Wolves v Derby Matchday Thread

[wolves71]

An early kick off, 12:30pm for this one. It seems like an eternity since our last league win over Brentford. Hopefully today that can be put right.

I'm not there today, suffering with the dreaded disease 'manflu'! Lesley has taken my ticket for her mate so I'm watching it on the telly in the warm, and with a bottle of brandy. I hope I'm only going to need the brandy for the cold rather than what I see on screen. I like the starting formation, it looks attack minded but I'd have gone for it with Dicko alongside Bod. I'd drop Tex for that and sacrifice Edwards for Seiss to equalise the defensive side with Dicko playing. I know that's a controversal call dropping Edwards but I feel apart from a lot of running around alot and the occasional goal he offers little else. I'd also have put Stearman alongside Batth ( actually I'd have dropped Batth too!).

Defensively we are shocking! Danny Batth is truly dreadful and Iorfa ain't far behind. No defensive midfielder so far tooeasy to pass through us and it doeasn't matter which full back position Docherty plays he always leaves to much space on the wings.

[Newcy Wolf]

Let's not mess around here. We are in serious trouble.

I've never seen a back four so inept.

Let's hope Lambert has the balls to drop the captain, drop...fek it, drop the whole back four.

[Newcy Wolf]

After twenty minutes Derby look like the home side.

They are dire but they are quicker, technically superior with more ideas.

Things need to change quickly.

They nearly score a third from a header because Batth was the wrong side of his man again. That's four times and counting that he has made awful mistakes. I need another bottle of brandy!!!!!!

Our back four look like they have already been on the brandy.

[theplater]

We should be at least 4 down and Batth has hand in all their chances. Tex, or Edwards had to be sacrificed although not sure Saville is the answer. I'd have got Seiss on. We could get battered here!

Yeah....and drank a damned sight more of it than I have!

[theplater]

We must get to half time at least only 2 down. Bodvarsson has been out of the game completely. So, with only 2 subs left and needing to go for it what would you do? I'd be tempted to bring Dicko on as a partner and take Cav or Edwards off. I'd still like to strengthen our midfield defensively too with Seiss but who comes off then? Maybe a straight swap of Bod for Dicko?
