Wolverhampton Wanderers v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread

Think Kamara is a better CH than Bogarde, and the latter looks more comfortable in midfield so I'd go with that.

Yup, part of Kamara's display on Wednesday was his Torres impression of bringing the ball out and passing it from LCB.

That appears to be a big part of how we do things, so while it would be nice if he could play both positions, it's probably more important that he's further back.

Kamara did lose a couple of footraces against Celtic players on Weds, it's probably his main weakness and I imagine Wolves will try to exploit that.

Just spoken to a Wolves fan who reckons "Cunha's heads gone".  I hope that is the case on Saturday.

Cash and Mings both out, Unai said in the press conference.

Mentions Barkley but no mention of glass legs Onana

They are missing the big lug upfront with a muscle injury and their Bouby with Flu.

[Richard]

They have a few out too.

Think it will be something like:

Emi

Garcia
Digne
Konsa
Kamara

Bogarde
Youri

McGinn
Rogers
Ramsey

Ollie

Subs - Olsen, Ned, Maatsen, Bailey, Malen, kids

With 5 out we are down to the bare bones though!

[PaulTheVillan]

I think we'll win 1-3

Martinez

Garcia Kamara Konsa Digne
         Boarge   Tielemans   
McGinn  Rogers   Ramsey
       Watkins

Garcia straight in would be very unlike Emery. Might not have any other option, mind. We aren't keeping a clean sheet really so those three supporting Watkins will be key.

Wouldn't be surprised if Watkins bounced back from those misses during the week. From memory those Wolves centre backs are quite green/naive. Craig Dawson might be picked for that reason.

Whoever plays right side will be up against it with Ait Nouri. If we didn't already have decent LBs I would have floated his name a few times as an option.

[Dave]

Molineux Mix seems very downbeat about their chances. So that's good.

Was those posts from Costalophulus D by any chance?

[eamonn]

Who is their "big lug" upfront, the chap that sounds like a character from Forbrydelsen (The Killing - the original and superior Dansk version, home to Troels Haartmann)?

Agree, we have to watch Cunha who is rapid....
