Away at Wolves
Time now to consider the line-up for Saturday. With Pratley out for a few weeks central midfield in a 451 formation looks pretty week. Tim Ream not a midfielder, Josh Vela??
Any other options
I also hear that Bolton have sold their full allocation for the match. I don't know what allocation we took

Re: Away at Wolves
We've sold 1200. they offered us more, but I think we've declined, which is right considering it took us a fortnight to shift 1000.
As for the shape. I think we have no choice but to go 4-4-2 (gulp) now with Davies partnering N'gog.

Re: Away at Wolves
442 might work at wolves given their knack of conceding goals...if we were doing it I would pair klasnic and ngog though.
looking further ahead though its not happening - like i said last night ricketts could play as a holding midfielder like he did at chelsea last season. That is one option. We could look at someone like vela maybe...we certainly missed an engine last night someone running, harrying and forcing errors. We dont need zinedine zidane in there.

Re: Away at Wolves
Call me crazy, but lets have this for the weekend...
Boggers
Steinsson
Ream
Wheater
Ricketts
Petrov
Ryo
NRC
Mavies
N'Gog
Sordell
Leaves us soft in the middle, but we will have legs up top to give them plenty to worry about. The other option is Ricketts in midfield, but that leaves us thin on the left. Suppose we could try one of the kids...

Re: Away at Wolves
Put Eagles into midfield for Pratley. Otherwise same as Blackburn.
Re: Away at Wolves
Sold out? Drat, was planning a trip, though as away experiences go Wolves isn't one of the most welcoming.

Can someone find Roger Johnson's house and ask him to go out for a pint on Friday night?

Re: Away at Wolves
Sean Davis is back from his loan spell from Bristol City, perhaps he will be the man to fill the void left by the injury to Pratley. Perhaps not. We really are down to the bare bones in central midfield.
I really hope we have enough in the tank to stay up. This is another of the must-win games.
Can't defer from 4-5-1 to 4-4-2 for an away match as vital as this. Not sure who I'd put in the 3-man midfield though alongside M Davies and Nige. What a conundrum!

Re: Away at Wolves
Fancied this an' all!
Bolton Wanderers have sold out their allocation of tickets for Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Whites, who will be out to make it three league matches unbeaten, will be backed by over 1,200 fans at Molineux this weekend.

Re: Away at Wolves

Re: Away at Wolves
tell you what, i would back riley to do a job in midfield.
Re: Away at Wolves
he's not mentioned in physioroom (and Pratley is - so it is up to date) - so maybe he's fit?
our current list:
D Prately Knock no return date
F Muamba Critically Ill no return date
T Mears Knee Injury no return date
R Gardner Hip/Thigh Injury Jun 12
C Lee Broken Leg 15th Apr 12
S Holden Knee Injury no return date
note - there is a return date for Chungy!

Re: Away at Wolves
Aye but there's one for Gardener too
Nice to see a 'knock' is a nice technical term these days.

Re: Away at Wolves
Me too. As long as we keep it tight, we can still create chances against Wolves. Particularly the way they're playing at the moment.ohjimmyjimmy wrote:Hmm i'd rather go in the 'set up and play not to lose' camp for this game
Personally, I'd give Vela a go. Yes he's inexperienced and it's a MASSIVE game to be in for a lad with no previous first team starts, but he might bring some energy and enthusiasm into the centre.
If he's having a mare, or is fookin' knackered, then we can you know.. Sub him..
