Barnsley (H) build up 13/09

[Jinky]

I would go with


................Ikeme
Iorfa....Batth....Stears.....CBJ
..........Coady.....Saiss
Costa......Prince........Cav
.............Bodvarsson

Can't see Saiss coming in from nowhere. Same team as yours but Price in for Tex. Wouldn't surprise me if Wallace gets a run out for one of Cav/Costa this evening either.

 

[The Bear]

Saiss will be on the bench I reckon.

 

[Lycan]

I think wolfman's team might not be far off our best team for the bigger games if Coady can keep his form up (Costa/Teixeira interchangeable). Has a nice balance to it.

 

[YoungWolf]

Can't see Costa AND Cav playing. Both still probably a bit off full fitness and would be an injury risk I think. Though if they do play they definitely wouldn't play on the weekend. As Walter says, August was essentially our pre-season. As the season goes on I think he will still want to rotate but not to the extent that he has done so far. We will need a consistent core of players playing.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Mason & Bodvarsson from the start & Wallace probably on for one of Cavaleiro or Costa (probably the former)

Would expect Iorfa back for eitherDoherty or Borthwick-Jackson. Dicko ready for the bench yet? I know he's not played a full 90 yet, but won't need to from the bench.

Walter's thoughts

Much has been made of team rotation , but clearly from this he's not really going to change as much every time - so possibly 3 or 4 this time

 

[Kenny]

I think the first time we will see Dicko in the 1st team is the Cup game v Newcastle, probably on the bench. I would expect John and Saiss to also make their first starts in that game.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Dicko is training with the under 23's so I expect he'll first begin training with the seniors and then be on the bench.

 

[LG Wolf]

I see nobody has mentioned Ola John at all. Looks increasingly likely he was a 'favour' signing for Jorge Mendes.

 

[Jinky]

I see nobody has mentioned Ola John at all. Looks increasingly likely he was a 'favour' signing for Jorge Mendes.

He's a good player and has had a lot of unfair stick on here. Had he not been at Reading last season and had been somewhere a little more glamorous, people would have been a lot more excited.

He'll still have a big part to play this season. But in terms of the here and now, he's lacking match fitness by the sounds of it.

 

[Jamwolf]

I see nobody has mentioned Ola John at all. Looks increasingly likely he was a 'favour' signing for Jorge Mendes.

If Edwards is in tonight's squad, we will do no good tonight. Apart from that, I don't care if the cleaning lady plays.

We need a win tonight, and 3 or 4 goals, to get our season moving.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not writing a preview blog for this one so I'll stick my preferred team here (and I'll assume for now that Silvio, Dicko and Saiss aren't ready to play a part):

-------------------------Ikeme---------------------

Iorfa-----------Batth---------Stearman----Borthwick-Jackson

------------------------Coady---------------------

-------------Oniangue--------Price------------------

----Cavaleiro-------Bodvarsson-------Mason-------

Subs: Lonergan, Doherty, Hause, Saville, Teixeira, Wallace, Costa

 

[YoungWolf]

I'd like that. Reckon Doc and Wallace will be in for CBJ amd Cav though

 

[Dinowolf]

Not writing a preview blog for this one so I'll stick my preferred team here (and I'll assume for now that Silvio, Dicko and Saiss aren't ready to play a part):

-------------------------Ikeme---------------------

Iorfa-----------Batth---------Stearman----Borthwick-Jackson

------------------------Coady---------------------

-------------Oniangue--------Price------------------

----Cavaleiro-------Bodvarsson-------Mason-------

Subs: Lonergan, Doherty, Hause, Saville, Teixeira, Wallace, Costa

Agree with this side.

 

[Johnny75]

I'd switch Mason and Cav but DW's team for me.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

We need Jon Dadi from the start. He has already shown his quality and influence. Coadys playing well so let's hope that continues. I would put money on Dangerous Dave having some part to play tonight. Let's hope for a performance. 3 -1 to us.

 

[Aikiwolf]

I would play Doherty on the left, though if CBJ started I wouldn't be disappointed. I would be disappointed if Iorfa wasn't playing though, there is no way Doherty is a better right back than Iorfa! (and CBJ will be a better left back eventually)

Bodvarsson is a must start, and both Coady and Mason played well enough in the previous match to deserve a start tonight. I'd probably play Mason instead of Tex though it depends on the fitness of the new guys

--------- Ikeme------------

Iorfa Batth Stears Doc

----- Coady Prince--------

Costa---Mason---Cavaleiro

------ Bodvarsson-----------

 

[ROVERT47]

How's the drainage at Molineux?

 

[Kenny]

Pretty good normally

 

[ROVERT47]

Needs to be, it's like the end of the world here 3 miles from town.

 

[Lycan]

Forecast looks ok for 7-10.
