Wolves are in Group C alongside Bournemouth, Norwich City and tonight's opponents Bury, with all sides playing each other home and away.

Squad: Harry Beasley, Joe Young, Oskar Buur Rasmussen, Anthony Breslin, Pedro Goncalves, Hakeem Odoffin, Cameron John, Dan Armstrong, Elliot Watt, Adam Osbourne, Andrew Sealey-Harris, Carlos Heredia, Aaron Collins,Donovan Wilson, Jose Xavier, Ryan Rainey, Sherwin Seedorf, Ming Yang-Yang.

PLAYER NOT DEAD ALERT

Prince in the U23 Squad v Villa tonight but marked in as a defender (as is Hause, Ronan & Zyro. I guess having a near fully fit squad means Nuno is having to use the U23's for players returning/not in the squad)

Good on Prince

 

[YoungWolf]

Weird that Prince is down as a defender though! I do feel sorry for how it worked out for him because I don't think he's a terrible player but he's not gonna get anywhere near this team.

Good minutes for Hause especially. I'm keen to see him back involved, he could be seriously good in this team. Boly-Miranda-Hause was how I imagined our first choice back three being before. Obviously Coady and Batth will have something to say about that but some very good options when all are fit.

 

[Kenny]

Right now Hause is only getting in with suspension and injuries. Coady is a now a solid 1st pick and Batth hasn't put a foot wrong since Boly was injured. Even Boly faces a fight to get back in.

 

[YoungWolf]

Definitely, but I'm sure at some point he will get an opportunity. Down to him to take it!

 

[Kenny]

Definitely, but I'm sure at some point he will get an opportunity. Down to him to take it!

It will come. Although Miranda has cut down on the stupid challenges so pushing back what I thought would be a nailed on suspension by October

Hause and Boly will surely play at City next week though.

 

[YoungWolf]

Miranda has been brilliant lately I think. As you say, rash challenges have been cut out and I think that is just down to being able to settle into the team and this league. Quality footballer.

That's a good point regarding the City game actually, we will still have a pretty decent side out for that game even if we rest most!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That was Rodders' best game for us on Saturday by a country mile. He was fantastic.

 

[YoungWolf]

Oniangue wearing #2 tonight, right back?!!

 

[Kenny]

Oniangue wearing #2 tonight, right back?!!

Interesting if we are popping him in at RWB

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a back four for the U23s normally

 

[Alan]

Go on, Prince!

 

[Jolemai]

0-2 down, Villa are getting their own back for the weekend result.

 

[Kenny]

Lost 2-0. Early goals did it. From the Twitter feed we did everything but score.
