Match Thread Wolverhampton Wanderers v The Mighty Blades

[diode_blade]

After reading Roys view from, the Wolves fans seem to have the same supply of arrogant deluded pills that our oinky neighbours had before the derby at pigsboro...

Reckon Wolves will drop their bollox against us. UTB

excited to see holmes, but still can't believe duffy isn't in

Still got him on the bench though. I'd be worried if he wasn't in the squad at all.

 

[EmleyMoorBlade]

Let’s hope the man bun performs

 

[Esablade]

Thought we might go with one up tonight...hope Wilson plays better than last time out.
UTB!

 

[Woodwardfan]

I expect Holmes to play 'No.10' with Clarke alone up front.

Central midfield Fleck, Leonard with Evans and Lundstram anchoring. Usual wing backs though Lafferty might play.

Just maybe Wilson alone up front.

Strong team for anybody to break down unless we go 'gung-ho'. Wolves fans hope we do according to their views on Roy's thread.

Any number of options for last 20 minutes.

Just shows Wilder is bolder than me.

We are going at them!!

 

[Woodwardfan]

I just can't fathom how people expect us to create anything whilst leaving Duffy out the side.

Why leave your best player out the side? Odd.

Wilder thinks Holmes is our best player ( in that position anyway).

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Attacking.line-up!

 

[robbiez666]

I was concerned we might be on the end of a tonking tonight. However, the attacking ploy might work, the last thing we want to do is let them come at us. On the other hand it could go horribly wrong/

However, I'm shocked that Holmes has just come in and unseated our best player. wtf is that all about?!

 

[FinchleyBlade]

I really can't understand what Duffy has meant to have done to deserve being dropped. Seems incredibly harsh.

 

[Dnblade]

Well we certainly aren't just coming to sit back and nick a point with that line up.
ATTACK!

 

[FriethBlade]

I really can't understand what Duffy has meant to have done to deserve being dropped. Seems incredibly harsh.

Agreed, I thought he'd been rested for the Villa game and would play today.

 

[Blade58]

Nowt to lose

Just have a go at them

We've beaten them once, so who knows?

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Lafferty -> Stevens
Billy -> Leon
Jake Wright -> Stearman
Lundy -> Lee Evans
Duffy -> Holmes

Wilder doesn't fuck about, basically.

Duffy just feels very similar to the Jake Wright getting discarded for Stearman scenario. And who can say, now that Stearman's bedded in, that it wasn't the right call?

On the other hand though, it might just be "horses for courses" for this particular game, now we've got an expanded squad.

 

[fuerstenberger]

Not normally superstitious but I do worry about the word 'yet'. In a few interviews after the Villa game, CW et al said, " no one has tonked us yet". They used the word yet, therefore I am fearful for us in this one.

 

[BigBed]

Duffy should be our impact sub tonight!

 

[Dnblade]

I bet most teams don't go there and give it a go this season like I'm sure we will.
Hopefully we get a result...looking forward to seeing what Holmes can do.

 

[Lawrence]

Haaawww Chris what yer doing Wilson? Homes? No Duff? I really hope I’m massively wrong... COME ON BLADES!

Agree Alf, in short he manages. Not sure if the mood music about Duffy is correct, but it's something all players need to accept and fight for a position.

 

[BushBlade]

Can someone tell me the last time Duffy played well in two consecutive games?

 

[SB_90]

Of course id like duffy in starting line up was brilliant only problem is that teams like preston are doubling up on him. For me, this regardless Of the side put out Wolves is going to be really tough. Just look at midfield & forwards in that starting xi they cost £50m neves 15.8m cavleiro 7m jota 14m costa 13m & then because thats not enough a 10m striker on the bench. There are premier league teams that dont have this quality of squad

But if im being optimstic We more than matched villa on tuesday we will create chances we just have to take them. Which we struggle to do & be more 1st half than weir like 2nd half

 

[FriethBlade]

Joke all these goals going in from distance

 

[Nade]

That was nobody's mistake. It was a class finish.

 

[RMBlade]

Joke all these goals going in from distance

I think Evans should have closed him down. Neves has been scoring those sorts of goals all season.

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Another Worldy

 

[FriethBlade]

Class finish.. but nobody within 5 yards of him

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Every single game.

No closing down again.
