Wolves' spirited performance yesterday, our poor run and their absence of a really tough midweek game...Next five league games are...
Wolves (A)
Fulham (H)
Villa (A)
Newcastle (H)
Ipswich (A)
That's a run of fixtures with the potential for some points but I think we need to beat Wolves to do it, or the pressure will be right back on us.
I'll go for a 2-1 win for us. Mateta and Sarr.
Will be interesting to see how many of the players are rotated against Villa. I think Villa will heavily rotate their squad given their good start in the champions league. This will make a potentially winnable game for us if we put out our best team. Wolves are not involved in the cup so will have a full 7 days to prepare for the game against us. I think Wharton will not be involved and don't think we should risk Hughes. Kamara can play as one of the midfielders with perhaps Schlupp. Defence can be the same but we i think we should rest Mitchell and or Munoz. Eddie can come in for JP. I think focus should still be the Wolves game.
Pretty sure they've scored in every game apart from one this season, will be a tough game, they will be nervy like we were, desperate for a first win. I think that will benefit us but I'd still take a pointFine performance and a fantastic result.today.
Wolves ??
Challenging fixture away and hopeful of a win in a close game, 1-0.

Yeah, I agree, we'll take this 1-2 with them to score first.
We'll be second half wonders.
OG's post-match comments were that Wharton would play this weekend but they're not sure about Ebs. Kamada looked much more comfortable cutting in from the left, so if Eze is out he might get the chance to build on last night's second-half performance.so after tonight's game and the further injuries acquired, i now see this as our team for Wolves.
Lineup v Wolves;
Henderson
Chalobah Lacroix Guehi
Munoz Kamada Hughes Mitchell
Sarr Nketiah
Mateta
SUBS:
Turner, Matthews, Ward, Clyne, Agbinone, Kporha, Umeh, Schlupp, Devenny,
Injuries: Riad, Richards, Lerma, Doucoure, Wharton, Eze, Franca
We are running very very thin.

Now that Eze and Wharton have been ruled out of the game I think we will give them a good game but come up short.
2-1 to Wolves but I hope to be proved wrong!
....and the assist?! (My guess Sarr)if we lose to Wolves it will put us under some serious pressure for the rest of the season.
I am going to go all out and call for the full 3 points. One Goal.....Mateta. 23 minutes.
