Seen a lot of posts saying this XI/that XI should still have enough to beat Wolves. I think those people are underestimating Wolves. If we win it’s a remarkable result after a short week and so little time to work with the players still available.
Wolves are good at transitions and but for some poor finishing they would have a couple more wins. So much tomorrow will depend on whether we can dominate possession high up the pitch so as not to expose the makeshift CB pairing.
I’m still looking forward to tomorrow’s game as I know we’ll have a go and Wolves aren’t free scoring, but Wolves at Molineux is a tough game.

Obviously massively disappointed with the losses to the first team for tomorrow, but if anything I'm pretty excited to see some of the fringe players so far get a chance to show up.
Bissouma, udogie, sarr, madders, Vic, vdv all showed up unexpectedly good levels when Ange threw them into his system so no reason bentancur, gil, Phillips, veliz, gio, academy kid, won't step up and also take the bull by the horns and maybe become as integral over next few weeks.
Well up for tomorrows match, will be tricky but I think we will be ok.

My worry with this game is we concede an early goal and end up on the end of a thrashing. I think we can create chances, especially if the longer the game goes on the more our revamped defence settles in and keeps Wolves frustrated. It's the worry that we aren't able to settle through an early goal. We haven't really seen that happen with Ange but it was not uncommon under the previous managers that we'd go 1-0 down away early.

We're on the border of how many 1st team players we can have out before the quality really goes down. We've seen it in the cups over the years and this season at Fulham proved no different. I would say 3 or 4 max before we really suffer. For this one we have 4 (VdV, Romero, Udogie and Maddison). Thankfully Udogie will be back for the next one and then Romero 2 games later. We're really on the edge of what probably is about a 15 man squad of genuine 1st team quality. Thank god we have no Europe as couldn't bear to see our 2nd string in that.
Screw the draw! We have enough quality and a better mentality than to settle for that.

I'd rather us play the entire match on the half-way line with 5 men than take a draw.
It wont be easy but we can win tomorrow.

An influential Bentancur is very much needed for the next couple of months. Hopefully he's back up to speed and wont have set backs.
And three new defenders in the back four is key to this particular match. I hope Ange puts a young guy in one of those spots and looks to build him up. We need to steady the ship after a weird monday night game so if we can avoid a big drop in performance level despite all the enforced changes, that would really help.

Would have been confident, but severely depleted defence, plus Maddison missing is a huge loss. Maddison has been so influential in helping our creativity and attacking intent.
Wolves are a good side too. They were on top in quite a few of their early games, but their finishing wasn't there. United and Newcastle both got lucky.

We really need bissouma back to that early season form of bossing games, right about now, please.

After a bruising and squad-damaging defeat to Chelsea on Monday we continue our Live TV tour with a 12.30pm kick off at Molineux on Saturday. We know that we will be without Maddison, Van de Ven, Romero and Udogie for certain due to injury/suspensions. Yes, we lost the game 4-1 in the end but we learnt a lot about the character in our team in that game as we played a man down for 20 mins and two men down for around 40 mins and still managed to stay alive in the game and carve out three very presentable chances to level the game at 2-2, before eventually conceding two late goals to add gloss to the score for Chelsea. Our opponents Wolves are very inconsistent. They have beaten Man City and lost narrowly (and unjustly) at Old Trafford, drawn with Newcastle and Villa but were blitzed by Brighton, held by Luton, were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Ipswich and lost to Sheffield United last time out. While not wanting to delight in another team's injuries but we are lucky Neto isn't playing as he would have wreaked havoc with VDV out of our team. Both of them can sit together in the stands and compare hamstring injuries instead. Wolves are still a good team with an intensity about them but so are we and despite both teams possessing a bang-in-form South Korean striker I think we just have a little more X-Factor and a stronger midfield and this is where I see the game being decided. We may have issues at CB but I think our industrious and skilful midfield will protect whoever partners Dier. We will win and return to the top of the table until Man City turn Chelsea over on Sunday. Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 Tottenham Hotspur 2. COYS!

Huge game this - massive test as Wolves are a good team and would be a challenge even if we were at full strength. If we can get through this one we then have the international break which is probably good timing for us so let's see how we get on.
