up at a toothless team was the opportunity to shut up shop without alarm, and that was done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 1-1 draw, which wouldn't be a bad result. Despite being not in the best form they are always a well-drilled team and tough to break down. Even in the first game despite playing really well for large chunks of the game we only ever looked like scoring from the penalty spot. But if Maddison and Tielemans turn up then we can beat anyone, and even if we only get 30 minutes of Vardy, that's enough to pose a problem for anyone.

If we have Wilf back, it might make the difference too. Pretty sure the whole team were blowing by the end of the home match... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I couldn't understand that either, I presumed such thing's took several weeks to heal so as not to make them worse? Just hope that we don't risk him too soon again. I suppose they're the experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winteriscoming Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 Albrighton for Perez. Other than that same side as against Fulham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the whole team were blowing by the end of the home match... Not having Praet could be an issue though. Last time round we went 343 to match their shape and didn't play Barnes, Under or Albrighton, instead having Praet, Maddison and Tielemans. And for me it worked, as Maddison and Praet drifted through the lines of their low block which they are very good at. Recently Wolves have shifted to a 4 at the back so it will be interesting to see if they keep that system against us. If they do, having Harvey Barnes up against Nelson Semedo is a tantalising prospect. I also think that Moutinho despite being a class player on his day these days doesn't have the legs and Tielemans will dictate the middle if they are only playing him and Neves in the middle of the park. For that reason I think they will change their system back to a 343 against us, and I could see us modify our formation during the game like we have done a few times during the season already if they do so and it's not going our way. That said 4141 with Soyuncu, Ricardo, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy, Ndidi can beat anyone if they turn up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 I'd feel relatively confident with Vardy and Ndidi starting, but if they do, I'll have brown pants from just watching them break into a jog. I'd play the long game and keep them in light training until Liverpool. Recovering from tears and operations in 2 weeks sounds dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 I'd have Wilf and Vardy on the bench for the next 2 games and only use them if necessary and them bring them back all guns blazing against Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 Barnes was very subdued last night so hoping for a big game sunday. Nice to see Riccy back doing what he does and linked up nicely with Perez. Big game again, they have been poor but remain a solid side on paper. Hope the players can smell this opportunity of getting a foothold in top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 4 February 2021 Share Posted 4 February 2021 They will have renewed confidence after their win. They have skilful players and some raw power and pace in Traore of course. A win will do whatever it takes to build on last night and keep pressure on the Manchester clubs. If Ndidi is back that would be great. Iheanacho did a job last night and if Jamie needs more time so he's fully recovered, then hope we give it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin has also developed physically and confidence wise. I also think he has an excellent footballing brain as evidenced by his run and goal last night. So yes, more confident there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
