Seen rumours, tomorrow we are playing with JSL up front in a 541 formation. Back 5 of Wolfe, Toti, Agbadou, Mosquera, Jackson, then Andre, Joao, Krejci, Bellegarde.
What are people’s thoughts on this, if true?
1.) 29 Nov 2025 09:42:48
Following on from above, I hoped I would never see Toti, Mosquera and Agbadou play together again after a few nightmares earlier in season.
2.) 29 Nov 2025 10:09:25
Good, as long as Little Rocket Man (Hwang) isn't playing.
3.) 29 Nov 2025 12:18:17
Bet he is on the bench!
4.) 29 Nov 2025 12:35:59
He be on at some stage.
5.) 29 Nov 2025 13:52:45
He has to play at some stage, part of the contract with Asian market. Be better playing with 10 men. If Rob goes along with that what's the point? Hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling Villa are going to give us a hiding .
6.) 29 Nov 2025 14:11:12
I think its pure stupidity to reveal the line up and formation more than 24 hours in advance so the opposition can work on a gameplay to nullify us.
7.) 29 Nov 2025 16:25:40
Why drop our second best cb s.Bueno?
8.) 29 Nov 2025 17:44:58
PLEASE no Bellegarde and DEFINITELY no Hwang even on the bench!
9.) 30 Nov 2025 12:18:29
Well the line ups are out. If I was Emery, my instructions would be simple. Put Toti under pressure as he is the one who will 100% make a mistake and force his fellow defenders out of position.
This will be an easy 4-0 win for Villa.
10.) 30 Nov 2025 12:24:19
No Krejci in the squad but Toti IN and captain?
Krejci isn't injured so what is going on?
07 Nov 2025 15:24:34
Rob Edwards now 1/5, seems likely, don’t think bookies are normally this much out. Refreshing to hear we may have 3 academy players on the bench for Chelsea, long overdue young players actually getting into the team. Everyone will get behind Edwards if it does happen.
1.) 08 Nov 2025 00:36:13
Is he really the best choice?
2.) 08 Nov 2025 08:43:16
To be perfectly honest he may be our only choice.
3.) 08 Nov 2025 10:56:09
A manager that got relegated at Luton sacked at Watford just what we need to keep us in the Prem

Whatever team Rob selects v Arsenal unfortunately we will more than likely lose heavily.
Personally I hope we start with Lopez, a few of us on here have been saying for sometime now that he should be playing more.
We could do with Krejci in both midfield and defence especially with Bellegarde injured, unfortunately as we have no other midfielders available I think he will be in mf.
Personally not keen on either Toti or Mosquera but not sure we have enough defenders not to play them.
Guess we could go:
Johnstone, Wolfe or Bueno, Santi, Agbadou, Doc, Jackson, Joao, Andre, Krejci, Lopez and Tolu. Doubt we will as Toti for some reason always has to play, any thoughts?
1.) 10 Dec 2025 12:41:08
Banksy51 after the last shambolic performance I don't think it will make any difference who plays. But I agree with you I would like Santi back and start Tolu plus Lopez.
09 Dec 2025 15:43:23
With Bellegarde more than likely out of our easy away to trip to Arsenal, JSL and Arias still missing according to match reports, Toti and Mosquera back to their terrible form, what will be the starting line up? Can we start with 15 may keep the score respectable then.
1.) 09 Dec 2025 21:56:21
No point in spending money in jan.nobody of any worth would want ro come anyway.anyone we have whos any good will be sold.the rest aren't even good enuf for the championship.so a double relegation looms.simple as that.cant see a single win this ssn.
2.) 10 Dec 2025 00:33:09
Might not accept us in the Championship with owners who refuse to field a competitive team.
09 Dec 2025 08:15:08
Didn’t watch the game last night, think I was lucky.
Will we win a game all season?
I see Lopez came on how did he play?
Thanks
1.) 09 Dec 2025 09:20:15
I thought he did ok Banksy at least he had a go the tactics were none existent five at the back not working but it won't change I'm afraid RE is stuck in his ways no better than the last clown in charge did not agree with the treatment JSL got if he's not getting the right service what can he do
2.) 09 Dec 2025 09:42:41
Quick answers Banksy,
NO, not with those attitudes.
Yes, I thought Lopez showed more interest design and thought in his cameo that the others together.
3.) 09 Dec 2025 10:51:10
Played better than I’ve seen them play for a while Banksy51. After getting the equaliser I thought we had a chance to win it!
Larsen didn’t even try. Think he’s been asked to get his price down ready for Jan.
Lopez was amazing and hungry. Different class. We need to use him if we’re to have any chance staying in the prem.
