    I think this is a bigger game for Wolves than us, which considering our latest league results may seem a bit odd. We still have a season ahead of us and players returning from injury, so I still see things as bright.

    Wolves are on the verge of their season just being dull if they lose today. If they win, they still have a glimmer of going on a run and challenging Liverpool* for 7th place.

    Neghead.

    See if you’d gone out for a proper walk yesterday, and today before the game, you’d have said 10.

    Hope youre feeling better though today :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Those 5 red 'L's next to our name on the BBC table need sorting out though. They were mostly green 'W's quite recently, we need to get back to that, starting from this afternoon.

    I agree, just saying it’s a bigger game for them than us, right at this moment.


    We’re gonna fecking smash ‘em anyway. 2-1 with Alex playing; 2-0 if it’s the clean sheet king.

    Didn’t walk yesterday as it was freezing. Did spend about 2 hours in the garden building a box (well a Keter box) and then rerouting all my electricals through it for the hot tub and garden lights. Totally freezing by the end of it, but felt strangely better after having fresh air and daylight.

    Looking forward to next Saturday, not only for our win over Chelsea, but the weather is going to be sunny and a rather balmy 13 degrees!

    With a few returning from injury, this could be the first time in a while our starting 11 is what you would considering to be first-choice. Feeling quite positive but think we will play well but have to settle for a draw: 1-1.

    We'll smash 'em. No fears whatsoever about this one.

    Redmond as a striker again, then.

    Think Forster deserved a start as well, just hope McCarthys confidence isn't too damaged.

    Looks like Ralph is choosing Redmond over Adams out of choice... wrong decision imo but hope he proves me wrong!
    Other than that, spot on line up

    Forster is definitely making a case for starting in the league. Alex needs to up his game.

    I don’t think it will be but good there is genuine competition on the sidelines should he not perform

    I think he wants pace over power against their back three. Nathan's shown sparks recently, let's hope they catch light today.

    What’s this, competition for places? Can only be a good thing.


    Not at FB though, obviously.

    I'm fine with Redmond starting again over Che. I liked what I saw from him in that role in midweek, and Che hasn't scored for ages. (I'd personally still have gone back to Che - I'm just fine that he hasn't.)

    Leaving out Fraser is the only decision which raises my eyebrow.
