Match Day Wolves vs Bristol City

[markwwfc1992]

Bristol City have been playing well, and are due something at Molineux. Probably draw this game 1-1.

Ruddy
Coady - Miranda - Batth
Doherty ----------------------------- Vinagre
Neves - N'Diaye
Cav' ------------------- Jota

This is the time we're most unlikely to get anything at Molineux in recent years other than the 3-1 when you walked League One.

Fielding
Vyner Wright Baker Bryan
Brownhill Smith Pack Paterson
Reid Taylor
​

That's what I'd go for, Wright back in for Flint (harsh as he was excellent yesterday, but Wright has been outstanding this season and is the club captain), Pack back in for O'Dowda which means Brownhill can go out wide, he was good in the middle yesterday but he's better offensively and most importantly defensively than O'Dowda is, and then Taylor (or Leko) for Diedhiou who hasn't really impressed just yet. Leko changed the game when he came on, looks a real handful with his pace and skill.

Can't see anything other than a home win as always when we play at Molineux, but I thought we'd lose yesterday as well.

Decided to come up for it Mark after the result at Reading.

Wolves 2-1 City

(Bontani 58', Saiss 72') (Leko 86')

650 away fans (shit effort).

If you stop us from playing you will get something for sure. Cardiff did it to great effect, and completely nullified us. As good as the football is we are playing at the moment, I'm not convinced we have a plan B to teams that come here to defend. We're also still wasteful with our chances, and really should have scored more on Saturday (although to be fair Archer in the Millwall goal was excellent).

Flint will score, a slightly better version of Danny Batth

Why Vyner? He got tore a new one at Reading by Sone Aluko or Moudou Barrow (can't remember which one it was).

For years we've always gone away from home without a game plan and tried to play like the home side in this division and it's never worked, but in our first three away games we've looked comfortable without the ball (apart from 45 mins against Brentford) and willing just to grab a goal and dig in. I love it, we haven't done it since the GJ days. We try and silence the home crowd and slow the game up, it's less pretty to watch but I honestly couldn't care less, it's what's required in this league to be a half decent side. Build our side on clean sheets, I said on 80 minutes yesterday to my mate I went with I'd be well happy with this result, but we went one better.

Flint's quality doubt he'll play though.

Well who else is there?

Forgot about Pisano's injury... Would rather Korey there then Vyner though still. Especially against a team like Wolves, I wouldn't mind if we played vyner against the likes of Burton, Millwall, Bolton, though

Millwall played us off the park and Pisano played.

Sorry for the spoiler but Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader is the same person

Maybe give R2D2 a run (roll) out...

The beauty of it. Is it against the rules? LOL

R2D2 has a groin strain.

Zenga was right all along, Luke Skywalker says Wolves are massive in California, everyone has heard of them.

Oh.. you didn't mean the animal?

If Steve Bull is playing, we are screwed. I still have nightmares about him and David Kelly.

Adding to our growing list of celebrity fans, Michael Jackson's brother Tito is coming to the match tonight. No idea why though...

 

[JoshBCFC]

Millwall played us off the park and Pisano played.

Didn't see the Millwall game so can't really comment in that regard

 

[JJH]

Meant to piss it down in Wolverhampton tonight, those pesky foreigners Wolves have aren't gonna have much fun!!!

 

[markwwfc1992]

It always pisses it down in Wolverhampton to be fair. I'm going to be drenched...

I wanted to be able to say “I’ll be there” but sadly I can’t get it together to travel up to the match tonight. So here’s the ABC for what’s going to happen tonight. The things I do for you, eh? What you don’t know about Wolves is that maybe tomorrow we will have the perfect team, but for now we’ll make do with what we have. As you watch the last light disappear from that corner of the sky, you are welcome at Molineux: known as the acropolis of north-central Wolverhampton. Make sure you don't forget your ticket or you'll be lookin' through the windows.

In goal, John Ruddy. We reckon it’s the love you save, but it’s also about the clean sheets. In front of him, three across. Danny Batth will probably start. He keeps saying he’s going back to India. Na. He’s going to stay at Molineux. He’ll be the one screaming “I want you back!” at Doherty. In the middle, we should see Conor Coady, the boogie man for many of the opposition so far this season. (If Bristol City get a penalty, you can blame it on the boogie, certainly). On the left, maybe a runout for Deslandes with Boly still injured. Despite being a dreamer, he did well at St Marys in the cup and links brilliantly with Ruben Vinagre, our dancing machine on the left wing; you could see Vinagre saying “Please come back to me” to him throughout the game.

In the middle, I can see Neves being given a break for this match, with Jack Price being given a chance alongside Saiss, or maybe Marshall. While Neves passing has created a state of shock going forward, Saiss is as classy and is guaranteed to get his body in the way in defence. In terms of spending on world-class midfielders, Wolves can show you the way to go. Out on the wide right hopefully Doherty will be the life of the party like he was on Saturday, providing a constant flow of crosses

Up front there’s nothin’ that compares to Diogo Jota right now He’s going places. He’s probably mama’s pearl back in Portugal. He’s not just the little bitty pretty one, either: he’ll score 20 this season, for sure. Alongside maybe we’ll see Bonatini, although he’s been clearly tired by the pace of the Championship, so we might see another runout for Enobakhare. He’s fast so if it is raining, as forecast, you’ll only see reflections in the puddles. (And if it is raining, City fans are going to get wet in the lower Steve Bull, but you could always shake your body down to the ground.)

Gotta say I'm happy with Jeff Shi, our sugar daddy. It really does feel as if Santa Claus is coming to town.

So that’s the possible Wolves line up tonight. Even though you’ve gone (and remember that when you’re losing on a wet Tuesday night in Wolverhampton, time waits for no-one), we’ll probably make late substitutions: Ivan Cavaleiro (1,2,3,4,5…) who’s definitely been the lovely one up front as sub. His destiny may be way beyond Wolves. At least we no longer have the torture of waiting for an inspiring substitution only to see Lee Evans getting his kit off.

So the result. I’ve already suggested a 1-0 win for us or 1-1. I can’t say it will be a thriller. But let's wait and see. If you aren’t already on the way, you could walk right now. And, ummm, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus? Can you feel it? LOL. No, it's hi ho Wolverhampton. Right era, wrong legend.

 

[markwwfc1992]

How long did it take you to come up with that? Impressive

 

[TomPNE94]

Far too much time on your hands.

 

[HertsWolf]

37 + 1. Can anyone beat it? My bad.

Long commute.

 

[City169]

Im an optimist compared to the other City fans here and cant see anything other than a Wolves win.

Shite record there and academy kiddie at RB (I do like Vyner, but he will have a long night).

Pisano out means CO'D will start RM as he offers the most defensively out of our wingers, so should help Vyner out a bit.

Cant help but feel our way of playing will suit Wolves, so hopefully the bad weather (meant to be 50+ mph winds apparently) will fuck things for both teams and we can nick a point
