Team for Wolves (A)

[burnley007]

Beyer suspended, surely means Ekdal.


. . Traff

Vitinho Oshea Ekdal Taylor

JBL Berge Browny Luca

. . Amdouni

. . Jay

[jedi_master]

Same team of course, but Ekdal for Beyer as you say.

[burnley007]

JBG could come back in, but that would be harsh.

Maybe a change up front? Rest Jay, only a short gap from Saturday.

[Clive 1960]

I would say same team as Saturday and maybe bring Roberts in at right back and Taylor to centre half and Vitinho to left back...

Never gonna happen.

Ekdal for Beyer will be the only change.

[Luppy]

Same team - Ekdal for Beyer - why lose any momentum we may have built by chopping and changing?

[warksclaret]

Small chance Taylor moves to CH and Roberts and Vitinho as full backs, but Ekdal I think starts and the fact VK gave him a few mins on Saturday would support this

Tresor looked good when he came on Saturday. For me Larson must start and Tresor will soon start to show his quality. JBG is a safe pair of hands but lacks that final quality and speed, and finishing

[Sleeping Cat]

Same team, Ekdal in for suspended Beyer but this team is building momentum and the familiarity is helping cohesion.

Happy that we have found a good starting XI. Now just minor tweaks when required. We will start to move slowly up the table,

Need Lyle back soon though, will we see more of Oba?

[Sleeping Cat]

Agreed. In the first 9-10 games I think we all found many of the starting selections baffling at times, with too many changes from week to week and a good performance one week not being rewarded with a run in the team. Glad VK seems to have settled into a relatively consistent starting XI.

[IWOODLOVETT]

Same team but the problem is who replaces Beyer as the left sided central defender.

Wolves counterattack with speed and are very dangerous at set pieces (Dawson). So, while Ekdal provides good cover in the air and a calming influence in possession, he is untried on the left and lacks real pace. Therefore I think that Delcroix might get the nod for this game.

That's why i went with Taylor as Ekdal is coming back from a injury.

I agree. Although I also think our squad is too big for maintaining a squad constantly.

In a three game week it wouldn’t shock me to see one or two changes.

I agree with the majority though that Ekdal in for Beyer will be the only swap. Let’s just hope that kick in to the stands doesn’t prove costly.

[AlargeClaret]

As per most , same team but with Ekdal. I’d imagine early subs to keep things fresh too . I try not to dwell on our defence but it looks gossamer thin .

[alwaysaclaret]

Just can't imagine ekdal being fit enough to start so quickly after he's return, although we're clearly short of options. Ekdal looked like he'd lost some bulk on Saturday which will clearly tell on him if he was to start the game, I'd have imagined he would have been eased in with sub appearances for at least 2 or 3 weeks with ongoing work in the gym before being deemed fit to start. The alternative being Al dakhill back in, or Roberts and vitinho filling the full back positions and Taylor moving inside, the latter being the safest although not ideal, Beyer a big loss after a confidence boosting win on Saturday.

[RicardoMontalban]

Why change one player when you can change three? Probably a bit too much disruption there. Ekdal for Beyer, the rest get the reward of a job well done with another start, other knocks and niggles notwithstanding.

[claretonthecoast1882]

If Ekdal isn't deemed fit enough to start I would rather play Delcroix at centre half and leave Taylor at left back

[Venkys4eva]

The match is live on prime if anyone didn't know

[Quickenthetempo]

Ekdal must have been back training at least 6 weeks?

He played for the 21s.
Two weeks away on international duty.
One week unused sub
Off the bench on Saturday.
