Hope Barnes has a belter

Indeed and if he does they'll be a lot of people with egg on their faces later.

Barnes/Wood pairing has worked well in the past, and managers generally favour things they know can work.

And if Vydra's injured, then it was a choice between Jay and Ash, and Jay's hardly pulled up any trees this season, so I can see why SD has opted for a tried and tested method, let's all hope he's proven correct, TBF he often has been over the years, so who are we to doubt him.

I feel optimistic and even had a bet on us, not sure if that's a good thing mind.

Shame about Vyds not being available, but I really don't understand why JayRod has been dropped instead of Wood. He can play right across the front line, think quickly, and drop back into midfield when needed.

It must be plan Z.

He’s injured

In that case, he's forgiven. Thanks.

Genuine question. When did it last work well? I've got it in my mind that it last worked well, consistently, not just for the odd game, 2 years ago in the second half of the 2018/19 season.

I'm just not getting the clamour for it at the moment. Maybe I'll be proved wrong.

Are U23 players in the same bubble as the first team squad?

CaptainKirk · Post by **CaptainKirk** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:30 pm

Often wondered - who are these players praying to when they walk out?
If there was a God, do you think he would care if someone won at football?

In fairness to Ashley Barnes, he’s had 10 months out with a hernia

Need to press the ball for 90mins can't afford to stand off this lot have quality

God is impotent or something.

Well let’s all celebrate like we’re the worst scoring team in all UK professional leagues.

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:45 pm

That’s where this stupid offside rule will cost teams. Absolutely stupid.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:45 pm

Ben Mee's hurt his calf there. Took a kick from Semedo making that challenge.

Excellent work and cross by McNeil

Our strongest side. Win the ball back for McNeil

Wood comes close with good effort. Great McNeil cross.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:46 pm

Mee got a knock after making a challenge

Wouldn’t have needed to be made if the stupid “don’t flag for offside until the play is over” rule wasn’t in place

Yep. Daft. He could be potentially injured now for a challenge he shouldn’t have to make. All so linos don’t have to make a decision anymore. Silly.

Except when we pass backwards! We’re brilliant at that.

Need to open up play and put McNeil more central.

Love how other teams have different corner / fk routines.

Yeah that corner routine worked a treat!

Ben still carrying that knock, not looking good.

Please no, Mee

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:52 pm

If Ben is injured he needs to come off for the sake of the team

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:52 pm

Mee down. Struggling with calf following that challenge

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:52 pm

Looks like Wolves have got their very own Robbie Blake. Number 10 Daniel Podence. Very tricky.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:53 pm

Mee back on his feet and staying on for now

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:53 pm

Mee probably going to be out for some time again after the game..

Bigvince · Post by **Bigvince** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:53 pm

Sneaky Tarks

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:53 pm

ALK need to get us a new centre half in a few weeks. If either of Tarkowski or Mee is missing, we're fu3ked.

Accept that one was poor, as was the FK they took earlier. Better to watch than the same thing every time though.

That's how f***ing stupid that waiting to flag offside is.

Mindless ruling.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 5:55 pm

This is a dreadful watch so far. We look completely incapable of getting any sort of pressure going.
