Doyle blow for Wolves

He certainly appears to be one of the more fragile type of player.Recurring injuries to the joints are a concern.Hopefully Fletch can carry on where he left off last season so that we don't miss him too much,if at all. Roll on Blackburn!

It's a stupid time for an international break anyway, England on the final week before the seasons starts and the rest of Europe a couple of weeks into pre-season. Read more: http://www.wolves.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=3694&posts=5&mid=8648#M8648#ixzz1UcqZkuoK

AdMant...E&S reckon the Villa game may be called off. It was always going to be one up-front against Blackburn,anyway, I should imagine. It would be good to see Ward play in his correct position,though.A run of decent performances,should he be used as a forward, would make it a whole lot harder to hoof him back to defence.Having said that,in the event of no LB being signed,we all know where he's likely to start.It's still him or George,as things stand.

I would be genuinely surprised if MM had been planning to start Doyle & Fletch against Blackburn,or any other combination in a 4-4-2.Not that many teams play two up front away from home and I think it would be too unlike MM to go all Blackpool.You may be spot-on in your reading of pre-season,NY...just doesn't seem a McCarthian approach, for an away game,to me. Anyways,i'm starting off the season optimistically and sticking with a score draw,Fletch to get off the mark for the season.

NYCW I think that having Fletcher and Doyle up front will give us more options, whether it is doyle dropping off and helping the supply line, or Fletcher and Doyle playing as a pair, i think that we have plenty of options to be able to change things around, especially with kights, Jarvis and O'hara in midfield. I see us doing much better than last season, the main thing is to be beating the teams around us. There may well be another couple of signings, but don't forget that there are several youngsters waiting in the wings!

I shall answer in order. Sparkes we are of similar thinking with regards the Doyle & Fletcher combination. We have no worries on the wings; he can start with Hunt and if he wants, and what full backs with tiring legs would be happy to see the likes of Kites and Hammil coming off the bench for the last 15/20 minutes? Onto all 4, this all ties in; my main concerns going 4-4-2 are based around Karl Henry and whoever gets to play left back. Most of us are in agreement that Ward is utilized better the further up the park he is- I think Mick will go the same in the use of the player which would result in George playing left back? We all love George but his curious nature leads him into 60 yard runs that he can't make back. The inclusion of Henry will result in a flat midfield whoever ends up next to him/carrying him/snapping their fingers in front of his blinkers trying to make him look/pass forward for once. There is no place for him in the team any more. I would prefer to see Milijias or any of the kids coming through in fact who want to prove themselves as footballers rather this pathetic bad boy image he has sold himself to. A midfield with Karl Henry means backwards passes, poor crossing, hitting row Z with wayward efforts- how many goals has the bloke actually scored in five years? His square passing, at best, backwards more often than not, simply kills off our creativity and results in Wayne hoofing it forward. All4, I agree: no more signings and I have us for the bottom 6. We needed three defenders, a midfielder and a striker. O'Hara is a great player but he had some stinkers same as the rest; anyone who thinks Roger Johnson is going to change our fortunes has nicked Henry's blinkers.
