Wolves, FA Cup, 7th Jan

[Bob]

There you go. It’s Wednesday and now there’s a match thread. 

[Bob]

Witches. Ovaries. Lychees. Verucas. Eggs. Sawdust.

 

I don’t ask for much.

[Bob]

We’re (most probably) going to get snotted.

[diamondjoe]

Succinct, I like it. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Bob's meddling with forces he just doesn't understand here. Maybe desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

Obviously, we should be beating these, but we should have beaten a few teams who have turned us over this year. Fuck it. Just get these beat, Reds.

[an tha]

Kelleher

 

Ramsay (if he is actually alive)

Gomez

Konate

Tsimikas

 

Henderson

Keita

Jones

 

Gakpo

Firmino

Elliott

[YorkshireRed]

This feels a little like Steve Nicol in the 1984 European Cup Final, penalty shootout.

 

You have to admire Bob’s willingness to step up like this, but I can’t help but feel we might need Alan Kennedy to save the day..

Steve Nicol was boss. I’ll take that.

[Creator Supreme]

Klopps last stand!

[John102]

Can we make them leave out Nunes??

They will want out of this anyway, all relegation threatened sides always throw the FA cup as soon as they can.

No doubt wolves will make an exception for us and then do exactly that in next round.

Putting Phillips in for Konate now VVD is fucked.

[Trumo]

Luck. Organisation. Bravery. Offensive effectiveness. Solidity.

 

I don't ask for much.

 

Who knows with this one? Jürgen could opt to field a team full of youngsters, along with giving Gakpo a run-out, or he might try to get the first team squad together again to try and get out of their funk. Wolves are a side that have struggled for goals this season, up against a side that has been obliging to everybody else this season. My mindset for this one hasn't got me caring much about it right now, but we are the cup holders and the last time we made a decent go of defending it was 1990. The 1992 win was followed up by the Bolton debacle. The 2001 and 2006 wins saw us fall to Arsenal on both occasions very early on in the following season. Of course I want us to win, but more importantly we need to show we are trying to address and rectify the issues that have hampered us all season.

Oi, don’t go nicking “my thing”.

[Lee909]

I'd probably be throwing Phillips,Bajcetic, Jones,Milner,Ramsey,Tsmikas in for this if fit

Was, as a player. Unfortunately now is an utterly terrible shock jock reactionary pundit.

[El Rojo]

Decent gap between next couple of games. Should be Kelleher and our best ten available outfield players, whoever they might be.

Agree. Can’t see us getting past Real on current form, which would only leave this and 4th place trophy to go for

[dave u]

Kelleher

 

Trent

Matip

Konate

Robbo

 

Fab

Hendo

Thiago

 

Salah

Nunez

Gakpo

 

Need to get our first team playing well again so there's no point making changes when there's no game for another week. I would have liked to see some of the younger players but the priority is for us to stop being shit.

[Aventus]

Bob could be our most important signing in recent history. 

[KMD7]

Bob signing could save Usher hundreds

It’s all too much! 
 

All I ask for is a win with no injuries. Show us your mettle Red Men. This is a weekend of FA Cup fixtures and no Prem games for another week - that’s a whole week off before Brighton (A) so lets do it properly Red Men. Play a decent lineup with the inclusion of Gakpo please.

 

Let’s retain our FA Cup crown, and still finish 4th.

[diamondjoe]

If we're shamelessly imitating then.

 

Moxy, Art, Ronnie, Tenacity, Indigestion, Nebulous.  Troopz, Yer ma, Lepers, Enid, Rancid. Isla, Shoegaze. Abandon. Carney, Umpteen, Neuron, Tramp.

I thought Dan only had three kids?
