Really not looking forward to this now especially if we have Neto and Traore out, makes the fixture a real leveller then.

Don't really think a Black Country Derby is the right place to be seeing what these youngsters can do!

Save that shit for Chorley

It's a BCD in name only though. The fans are the ones who make it or ruin it. Pedro Neto as an example won't give a monkeys, it'll be just another game. This isn't going to have the edge for him a game against Utd, Liverpool, City etc would. It's like playing Fulham. Put the fans in the ground and that's where the edge/pressure comes from

Maybe to the players (in which case they should be educated).

But its still very much a Black Country Derby to the fans who live amongst/besides or near by those stripey fuckers.

If anything derby games are really the ones least changed by no fans there. If we lose to Burnley say in normal circumstances its shit watching their fans celebrate/mock but you won't see/have contact with any after match day. Derbies even under these crazy circumstances there's still that contact with for it to go on for weeks/months.

I completely agree. Especially when the Baggies are so poor.

I just can't believe I've waited all my life for Wolves to go into a season where they'll play the shit and us have such a great team and the gap to be so big only for it to possibly have all unravelled in the past few weeks with injuries etc. They're poor but the gap seems to be getting smaller by the minute (worries over Neto now?) come tomorrow, nervous as hell.
 
The worst thing for me is if there wasn't a (H) in the thread title I would have no idea whether we were home or away. I have had some wonderful times in Smethwick (and some bad ones) - the memories are more of the before and after than the game itself (although I was right at the front for Iwan Roberts)
 
Boly and Adama in the training video.
 
Neto being okay and Podence coming back would be the best news I could hear.
 
Don't think Marcal is fit still so for me:


Rui
Coady - Saiss - Boly
Semedo - Donk - Neves - RAN
Traore - Cutrone - Neto​
 
Based on Traore and Boly being the only ones that weren't now being available

Patricio
Semedo Coady Saiss Boly Ait Nouri
Dendoncker Neves
Traore Silva Neto
 
Be surprised if Boly starts but you never know, Dendoncker just went straight in. Nuno has been talking about getting back to keeping clean sheets which I guess could mean a back three. I'd just play 4231 still, get Traore in on the right and then Boly in ahead of Saiss if he's in right condition.
 
I'd rather stick with aback four and develop that, but for this game I'd want both Saiss and Boly in for defensive and attacking set-pieces. You know that's where BFS will be targeting.
 
Knowing the way Nuno works, not mentioning Neto doesn't mean he's available as per Adama midweek
