Wolves Pre-Match Thread

[Rob Clarke]

Let's hope Costa doesn't get his first goal for them. Last season they only had two shots on target and still beat us 2-1. We are due a change of fortune at Molineux. A real 6 pointer must surely motivate us for this game.

Surely another must win, need to be beating those teams around us

If we win this we’ll be out the relegation zone, and Wolves are having a shocker. Need to show up for this!!!

Hope the players aren't too fatigued. Good to have Maddison back. 

It'll be good to have a rested Madders too. One of the benefits of the suspension praps.

 

I too reckon KDH could do with a rest, he ran himself into the ground last night. I know he's young and fit etc, and obviously keen to start, but he needs down time too. I think he gets more error prone the more tired he gets too (understandably, no criticism) Have him on the bench and give him 30 minutes maybe. 

 

Praet should be good to start, and Youri always looked shagged out, but we also have Soumare and Mendy. We should be ok.

 

I've no idea if Evans will be ready or not, I'm assuming not, but I'm okay with the same CB pairing, Amartey did ok. And we know Cags might as well stay at home and play Nintendo or something, he's not playing again.

 

Vardy did well I thought. Not his usual (is it usual now?) threat but his general involvement and pressing. Overdid the clever back heals but whatever. Daka's slowly getting to grips with both us and life in the Prem, he certainly needs more game time. I'd probably start him but I'm easy, and Vardy relishes these matches!

Levi Porter last gasp winner apparently!

I can't remember that

 

Then again I sort of forget a lot of stuff from that era!

Ah mince, the local women's team are playing at the same time. That's given me a real dilemma. I always enjoy watching them; their spirit and enthusiasm is infectious... whereas we can be a shower of shit and that just pisses me off for days.

Ward

 

Castagne Amartey Faes Justin

Rodgers has been consistently poor at rotating his squad effectively throughout his tenure here with negative consequences; injuries, loss of form/motivation of those overused, loss of confidence and fitness of those frozen out. If he improves his woeful record in this regard our form will improve.  

[South Shire Fox]

Cant see anything other then a defeat here unfortunately. Diego Costa to bully us then the pace in their team to tear us apart. Plus our away form is abysmal

His average rating on WhoScored in the 4 games he's played so far is a lowly 6.10.

 

Absolutely nailed on to get at least a brace against us & probably get someone sent off

Costa has been dogshit every time I've seen him play this season.

 

Defo scoring against us.

Haha not so much that I expect him to dominate Faes. Just how aggressively both play I could see it kicking off at some point

 

Also Costa definitely takes advantage of one of the many gifts we will provide them on sunday haha.

That's probably what I'd go with.

 

I think HDK needs a rest although I reckon it will be unchanged apart from madders in for Preat which in turn will make us lose that balance we saw yesterday imo.

Oh absolutely, its going to be good tussle for sure mate. If Costa is clever he'll play off Amartey and get more joy from him. 

 

Do wolves play with a flat back 4 now as opposed to 5. 

 

 

[Lambert09]

I had a dream i put ward back in my fantasy team but we lost 4-1 and diego costa got a hattrick. 

 

It does seem like he is the exact type of player that we would struggle against. 

 

I also absolutely despise playing against adama… despite not being very good he’s not healthy for your heart

From the recent matches I've seen from him, Costa looks a shadow of his former self.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

2-3 win for us. I can feel it in my waters.

Well he is about to play us, I wouldn’t look into that too much haha 

[David Hankey]

Looking at their scoring record this season I don't think LCFC have to much to worry about. 0-1, Vardy, he has to score at some point.

These should be there for taking. We need to actually build on the last result. Unlike we did after the Forest game. 
 

 

[Beachyboy]

Of the teams that were in the premiership last season we have played 17 games since October 24th 2021 away. Our record reads W0 L12 D 5, 5 points away in a year if you take the relegated teams away, we need to match that record in our next 3 weeks before the break.

Daka will start this. Vardy looked knackered when he came off.

[taupe]

I've decided, I'm going to watch the local women's team on Sunday. Are there any reliable sources of replays or highlights? And looking for more than 5 minutes on yt etc.
