You will be physically messed up in a 46 game season playing that style. If they sustain that for 46 games then something dodgey as you physically cant Maybe, maybe not. I'm still waiting for Wolves to "slip up once the weather gets cold", as apparently their new foreigners "won't fancy Burton away on a cold Tuesday in February". That's all we heard from people last season and this smacks of the same wishful thinking to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That remains to be seen. They are currently top of the league and have thumped Derby 4-1 at their place and looked pretty convincing up to now. All I'm saying is that everyone seemed certain Wolves would fall away last year and they didn't do anything of the sort. Not saying Leeds definitely won't fall away but they are looking rather good thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Leeds definitely won't fall away but they are looking rather good thus far. I wasn’t convinced as they had players like neves and jota who were way too good for this level. Also these tactics Bielsa has are so much more demanding than what wolves had. I do not disagree Leeds have looked good. but if they string a few bad results together that’s when the real test will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response to the argument that Bielsa will have them knackered by February, I stated that all and sundry were saying that Wolves will burn out in February as the Portuguese won't fancy it in the cold. Its a "trait of those fancy dan foreigners" we were told. Didn't happen that way though. Edited September 1, 2018 by One For The Road 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of people said they would get injuries , lose form and not be able to sustain the run, in addition to them not fancying playing in winter.

villa4europe Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 not so much the foreigners playing in the cold but i thought the way nuno set wolves up he would put a lot of pressure on his midfield and it would be interesting to see if the key players could play 46 games and how he would rotate it, more the challenge of squad management than they wont be up to it and btw the 13 game period in january until they played us in march was their worst run of the season played 13 won 5, lost 4, drew 4 and got knocked out of the FA cup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what your point is, TBH. You appear to be conflating an argument that one group of people made about something happening, with a different argument that a possibly different group of people are making. It's not clear to me why the fate of 'Portuguese players won't like frost' as an argument, should have much bearing on the fate of 'Marcelo Bielsa appears to be making some of the same decisions as in previous seasons in which his teams started well and then slumped, so maybe that will happen again'. I mean, the second argument could well prove to be wrong, but what does the first argument have to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree last night was a bore fest but it was basically a Pulis team just playing for a 0-0 and we know how difficult that is to play against. Leeds have been excellent in the other games and their pace and movement will cause our midfield and defence all sorts of issues. Hopefully we'll have ditched SB by December so we at least another style. Boro will kill us with set pieces. Last season we were largely good defending them, horror show this season so far.

At that stage they were already about 10 points clear of third so in that position you can not win for 3-4 games and still be o.k. It was the same with Cardiff. All season I said they'd struggle to win in April and guess what they won 1 out of 6 games in that month but we were 8 points behind them at the start of that month so that was the issue. Generally playing catch up is not a good idea in any league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2018 Bolton in a spot of bother then. Quote Bolton Wanderers could be put into administration on Tuesday morning, according to club owner Ken Anderson. Anderson said he offered to repay creditors BluMarble Capital Ltd a £4m loan plus interest but that the offer had been rejected. The club could be deducted 12 points for going into administration. They are currently eighth in the Championship with 11 points after six games. BBC link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
