The problem with this must-win game is that Wolves won't lose to us

neesy111 · « **Reply #4 on:** Monday 22 February 2021, 11:49:27 AM »

1-1 draw

Fulham at Palace on Sunday.

So we could be 18th by Sunday afternoon, then.

I am on the fence with regards to what I want to happen in this one. If we lose I think Bruce will finally be bulleted but a win puts us closer to safety and should raise morale for the following winnable games.

We've a stinking record against them just recently. Those two late goals conceded in Rafa's last season were both f***ing heartbreaking, particularly the one at St James', which was a game we absolutely should have won, never mind lost. Six points became one in those games, bloody tragedy.

So we definitely owe them one. It's difficult but winnable. A point wouldn't be the end of the world providing we beat West Brom.

Yep. This is one of those games we really need to win if we are going to stay out of the relegation zone, but if we win it, might actually worsen our chances of staying up if Bruce gets a stay of execution. It's literally a lose-lose situation.

1-1 draw

We don't draw games.

I think I’m past believing Bruce will get sacked now. I think Mike is gambling he’ll he ok and that he might be rid of us within months.

It’s a must win game for me. I’m going to optimistically say we’ll do it as well. Wolves aren’t unbeatable for us like Chelsea and Man U and their passing style might play into our new higher press.

Hopefully Joelinton is fit as Gayle is s**** in that system and it didn’t seem to work as planned with Fraser or Murphy there. Didn’t think I’d ever be hoping that!

Usually seems to be a draw against these and I wouldn't be surprised if it is again. Two teams allergic to scoring goals. However, if they get ahead then that will probably be it as they've improved since they reverted back to three at the back.

Would imagine they're keen to put our jammy draw at Molineux right.

3-1 win

Although happy to lose if meant the back of Bruce god I hate that c*** with a passion

TBG · « **Reply #13 on:** Monday 22 February 2021, 12:40:21 PM »

Tough game.

Got to remember Wolves were in the Championship not too long ago so they'll be up for this one.

0-4

The Ideal Crash · « **Reply #14 on:** Monday 22 February 2021, 12:41:47 PM »

Wins against Leeds, Southampton, Arsenal and a draw against Leicester in their last 4.

We shouldn’t be expecting anything against these under the current setup and available players.

1-3. Two down early doors, scrappy goal from a corner, late one to put it to bed.

Bruce to repeat his words from the last 16 games, no pressure from the media/press, roll on to the next losing game.

Fantail Breeze · « **Reply #16 on:** Monday 22 February 2021, 12:57:18 PM »

I think this game could be the tipping point, a Brighton-esque performance and 3-0 defeat.

This is Bruce’s McClaren Bournemouth match.

George Bailey · « **Reply #17 on:** Monday 22 February 2021, 01:52:29 PM »

Will cut 'us' to shreds in wide areas and through the middle.
1-3 or 1-4

I feel you may have overlooked an important factor there. The team Wolves will be up against.

The Prophet · « **Reply #20 on:** Monday 22 February 2021, 02:27:25 PM »

We'll start well and take the lead, but gas after 60-70 minutes and hold on for a 1-1 draw.

Didn't realise the last 3-4 games against this lot have been 1-1.

They badly miss Jiminez and have struggled to score goals in his absence, but they have picked up of late. It'll be a really close game.

Hope we win if the takeover is still real, if it isn't i couldn't care less if we lose 0-10.

This is my standing as well.