4.) 09 Dec 2025 10:57:59
Banksy - Lopez was actually not that bad. He at least looked like he wanted the ball and wanted to be positive with it. Sadly he is very lightweight and did get knocked off the ball regularly but he is young and will, if playing regularly, toughen up.
Given that he is not on massive money it is possible that Wolves might be able to afford him next year especially if there is a relegation clause built in - surely in the summer of 2025 the club realised relegation was highly likely and acted accordingly? - but will a more physical championship be where he wants to start his senior career?
I suspect he will want out and maybe he will go back to Spain if only on loan?
Re the game Wolves, (mostly), tried hard but too many of the players are simply out of their depth.
4-1 was fair. On another day it could have been 6 or 7.
Not as bad as Brentford away last year but not far off - the defence is a shambles. So easily cut through by 1 pass.
Positives
Agbadou once again looked like the player he was last year a powerful CB, (albeit fighting fires and dashing around does make you look heroic even if one ultimately fails).
Krejci also looked ok.
The best player though by miles was Bellegarde who worked hard and looked like he could control the ball - something many others struggled with.
Worst? Too many choices - Hoever and Arias miles off pace. I will however go for JSL as he simply doesn't want to be there and makes little to no effort to hide the fact.
For a twenty minute period before half time Wolves, "had a go" and threw bodies forward and sent numerous crosses in. I'm not sure he got near any of them!
5.) 09 Dec 2025 11:51:01
We just do not have any real quality in the team. We have scraped by with having a few quality players the past seasons but now we do not we are rock bottom. I thought the attitude and effort by some players yesterday was a disgrace. Andre in particular who cost us the 1st goal was just jogging back most of the time. Only positive performances was Agbadou and Bellegarde plus Lopez I thought brought more positive play. Rob Edwards has 0 chance to get anything from this group because he isn't good enough.
We should have gone for Allardyce as he would have set us up to be harder to beat. There has been no mangerial bounce so it will only get worse. Is there any point spending in January and who would even want to come. Only thing we can hope for is that we are able to keep some of the players like R.Gomes and possibly Lopez. Might be able to convince some that are worth it to stay if the club is seen to actually care and want to get back to premier league.

Cheers for replies and info everyone. ?
7.) 09 Dec 2025 14:59:21
I cannot stick up for jsl. He's bone idle and he got bellaguard injured cus he didn't make a move for a pass and bellaguard hung on to the ball and gets clattered. The ball across the 6 yard box? No lunge or stretch but just watched it go bye. I get he doesn't want to be here but he's got to put himself about a bit.
He needs to watch videos of mason.mcclmoyle. the doog. Bull. Mutch. Curran. Gray. Richards. Eubanks blake. Who all put themselves about and put fear into c backs. tolu and mane might do okay in the championship but they're not premier league players. and please don't lynch me but anyone else think it's worse than when vp was here?
8.) 09 Dec 2025 21:39:21
Wolves reportedly are one of two premier league clubs that have shown interest in recently released ex man utd man Jesse Lingard.
Thoughts
9.) 09 Dec 2025 22:42:46
Jesus wept aren’t things bad enough without you coming knocking here spouting constant drivel
07 Dec 2025 09:16:32
Front 3 tomorrow of JSL, Arias and Hwang. I bet Man Utd are worried, 2 of the 3 are mainly non existent and 3rd hasn’t arrived yet, may as well start with 8. Have seen comments from Munetsi saying how fantastic Lopez is and he will be a superstar, what do we do, send him out on loan, brilliant.
1.) 07 Dec 2025 09:54:13
Don’t suppose Salah would be interested in half a season with us before jetting off to Saudi?
2.) 07 Dec 2025 10:05:54
Salah and Cunha back until the summer ?
3.) 07 Dec 2025 10:08:11
Think the Man U. game is just damage limitation. Can't see them laying a glove on United we haven't got a striker capable of hitting the target. No doubt Mr. Hwang will figure so run up the white flag!
4.) 07 Dec 2025 10:26:53
We have to give Rob time, however he is not helping his cause if he keeps selecting Hwang and others who have been poor for sometime now. Surely with his links and connections in the area it is obvious that Hwang is best left out of the squad at least for now, my opinion anyway
5.) 07 Dec 2025 10:36:29
Fer Lopez should be given a chance, the young players that are on the bench are not ready for the first team.
6.) 07 Dec 2025 10:59:00
We have got a striker who can cause issues. He called Tolu Arokodare. The only problem is that he can't score if he's sat on the bench.
We also have a good attacking option on the right hand side in Jackson and Arias but to be effective, they need the ball.
