Don't think we have one of these.

I was all for taking it easy and bringing a few young players in the starting XI, but then this popped up on my twitter feed and brought it all back


We play our best team and destroy them, do everything we can to score as many as possible and send them down.
 
Well we have sunk every other Hoodoo this season so I reckon we must be good for something here.
 
This will probably be the hardest of the last 3 games

Bolton still have something to fight for, Weds are safe & Sunderland will be gone before we get there

Still want a massive win - despite our superiority have not often put teams to the sword, happy if we do that on Saturday
 
They're in shambolic form. One point from five games.

No need to go messing around with the team, I'll assume Cav isn't going to be fit so Jota can go back left and Afobe can perform our own "ex-player will DEFINITELY score" jinx on them.

That hoodoo in full:

2017/18: W 5-1 (H)
2015/16: D 2-2 (H), L 1-2 (A)
2014/15: W 1-0 (H), D 2-2 (A)
2011/12: L 2-3 (H), D 1-1 (A)
2010/11: L 2-3 (H), L 0-1 (A)
2009/10: W 2-1 (H), L 0-1 (A)
2003/4: L 1-2 (H), D 1-1 (A)
2000/1: L 0-2 (H), L 1-2 (A)
1999/0: W 1-0 (H), L 1-2 (A)
1998/9: D 1-1 (H), D 1-1 (A), W 2-1 (A, FAC)
1996/7: L 1-2 (H), L 0-3 (A)
1994/5: W 3-1 (H), L 1-5 (A), W 2-1 (H, P/O), L 0-2 (A, P/O)
1993/4: W 1-0 (H), W 3-1 (A)

Thinking about May 2000 and Kevin fucking Lynch still makes me angry. I should probably get therapy for that one day.

No therapy required for Uriah Rennie in 2004?
 
Nah, we were already as good as down. He was a nonsense that afternoon but ultimately it meant nothing. Lynch being a bent prick meant we didn't make the playoffs and they did.
 
We properly crushed them at our place. I have never ever seen Aiki so happy as trashing bolton 5-1.

One part of me thinks they would like to avenge that scoreline. Another part of me thinks if they try, we'll do better against them.

I'd rest Cav for the last 3 games. He was holding his hamstring, so wouldn't want to risk that. Let him recover properly. He's had a great season.
 
He's got all summer to get over it

Sod that. He has a pre season to get over it...
 
I definitely gave him a thought when I was looking around the ground at full time on Sunday.

I can't write down those thoughts on a family forum like this though.

--------Batth-----Miranda----Hause----------
German Phil---N'Diaye--MGW-------Vinagre

That's what I'd go with. Give the other lads the rest of the season off.

I want 104 points. And I think Nuno will.

Would mean us finishing with a run of P12 W10 D1 L1.

Bottlers ay we. We always blow it, we're Wolves*





*If you ignore the four promotions we've had since 2002 and the time we survived relegation on the last day

I know it's possibly in jest but I wouldn't have Danny Batth anywhere near the starting XI again although he probably will get another chance to show he isn't good enough anymore

"possibly" in jest? :icon_lol:

Come on, mate! Although saying that, the team I posted would still have a decent chance of winning on Saturday.

They probably would and I was ALMOST certain you were joking but as I know you... :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
