Team for tomorrow
O'Donnell
Lyons Casey Tharme Thompson
Trybull
Apter Weir Dale
Rhodes Beesley

Give some minutes to fringe players, get Rhodes minutes to help get him match fit and advertise Trybull for anyone thy wants him. Also get away from that stupid 3-5-2.
 
Safe travels to anyone going.

No expectations from me, they are a Prem side, away and we are not In confident form. Nothing to lose.
 
Any parking tips from anyone?

Never done Wolves before and on a bit of a tight schedule so don't want to be driving in circles at 7.30....

Lots of options near the stadium, given it won't be anywhere near full, I doubt there will be an issue. Last time I parked on Red Hill St and that was an easy in/out. 👍🏼

Their best player Nunez on strike. Probably wouldn't have played anyway but its good that he has caused a rumpus in the build up to this game. Hope Critchley plays a solid team and gives the fans something decent to watch tonight and help with confidence for Saturday.

Have we signed Michael Owen now?! Yay.

Can't see him changing formation right now. After Wigan maybe.

Birmingham Mail predicts ...

Predicted Wolves XI (v Blackpool): Bentley, Doherty, Kilman, Toti, Bueno, Hodge, Traore, Neto, Sarabia, Ait-Nouri, Kalajdzic.
 
I wouldn’t expect the three players that got hauled off at HT at Lincoln to start or he is contradicting what he said post match interview.

So expect Mav, Dougall and Beesley to not start or even not be in the squad.
 
I don't know what to expect, a drubbing to nil is likely as we can't score against league one defender's.
Personally I'd start full strength, confidence/ character needs building on the pitch and in the stands. Resting players after half a dozen games is a premier league luxury not for a lowly league one club.
Let's just get on with it Critchley and errrrmmm not fink to much !!
 
Lack of away friendly pubs apparently.

Is the best option to stop in Penkridge or something similar?

Sorted parking in Asda last week - glad I did as it's sold out now.
 
Nothing to lose except morale hitting rock bottom, as Sadler's millions stay banked
You mean the personal millions that Sadler has invested in his childhood club? Do you know how much he lost during Covid?

And if our second team get tonked 4-0 tonight, I will, of course, be annoyed, but will then we can focus on the league.

I don’t really make a connection between us in the league and us in the cup.

Sadler remains without enough cash or unwilling to invest for prolonged success.

If the former, he should hire a co-funder.

Should the latter apply, he must admit his unsuitability and sell to a new custodian.
 
We haven't got much up front and the wingbacks aren't really functioning maybe we should try something a but different tonight, we'll obviously be resting a few as well.

Beesley

I think even with Rhodes coming in we need another centre forward to come in but Beesley will probably have to do the job tonight.
The alternative would be 4 3 3 with Trybull coming in and Beesley dropping out and Weir playing middle of a front 3.
 
Don't know anything about the Wolves 2nd string players but they are have got to have more potency in attack than us..can't see us scoring unless we get a pen. I expect a better performance than Lincoln but think it will be another glorious defeat.
 
Going to Wolves is one of the bleakest trips in football; we seldom win there, we even lost there when they were bottom of the same league as us, in Div 3.

Grim place and odious fans….apart from that it’s great. I did get to see Bull and Mutch once…..

In the Bull and Bush, I presume!

I used to live in Stourbridge and worked in Dudley. There's a lot of crap talked about the West Midlands by people who don't actually know the area.
