Barnsley v Wolves: Matchday Thread

[Stan Hullis]

It's not a hellhole :icon_lol:

It is just a basic leisure centre with a shitty bar but there is nothing wrong with it! I'll be driving so will probably arrive fairly late as there isn't much drinking to be done!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a hellhole if you have thousands of Wolves fans there and it's (technically at least) the only game in town. I'm not a massive fan of a 25 minute queue to get a warm pint of Fosters in a plastic glass.

I'm sure it's perfectly fine if you pop down on a random Tuesday afternoon when there's three blokes and a whippet in there...

 

[Langers]

Surely the sensible thing is just do have a few beers in Sheffield before the game?

Anyway, I'd go with:

Ruddy; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Neves, Saiss, Douglas; Cavaleiro, Bonatini, Jota.

Subs: Norris, Hause, Vinagre, N'Diaye, Gibbs-White, Costa, Mir

That XI is pretty awesome, but just look at the bench. Insane for the 2nd tier.

 

[Trips]

Vinagre will be suspended won't he?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, Vinagre is unavailable now until Ipswich/Notts County (whoever we end up playing on the 27th).

 

[Langers]

So he is - forget about that.

I'm really excited about 4.7k wolves fans in the leisure centre bar.... The smell of chlorine really adds to the lukewarm pint in a plastic glass!

 

[Tony Towner]

I think I'll drink in Derby, classily take a few cans on the train for just over an hour and then do the 10 minute walk to the ground.

 

[playtheace]

Wouldn't it be great if there was a spontaneous keep fit class in the leisure centre, centered around holding a warm pint of lager.

 

[big mean bunny]

Another local game to me I am missing due to being back im Northamptonshire. Have had poor luck this year and will still never have been to Oakwell despite closing in on 15 years in South Yorkshire now.

Exactly what we’re doing, then jumping on train at 2'ish. It’s the only option (and the preferable one).

Team picks itself apart from the forward. I’d go with Leo - he’s due a goal or two.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Win this and we can be 22 points clear of Sheff Utd with goal difference. 6 weeks ago they were our nearest rivals!

 

[Tom Hark]

Featured game on C5, so those not going should still be able to get a good view, as it were.

 

[Jinky]

Featured game on C5, so those not going should still be able to get a good view, as it were.

And explains why it’s not on WolvesTV.

 

[The Bear]

It's definitely on WolvesTV.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If it is the featured game on C5 then they are obliged not to show it on WolvesTV

 

[The Bear]

Then it's obviously not on Ch5. Or someone at Wolves has screwed up.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That's what I am thinking. One of the two must be wrong. It either isn't the featured game, or the decision to make it such post dates the article listing it as available for WolvesTV, which needs adjusting. Time will tell I guess.

 

[The Bear]

They wouldn't have left it this late to not show it. People will have already bought it. Site says next games not available are Swansea in the cup and Sheff Utd which is on Sky.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

But if Channel 5 then make the decision very late, I am not sure where we stand. Do we have to reimburse those who have paid? Or do we show it and say "ya boo sucks" to Channel 5? I honestly don't know.
