Leicester City away; Build up thread

[Johnny75]

That’s what I’m hoping is the way it goes - rather than the travel hindering us. As we go on it will become more difficult but our pre season preparation has been very good.

I keep reading about travel and what happened to previous 7th placed teams.

We have a spine of a squad made up of players who have played European football. Patricio. Moutinho and Raul are all used to this. Jota, Neves, Cutrone and Jesus have also been in this situation before and I'm sure it won't make a differenceto them.

Most importantly we have a manager who is used to this too and he will know how to prepare accordingly. I don't think it will be a big deal at all.

 

[Del Woppio]

I think if we're going the same eleven Thursday Sunday Thursday Sunday for 5-6 weeks it might cause us problems. Next Thursday we can make 5-6 changes though, and providing we're no worse than level on the night at half time, end up with 8 players on the pitch that aren't going to start against united

 

[Premier Quality]

We also played mid week games in the championship without massive issues. I’m hopeful we can pull off a good result today - come on the Wolves!!

 

[PuntsWolf]

Speaking to some Leicester fans on the train they’ll take a draw too. Think we are Very equal In every department.

 

[Tom Hark]

I honestly expect us to be capable of winning every game we play now. We won't, of course, but it's a great feeling to have, when not so long back in the prem it was 'How many are we going to lose by?'. We've come such a long way.

Neto in travelling squad of 20. Assuming other spare player is 3rd keeper

 

[Norman Deeley]

Neto in travelling squad of 20. Assuming other spare player is 3rd keeper

That's good - suggests we might see him on Thursday

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nerves are kicking in now...

 

[Jinky]

Nuno will go full strength today, knowing he can rest a few of them on Thursday. Doc in at RWB & Jonny at LWB. Rest of the side picks itself.

I reckon we’ll win. 2-1 Wolves.

 

[Boozad]

If Doherty plays then our medical team are miracle workers.

 

[YoungWolf]

Think it will be Jonny on the right and Vinagre left. Doc didn't look fit to me yet.

Prediction: Someone to complain that we have started slow as if they haven't watched us for over two years now.

 

[YoungWolf]

If Doherty plays then our medical team are miracle workers.

Don't start Del off...

mind you we did cure Neves' broken rib in five minutes

 

[YoungWolf]

If Doherty plays then our medical team are miracle workers.

He starts. Neto on the bench. Vallejo isn't.

 

[Del Woppio]

Doc will start. He'd have been off straight after the goal if there were any concerns. 3-1 wolves. Come on me babbies!

 

[Jinky]

Doc starts...

 

[BGreenWolf]

No Vallejo in the squad’s a little surprising, as is Neto on the bench.

First 11’s as predictable as can be.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Just take a moment to let this sink in. We have signed a player from Real Madrid: he doesn't make the bench.
Foxes 0-1 Wolves (Doherty, who else?)

 

[Boozad]

He starts. Neto on the bench. Vallejo isn't.

He looked dead a couple of days ago. Remarkable recovery.

 

[YoungWolf]

Perez starts for them

 

[Pompey Wolf]

Saiss will cover CB, we don’t usually have a specialist CB on the bench do we?
