Jarvis hopes to make Hillsborough trip
Thursday 5th March 2009, 11:55AM GMT.
Wolves winger Matt Jarvis is hoping to be fit for Saturday’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday – after spending two days in hospital.
Jarvis, who has also been battling a knee injury, has missed the last two games with an infected blister on his foot, sustained in the 2-2 draw against Cardiff.
He said: “After the game the inection went straight into my bloodstream, which can happen because after a match you’re run down.
“I came in on the Monday for treatment on my knee as well and started to feel a little unwell. I got antibiotics for that and some stuff to clean out the blister, but when I came in the next day I was bright red!
“I’d had an allergic reaction to something and on Tuesday night at home I was just radiating – I was bright red, had goose pimples, was shivering and my face was starting to swell up.
“I phoned the doc who came and picked me up. We went straight to hospital.
“I went straight onto a drip, spent Tuesday night in there and actually didn’t come out until Thursday night. I feel fine now though.”
Midfielder Dave Jones is hoping to be in contention for the trip to Hillsborough after a patella tendon injury.
Jones is progressing well and is vying with Nigel Quashie to replace the suspended captain Karl Henry, who starts a two-match ban.

Kevin Foley could play in the middle if jones aint fit cause quashie is a clown in my opinion and play stearman at right back
Report abuse
Keep Jarvis on the bench for this one and keep the young George Friend in at left wing.
I would drop bring back David Jones into Midfield but think we might need a bit of bite in there this Saturday so Quashie is more than likely going to be the choice.
If Iwelumo is fit keep him in, if not its got to be Vokes to start alongside Blake, we need a bit of presence away from home and Keogh just doesn’t give us that.
Report abuse
Personally I would keep more or less the same side that won at Palace and bring on Jones and Jarvis for the last 20/ 25 mins if needed
Dont change it for changing’s sake – but have these lads to make an impact when/ if required
UP THE WOLVES!

Jon, now is that not really making too many changed and sticking square pegs through round holes??
We need to just simply replace like for like, Henry out and a straight replacement in.
Report abuse
Stearman should be playing over Craddock and i’d keep Hilly at left back ’til the end of the season. Friend to cover Jarvis.
Report abuse
Don’t change the team at all Mick – they won together the other night and they can win together on Saturday too!
We may have a squad but we all know that some of them are not up to the job, so stick with a winning team again!!!

5) I don’t agree with Hill at left back for the season. He did a job the other night – although he hoofed it a few times – but was poor in either the Bristol City or Blackpool game. I would much prefer to see Friend there. He was quality on Tuesday and at Blues!
If we did this, providing he is fully fit, then Jarvis could go back on the left. Jones please in the centre, if he is back up and running or otherwise Gleeson.
This will be a tough game, especially with our ex-players likely to feature. We need to battle it out and any win will do.
Wolves 2 Sheff Wed 1!

Big Chris and Jarvo and we have a good chance.Mick is likely to play Jarvis in goal and not travel with any other recognised keeper “just because he feels like it”. It’s about time you felt like winning this Championship Mick, my nerves are shredded, I am under the doctor at the moment, she is stunning.

Hill is hopeless guys!
Report abuse
4-3-3! Edwards, Quashie & Jones in midfield! Jarvis (if fit), Ebanks and Kites up front. Why can’t we ever change the system to accomodate the best players available? Another predicatble 4-4-2 for sat no doubt, and we wonder why teams have sussed us out! I’d rather have Friend at left back not left midfield, that’s why Mick bought him. Another must win!
Report abuse
If ward is fit play him and swop jones for henry Edwards can play defensive midfield but will give us different options.
Report abuse
Lets hope we get lucky again we need someone to shine down on we, lets say live in hope
we dont ever want them Barhti days back and those flippin buckets.

