Up for the Cup Matchday Thread.

[FrankMunro-371]

Can Wolves embark on a decent cup run? I hope so.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Team: Ikeme: Iorfa, Batth, Strearman, Doherty: Evans, Price, Henry, Edwards, Sako: Clarke

Subs: Kuszczak, Saville, Ricketts, McAlinden, Ebanks-Landell, Jacobs, Dicko.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Clarke starting, Frank - stats say that's the kiss of death

 

[AlexG]

In many respects, not as "Plan B" as it could have been. Clarke in the shop window (we can only hope for some smash and grab)? Doherty gets abother chance to stake a claim for left back?

At least we have Ricketts, Jacobs and Dicko on the bench...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Great way of advertising the fact we need another forward in rapidly with Graham gone.

 

[Tredman]

Bit of a meh team, would have been nice to see McAlinden & Jacobs starting with perhaps Eusebio & Jordan Graham to come off the bench.

Don;t see the point in playing Clarke if he's leaving

In the shop window maybe.

In the shop window maybe.

Possibly, but surely any league 1 team interested would know they are going to get with him already?

Would have been nice to see the younger promising players get a chance.

 

[Parkins left foot]

What I expected apart from Clarke starting, which agree can't see the benefit of.

If Ricketts is OK for the bench (which he clearly is) then would rather he was out there as a proper left back rather than shoehorning Doherty in.

Still the choice is made so we will have to put up with it - hopefully they give it a real go & at least Dicko is on the bench if needed. Worry that that forward line lacks any pace with both him & RVLP not in from the start

 

[NorwayFB]

Pretty much as expected apart from Clarke starting,nice to see Kenny has found Ricketts,McAlinden and Jacobs again.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

SEB on the bench for Preston.

 

[oldleemillgold]

I thought we had a good chance of going through from this until I saw the team. No pace up front means yet another rapid cup exit. Ah well, maybe next year.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Fulham team
Bettinelli, Grimmer, Bodurov, Hutchinson Stafylidis Parker Fofana Christensen Woodrow McCormack Rodallega

Subs: Kiraly Ruiz Roberts Dembele Williams Kavanagh Burn

 

[The Bear]

Bloody hell. We have to resign ourselves to the fact that Jacobs will never get back in the team under Jackett.

 

[sycophantia]

Team pretty much I would have started apart from Clarke

 

[malta mick]

a team designed to drop out of the cup with a whimper. sorry for fans who've travelled to watch this.

Why? Because Clarke is playing?

 

[Dinowolf]

Wtf? Clarke. Why???
Fuck the shop window

 

[malta mick]

Yes Frank. Why are we continuing to play this lump up front - he has no future at the club and is a waste of a shirt. He'll put no pressure on their back 4 whatsoever and they can press us higher up the pitch.
He'll no probably play a blinder and take the match ball home with him, but my opinion does not alter.

 

[The Bear]

I agree, McAlinden should be playing.
