Butcher bemoaning injury issues.

I don't think we have won a cup game (in 90 minutes) under Kenny? Which is a poor record and we have generally given limp performances. I hope we have a combination of exciting young players and fringe players looking to stake a claim for a first team appearance.

McCarey

Doherty
EEL
Hause
Golbourne/Rowe

Graham
Price
Evans
Ojo

Le Fondre
Bright/Afobe

Subs: Ikeme, Stearman, Iorfa, McDonald, Edwards, Dicko, Bright/Afobe

We are long overdue a decent cup run. This season maybe?

Le Fondre
Bright

That will do me.

 

[Dinowolf]

Is Wallace still injured?

 

[Kenny]

Is Wallace still injured?

Just returned to training along with Saville.

That looks a pretty exciting team to me, I'd be happy with that

 

[YoungWolf]

KJ said that Wallace and Saville might play for the u21s next Saturday.

Is the team I'd pick. I expect Ojo instead of Graham though. Despite our complete lack of effort in the cups for over a decade I actually expect us to win this!

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah, van la Parra should start thinking about it. Graham on the bench maybe.

 

[The Bear]

Forgot about him. Stick him in for Graham.

Maybe even play Ronan instead of Evans too.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

total bollocks, it's pre-season field the full side , fuck Newport off, and then have a days rest before the league game...it's August not May/

van La Parra Wallace Ojo

Le Fondre​

SUBS: Ikeme, Hause, Iorfa, McDonald, Edwards, Afobe, Ronan

If Wallace isn't fit then play Ronan and put Henry on the bench.

Nice mix of experience & youth. More importantly it's a team which should have no trouble beating Newport County.

 

[Kenny]

More importantly it's a team which should have no trouble beating Newport County.​

You have to factor in that Wolves are shit in the Cup, so we could put out our 1st team and lose.

Personally I don't think Ken will make many changes. Give Stearman and Hause more time together. Can see the forwards (ALF and Bright) and wide players (VLP & Ojo) changing but not the defence or central mid.​

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think Alfie will play as he's going to have a weekend off in a couple of weeks anyway, he can't play vs Cardiff. EEL will probably get a game as we won't want him just sitting on the bench forever.

We have lost to so many teams well below us over the years.

Its 5 days till the Hull game so no massive need to change vast amounts. Agree with ALF & Bright up from as there's no need to wear out the main strike force, they'll be on the bench if we need them. Bright will then have a very experienced player up with him.

Would keep Ikeme in as from what I've heard/and little I've seen he was a bit rusty yesterday so another 90 mins would help. Goalkeepers don't have to run around a lot, so can't see he can claim he's tired

 

[Norman Deeley]

Not for one minute would I risk our best players getting injured - so no Iorfa, Stearman, Coady, KMac, Dicko, Afobe and even Dangerous Dave for me

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm sure we beat Aldershot on penalties 3/4 years ago in a game before the league season started

Courtesy of big Rog I think?

 

[YoungWolf]

I think it was Forde that got the winning penalty
