[Albion] Team for Wolves - 18.09.24 League Cup

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

From the photos on the official site, it looks like Van Hecke, Mitoma, Welbeck, Kadioglu and Ferguson didn’t train today.

It looks like a few U23s were involved to make up the numbers - maybe nothing more than giving some players an extra days rest?

I saw that, which makes them all serious doubts for Wednesday. No Joao Pedro either, It's up front that the issue would be there with Welbeck, Ferguson, Pedro and Rutter unavailable.

Now of course it could be a complete sleight of hand. They could have been there but not photographed, or the pictures not published

Hopefully that is all it is, although why would Fergie & Ferdi need an extra day?
Or it could be that they just weren't photographed today??!!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Hürzeler will surely have half an eye on highflying Forest at weekend?

I think it’s going to be all about resting some players and giving others (on the way back from injury) a chance to get more fitness and match practice.

All change?

—————-———-Steele————————-
Lamptey——Webster——Igor—-—Estupiñán
————————-Wieffer————————-
Gruda——-Moder———-Enciso——Adingra
————————Ferguson———————-

Looks a good guess to me. Well balanced and offers something up front.

I’ll be disappointed if none of those are playing, apart from Welbeck.

 

[Baldseagull]

Don't care who he picks, they are all good enough, but I would like to see Lamptey, Estupinan, Ferdi, Weiffer, Ferguson and Moder get some minutes.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

Good, Fabi can play his hand accordingly now.

 

[Hiheidi]

Looks like Ait Nouri is out for tomorrow.

Looks like Ait Nouri is out for tomorrow.

Good news.

Wolves have 3 very, very good Brazilians. Arguably with Joao Pedro’s level of quality. If they rest them all, I’m fairly confident of a result, no matter how many changes Hürzeler makes.

It doesn’t make them ‘serious doubts’ unless you know why they were simply missing from a few photos………players move between squads in training all the time.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

From the gallery on the website, Monday training included:

Steele, Verbruggen
Dunk, Webster, Igor, Estupinan, Lamptey, Veltman
Moder, Weiffer, Enciso, Baleba, Ayari
Adingra, Sahil Bashir, Rutter, Minteh

Plus a couple of un-named U21s I didn't recognise.

Could it not be that they had an extra day off as they are going to play tomorrow, others who will not play or will start on the bench were the ones training?

Yep. I'd be more interested in who trains today.

 

[Marshy]

9 changes minimum i would think. Maybe the entire 11 from the weekend starting line up.

 

[Mancgull]

Gruda is only just back on the grass and training away from the main group. I’d be amazed if he’s involved on Wednesday.

———————— Steele ————————
Lamptey —- Webster —— Igor —-- Kadioglu
Adringa —— Moder — Hinshelwood — Pervis
———————— Enciso ————————-
———————- Ferguson ————————

I reckon both Ferdi and Pervis will play 45 minutes each. Other than that, I’d say pretty close to what we’ll see.
I think Weiffer will get some game time.

The suggestion from this is that Wieffer will probably be playing, Pedro, probably not.

Also interesting comments about Gruda, Lamptey and Ferguson

Cunha is a quality player.

J.Gomes is hit or miss. Probably one of the many reasons why Brazil are struggling. Too many midtable PL players in their squad. Some even starting.

I’m not sure if this has been posted yet.

I had a rule that I don't post negative stuff about oppo players when we're about to play them......but I've realised that is just bonkers, so anyway blame me....... Cunha was the main reason Wolves lost to Newcastle on Sunday, he was so wasteful and so many moves broke down because of him.

Just read the BHA pre-match, I forgot that there is no VAR tomorrow.
