Nottingham Forest (A) 24/08 7.45pm Carabao Cup Round 2

[Deutsch Wolf]

Anyone's guess on the team. I reckon all of Ruddy, Hoever, Marques, Ait-Nouri, Dendoncker, Gibbs-White and Silva to start. Not sure how the other gaps will be filled.

Honestly don't give a shit about this tournament, wish they'd bin it off. Been a waste of time for 20 years or more, even more so now when City just win it every year.

[Stan Hullis]

The 2008/9 games against Forest are probably up there as some of my favourites I've ever been to.

 

[YoungWolf]

I think Cundle will start with Donck in midfield.

Gibbs-White, Silva, Campbell front three?

Not sure how he'll configure the defence. Saiss came off a bit early so maybe him Coady and Marques

Tonights 23s game against Reading might give us an idea

 

[PuntsWolf]

Well I’m excited to go regardless. Can’t make the Utd game so this is my fix for 3 weeks.

 

[Kenny]

Tonights 23s game against Reading might give us an idea

Just seen we can't stream this game tonight because the PL has a game on live. Such an odd ruling

 

[big mean bunny]

I am not into non official streams, some of it is a snobby thing about the quality and some of it is my IT background throwing warnings. But they need to look at proper team by team streaming. I don't have the enthusiasm to go to games due to distance and time, but I would pay 200+ without thinking to be able to watch the Wolves games.

NFL gamepass is frankly amazing in comparison to anything the Prem or UK sport has.

 

[Kenny]

So this is our U23 team tonight.

A fair few in tomorrow then

 

[Nando]

Ah, the classic 8-0-2 formation.

 

[Tredman]

Thought we might have seen Lonwijk tomorrow.

 

[big mean bunny]

Harry Birtwistle sounds like the name of someone there would only be about 4 seconds of Pathe footage of, whilst describing how he scored 77 goals in the season after WW1. And that footage would be him nearly killing a defender rather than scoring.

 

[AndyWolves]

Thought we might have seen Lonwijk tomorrow.

I think he's only just come back from injury

 

[darlowolf64]

So looking at the U23 line up above, I guess a few will be involved tomorrow night as that's a pretty weak side

 

[YoungWolf]

Samuels, Marques, Campbell, Cundle or Hodnett probably all in the squad then

 

[northfield wolf]

I would play Jiminez, just to get him match fit.

 

[The Bear]

Marques, Caundle and Campbell will all start I reckon.

Coady and probably Saiss start in defence with Marques. Caundle alongside Donk and Silva up with Campbell. Fairly straightforwards I reckon.

We should still win with that team given Forest's problems.

Then again, us in the League Cup is usually terrible.

 

[AndyWolves]

Boly and Podence back in training. Might this be a game too early for them?

 

[Wolvensam]

Boly and Podence back in training. Might this be a game too early for them?

I could see us giving Boly 45 minutes maybe. Podence less so as he hasn't had a pre-season really.

 

[Kenny]

I could see us giving Boly 45 minutes maybe. Podence less so as he hasn't had a pre-season really.

Podence has been doing his pre-season stuff for around 10 days now, so a chance he gets on the bench and maybe 20 mins tonight.

 

[Walnut]

Anyone know of any streams to watch the match.

 

[Jinky]

I want big Yerson back. Reckon he'll make a massive difference at the back. Any news on when he's due back? I've seen a couple of pics of him in training but nothing else.