9 – How can you say Hill is hopeless?! He has already helped keep a handful of clean sheets in the few games he’s played and looks steady. Ward has now proved beyond any reasonable doubt that he is not a left back (remember Coventry away, or Nathan Dyer causing him to get subbed at home to Sheff Utd?) How about we give him a chance?
Report abuse
The South Yorkshire Star printed that Potter was ineligible to play on saturday! Which is nice as I think he has played every match at Wednesday since arriving! As much as I respect Michael Gray I think we should be capable of keeping him and Leon Clarke quiet – Tudgay is the one to watch – I think Tuesday at Palace was the way to go for saturday with Keough saved for the last 10 to run them around and keep them busy!! Unless of course we are winning 4-1 like at Mol but I might just be dreaming…wake me up in the prem somebody!
Report abuse
I recon it will be Quashie to replace Henry a simple like for like change especially as Quashie any plays when were Away. However I’d much rather see Jones and Edwards in the middle, But Jones won’t be playin’ anytime soon injured my a@#e lol. But I agree with 6 stick with winnin’ team unless changes need to definatley be made.
Report abuse
It looks like we are not going to the get quality stiker in via the loan market that I think would to make the difference between promotion or failure.Years ago when the Doog retired they used to refer to John Richards as the Loan Ranger since he was only one likely to score.It is getting that way with SEB.We need somone else to help carry the load.If we do fail it will be lack of ambition at the top.Best of luck to Mick and the boys on Saturday.

5 – We’ve just had our first clean sheet since Blues away in the cup, so changing the Centre Backs again just as Craddock and Berra are getting used to each other doesn’t make sense.
Report abuse
11 do you go to the games for christ sake Ward is not a defender or even a CCC player. If he was for sale who would buy him.
Report abuse
I recon it will be Quashie to come in for the suspended Henry, to partner Edwards in the middle, seein’ as though Quashie any ever makes the Line up when were Away. I’d rather see Jones come in but he is “Injured” which I seriously doubt he is. Quashie might look a decent player on Saturday as he will be playin’ with someone who is a different type of midfielder player to Henry.
Hopefully we can keep Leon Clarke quiet as he has been in some decent form past few games.
It made me wonder the other day we sold Clarke 2 years ago and his replacements Keogh and Ward can’t hit a barn door, now I wanted Clarke to be gone aswel like most other fans but seein’ as though Keogh/Ward cost around 1 million combinded fees we may aswel of kept Clarke who went for alot less and scores more then those pair together 8 in 17 starts Keogh 3 in 17 starts.
Report abuse
How anyone can continue to defend Ward is beyond me!! Teams have sussed out he is our weak point and look to exploit it – keep Hill in. Muppets!
Report abuse
Sorry I meant the Lone Ranger.
Report abuse
it’s not JUST the centre backs who are responsible for clean sheets…
you have to look at the left back and goalkeeper also..
so if hennessey drops a clanger, it’s Stearmans fault?
Report abuse
Some total clowns on here again. Ward has done an excellent job this season and left back is not his position but it is time for a rest. As for Hill, from what I have seen so far he is nowhere near good enough. This therefore means that Friend is the obvious choice, as our other good youngster Jones – who impressed on Monday – is likely never to get a chance.
Here are the top 6 players this season in this order – Foley, Ebanks-Blake, Stearman, Ward, Jarvis and Iwelumo!

22 – First line – Correct

19,Clarke was(is)one of the worst excuse for a footballer i have ever seen,missed more sitters than other striker i have ever known.Regarding team selection agree with most here Do not change the team with the exception of Enforced change Henry replaced by Jones.Highly unlikely MM has his cards marked.

23. SEB, Foley, Stearman, kightly, jarvis, edwards

What is it with all these conspiracy theories about Dave Jones?
Why can’t people just accept that the guy’s injured?
What benefit is there in Mick lying about a player’s fitness?
We don’t have a clue what goes on behind closed doors and so shouldn’t second guess.
I find this “blame culture” really boring, it was the same with Freddie, Mark Davies & Jay Bothroyd.
In Mick we trust.

Close them down quick, don’t give them any space, get the ball out to the wings with early crosses, preferable when one or two of the strike force are up there and keep it very tight at the back and guess what – YOU MAY WIN!!!
Report abuse
WTF is going on wiv all you fans! hav u got any clue? u don’t change a winning team! But as jarvis is our best player play him if he’s fit but only if he’s fit as reid can do a decent job and kightly played class. Bench: Higgs/Ward, stearmen, jones, jarvis/reid, vokes. That is a class bench. Play like we did tuesday and we’re a different gravy! But everyone has gotta chip in with the goals. ahhh Bisto.
Report abuse
How you can put Foley ahead of the guy (SEB) who is firing in the goals to get us to the Premiership is beyond me. SEB is and will be Player of the Season, if not, the Championship itself.
Report abuse
30) I think that Foley is nailed on for player of the year down to consistency. Ebanks-Blake has been quality but has had barren patches like all strikers. Even so, he is the best in our league and that includes Phillips!
Report abuse
Whoever started this thread by suggesting Foley in midfield was on the right track.Against Sheff Utd (away)Wanderers were taking a right hammering and the midfield was totally overrun. Injuries forced Shackell on at half time, moving Collins to right back and Foley into midfield. Wolves took over in midfield, scored twice and closed out the game. Foley was responsible.
Report abuse
31 – SEB has had barren patches??? He has 22 goals in 35 league games what more do you want! We would NOT be top without him!!!!
Report abuse
23 go and support Brum you idiot, I suppose you also think that Mad MM is also a great manager.
Ward is not a pro footballer, we have much better kids, out on loan and in the academy if you cared to look, however you must be like Mad MM, and see no further that your nose.
Report abuse
No 27 I think that you are MM [Yorkshire???].Its funny that when we get on his back for not playing a certain player they suddenly become injured???? no word of that before.Also they suddenly ask for a transfer???? again no news of that before they are sold on.If you believe everything that comes out of the Mol you are really daft,remember that Moxey is the master of spin and no one can criticise McCarthy or they are OUT!!!

