Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Get Wood out of the side play ASM up front, get Fraser back on the left, get Willock dropped as hes fucking shite, have Bruno, Shelvey and J7 as the midfield 3 and bring Krafth back in for Manquillo as he is the more solid defender of the two.

ASM up front is a terrible idea, just look at the Cambridge cup game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) We've only played ASM up top in the league away against the top sides, remember at Anfield it actually worked okay. Just a case of lumping balls in behind for him to use his pace to run onto. Won't work in home games, especially not against a solid Wolves defence who'll sit deep.

Just putting Bruno in for Willock would be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Taken the day off as I've a heap of flexi to use up and going in early. Hope there's others who'll have done similar and SJP will be rocking. One of those where I think a brilliant atmosphere could play a big part.

buzza Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 First game in a long time (pre-covid), over for Easter and really looking forward to it! It will be a tight game but as they are missing their striker and two other first teamers it should equal things a little bit. Hope to see Maxi at full tilt and would love to see chris wood get a goal. bruno will play 100% as jonjo looked well off it on sunday... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 25 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I wouldn't have us as firm favourites as the bookies do, there might be a bit if value there. Wow. Are they missing any key players or something? 11/4 for a Wolves win seems disproportionately high just because we're at home and only three games removed from a great run of form; they themselves are at 3 wins in 4 and still pushing for Europe. If I was still a betting man I'd at least be taking Wolves DNB at 6/4 to soften the blow if we lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 They tend to misprice a lot of our games, we went off at 2/1 v Brentford, Villa, Brighton and Everton. The starting odds seem to have gone the other way here. I guess the loss of Neves and Jiminez along with the amount of chances that they gave up v Leeds and Villa factor in. That said, they've been excellent on their travels this season, particularly v teams below them in the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Bookies don't set the odds based upon the likely result, they set the odds based upon what makes them money. Safe to assume a lot of gamblers think we're going to bounce back in this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outremont Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I wonder if Burn is going to try to play centre mid again and leave huge holes in our defence. He is becoming a specialist at this role of late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Could work out well that. Bruno playing further up the pitch might be advantageous against their defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I still don't get the sentiment a lot of people seem to have re Wood. You see it mostly on Twitter but it's start to creep in here as well. There is no way he will (or should) come out of the 11. He isn't scoring goals, but in terms of how we're currently playing he is one of the most important players in the team. Like suggesting dropping Wood and playing Max upfront just boggles my mind when I see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending him, he’s been poor more since scoring which is strange. However I am absolutely certain playing ASM up top against the back 3 of wolves would be a waste of him and see us spend most of the game in our own half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate him but he offers something a bit different to Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I do think Wood has been really important to the shape of the team, particularly off the ball where he'll start the press or drop in if someone is out of position. I know his goal threat has been minimal, but the alternatives are i) start Gayle ii) play ASM put of his most effective position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
