The Race to be Relegated with Wolves, 24/25 Thread

[Jinky]

So if all those players are out & none of the others are back, I guess we’ll be something like:

Sa
Semedo Djiga Santi Toti RAN
Gomes Andre
Sarabia JSL Hwang
​

The bench is gonna be pathetic too.

That's not really any different from where we'd expect to be, except Cunha. We know Agbadou is out for a while so that's priced in and you're going to have to play at least one joker back there because we've built a stupid squad. I'd rather have Djiga than Matt fucking Doherty at CH in 2025 in the Premier League. No-one is a good option out wide right, I would prefer Sarabia there to Guedes, Forbs or Bellegarde though (Bellegarde in CM in a three would be a better option, but we don't do that).

Notice that Ipswich have put Delap on the bench tonight.

Getting their priorities right.

The smell of safety for them is real.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Is it?

Because they're probably going to need to win 4 games at least, and they only have 11 left. And they've won 3 out of 27. And one was against a Gary O'Neil team.

Think Larsen might be a doubt too.

I'd imagine getting Brighton away plays into the selection. What's the odds of them beating Forest and Brighton double? 30/1?

I hear you.

But one of them is against us, at home.

I think the loss of Cunha for the next 4 or so games has broken me.

 

[Jinky]

Think Larsen might be a doubt too.

Thought he was just knackered rather than injured? If he’s out as well, God knows what Vítor would play. He’d probably have no other choice than to switch the formation and play three in the middle. Either Traore or Doyle in to the middle with Joao & Andre and Channy through the middle with Sarabia playing off him.

Either way, none of it bears thinking about.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They lost to Southampton at home four weeks ago.

Don't get me wrong, it's no badge of honour to finish above that bottom three. But we will. They're rubbish.

 

[HanDoJin]

What do you reckon, 10 points from 11 games should do it?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I genuinely think 7 would be enough. Might not even need that if you get a scabby 0-0 at Portman Road.

Forget Leicester, they are beyond awful.

 

[Tony Towner]

Finish with 30 points and not lose at Ipswich and we'll stay up

 

[AndyWolves]

If I'm interpreting this correctly, we have the easiest run in of all pl teams

Hopefully you're right but he was hobbling on Saturday and Pereira didn't really want him to play the whole game.

 

[Tony Towner]

They'll all be fine imo. Just deflection from the manager to justify the tactics

 

[Kenny]

Vitor may have found a way for Wolves fans to say "phew Doherty is fit to play"

When we played Spurs second half without him, it’s one of the best we’d played all season at the time, after the manager had just walked in the door. Maybe we will stop forcing the ball to him and might actually allow others to floruish.

And now they have brought him on.

I absolutely love this.

Blind faith.

Also i wonder how the other players feel about him when he is flailing his arms around and being surly? Whilst i'm sure they love him when he is scoring, it must make them feel a bit of pressure when they know they might get a bollocking from him for a mistake.
