Time for a terrible preview article:

Albert Adomah and Robert Snodgrass can hurt teams with a flat back four, so they will be confident of taking on a back three.

If they can exploit and stretch the Wolves centre-back trio and nullify the opposition wing backs by forcing them back, they can definitely have a key say in the game.

So you need them to do about three things all at once, involving players who don't occupy the same areas. Seems simple. I didn't realise Albert Adomah was a mix of Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard.

Wolves have been working heavily on set-pieces all season after early frailties became clear.

It's a direct result of a complex zonal marking system adopted by the new coach.

No it isn't. We do have issues but it's not to do with zonal marking at all.

Wolves play with three central defenders and despite some wobbles, they do seem to be bedding down for a tough winter.

What does this even mean?

Neves has shades of Paul Scholes about him, he is comfortable on the ball and has a superb range of passing. He can also unleash a hell of a shot when needed - just ask Hull.

He looks a level above the Championship and I think that will be proven as the years roll on.

What Villa must do is out-muscle him, and out-work him.

So kick him and mark him, basically. Not that likely to work.

The infamous Molineux masses are known for their tremendous support and nervous moaning - in equal measures.

This is a ground that can be the most fearsome of places to play when things are going well, but when things aren't looking good - the fans are a moody bunch at best.

Actually I think you'll find that our fans have been very patient through the last two years of utter crap and the atmosphere has been excellent this season, even when we've been struggling within games.

And like Villa fans don't fucking moan :icon_lol: They're possibly the worst for it in the top two leagues, them or Everton.

Ill-informed shite. Lazy as fuck.

 

[Alan]

I do think that Molineux would be utterly poisonous if we were midtable right now.

 

[Tredman]

Nah, not with the style of football we are playing and the players we have.

 

[wordsleywolf]

Suppose the Mail is writing for a predominantly brummie readership so will have the dual editorial goal of being expected to big Villa up and not haveing to worry too much about pesky facts (or indeed common sense).

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

I do think that Molineux would be utterly poisonous if we were midtable right now.

Couldn't disagree more.

Every time I've been over the last couple of years the fans have been fantastic, even when Lambert took us to the brink of a relegation fight.

 

[Boozad]

I do think that Molineux would be utterly poisonous if we were midtable right now.

Nope. The fans appreciate what Fosun are trying to do and Molineux has been right behind them since they took over. Well, mostly.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Lets not pretend that the nervous moaning wouldn't happen if we werent doing so well. But we are and have been very patient since league 1 not including the pricks booing Batth. Watching Wolves is a very frustrating pastime or used to be anyway. We never even called for KJ sacking (thats patient).

 

[Lord Knows]

Nope. The fans appreciate what Fosun are trying to do and Molineux has been right behind them since they took over. Well, mostly.

The Express and Star were not very complementary about Fosun, Mendes and Nuno entering the club and were very pro Lambert and all things British. Only good results have quietened that voice.

That's because the E&S is run by racist, homophic bigots that bay to the click bait crowd.

True, But they do have influence over a fair number of Wolves supporters who swallow their every word making it more difficult than in should be for our new staff and players.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Interesting that you say that but I think that the E&S anti-Fosun stirring quieted because they realised it was going to cost them those readers who lapped everything. The world of Wolves has profoundly changed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They sway in the wind like a daffodil.

They started to change their tune a bit when we signed Neves and Jota because it would have been patently ridiculous to continue the same line when we're signing players like that. Why they couldn't join the dots and work out why signing such players wasn't really viable last year when Fosun weren't even in place until late July, I don't know.

Britney has even started to talk to me on Twitter.

 

[leedswolf]

Chop her.

 

[Kenny]

Looking like this will be a sell out or very close to one.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Looking like this will be a sell out or very close to one.

We selling the quadrant and the flanks of the Steve bull for this?

[b3h]

On TV as well. Good stuff

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

A Vile-supporting mate has said their tickets are £42 a pop.

Is this what we charge for 'Category A' games?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Er, no. Not even close.

It's £25/£30 in the Steve Bull Lower depending on Category A/B (which I'm not sure has even come into play this season yet).

If he's paying £42 then someone is ripping him off and he isn't buying directly from Villa.
