So, what do we think? Pearson and Cunningham are out, Davies expected to be back. The key decision probably being Woods or Earl at LB. Neither have played all that much recently but Woods came on Vs Brentford and I suspect he'll get the nod this time as well for his added experience. I expect many to disagree and go for Earl.

Other things to consider are perhaps Moult coming in up front and perhaps Robinson moving to the left and Barkhuizen dropping out, and Harrop perhaps coming in probably instead of Johnson.

I think Neil will go for....

Rudd
Fisher Huntington Davies Woods
Browne Gallagher
Bodin Johnson Barkhuizen
Robinson

Subs: Maxwell, Earl, Harrop, Horgan, Welsh, Moult, Spurr

The only thing I would change would be Harrop for Johnson but I expect the line up to be this but with Johnson and Browne swapped over.
 
Moult and Earl to start for Cunningham and Robinson. The rest pick themselves.

I think he'll go for Earl at left back - he had a stormer at Wolves earlier in the season and poor old Callum Woods had a bit of a mare when he came on v Brentford.
Ben Davies has to come in if fit again and I'd go for Gally further forward rather than DJ who is not the guy you need when you're likely to be chasing the ball (!).
Replace Gally with Harrop/DJ when his legs go.
Welsh, on the other hand, can help us unsettle Wolves at the start - as we saw at their custard factory . . . they don't like it up 'em. 😉

I would personally like to see... (Doubt we will though)

Rudd
Fisher Huntington Davies Woods
Browne Johnson
Bodin Barkhuizen Robinson
Moult

Wolves will allow us possession and look to hurt us on the break so DJ and Browne will need to be harrying for 90 mins. It's for that reason I'd put Gally on the bench as he can't cover the same amount of ground.

Up front I think we need Moult. Don't see Robinson having much joy against Wolves, if we continue with him up there. And I would like to see Barky handed a chance in the central role.

Dont think welsh should play, Earl ahead of Woods for me.
 
Personally I think AN will go with Woods. Wolves targeted Earl down our left side in the away game, just think he'll go for experience.
 
A key player for us - perhaps the key player - on Saturday will be Browne. If he can give us the midfield bite we might otherwise have expected from Pearson then anything is possible.

not sure Gally is capable of 'chasing the ball' either......especially after going off with a tight hammy on Saturday.

Harrop had a mare at Wolves - incl giving the Pen away - and so 'maybe' he is desperate to make amends in the 10 role......

BarkH will give more protection to the left back in covering Dougherty....but I dont think Robbo will worry their 3 CB's.....

AN said he didnt start Welsh at Brentford because of the fluidity of their midfield - Wolves I would suggest have an equally fluid midfield....but not sure if we have anyone else to play alongside Browne... (not DJ please).
 
Not sure who is available and who is not, what with suspensions, injuries and those coming back who may not be 100%---I expect some surprises when the team is actually announced--AN keeping his cards close to his chest---Suspect the front three will be Bodin,Robinson and Barkhuizen---And Rudd in Goal, but as for the rest who knows

Cannavaro?---Have I missed something here

Aye, Neil said as much this morning. Davies will be back.

Midfield may will need a rejig then so Harrop coming in and Browne and Johnson deeper. Another match which highlights the need for having a further option in there.

Then Harrop comes in. Obviously if Gallagher is injured on Saturday then that will weaken our strength-in-depth but for a game in which we will need to be on the front foot it will not necessarily weaken our first choice eleven. Gallagher's ability to slow a game up might be of more use next Tuesday. But let's focus on this Saturday for the moment.
 
If Gallagher is out then the options are:

Rudd

Fisher, Huntington, Davies/Spurr, Earl/Woods

Two from Browne, Johnson, Welsh

Three from Bodin, Browne (if not deep), Harrop, Barkhuizen, Robinson (if not upfront)

Robinson (if not in the 3)/Moult

What AN will do I don't know though I would like to see Davies, Earl and Harrop start.
 
My team to play Wolves would be Brazil..........

Only joking, its gonna be a tough game, but just the sort of game that we might give a good account of ourselves.

Im going for a high score draw !!
