Wolves v Hull - the build up

[Johnny75]

By the same token you cannot be making team selections that are entirely weighted on the previous game rather than what you know full well what a player can and can't do.

And I think we have learnt now that we are not in any way as good a team without Dicko. He's our most important player.

I'd argue with it being the first game of the season, then it's more acceptable to do that.

I don't think Dave has learned a load of new skills over the summer.

More so than Afobe YW? Because he leads the line?

It's more about rewarding form and good performances. If the other players see a more limited player stay in the team by playing well then they are more likely to put in more effort to play well. Dropping him after a good performance may send a negative message to the rest of the squad. If it's some shitehouse like Leon then we all know he's useless so don't care.

I'd much rather play Wallace long term or Ojo propely wide anyway, I've already said that.

Pretty much agree with all of this, especially the first bit.

We don't play with the same intensity when Dicko isn't play. In and out of possession. Our play becomes ponderous, with a lack of forward options and we sit off of the ball too much (though this is something I feel KJ prefers as a defensive style).

I think it was there to see when he wasn't selected/injured the difference he makes. The first half of the season more so for obvious reasons, and now with Afobe and ALF too it's now not a disaster if he misses a game. But even games like Middslebrough away and Charlton at home highlighted why he has to play.

No fresh injury worries for Wolves ahead of Hull game. Jed Wallace & George Saville play for U21s at Stoke tomorrow. Batth back in training.

Ken's thoughts.

Interesting little bit on Edwards at the end.

 

[The Bear]

Indeed. Good to hear the manager's thoughts on him.

Bamboozling the opposition by being even less skilful than they think he is

 

[PuntsWolf]

KJ admitting Edwards runs around like a headless chicken and confuses the opposition. Amazing

 

[StuardoWulf]

Steve Corica played well once or twice too.

i was starting to feel hopeful and you mention HIM!!!!

I think I will drive to the Western as well. Only a swift ale before matters and brownie points secured for an early return.
