[deletebeepbeepbeep]

So Fergie and Wieffer starting then, too early for Gruda.

Yep, reads like Lamptey will be involved too.

If Pedro needs assessing later today then I'd rather they left him out tomorrow and let him focus on Sunday.

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

I hope so.
We have a shiny new squad but right now even a short term injury to Welbeck, Baleba, van Hecke, Veltman or Pedro would be disastrous

Absolutely

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.

Cunha is great until he's actually tasked with shooting. Makes Maupay look efficient.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Haven't had chance to listen to the press conference yet.

How does Huerzeler cope with "Wolves".
Is it as pleasing as RDZ's pronunciation?

Thought he was a real handful when he played at the Amex last season. Very combative and a bit of a prick, but definitely an opponent to respect

Think he just said Wolverhampton. I preferred Vulvas.

 

[Bob!]

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

Does this mean that the Linos have to make instant decisions on Offsides, rather than wait for an attack to peter out and belatedly put their flag up.

Yes, and players can possibly get away with dangerous tackles and other nefarious shenanigans, IF the ref is an idiot.

First goal scorer 11/1. On it.

Hoping he'll be saved for the PL so he won't have the opportunity to make me eat my words!

 

[Oh_aye]

Steele

Kadioglu
Webster
Igor
Estupinan

Wieffer
Moder

Minteh
Enciso
Adingra

Ferguson

That's the one. Would keep Bart in though. Don't really like messing about with keepers

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Given their (admittedly early) precarious position in the League and Gary O'Neil's comments about resting players, I'd expect very few of their best players to start at the very best. They had a day less rest and then play a day earlier this weekend.

 

[AZ Gull]

....

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

Joe Belmont, Zane Albarus, Caylan Vickers, Shane Nti

In about twenty minutes, the Albion team will be announced for the U21s BSM Trophy match at Wycombe.

That will give some fairly big clues about the strength of our team tomorrow night. If all of the possible fringe lads are included tonight (Peupion, Duffus, Samuels, etc) then it only really leaves the first team squad available for the Wolves game.

Very quiet here at the Hawthornes. Record low attendance?

Delighted to see Peupion and Duffus in particular in that line up. It's a shame for Turns not to be out playing first team football, but maybe 6 months of training at the Albion and captaining the u21/u23s will better suit his development.

 

[Munchkin]

Get the impression that he’s going to rest a few and in particular those that started on Saturday and also played for their nations last week.

So on that basis no Verbruggen, Van Hecke, Hinshelwood, Ayari, Baleba, Minteh or Mitoma.

Makes sense.
