Leeds (A) 6/8/22 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[MARKakaJIM]

Starting 11 is alright, should be good enough to beat Leeds but that bench has absolutely no game changing quality on.

About par for the last 3 years then.

 

[Tuco]

I hope that starting lineup is seriously fit because if we’re not winning games comfortably after an hour they are going to be getting plenty of minutes this season.

Anyone would think they announced the start of the season last week because it looks like we knew nothing about it.

I would sack sellars for the state of the bench. Genuinely. Imagine how much money he is on and he allows that.

Problems been there longer than Sellars tbf.

I knew parts of Shifnal were posh but.........

No it’s gone downhill which why I fit in now, I’m about 2k miles away in Cyprus, sipping on a cold beer whilst listening on my phone

Off to the pub for my first meet-up with what must be a small contingent of Wolves' supporters here in the QC.

Shout outs to @Del Woppio for bringing it to my attention. Fingers crossed I don't make a complete fool of myself!

 

[Del Woppio]

As long as you keep shtum when Neves hits the bar from thirty yards out, you stand half a chance

Not sure. Always intentionally had a small squad but never this bad

Yeah, big difference between a small squad and turning the bench into a glorified "bring your kid to work" day.

Our 5th consecutive season in the Premier League and 7 out of our 9 subs are U23s.

Embarrassing and utterly pathetic stuff.

 

[Lupo]

Daz Hale said the bench looks like the cast of Grange Hill

 

[The Bear]

If we don't sign anither CM then we'll look like complete chumps for turning Palinha away.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Not sure. Always intentionally had a small squad but never this bad

For balance, 2-2 v Everton opening day of 2018/19. Not sure there's an incredible difference between the two.

Just had a quick look on Leeds forum. Vast majority have gone for a Leeds win in their score predictor. Match day thread some worries of a slow back line coupled with trying to play a high line, worries over new faces and the rest not being great, and similar to us, not much off the bench.

 

[The Bear]

Donk with a well anticipated header won, leading to a Podence shot from range.

 

[Del Woppio]

Playing into a marked fullback who has no options still crucial to our strategy then

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Get in!

 

[Del Woppio]

Gooooooooollllllll

Fair play, what a ball from Neves, lovely play and cross by Neto, good header back from Hwang and then maybe a fortuitous volley but get innnnn

 

[AndyWolves]

We'll bugger me!

 

[The Bear]

Ooosh. Podence goal. Bit scrappy finish but 1-0.

 

[Jinky]

GET IN!!!! Cooooooooome on!
