[Archived] Wolves Preview

[T4E]

I don't see it as a must win game.

I do see it as a game that we should be going all out to try and win.

As you say, the performance today and the way we play will answer a lot of questions.

I agree - I don't mean must win in the sense that if we don't we're doomed, more that there's very little excuse for not winning a game like this.

[Ozz]

It's about time we saw some goals for us today. Just been in town and there's a load of Wolves fans drinking, all of them in the Gold shirts. Awful accent. 3,000 pished up Wolves fans means a loud away following, hope we can provide the same, but somehow doubt it.

2-1 Rovers.

Just make sure you have it well and truly digested by 2.15

Samba for Nelsen otherwise early info was spot on.

[Dunnfc]

Tugay almsot had it if nelsen hadn't been on the bench but started...Philip you ready to digest?

[Guest Kamy100]

Negative line up, Sam should have started with Kalanic and Di Santo. Few people unhappy where I am sat.

[RoverRich]

We had better see some goals from Andrews and Roberts or else a number of people will be moaning. I am quite disappointed by that line up as I had expected us to go 2 up front seeing as we are playing Wolves at home but we will have to settle for that and hope we make the most of it. Hopefully it will be more a case of 4-3-3 with Peds and Diouf either side of Roberts. Would have liked to see Kalinic or Di Santo start but we do have a very strong bench in case things are not going as planned.

[Martin]

With this line-up a good start is essential.

One thing for sure is this. Allardyce will be doing this his way, regardless of the fans' view. Gotta admire him for that.

[Eddie]

Horrible. What's the point? I think we'll still win, Wolves are a poor side, but if we can't put out two strikers against Wolves who can we do it against?

[LeChuck]

Negative line up, Sam should have started with Kalanic and Di Santo. Few people unhappy where I am sat.

It depends how the midfield support Roberts. If Dunn plays 'in the hole' behind him and Pedersen and Diouf are more wingers than midfielders then it should be fine.

With McCarthy unavailable and Di Santo coming back from injury, this formation was inevitable really.

[Iceman]

One (Please don't use that word again)ing striker at home again! Sam better hope we win, or there will be war.

[yellowsubmarine]

is benni injured?

[Silencio]

Awful selection from Sam, particularly against Wolves. How Roberts stays in the team is beyond me. Disappointed to see Diouf and Andrews still in there as well.

Extremely negative choice of players.

[RovertheHill]

Disappointing line up. Our bench looks better than half the first team. I hope Roberts has his shooting boots on but if past history is anything to go by I doubt it. Hope Allardyce isn't doing this to prove a point to those who chanted last time…

[philipl]

This selection has nothing to do with beating Wolves and everything to do with Sam's ego taking on the boo boys.

Poor negative selection by Sam imo. Roberts shouldn't be starting he has been rubbish so far and he simply cannot convert chances.

Probably will win this after saying it but i think this has a 0-0 or a 1-1 draw written all over it.

[Amo]

Sam really needs a result today or he'll face an inevitable backlash from the fans. Perhaps he still wants to protect Kalinic but, saying that, Wolves is the perfect confidence-booster for him.

[Tango]

Can't think of many teams who'll be putting out that defensive a line-up against Wolves this season. Should think McCarthy's jumping for joy in the away dressing room.

[Guest Kamy100]

Massive problems outside the ground, season ticket holders tickets not working, lots of people outside the ground, amazed that kick off hasn't been delayed. Lots of gaps particularly in BBE.

[vyeo]

Surprised and unhappy with the lineup. Hope i'm proved wrong.
