Jimmy garners world class isn’t he, best 6 in the league with Wharton. Walks into the England team garner rice Wharton.

07 Jan 2026 20:01:48
Tim isn’t the most technical of players but he would fitted in the dogs of war side. A real pest.

07 Jan 2026 18:50:05
Looking at are starting 11 and wolves formation we are going to get swamped outwide and in midfield hope Moyes has the answers because wolves are going to attack tonight they have nothing to lose.

Mcneil on the right so we are basically playing with 10 men. hope young Armstrong has a good game either way I won't be slating him if he doesn't he is the future.

Very sad to hear the news about Kevin Keegan. He’s a huge name in football and someone generations have grown up watching and admiring. News like this is a reminder that football comes second to health and family.


My thoughts are with him and his loved ones during what will be a very tough time. Wishing him strength, courage, and hoping he gets through this and makes a full recovery.

07 Jan 2026 18:33:02
McNeil RW . Just play him on the left or not at all.

07 Jan 2026 18:40:23
Left back in the dressing room for me.

07 Jan 2026 18:43:24
The team is exactly what you would expect from Moyes given the limited number of players he has to choose from. He will not play Patterson, Dibling or Aznou or Beto (with Barry) , which leaves the eleven chosen and Rohl!

07 Jan 2026 16:31:26
O'BRIEN is a good player, but he's a six foot five center back, not a full back, surely a professional coach, must see this, they may be limited options for the roll, but almost any one of them would surely be a better choice than playing this trifik player where he will be exposed.

07 Jan 2026 16:58:54
You would think so wouldn't you?

07 Jan 2026 17:15:02
I think k all eyes will be on David moyes team selection tonight probably more than any game so far this season.

{Ed025's Note - is that because we are expected to win or because of our lack of numbers mate?..

07 Jan 2026 17:39:47
He’s fairly limited to be honest. I would like to see Garner or Patterson at right back. And does Tarks need a game on the bench?

07 Jan 2026 17:58:11
Neither, just play the players we have in the correct position and play the players who are playing better and not just playing his favorites, we are not the only team in the league with players out or who have a small squad, some people need to stop making excuses for him when sometimes it's his fault.

07 Jan 2026 18:41:23
We’ve needed a right back for about five years now why don’t we just buy one?

07 Jan 2026 19:31:49
To be fair skylark we don't know how there preforming in training, he might be playing the ones who are performing in training.

07 Jan 2026 13:51:55
We all know the situation with players away at African Nations, plus injuries, and with a small squad have limitations on the players that are selected. A bigger squad is needed but I feel the summer will be the time the club decide on transfers when they know if we are in Europe or not. For January, I assume they will only bring another striker in is if offers come in for Beto.

The priority as I see it is to ensure we finish the season in the top half, and if qualification for Europe results then that is a bonus. For me, the fans are long overdue a good FA Cup run with a Wembley day out. Another route to Europe.

Tonight it’s essential they start on the front foot and get at them from the start, get the fans up before opposition get chance to quieten them.

We currently have 2 strikers who can’t control a football despite being footballers. So what’s the continuing point in Pickford booting the ball up to them and then loose possession. That’s the main reason we have the lower possession percentage than opposing teams. Surely the coaches can see this, unless it’s playing to instructions.

Another point is tonight’s referee is Tom Kirk. Hope he has a good game and no controversial incidents to deal with.
He has only referred 2 Premier matches up to date.

07 Jan 2026 16:15:31
The plan for the club was clearly set out. Year one: Move to the new stadium and stabalise, have a clear out, cut the wage bill, bring a few new faces in, build financial and commercial partnerships. We’ve done all of those things. Year 2: another clear out, a few more first team players, higher expectations of performance on the pitch.

No reason to expect that that won’t happen. I know we all want success and better football more quickly, but I think some are judging too harshly based on where we found ourselves just a year or two ago.

07 Jan 2026 12:44:04
As poor as we were against Brentford it has to be a win tonight, Armstrong seems a breathe of fresh air in our depleted squad hope he plays, good luck to the lads tonight let’s get the Stadium rocking 2-0 it is then.

07 Jan 2026 14:00:43
I'd like to see him start, mate. As much as I want JG to play in the middle, he is probably our best right back so I'd move him there. Put Jake in the middle and drop Tarks, he's been awful by his own standards this season. Nothing but a win is good enough tonight, go.

07 Jan 2026 16:30:27
You have jinxed us yet again GB.

07 Jan 2026 17:03:24
Can I just ask, if Armstrong does play tonight can we not destroy him if for any reason he doesn't have a good game. Try and remember these are young players still developing, and they need our support not some loony screaming at them.

{Ed025's Note - fair point Brass..

07 Jan 2026 17:09:14
Agreed blue.

07 Jan 2026 18:52:03
Exactly give the lad a good shout.

07 Jan 2026 18:53:00
Sorry BB, I will be screaming at them. Luckily I am 3000 miles away so they probably will not hear.

07 Jan 2026 07:39:03
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Fulham v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

06 Jan 2026 22:16:30
Should of went to specsavers. dodgy spell checker and mr magoo glasses some corrections needed to my last post Greelish, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Rohl, Beto my apologies.

{Ed025's Note - besides Grealish thats spot on THG, but its no big deal mate..its not an English class..

07 Jan 2026 00:11:28
Think I preferred some of your last lineup THG. Can’t get disappointed with players who you don’t know buckle under Brentford pressure.

06 Jan 2026 21:48:07
My team suggestion for Wolves Pickford Tarnowski O'Brian Keane wing backs Ruhl Moskalenko mid field Armstrong Garner forwards Greenish Bato McNeil I think that could make them strong in defence more from the wing backs. Armstrong looked at home and a premiership player and Beto looked lively and aggressive.

What do you think will Davey risk it. It needs something different after the last mess. It could hold the fort till we get the our best players back.

{Ed025's Note - i think...half our team have changed their names.. :)

06 Jan 2026 22:09:05
a combination of text editing and mr magoo glasses maybe they should change their names after the last game.

{Ed025's Note - good reply that THG, we all make mistakes mate...especially our defenders.. :)

06 Jan 2026 22:11:15
I think he should play B and B together in a 442, Who knows they may
score again with a good supply of crosses. Sometimes the build up play is too slow. Get the ball into the box as quickly as possible and give them a good service.

{Ed025's Note - i just cant see it Grantham mate..

07 Jan 2026 00:09:58
When we go down a goal or two, he may try it again….

07 Jan 2026 12:46:11
I would like to see us give this a go. Problem is can we get it into the box quick enough. We sent exactly lightning fast getting forward.
