Don’t do what Donny Don’t does

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Tbf to Mason, there was some kind of tactical change second half. Styles position certainly changed as he was a lot higher and it helped. Hopefully shows that a bit of flexibility can make a positive impact.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Wasn’t really the big change in performance we needed but it’s a really big result. Pleased for Heggebo too. Hopefully gives him something to kick on with now.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@psclarke86 It’s not going well if this is the one to turn people around. Feels a lot like the same game we’ve watched for weeks.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Where I struggle the most is that you can’t see any patterns of play. Bar one movement from right back into the striker there’s no obvious movement to open things up. No runs to create space, just smash it out left and hope.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Reasonable start but it all felt very familiar after about 20 minutes. Outside of magic from MJ we don’t look capable of making an opening.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@LewisCox_star Diakite in a back 3 and Price alongside Mowatt?

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Pleased to see Gilchrist in, but hoped we might see him tried as a wing back with a back 3 (assuming Diakite isn’t playing at the back). Thought Taylor did ok Tuesday but not sure he was so good to force his way in as part of the 4, but we’ll see. Need Maja and Price to step up.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@_the_a_bis I also think we’ll be ok today. If nothing else we’re overdue a little bit of luck.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@_the_a_bis Pressure will definitely build if it’s poor today. I genuinely don’t think the club want to change, but they might be left with little choice

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@bfatchett @_the_a_bis I’m hoping he sticks with the back 3 from Tuesday, but we need MJ back in for sure.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Bany called up for the Jordan team. A bit out of the blue given his Danish and Palestinian roots. Be just our luck that he gets injured.

Fred Grim? How have I never heard of him before! What an exceptional name.

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

BREAKING: Ajax have sacked John Heitinga after Wednesday's 3-0 home defeat against Galatasaray, Fred Grim will take over Heitinga's duties in the meantime 🚨

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

If things don’t work out for Mason on Saturday, this potential move for Edwards wouldn’t be great timing, especially with Southampton also looking for a new coach.

[Liam Keen @LiamKeen_Star]

🚨Rob Edwards can now be considered the front runner to become Wolves' new head coach. The club has also drawn up a small shortlist of desired candidates as discussions continue over who is best to replace Vitor Pereira. #wwfc https://t.co/SoVUyoTYao

@TheVan I can’t remember where I saw it but it would explain why we waited so long in the summer for him too. Outside of Carrick I’m struggling a little for other suggestions.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@TheVan Need to remember that it is really Mason, Wicky, Mowbray, Mason. By all accounts we wanted Ryan after CC. With that in mind Carrick is probably the best fit of those available, as he’s a similar mould, but would take some convincing.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@psclarke86 I don’t think they have a strong desire to make a change. He’s their man and they waited months to get him. Anything but a win Sat and he should go but even then I could see the club sticking. As you say, that could be very costly, but I could see it.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

Last night was very frustrating, but to be fair to Mason he can arguably feel a bit unfortunate. His change of shape did have a positive impact, and take one of 3-4 decent chances we probably come out with a 1-0 win that we’re hoping is a catalyst for better form.

[Ashley Burtoft @AshBurty]

@psclarke86 Maybe, and if it continues to get worse then he’ll absolutely have to go. If he went now I wouldn’t really complain either. I just don’t feel like the club is going to rush into a decision now and I can sort of see why.
