Crusaders (A) 2nd Leg Build up and Matchday Thread

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Crusaders tickets arrived today, booked half day off work, absolutely buzzing my tits off for Thursday!

Hope the stadium is not segregated, so we can wander over to the Wolves fans, like at Bray or Bohemians

Think UEFA games require segratated areas

It is defo segregated. The 541 tickets is an end stand.

 

[Tom Hark]

Change the thread title if we're not having a new one for Thursday?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

it's still the build up. I am sure it will get changed on the day

Don’t know if this at all means anything, but Wolves posted a video of Jota scoring. Bennett was playing defense alongside Miranda, Ruddy, and Perry in midfield. Thought possibly might mean Vallejo was playing with the first XI in Bennett’s place, but couldn’t really see enough to determine if they were divided that way.

John Ruddy playing in midfield? I hope that's not a secret plan to unlock the Crusaders defence. :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Got an assist vs Bolton a couple of years ago. Dave Edwards used to average about one a season too and he played every game in midfield.

After viewing further video, definitely looks this way. He’s alongside Coady and Boly with at least Moutinho, Jonny and Jota on his side as well. I reckon we’ll see him start Thursday.

Didn't Ruddy assist Jota last season? Or was it the champ

Home end will be mainly Wolves by the looks of things anyway.

Perry in midfield

Lol you said "Bennett was playing defense alongside Miranda, Ruddy, and Perry in midfield"

That was home v Bolton in the Championship.

Dave Edward's to Moutinho in midfield. Sometimes it's worth checking how far we've progressed.

Anybody fancy The Cleveland. I assume they will be showing it?

Would love to but not an option this week. Squeeze is away on bizz all week in Cologne so I need to dog sit and try and avoid the kids killing each other.

 

[The Bear]

Not too bothered about Vallejo starting. I doubt we'll see much of him in action against Crusaders.

 

[Tony Towner]

As the EL is our pre season, realistically the two new guys, Raul and Saiss have to play. Bennett, Neves, MGW and Jota won't would be my guess unless Cutrone isn't ready
