Match Thread Wolves 1-1 Everton, Saturday 8th March

[Brett Angell Delight]

It’s a very unfamiliar feeling, to look at the lineups and think we have a good chance of winning. The Evertonian in me somehow feels like any kind of optimism will be seen by the gods as fate tempting and will result in a heavy defeat, 6 more injuries and a 19 point deduction, so I’ll say 5-0 Wolves.

COYB.

This is a horrible time for a league game to be kicking off.

8 p.m.on a Saturday night.

I love it.

Had a full Saturday, sitting down with a beer to enjoy the match.

Though of course I do feel bad for the travelling Blues. Anything out of the ordinary is a pain, which I acknowledge and respect.

Wolverhampton on a Saturday night is just a tad better than a Tuesday night visit to Stoke .

Like having to choose a paper cut between your fingers or between your toes.

Can you share the wolves lineup, their Bluesky account doesn’t seem to post too often.

Line up is what we should of expected, but that bench doesn't look to bad now

Especially since I think the likes of Patterson & Chermiti are probably fit enough to actually be an option at some point

 

[Stephen Gibson]

It's not that surprising with Doucs being back in the first team. 8 starts for Charlie triggers the deal & he's had a couple already. Probably just keeping thier powder dry in case of a bad injury to him later on in the season.

BBC going for a weird Football Manager lineup with Branthwaite in goal and Pickford upfront

….Doucoure straight back in , says lots.

I've no idea how a fella who supposedly played footy to a decent level continues to blow the trumpet for one of the worst technical players I've ever seen play for us

Disappointed to see Alcaraz not stay in the starting line up. Really liked the way he linked up with Beto at Palace and Brentford.

I don’t travel away any more but I still look at away fixtures through the eyes of those who do travel.

And whilst it is great for you and me to sit at home watching on Saturday night watching the footy, being in Wolverhampton @ 10. pm on a Saturday night with a long journey home is no fun.

….it says lots about how managers rate him. It says lots that Moyes brings him straight in after a decent performance at Brentford.

Frustratingly poor technically, that really goes without saying but Moyes (and Dyche) clearly think he’s very effective in other aspects of the game. I understand that.

I don’t really bang the drum for him, I just understand why they pick him.

Good old BBC

Rock solid reporting as ever.

Yeah, I see that as I say. The problem is as much about British transport provision as anything else.

Still, here’s hoping that the shivering on the platform will be worth it for those that have gone.

…counts how many times he gives the ball away that puts us in trouble.

Please just keep the unbeaten run going COYB
