Pre-Season Fixture thread (22/23)

[Tony Towner]

We lost 7 out of the last 10 games in 20/21 under Nuno.

And he was sacked

 

[Kenny]

And he was sacked

With the most non sacking sacking in history.

Off you pop son but we will spend the week getting all emotional and give you a good send off first.

I do wonder how fans would have reacted in the ground after the Chorley escape and Albion defeat. Nuno probably escaped the worst of the Wolves fans

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

But then (with no way to prove this) I doubt we'd have lost to Albion with fans. We weren't very good but could easily have had 4 or 5 at HT. The complete non start in the second half and non reaction wouldn't have happened.

 

[Alan]

For anyone keeping track, Alaves beat Besiktas 2-1 earlier today.

We should but some very odd decisions in the 2nd half. We were in a horrible run in the league as well at the time.

You have to wonder if the ref (was it Dean?) gives a pen against Boly and doesn't give handball against Gibbs if there are fans in the ground.

But then again...

....and changed the rules the following week regarding silhouettes and the Boly one wouldn't have been given. The Gibbs one would have been given, and should have been anyway, if 20 odd thousand were shouting handball.

I wouldn't give that Paul C the time of day

 

[Tony Towner]

Assuming no injuries then this will be the team next week

Bench is embarrassing. Not a single player I’d want to come on.

Are sporting playing a strong team?

 

[YoungWolf]

I can still see us lining up 3-5-2 at Leeds. Coady in for Podence/Donck/MGW

 

[big mean bunny]

The lack of striker is a concern but otherwise that's a decent first 11.

Room to upgrade on Dendocker, Podence with the sort of signings we should be able to attract but otherwise decent enough.

Depth as mentioned is a concern, only need to lose one or two really key players and that becomes a completey different side.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Trincao, Goncalves and Nunes start for sporting. Looks full strength from the 6 players I recognise

 

[Tony Towner]

I can still see us lining up 3-5-2 at Leeds. Coady in for Podence/Donck/MGW

I can't see it unless we switch to it in the second half. We won’t have tried Coady, Collins and Kilman as a 3 at all which you'd have thought we would do at some point if that's the plan. Unless we get taken apart today of course

 

[Johnny75]

I just don't see that at all. We've not played any of the first team in that formation this preseason

Suddenly we're expecting Bruno to be sensible, I see.

Intruiging

"How much did our bench cost Jeff?"
"Less than £50m sir"
"Alright big spender, calm down"

 

[Tony Towner]

Did he go at all under Nuno? The last time I can remember was Bristol C away which ultimately got Lambert sacked

 

[White Wolf]

I believe that he went with Mendes to a game in the Championship under Nuno, Barnsley away?
