MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (a)

[Snowflake Royal]

yeah, I'd posted that somewhere else. Absolutely no new manager bounce from Hunt that season.

Basically, go early and support the new manager or go late and hope for a bounce.

Hopefully a conversation we really shouldn't need to dust off for a good 10 months

Anyone remember when Ehibhatiomhan is supposed to be back?

I do wonder if he’ll be used differently by Hunt, although that’s obviously dependent on other players in the squad.

I think whether Campbell returns to Wolves in January will have an impact on whether Ehibhatiomhan stays out wide or if he’s given another go up top.

I expect Smith's fitness is the bigger decider on Kelvin going upfront.

Playing 2 up is pretty unlikely.

I don't think it really suits him anyway. He's a big lad, but he doesn't seem the sort to relish a physical battle with a CB, win much in the air against them or hold up hugely well.

He seems to me to much prefer ball to feet a bit deeper in some space and to run at people. He's got pace to go past someone like that. But I'm not so sure about in a foot face to get to a ball in behind having played off the shoulder.

I was thinking more as a substitute option or him shifting across if Smith came off.

I agree a change in style would be needed, as it wouldn’t be like for like. Certainly could be a viable Plan B/C option if we needed to change the game.

Think he could play as an attacking midfielder/second striker behind Smith tbh.

Beginning of February I believe.

Thanks. Not something we need to worry about yet then.

Could play in behind, but not in our high intensity, high press system. That's not a strength.

Yeah, shifting in after a sub maybe.

[Sutekh]

The first team of the new Hunt era

[Clyde1998]

Looks like one change: Knibbs in for Camara.

[Snowflake Royal]

Close to our strongest XI.

[windermereROYAL]

The weather good be a good leveller here.

[BRO_BOT]

You'll probably get battered today, right? Wycombe are a decent team!

[bcubed]

Probably

[Sutekh]

Underway and anything could happen in this weather. Wondering if an abandonment might be on the cards if the rain gets even heavier.

[stealthpapes]

ball pinging about a fair bit

[Sutekh]

3pm restriction on commentary appears to have been blown off. Able to get it via BBC app.

[Snowflake Royal]

Great steal by WIng, but he could have put Knibbs in then.

[skipper]

No fluency to the game, but we're on top and BAM they score. Balls.

[Snowflake Royal]

Score with basically their first attack.

Just too easy down our left hand side with Knibbs, Savage and Dorsett not tight enough

[retro royal]

What the hell was Dorsett doing then, totally ball watching nowhere near where he should have been

[Pepe the Horseman]

Just another shit ref.

[stealthpapes]

Not entirely sure what I'm watching here - ball doing whatever it wants, players struggling and the ref driving a fucking clown car.

[stealthpapes]

1-1

bit of a shambles, weather-assisted.
