Sadly, i agree. I think we are weak at fullback for this level of team, both defensively and offensively.....but we can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However,What we do on the flanks will determine our outcome. Well 4-3-3 (as in 4-1-2-3 which is what we would play but that’s not a thing people say so I stuck with the basic!) really isn’t that much different from 4-1-4-1 if the wingers track back properly, other than winger starting position being slightly further forward in the former.. Depends how much we want to go onto wolves from the start - obviously you’d fancy our wingers chances against Wolves outer centre backs (although maybe not so much Boly as he is a very good player), but there will be a wing back going back the other way who needs some serious tracking so I’d be surprised if our wingers didn’t spend a lot of time in their own half whatever you want to call the system.

Demitri_C Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Come on guys we are a different opponent at home, wolves are not unbelievably good where they can keep grealish quiet, and adomah quiet if they playing to their ability. we had the added talent of grabban. i think wolves wont find it easy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted March 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2018 If we don't push up the pitch and pressurise their back 3 then we play the game in our own half and give wolves the advantage of numbers, given the likely formations. For me this type of game exposes our weaknesses , lack of possession and tendancy to fall back into our own half . I would like to see two forwards on the pitch , Davies for his physical presence and Hogan for his workrate. This would leave us exposed in midfield or defense but should mean we play higher up the pitch. We won't though. A narrow loss or a draw is my prediction.

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I had a dream Adomah scored. The ball is bouncing around in the box after a corner and he just smashes it in. Adomah to score and villa to win 2-0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 We need to play the 4411 formation with Jack behind Hogan or Grabban. I think Grabban on current form.. but Hogan would suit it better as hes quicker and presses higher up the pitch. We need MIle to literally sit infront of the back four. Hourihane and Jack to get the ball and move it to wide players to attack. Stay compact in defence. Take our chances. Win the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted March 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2018 Blues was a fantastic atmosphere at midday on a Sunday. Imagine the noise at 5.30 Saturday night for a top of the table clash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted March 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2018 With the Freakish Gresford and a 4-1-4-1, with Thor as the one in front of the back four and Grabban the 1 in front of the midfield 4, then we have a chance. As long as we don't get **** Ole'd again by the dingles then that's progress I spose, I'd take a point but 3 would hopefully get on a run that ends in automatic promotion.

BOF Posted March 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2018 SHIRLEY this will be second only to the noses game (41,233) for attendance? The 2 Sheffields (Utd & Wed respectively) are sitting 2nd & 3rd. Kick off time and TV shouldn't be a problem. The Sheff U game was also Saturday 5:30 on TV and it has 35,210. (Safely) Assuming Grealish starts, I'm expecting a win here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also watched highlights of Sheff Utd's demolition at the feet of Neves et al, with their slick inter-passing and had to appreciate the sophistication. On that performance alone, it does appear that they have more naturally technically gifted players, (by contrast with our quirky, hot and cold ones), but that doesn't mean we can't win or shouldn't try taking the game to them.

Flair can be powder puff at times, and Wolves are just over a wobble. An effective, confident and pragmatic side could cut right through them if they believe in themselves. I believe in our strengths when we have the right side on the pitch, and I believe we can beat anyone in this division. One thing's for sure, this is going to be very tense.

What a massive game I've been tense since weds more or less, I announced to the family that as far as they were concerned if they didn't want to watch it with me, it was to be assumed I don't exist from 18.30* on Saturday for a couple of hours! Only my 3 year old girl wants to watch it with me! *I'm an hour ahead.... Edited March 9, 2018 by romavillan timezones 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