We need to drop Toti as all he seems to do us slow down the play and pass backwards. This style of play is seriously hampering the forward thinking players.
7.) 07 Dec 2025 13:20:40
Absolutely agree Goodwhileitlasted1.
Our midfielders need to move the ball forwards and not keep turning around when someone tackles them! Give me strength!
We also need the fans behind the goals to wave big foam hands shouting “over here! over here!” ?
8.) 07 Dec 2025 17:38:34
, as pointed out during the commentary on the radio in the Forest match last week, players were running forwards but not really looking for the ball, so the midfielders could only see the back so of players, no point playing passes to players who aren’t looking tor receive the ball. We also don’t have players like Cody and Neves who had wonderful range of passing so they could spray the ball out wide, we have to keep coming back to pass it across the pitch eventually getting it to the other wing.
Far too easy to defend against this kind of play. It seems there has been a fundamental issue with the coaching for a while now. And of course maybe the recruitment has been off. And when we do buy a player with a good range of passing and always looking the play it forwards we don’t play him then send him out on loan, Doyle.
9.) 08 Dec 2025 00:25:27
Wolves haven't scored in November for the first time in their 148 year history.
06 Dec 2025 15:02:15
I keep reading that we are after attacking players in January, is Lopez not one of these, thought he cost us £20M as well.
With Joao out and Munetsi injured, I hope that Mane starts on Monday rather than Hwang but doubt it.
1.) 06 Dec 2025 16:09:02
I’d take anyone with self respect, loyalty to the club and a fire in their belly!
2.) 06 Dec 2025 17:35:06
Can not forsee a change in tactics Monday night we might be even more defensive with Joa Gomes out when will we get a coach that will actually play attacking football ⚽ isn't that supposed to be the best form of defense his successer at boro showed so last night
3.) 06 Dec 2025 17:54:31
Harvey Elliott isn’t getting game time on loan at Villa, would be worth trying to hijack that loan. Apparently played 5 times but 10 games triggers the buy guarantee at the end of the loan period.
4.) 06 Dec 2025 18:17:50
Can’t play for 3 clubs in a season slinger so he can either go back to Liverpool or or stay at villa
5.) 06 Dec 2025 18:31:59
What use would Harvey Elliott be to us? He can't play for a 3rd team this season. He's already played for Liverpool and Villa.
6.) 06 Dec 2025 19:03:47
What's the point of talking about January. We will be so far adrift Fosum will not spend the money. We need to protest. Fans need to realize, they don't give a toss about us.
7.) 06 Dec 2025 19:57:39
Another report says we are letting Lopez leave in January as we now realise that players with PL experience are required, Apparently we are linked with a Japanese attacking player who plays for Celtic, you couldn’t make it up, even the rumours are madness.
I agree we did need players with PL experience in the summer, only Krejci really looks any good. I presume Jeff is hoping to get his money back for Lopez, maybe he will perform better back in Spain, we could do with him on Monday.
8.) 06 Dec 2025 20:19:04
Japanese player will sell more shirts than Lopez banksy, same as this young Chinese fella we are signing, can promise you he will be doing photos in that esports shirt quicker than Jeff can add the numbers up
9.) 06 Dec 2025 20:43:13
Sorry for being stupid, I didn’t realise he’d actually played for Liverpool this season
10.) 06 Dec 2025 20:48:17
Don’t be daft slinger, I don’t think Liverpool know he played for them either ?? I think it was like a 5 minute cameo at the end of a game
{Ed001's Note - Community Shield wasn't it?}
11.) 06 Dec 2025 22:32:50
Not sure Ed but it wasn’t long whenever it was ?
12.) 06 Dec 2025 23:31:01
Oh found it, he played for 1 minute for Liverpool v Newcastle.
01 Dec 2025 08:28:41
Excellent OOTB nothing would surprise us now with Jeff, if they were from China or Korea would be signed immediately ?
29 Nov 2025 12:35:59
He be on at some stage.
29 Nov 2025 09:42:48
Following on from above, I hoped I would never see Toti, Mosquera and Agbadou play together again after a few nightmares earlier in season.
26 Nov 2025 17:03:58
Guess you correct 3G would like to believe, however it fading fast ?
25 Nov 2025 12:37:19
Would like to say they won’t allow Joao to leave unless there is absolutely no chance of us staying up. Then again, with our club at the moment anything is possible. Think they have to at least give Rob a chance before arranging further sales, in Jeff and Fosun we don’t trust.
Remainder of the season will be even more depressing if they just give up now.

Be happy to have him back, loan rest of season ?
