    You can only speak about life as you have found it.

    I have, as yet, not met a non-smug Wolves fan, whatever division they might have been in.

    Was it Scarborough away, pre-internet, on yet another march back to the top flight (# their rightful place.com) when one of their mahusive faithful repeatedly jumped up and down on the stand roof until he fell through it?

    If we win this one, I think we'll stay up...

    The mention of Scarborough gave me a flashback.

    Hashtag how far we’ve come.

    In fairness to the bloke in the article, he regrets it.

    But then we all do after bouts of twattery. It will still live long in the memory of scarfers from Scarborough though, won't it? On a special day for them?

    Watford 3 0 Wolves

    We do.

    But to be prating on about how you were a d!ck 30 years later isn’t cool.

    C’mon Isaac!
     
  9. We're due a result and performance to match.

    Arsenal we had the performance but not the result.

    Huddersfield the result but not the greatest performance.

    Southampton both were up and down.

    This will be the one. This is what we're hopefully geared up for. Troy or no Troy, we have the players, we have the tactics, and we're in their heads.

    Nothing like a bit of psychology to edge the upper hand.

    2-1 Watford.

    If we go 4-4-2 then start Success for Gray and bring in Femenia for Hughes.

    Success caused them all sorts of problems at their place and it'll mean Gray can play his best role as an impact sub. Hughes has had a very poor season overall and Femenia's pace will be far more threatening and give us some actual width for a change.

    If both teams play as they did in their last games we will be slaughtered!!

    We really cannot play any worse against them than we did at home on that cold wet boxing day...

    But the team has changed so much since then and I sort of agree with @Horace_goes_up_north in terms of the psychology. They we want to beat us of course due to our Semi Final win, but I think the game is more of a chance for them to hopefully be the ones to stop us having a great end of season.

    Yes we could beat Man City but the football gods of Abi Dahbi United (trademark @Smudger) would need an off day.

    This could work against them as well. Our biggest problem going into this game is also Psychological. The players know they were poor against Southampton and should of got at least a point vs Arsenal.

    Gracia needs to have all of them motivated and up for this one. We get Deeney back for Chelsea but I think him giving a small pep talk before kick off could help. Wolves are a good side and as well as they swept Arsenal under the carpet they are beatable.

    We have proven we can go the distance this season and grind out a result in tough games. Burnley should of beaten us at the Vic and we have had some lucky escapes throughout the season. But I really feel the lads will be up for this.

    We need to do our part too. A full voice Vicarage Road to roar them on, a but like the Everton game minus the inflatable snakes. It's ours to lose, but it's also ours to win.

    1-0

    Would love to see us come flying out the blocks for this one. Get in their faces, don’t let them play their game and be 5-0 up by the 30th minute. Just get at them, show no fear and smash them. They are a terrible side, very poor and obvious. Nuno doesn’t have a plan B and Javi can’t be that dumb to line up 4-4-2 again. Just need to nullify Moutinho and Jota. I would honestly stick Capoue on man marking Moutinho. Do what Brighton did the other day, sit deep and don’t let them in behind. Do that and we win easily.

    Someone should produce badges of honour for the few of us who were there for that dreadful 0-0.

    I think both sets of fans will be disappointed Deeney isn't playing!

    We will need to play to our attackers strengths for a start rather than going long and losing the ball.

    Might not see it for a whille if so!

    Or if it's Success pray he has some boots that keep him upright /has learnt we play in yellow !

    Main thing is not to gift them a goal ...

    A must not lose game otherwise 7th is pretty much gone. A draw would not be disastrous but it would then be out of our hands. A win and we are in the driving seat.
    I'm sure Wolves players will want to put right what went wrong in the semi final but I suspect our own players will want to put on a better performance than against Southampton on Tuesday. Wolves had an excellent result vs Arsenal but as we saw the previous week, it is not a very good Arsenal side and had we had 11 men I'm fairly confident we would also have beaten them.
    It's going to be a tight game and as I said, a win put's us in the driving seat but we can't go gung ho at them as they are superb on the break. I think we need a bit of patience and certainly do not want to concede the first goal.
    I would like to see Femenia and Janmaat play on the right and feel as though we need to play Success up top with Delefeou and tell him to stay on his feet and just batter their defenders for 65-70 mins and then maybe Gray to come on.
    I would be very surprised if we went 3-5-2 from the start and would think we would revert back to 4-2-2-2

    Don't even remember us playing them in that but I know I wasn't there as never seen us at Torquay. The 5-0 loss at Fulham on Boxing Day a few years back was blooming freezing as well

    If Lawro says Wolves are going to win 0-2, I say it'll be 0-3. We'll end the game with 8 men and the FA will ban us from the cup final.

    I enjoyed Carlton Palmer coming to the away end to applaud us after that game. He got a fair bit of abuse if I remember rightly!

    I remember Brentford away being bitter,Filbert Street too_Orient was unpleasant one Christmas.
    Oddly Molineux on NYD was mild,apart from the constant yelps of "Come on Bully",as I was in the home end.
    Mi IBB's tennis partner is back on his Wolverhampton half hour monologues after Wednesday's game.This after being Harpo Marx esque for a few weeks.
    Hard to call. Let's hope the unforced errors don't come from our players tomorrow.
    And no Led Zepplin please!

    Try Oldham Athletic early January in the snow. We went there early eighties in the FA Cup. Snow was so bad the coaches only got to the ground 20 minutes after the game had started. Highest ground in England and the locals had not bothered to clear the ice from the terraces just the pitch. Can't remember the result my head I suppose was so numb.

    I see Wolves have only scored 17 in 17 away from home this season.

    Only 5 wins too.

    Hardly a steamroller.

    Femenia at RB to cover the breakaway threat?
