No pre-match manager press conference yet - either WOL or club website. Not normal to wait for Friday.
Last time it didn't appear when due the match was postponed for Covid.
Maybe they are just holding back to combine it with an announcement about a loan player no-one had heard of 2 weeks ago?
massive game this
A win and we are level with Hull again, and 2 points behind swansea and birmingham - 4 off bristol.
Lose and we will be looking over our shoulder
If Kieffer is fit enough to go on the bench he needs to start this one, play Colwill and Harris either side with a midfield 3 of Doyle, Wintle and Ralls behind. We really don't have much to lose in putting Doyle in straight away, such is the state of the midfield. Would like to see Sang as wing back instead of Ng but don't see that happening.
2-2.
Our defence needs to keep their striker, Semenyo, in check. He scored two away to Fulham and looked very pacy and powerful, in the highlights I saw.
Despite being shown training, seems as if Keiffer not in squad tomorrow. This leaves us with a powder puff attack and am not sure where goals are coming from. Not sure that Doyle or Watters will give us that spark, yet.

You don't have to play 3 centre backs to have your fullbacks/wingbacks playing high, especially in possession. Wintle was already dropping in between our centre backs against Blackburn which is ridiculous considering we have three of them
The 3 centre backs has not worked, I get that you like the system but it clearly isn't suited to our players, why not try something different?
Not necessarily, it just depends on what your full backs do if you have a back 4. When Dave Jones was manager we often had one full back who would join in with the attack while the other stayed in his own half, creating a sort of 3-5-2 when in possession. We never got done by as many diagonal balls behind the wing backs with a back 4.
I would go

McGuinness Morrison Nelson
Drameh Wintle Ralls Ng
Colwill
Harris Collins
With Doyle, Davies and Bagan on the bench
4-4-2 and make Smithies wear a Peaky Blinders cap and at least half the team play with their socks around their ankles and no shin guards. No blankets or hot water bottles for any of the subs. Morison in a Matrix Agent Smith suit complete with shades and made to keep his hands out of his pockets. The board in a sign of solidarity to parachute onto the centre circle....of The Memorial Stadium in Horfield.
I'm going to stick my neck out here, and say we'll come away from this one with a point. It'll end 1-1, probably, after a dull game, with the fans jumping around trying to keep from freezing, wondering why they didn't stay home in bed, where at least it's warm.
3-0 to us.
