Bar BS3 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Have I missed the pre match presser, or any update on their injuries..? Baker would be a huge loss! Can I be hoping it’s just been kept under radar and he’ll be ok to play, or has he been ruled out for any time frame..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Baker seems to be one of those players that comes off as soon as he gets injured, and that seems to be enough to get him ready for the next game....so i’m hopeful. Pato was supposed to be having an epidural so again, hopeful he’ll be ok.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Haven’t watched the presser but knowing LJ he’ll try and keep things quiet as late as poss. He’s done that a few times this season already. Arguably our key centre half and best creative midfielder - he’ll want to keep Wolves guessing.

Charlie BCFC Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Personally think Pato should be fine. A bit worried about Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised to see us keep Bakes fresh for the Villa clash. Maggie in his place , Joe to left back . I think Elliasen will start as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 This is one game where the loss of Baker is not as huge as most other teams. Don’t get me wrong he is a loss but Wolves have less physical forwards than most other teams. Mags has loads of experience abroad and internationally where he will have faced more players similar to Wolves style. Anyway, it is just my theory but think Mags should be fine in this one.

Can Mags provide enough guidance for Kelly next to him though? I’d expect to see Mags start alongside Flint, Kelly at LB and Bryan further forward if Baker and Pato can’t go.

Pezo Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 To be honest I wouldn't have a problem with playing the under 23s today keeping the main players fresh and winning at Villa - 2 points or over from these 2 games will be an excellent haul.

Can't agree there. In my opinion Baker is our best defender. You need your best defender playing against a very good side who are first in the division. I can see the logic in what you're saying, but right now Baker is far superior to Magnússon who has a tendency to need time to grow into games. We can't afford that today.

Only other choice I would consider is Vyner on the right and Wright to LCB with Mags LB with Woodrow with Bobby. Actually now I have said it I think i prefer that though it is a tough task for Vyner. Though Cavaliero I think is injured which would be a real bonus to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really! Think we need to play strongest side with the aim of pulling Wolves closer back to the chasing pack & us getting some space between them.

Just think Wolves is easier on Mags than some other teams in the division. They are the best team but not the most physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bryan/Kelly combo would give us more defensive solidarity and allow us to play a more possession based game which I think will be our approach. Vyner’s a good possibility too, and it may just be that LJ prefers Wright to Mags in the middle and that could edge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reformed_red Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I don't care if we get smashed today and away at Villa because.... ...WE'RE BRISTOL CITY, we always believe Actually, what am I saying....4 points from next 2 please...lovely jubbly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Fox Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 If Baker is out the least disruption to our normal back four would be for Magnússon to move in to the centre and either Kelly to play left back or Bryan to move back and Elliason play left midfield. It is great we have options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reformed_red Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Whilst I agree that Baker is our best defender and would be a huge loss, I think that Pato is perhaps the one player in our team who we really really miss. Only player who really opens up chances and opportunities regularly. The most unsung hero as he is in the shadow of Aden, Bobby and our Joey (although he does get some praise granted). Would take Pato in and Baker out today of it were a choice. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been in this ‘I’d take a point’ mindset until the last few games but I reckon we’re looking to win every game now. The way we’re playing and digging in where we need to there’s no one in this league that we shouldn’t be confident of beating. Injuries are of course a worry but we’re coping well and I’m hopeful of a cracking win tonight and on Monday. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Brownhill, however good he is can be covered for by moving others around. Of the long terms the one I want back is ODowda. he was developiing really nicely and I would love to see him in a team playing with such belief.
