Team vs Wolves

[Mr Cynical]

Tough one as we’ve had a lot of games in a short space of time and smith will be tempted to freshen things up a little but equally we’re on a good run so he won’t want to change too much. I suspect josh will make way for Mokotjo and maybe Watkins will come in for either Canos or flojo.. otherwise as you were..

That would be my choice but I get the impression from the Dean Smith interviews of late that he's looking to accommodate Josh M.

Unchanged..Saturday will be the game to make changes

IF ....we're still in the game late on (Clean Sheet?), hit 'em with Watkins, Vibe, or Marcondes.

 

[ladbroke]

Don't think Marcondes is available as clearance needs to have been done by midday yesterday and we all know no one at the FA works on a normal day, so why would they a Bank Holiday?

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Same as Saturday except Josh on bench and Kamo on. Change up if drawing later with Josh. All changes for notts county

 

[cheshire bee]

We have been fortunate with the gaps between Norwich and Villa and Sheffield Weds and Wolves.
Kamo in for Josh and Ollie in for Flo / Canos.
Strength in depth on bench giving options for plan B,C or D depending on how the game is going.

Probably mine but I couldn't really argue against those who say same as Saturday. I doubt Marcondes will come on but it will good for him to get near the action ready for Notts County.

I would expect him to have a run out in the U21's first, but maybe they will put him straight on the bench.

Why not hit them with Vibe and Watkins straight from the off?

If we sit back and try to contain them I think we'll just get rolled over. Let's do what we're best at and go for their jugular. If we can grab an early goal it might knock them out of their stride and give us a bit of confidence. Fortune favours the bold!

Yep we have to go for it, no point sitting back as eventually their pressure will break us, absolutely fly out of the traps and take it to them.
Think this’ll be a cracker, bummer it’s not on TV

Yep, sod that! We’re no good at sitting back, we need to take the game to them, take advantage of the space in behind their midfield..

 

[clactonbee]

Wolves supporters think that because we have had so many draws we 'park the bus'. We wouldn't know how to 'park the bus'.
Play our normal game and we can give anyone a game. Got a feeling we will get something tonight.

Dean always stresses the importance of us scoring first so Lasse must start, cannot see any reason to start Maupay ??

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Do you think thats a bad thing? I think Smith is desperate to have Josh in the team as he can see his ability on the ball. Without wanting to turn it into the JM thread. But as you and others have said i think i would go with Mokotjo.

Prefer JM to start but very happy about Kamo competing for that position.

I certainly wouldn’t change formation though

Any Wolves supporter who thinks that is a total fkin moron!

 

[The Pipe]

If fully fit same team, let Wolves worry about us rather than the other way round.

Bearing in mind Wolves seem to be running away with the league it could be argued this is a “ free game” so play our best team that can attack from all over and see what happens, on that basis I would play Josh as he might find that killer pass that gives us the point, playing Kamo suggests we are trying to nick a point and we are better than that

 

[sonofabee]

Any Wolves supporter who thinks that is a total fkin moron!

We're the 5th highest scorers so Wolves fans would have to be morons to think that. They might think we have a strange strategy that sees us take the lead in most games but fail to then park the bus and defend a lead?

 

[AB]

Nobody should need resting- if a rest is needed we can save it for the cup (while still having a very strong team given that we could welcome back usual first choice players who’ve missed the last few games). Stick to a winning team with a super strong bench. Wolves will have a temptation to rotate as we’re not a likely threat to their league position even if we beat them. Let us be the settled side taking its momentum forward.

 

[EGHAM_BEE]

We have been fortunate with the gaps between Norwich and Villa and Sheffield Weds and Wolves.
Kamo in for Josh and Ollie in for Flo / Canos.
Strength in depth on bench giving options for plan B,C or D depending on how the game is going.

Same for me with Flo just doing enough on Saturday to get the nod over Sergi. Wouldnt worry me me Sergi started instead.

Why on earth wouldn't we start with Vibe?
Forget still being in the game late on let's take the game to them!

Wouldn't disagree with 2 from Canos / Flo / Watkins. Also 2 from Sawyers / Josh /Kamo. Back 5 Vibe & Woods the same.

I would think that will be Dean Smith's idea too. Hope so.

 

[Gazza Bee]

We can only play one way and Wolves will be looking to attack us so it could play into our hands. However I would like to see Mokotjo in for Josh M to protect the back 4 - otherwise I would leave the team alone.

 

[liverbee]

Vibe has turned into a goalscorer prepared to put in defensive tackles from the front under Smiths coaching. He's pretty good at it too. No silly fouls given away. I hope he's fit. He was given a nice little rest on Saturday at least.

Fair enough, but I view it a little differently.
This match will tell us a lot about our realistic ambitions, we certainly will need to Man Up and dispel any hint of a 'southern softies' tag.
So, my view is that we must compete man for man all over the pitch (not necessarily 'sitting back') but matching their competitiveness all over.
To that end I consider that it is better to start with Maupay up front, and Yennaris in midfield.
If we go too 'gung-ho' from the start, I doubt we can keep it up indefinitely, and would eventually pay the price.
So, let's keep it tight, get into the match, gain confidence the longer it goes, get their crowd restless, and hit 'em at the death.
A draw would be a good result, a win a great one! ...........you Bees.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

The reason Wolves are top is consistency, something that we are now beginning to demonstrate.
They aren't Man City.
No reason why we can't get a win there if we play as we did on Saturday.

The last couple of games they have played have been grinding out results, I forsee a more open game with both sides attacking and counter-attacking.
If we can defend ad well as we did against them at home this season, and finish our chances, we stand a very good chance of beating them.

If there is an energy issue then I would rest Woods and bring on Moko. I would start Canos, he saps the defence, then if needed Watkins can 'kick em when they're down' as his strength and pace will be testing once then are worn out by Sergi and Flo. Hopefully no one needs resting, if they do then next week.

I think be same side - and bench - as the weekend. Can't see Marcondes being on bench yet.

Marcondes is arguably much fitter than Judge.

...and on the bench!
