I saw he has been out of the squad for a while and only came on against Forest.  Guessing since he had that meltdown and lost the captaincy.  He has given up and has his heart set on this move away.  Last big payday for him.  I thought he was younger than 31. 


Tbh, I thought he’d be a good squad player here on a shortish contract, e.g. 2 years. Seems like he can do better though so good luck to him. Very useful player imo and one that Wolves will miss.

I wonder how we'll manage Isak's minutes in the next 2 games given he's had this hamstring concern.

 

We only have two days rest and then an afternoon kick off against Bournemouth.

 

Given we have no cover other than Osula and AG playing OOP I wouldn't be against him been on the bench tonight.

 

I think Bournemouth will be the harder game, and it gives him a little more time to both ease back in and not play as many minutes.

Can’t see us winning a game without him starting tbh. Hopefully we can get a comfortable lead tonight and then take him off (doubt it mind as it will be a difficult game).

Where does this expression 'beware hubris' come from? I hear it expressed like that occasionally but shouldn't it really be beware of hubris?

Not sure. I may have it wrong.

Not that we should have been worried, but Isak is '110% starting' according to someone who used to play for Sweden with him :)

 

Edit: Hadn't even read the last page before posting this, hopefully that calms everyone down

Good points, hopefully start him tonight, get a lead then early sub and save him for Bournemouth.

I guess of all our recent fixtures, this is the test to see if the mentality has changed since the Brentford away match, and from earlier in the season when we struggled to perfom against the teams lower down the table (e.g West ham). Hopefully we can  keep to the levels set recently in the last few 'bigger' matches.

Barring injuries, the team seems to be in a good place at the moment, where even an early goal against isn't phasing us and we can come back quickly. This is the start of what could be a pivotal run of fixtures for us! :clap2::indi:

If we win the next 6 we'll be level on points with 15/16 Leicester after 26 games, HTL. 

Wolves h

Bournemouth h

Southampton a

Fulham h 

City a

Forest h

 

If we do that and beat City and Forest we’d likely be in 2nd. The next game is Lilpool at Anfield.
