Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Newcastle United - 28/8/22 @ 2pm (Sky Sports)

[Geogaddi]

At a weird point now where I actually think a draw here would be a poor result , these have been poor for months now and Lage probably won’t last the season, think we should win.

Why take the risk if he's been out for 6 days which means no training? Botman's past "easing in",  there's no point going back to that now.

They outplayed Spurs. They’re a striker away from being really good imo

Probably more than a couple of weeks like.

Luckily they don’t have a striker yet. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

A tough game and another solid test for our midfield. I hope we fare better than the Brighton match where I expected us to be more competitive in the middle. 

 

Should be a good'un.

True, but technically neither do we yet

[SiLvOR]

Think this'll be a draw tbh. They did well against Spurs. Hopefully we can score early, settle into it and play a bit. #LetsPlay

Jimenez is fit now.

They are a good team but struggle to hit a barn door. Heard a stat last week that they've had something like 44 shots without scoring now. They've made good signings in Nunes and Guedes but they are outright goalscorers. It's going to be a close one but we've got Isak now hopefully to make an appearance and get us a win.

 

 

[Shearergol]

If Joelinton is in beast mode and Bruno doesn’t get booked early I’ll reckon we’ll do well. With Wilson out it’s on those two to perform.

 

[Geogaddi]

Last 11 league games since the start of April they have Lost 7, drew 3 and won 1, they are in freefall and playing well at Spurs doesn't change that.

[LV]

I’m at a wedding when this is on

[Whitley mag]

One of the worst away days in the league but I fucking wish I was heading down now.

 

Heady times to be following the club again.

I hate playing wolves as we always seem to shit ref that shafts us especially at their place

We can win this, if Isak had come in earlier in the window I’d expect us to get at least a draw. With Wilson out it’ll be Wood starting but I was pleased to see him actually head a ball properly against Tranmere. We have to remember that Trippier and his amazing delivery wasn’t an option for Wood last season because of Tripps being out injured. I’d expect them to link up better now. There’s no hope of Wood linking well with through balls so we’ll have to work on lots of crosses into the box

Despite Tripps being out, Wood had plenty of decent headed chances last season but he cushioned every one of them back to the opposition keeper. Hopefully the goal against Tranmere will get that monkey off his back

I agree that he messed up a bunch of chances but our best delivery is from Trippier, he’s just scored a quality header and I think we’re far more likely to have luck with Wood in the air over the ball at his feet 

[Gallowgate Toon]

Wood's header against Southampton was a banger, tbf.

[xLiaaamx]

His goal against Southampton or Wolves last season didn't seem to do anything in terms of getting his tail up, he was still constantly on his heels after that. Yet to be convinced Tranmere will be different but we've at least shown we can get a result with him in the team before

Draws away against any of last season's top 10 is a cracking result imo.

[elbee909]

0-3, Isaktrick

[NEEJ]

Wood has looked really low on confidence pretty much from day one. I'd love to see him fired up and believing in himself, because he can definitely finish given the right service. It's a shame we've never really seen him as part of a pair up top.

One of the more level headed fan boards out there by the looks of things. Surprised they don’t seem to massively rate Sa, I thought he was seen as one of the best in the league last year.

 

They looked great against Tottenham first half, we can definitely get a result but without Wilson we’re tepid up top, hopefully Isak gets more than 20 minutes of needed.
