Wolves v Nottingham Forest - 03/12 - Build up and match thread

[Sniffer]

Krejci out, Doherty might be in the squad, Joao and Toti Gomes are fit.

Same team as Sunday?

 

[1986]

Toti Gomes out , Santi in ? . Other than that - same .

Still can't understand why Tolu is not fit for 90 minutes .

Worth a try .

Sure what do we have to lose at this stage .

 

[Lycan]

No word on López?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No word on López?

Wind forecast to be over 10mph so you can't pick him due to the risk of him blowing out to sea.

Dear Southbank. Please don't boo Gibbs White tomorrow you know what happened last season remember.

Dear Southbank. Please don't boo Gibbs White tomorrow you know what happened last season remember.

About as much chance of that as there is of him not putting his fingers in his ears when he inevitably scores.

It'll be the same team as Sunday surely.
Hopefully we give them a game and their 'new manager bounce' has worn off. Still struggle to see us scoring.

When will our "new manager bounce" kick in?

 

[Sniffer]

Early August 2026.

I'm steadily reaching the point whereby I'm thinking that Tolu is shite...

 

[Del Woppio]

Fucks sake why are playing again already

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I didn’t even realise we had a match tomorrow.

We had it Sunday

His finishes in the League cup games suggest hes not totally crap.

Prior to the match. Wolves have updated their Flag & Banner policy.

I'd swap Mane for Arias but everyone else did alright on Sunday.

All the Taiwan flag wavers are taking that update as a win for them, dunno how they can’t take the flags in, Jeff is still here, and Fosun still run us, but apparently the club is rattled hence the policy change

Our best chance to get that elusive win this year. It's the hope that kills you.

I mentioned it off board to Lycan but all three home games this month are eminently winnable for a functional team. Forest are poor this year and Dyche is unlikely to go at us, United are incredibly flaky and Brentford are rubbish away from home.

I don't see us winning any of them sadly, or West Ham on 3rd Jan for that matter.

 

[Jinky]

If we can SOMEHOW get a win by any means tomorrow, we could go into the weekend just a couple of wins away from safety.

And when you’ve got people like Chris Sutton writing stuff like this -

Wolves actually played all right against Aston Villa on Sunday but they still lost again.

There are six months of the season left to play but, let's face it, they've had it.

They still only have two points from their first 13 games, and there is no way Rob Edwards can rescue them from here.

They could bring in Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho - three of the great Premier League managers - and they still wouldn't keep them up.

Wolves do have something to play for, though. I didn't think any team could be as bad as Robbie Savage's Derby County side that went down with a record Premier League low of 11 points in 2007-08, so beating that total is maybe their only aim now.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to do the impossible?

Quite clearly, he’s probably correct - but we’ve all forgotten what a win feels like, so even if it leads to nothing - I hope RE manages to get his first points on the board. Plus Forest are wankers.
