[Bladesthorpe]

To early.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

There's a Star Man running down the wing

So we get all the big lads in at the back and they leave Jimenez on the bench!

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Looks like the team/set up many were calling for…

UTB.

 

[Red Wing Blade]

I don't think there's any formation or line up that Wilder could put out today that would convince me that we're likely to win today. Starting Choudhury again doesn't help build optimism.

 

[dellasthunderbolt]

Like the formation but don’t like Choudhury and McCallum as wing backs. Seriki and Burrows in this setup would be awesome.

 

[Blood Red]

Twenty shots for Wolves.
2-1 win for United.

 

[Æthelstan]

McGuinness in right back according to BBC sport. That can't be right can it?

 

[espoo blade]

Twenty shots for Wolves.
2-1 win for United.

Would definitely take that!

 

[Nedski]

I just cannot understand the Choudhury thing. He's been crap at right back, shows no signs of any defensive or attacking awareness (although I'll give him some credit for the block on the line), no pace, but somehow in Wilder's head this makes a him the perfect wingback?

Plus Wilder is reverting back to the "you played well, scored a goal, put yourself about the pitch, so now you're on the bench Tom" tactics he loved to do last season, usually with Brooks.

This could be one of those ridiculous lineups that somehow ends up ridiculously effective which happens sometimes with him, but I feel like the depressing lack of pace throughout the entire team means we'll be sitting deep for 90 minutes and we'll break the record for most long balls in a game, no shots on target, 0-3 loss. Wolves with 557 passes and us with 176.

Wilder would have a stroke if our teamsheet looked like that.

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

All about the midfield 3 of Peck, Blaster and Phillips for me. If those 3 get a strangle hold of the game then it could be a really good performance today.

 

[YES Blade]

Like the formation but don’t like Choudhury and McCallum as wing backs. Seriki and Burrows in this setup would be awesome.

Every time I see Choudhury in the starting lineup I’m left wondering why we signed him. Has he ever played wing back before?

 

[Melbourne Blade]

"Phillips is nowhere near starting and the football club 'loves working' with Cannon".

Bluff or shit tactics?

 

[YES Blade]

Could it be 4-3-2-1? The Christmas tree?

Tanganga - McGuinness - Kitching - McCallum
Choudhury - Phillips - Blaster
Peck - BBD
Bamford

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

To me,almost the strongest team available,apart from the right back position,lets see. Hopefully the ball doesn’t go into orbit with more or less a lone striker.

 

[metalblade]

I think Wolves will be as confused as the rest of us seeing that line up 352, 532, 433 I doubt it will be a 442 but who the flick knows, it might just work

Pick the players you want to play then worry about the formation and tactics?

 

[Blacksea]

Basically a rerun of Norwich,Boro showed yesterday that if you have the ammo to set about Norwich,they concede.
Birmingham showed last week if you have some muscle and mobility,Wolves can be put on the back foot as well.... Unfortunately for us....nope

 

[sportsmanblade]

5 at the back UTB

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Back 4. Kitching left back.

Tanganga - McGuinness - Kitching - McCallum

Peck - BBD
Bamford

Already seeing Christmas bollocks in shops so it wun't surprise me.

 

[Keen Blade]

Fortunately I've got plenty of jobs to do at home before disappearing to the Greek islands for the rest of the month ,
How fortunate that I've also sacked Sky.
My ST is only a right , not an obligation to waste a day driving over to suffer a crap product.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

They won't in my view
