Bournemouth (H) 18/2: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tony Towner]

Yes

 

[Alan]

Cheers. I'll drop the fruit references, too (although I'm not happy about it)!

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Yes it is. 1 game. Sorry, very late post...

 

[Tony Towner]

Always makes me smile when it's clear who has you on ignore

 

[HanDoJin]

I have a horrible feeling we will lose this one - nothing to back that up though.

3-4 decades of supporting Wolves?

 

[The Bear]

Cheers. I'll drop the fruit references, too (although I'm not happy about it)!

Unfortunately, your fruit reference was, ironically, a complete lemon.

 

[BillyDee]

I thought it was quite sharp...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Don’t be bitter

 

[Alan]

Didn’t have enough appeel, etc

 

[Sniffer]

That’s a relief as I thought that there’s not much further to go with the related puns. Get yourself over to Spotify and get onto Bananramas back catalogue and you can have hours of fun with @BillyDee when Nathan pops up elsewhere.

Oh and Deutsch’s team will do for me.

 

[StuardoWulf]

We'll probably go 12th if we win, Palace could get a point at Brentford and stay above, but Leicester and Forest are up against it.

So come on you Wolves

 

[DogWeasel]

DW's team but i think Kilman will play for some fucking reason.

 

[Jinky]

For some reason I’m not convinced he’ll start with Adama. I wouldn’t be surprised to see RAN start further forward with Hugo coming back in at LB. Don’t see him dropping Kilman either.

 

[YoungWolf]

Be interesting to see what he does with Kilman. Can’t keep giving away a big chance per game, not in a relegation battle.

 

[Tredman]

I trust JL but really don't get playing Kilman - Left & right foot might be preferable, but not when the LCB is pulling the entire defence down

 

[AndyWolves]

I did wonder if maybe JL thought Kilman's passing was better but looking at the stats Collins is better, especially when it comes to mid & long passes.

Stats can obviously be misleading though.

 

[Deano]

I'd play Dawson and Collins as well on Saturday and I don't think Kilman has been especially great, I think the decision whether to play Kilman or Collins is made to sound much more clear cut than it is though. It's not like Collins didn't make some pretty bad errors when he was in the team himself. I actually think Bueno over RAN is a much easier decision - I think Bueno is a better left back and has played the better of the 2 in that position for a good while.

Agree with all of that. But I do think RAN looked quite promising in a more advanced role earlier in the season. Obviously Podence is the first pick, if he's fit.

 

[Sniffer]

Both Bueno and Ait Nouri seem to have a good competition going on at left back, each time one comes in/on for the other they seem to up their game.

AIt Nouri did OK when further forward but we have enough options to choose from before that needs to happen

Neto when fit rather than Podence, which shouldn't be too long now.
