Karjala Posted January 12, 2025 Share Posted January 12, 2025 Need to win this if we have top-5 aspirations. Really can't see why we won't, if the players are up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 12, 2025 Share Posted January 12, 2025 Cunha back for this one? Less confident if he's playing. Feels like we struggle against Wolves home and away so not sure about this one. Obviously they've been porr this season but they've had an upturn in form since their new manager came in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted January 12, 2025 Share Posted January 12, 2025 Need Schar in for those cross balls to Hall, after Gordon has dragged in their fullback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted January 12, 2025 Share Posted January 12, 2025 Schar or Botman is the only selection dilemma here. Burn will start, not because Eddie loves him unconditionally but because he's been excellent and doesn't deserve to lose his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 12, 2025 Share Posted January 12, 2025 Should be Schar and Burn really. Would be unfair to leave either out considering Botman has only just come back, I'm sure he'll start one of the next 4 league games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted January 12, 2025 Share Posted January 12, 2025 Botman is a level above, he needs bringing back into the first team. Up to Howe to decide when he’s fit enough. It’s harsh but that’s the way it is. For me it’s for BDB except when playing an extremely physical team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted January 13, 2025 Share Posted January 13, 2025 (edited) This is a tough decision to me. Love BDB, Botman is so good. Schar adds alot and is right footed. That's why Eddie get's the money. edit: Play 5 at the back with Tonali and Bruno midfield? Just throwing it out. Schar can provide something up the field.

Bimpy474 Posted January 13, 2025 Share Posted January 13, 2025 Could be Burn and Botman again, well if you go by the Tottenham and Arsenal results where they were magnificent, be interesting when we find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 9+...in a row...in the league. We're still 4 league games and 3 weeks away from that. And again, nothing to do with pure probability in the way you're implying and everything to do with applied probability based on real-world evidence.

ExiledGeordie Posted January 13, 2025 Share Posted January 13, 2025 (edited) Wolves are one place above the drop, level on points with Ipswich. No game day is a given whatsoever but if we’re aiming to qualify for the champions league we have to be winning this.

Maybe if you look purely at defending and not all the other factors, but we kept a bunch of clean sheets that season with Botman - Schar aswell.
