Wolves 1 West Ham Utd 1 (16/10/10)
Cant see one for this game on here, so thought I would try my hand at another thread given my last effort was the Stoke one!
Their thug Henry will be banned for this one so Parker & Noble should run the midfield, Obinna & Piquionne should have fun against the likes of Craddock. Hopefully Dyer will be fit too and I would stick with a settled back 4 too. Wolves are going to be bang up for this as they are off the back of a loss v Wigan, and after us they have Ch*lsea, Man City, Man U & Arsenal all in a row :shock:
------------------------------ Green -----------------
Jacobsen-------Da Costa--------Upson--------Gabbidon
-------------------Parker-------------Noble---------------------
Barrera----------------------------------------------------Dyer
-----------------Obinna--------------Piquionne---------------
Me and 9 other herberts are travelling up in a Limo for this one (worked out cheaper than the train!) my first away game of the season and cant wait.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
We had only sold about 1200 out of 2500 when I booked our tickets the week before the Sp*rs game, would guess a few more would have been sold since.Tophammer wrote:------------------------------ Green -----------------

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Lets hope so anyway, could be a bit embarrassing otherwise. The allocation last year didnt even reach club members due to it being the first game of the season.osborner69 wrote:

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Playing 4-4-2 against them last term was a bust. I admit that I feel our side is much stronger since the 1-3 drubbing in March, which was one of our worst premier league results since 1993.
In March our team was
R.Green, J.Faubert, J.Tomkins (Spector '45), M.Upson, F.Daprela, V.Behrami, S.Parker, R.Kovac, A.Diamanti, B.McCarthy,C.Cole
Our teamw ill be much changed, and I would imagine we will stick with the 4-5-1/4-4-2 which has been reasonably successful.
I think we will pick up another draw.

Surely we have got to win these games if we want to climb to a comfortable position in the Prem.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Agree with osborner, going to be a tricky one
I really want to see us bury a few early chances and put them to bed early, I feel if we can score first, in the first half, then we will go on and win, we have been making the chances but there is still a lack of finish. If wolves score first they will lock up and play crap football and this will make winning a pretty tough task.
3-1 to us, Obinax2 and Barrera the other.
Dyer has looked good and I am happy for him to slot back in, still think Boa is not quite fitting in with his passing game and the Hitz, I will trust Avram on when to first inject him

I would go with...

--------Jacobsen--------Da Costa--------Upson--------Gabbidon--------
-------------------Noble---------------Parker------------Hitzlsperger--------------------
---------Dyer--------------------------------------------------------Obinna----------
----------------------------------------Piquionne------------------------------------------
Subs:- Stech, Ben Haim, Cole, Barrera, Boa Morte, Faubert, Behrami.
I'm going for a sneaky 2-1 win. 1-1 at half-time with Hitzlsperger putting us in the lead and Obinna to get the winner, see what I did there.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Couple of weeks away this one - does this mean there are more pointless internationals coming up?
Important we get 3 points from this one. Given our poor start, we need to be winning home games against these sorts of teams if we want to give ourselves a fighting chance of crawling out of bottom end sooner rather than later.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Similar to Stoke I reckon, 1-1. Piq again. Good to see one of our strikers scoring.
Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
I'm not criticising anyone's posts here, but, do people seriously expect a player who has been out of action for 2 months to start a Premier League game against one of the league's more physical sides without any full match practise?
Unless he gets a couple of runs out in the reserves in the international break I doubt Hitzlsperger will start.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Went last year, and can confirm that their fans can be a bit unsavoury ... we tend to get forced out of the ground away from the infamous underpass.
From memory, its a case of drinking in Brum city centre (Dragon Inn Wetherspoons by the Aracdian) and then training it into Wolverhampton. ... anyone else got any drinking suggestions?
I fancy us for this. They'll have no Henry and confidence is low. I'm going for a professional 0-2 away win to us.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
they have beaten stoke, lost to villa and drawn with newcastle at home so far this season - i suspect they will work very hard for 90+ minutes. i will be more than pleased with a draw but a win would really signal a revival and put wolves in trouble.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
exactly, sod all the nerdy talk about formations and who might play where two weeks before the game etc. Where's the best place to drink. I seem to remember there was somewhere right next to the station that was ok for away fans but i can't remember the name of it.Upton Larks wrote:Went last year, and can confirm that their fans can be a bit unsavoury ... we tend to get forced out of the ground away from the infamous underpass.

It seems that is the team many of us are waiting to see. The midfield at leastJonG86 wrote:

If Hitz isn't fit, it's a toss up between Behrami & Kovac for me.
Considering the opposition, I'd be inclined to stick Kovac in the middle of a central midfield 3, allowing Parker & Noble a bit more cover to push forwards.
We owe them, after last season's humiliation at UP, so hopefully will be well up for it

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Would probably be more sensible to drink in Birmingham before heading out, given that there'll obviously be far less Wolves fans there. Anyone know of any decent pubs we can find in Wolverhampton though? I'm going with my 3 brothers who're coming up from Gloucester, and we might all head straight there.Upton Larks wrote:Went last year, and can confirm that their fans can be a bit unsavoury ... we tend to get forced out of the ground away from the infamous underpass.

Re: Wolves v West Ham Match Thread
Yes please. If Hitz is as good as expected, that's got to be our best starting eleven at the moment surely. With Collison to come back too, I think we have enough quality in midfield.sammer wrote:I would go with...
