Wolves Vs Doncaster
By: Toby | December 19th, 2008
It’s top meets bottom tomorrow as Wolves take on Doncaster Rovers in a game which Wolves will surely be looking to win. It will however I fear be a task, because while they have a very poor away record their home form, while not brilliant is what you could probably describe as “battling”. While they don’t score many (Their leading goal scorer has 3 so far this season) I fully expect them to raise their game against Wolves, and while they might stop short of parking the team bus in front of the goal, I’ll expect them to put everything behind the ball. Wolves are going to have to work hard to break down Donny, but if anyone can do it, then England’s top scoring team might well be the team who can. It’s an interesting statistic to see that Doncaster and Wolves have conceded the same amount of goals so far this season – 27. And while that’s fine for a team like Wolves with 50 goals going in the other end, Doncaster are struggling for goals, only managing 11 in 23 games.
Wolves’ attacking options look like they will be boosted by the possible return of Iwelumo, who’s overcome his ankle twist, and might force Keogh back to the bench. Jarvis will also be pushing for a place as he came through a friendly mid week with no problems. Jones, Kightly and Iwelumo are each on 4 yellows going into the game so they’ll have to be on their best behaviour so as not to be ruled ineligible for the Sheffield United game on boxing day, to lose all three for that game would be a major handicap.
Game predictions? It’s a 2-0 to the Wolves for me, with Kightly to get the first goal.
Elsewhere it’s the battle of second and third with Reading taking on Birmingham in a massive 6 pointer, with you guys voting all this week in this poll, it looks like the majority (74.4%) of you would like a draw…under the proviso we win tomorrow. Thanks to all who voted! I was massively surprised at how the numbers have swollen for these polls since the first one a couple of weeks back, we’ve gone from around 40 to 188! Thanks to everyone who comes on here and gets involved!
Here’s to a good weekend!
Tara-a-bit!