32. spot on about sheff utd game, I would be happy with foley there and stearman in at right back and friend at left back. Bring Jarvo on for 25 mins v sheff weds so he can terrorise them.

33) Do you understand what barren patch means…. obviously not! I am not having a dig at SEB but it is not hard to work out from the stats that you have provided that there have been barren patches. I am not talking about not scoring for 10 games but there have been times like 1 in 5. Remember he has scored a hat-trick and probably 3 doubles – so there is 9 in 4 games. That leaves 13 goals in 31 games.
Anyway we are going away from the point that week in week out, Foley has been our top player!

34) Come back to me when you have been to as many Wolves matches and grounds.
You are clueless if you reckon Ward has been a disaster this disaster.

Jarvo is quality, but away from home the full back needs support when defending and Jarvo dosnt do that too often. I would play friend for 60 mins let him run his socks off and replace him with jarvis to run at them for the last half an hour. Stearman at right back with Foley in the middle of the park alongside edwards or jones

leave the back four as it is after our 1st clean sheet for a few games you dont want to unsettle it and what i have seen of stearman at right back this season he doesnt look comfortable!!!! its gota be jones or quashie in ther if fit straight swap!!!! we are not in the postion to over complicate things at the moment!!!!

35, I can assure you I’m not MM, daft or indeed from Yorkshire, I just happen to have lived up here for the last 17 years.
As for believing everything that comes out of Mol, it has more substance than the E&S’s conspiracy theorists that’s for sure.
So what you’re saying is, you’d rather listen to complete conjecture on these forums than take the clubs word for it?
Now THAT IS DAFT……
Mark Davies may or may not have been in MM’s plans but the facts are he was offered a contract but refused it,he was probably offered a lot more money from Bolton and he decided to go, now let’s move on.

for all the people shouting dont chanfe a winning team henry is suspended!thought you might know being wolves fans and him my opinion thank the lord he is suspended because he is useless!
Report abuse
37 – What sort of stupid argument is that? So Geoff Hurst should lose some kudos because he made the error of scoring 3 in one World Cup Final? Or Steve Bull should have his goalscoring exloits revisited because he scored 14 hattricks, thus distorting the other games he didn’t score in? Do you understand what being a goalscorer means? Obviously not!
Report abuse
jack, wake up you goof. The whole discussion has emphasised the lack of Henry’s availability.
Report abuse
Of course Jarvo and David Jones should start if fit, alongside Kites and Dave Edwards to make (on paper) the best midfield foursome in the league!
Report abuse
There’s some right carp being talked on here. some of you could pick a fight with the bloke in the mirror.
If someone upsets the balance of a team – football or not, the should be gone regardless of whether they are the best individual talent.
Foley or SEB – player of the year – For me it’s Foley by a nose but I wouldn’t hurl bricks or insults at you if you disagree – its that close!
Conspiracy – Doubtful.
brummierobwolves – If you become an expert by watching more than anyone else, do you want me to take your tonsils out – I watch casualty every week!
Now everyone grow up. We are top of the league.

If you have got the best right back in the league then play him at right back.Foiey played well away at Sheff Utd ,but he didn’t dominate,it was like the Alamo at times in the second half.That match in November was the last time Iwelumo scored.We need a quality striker to support SEB.Just look at the effect Beattie is having at Stoke.If you are serious about promotion get that chegue book out Mr Morgan, never mind buying back Redrow.

23 Brummie, I would pretty much agree with your top 6 but would probably have Jarvis ahead of Stearman. Ward has done a fantastic job, alright he has been caught short a couple of times but for shear commitment and being the ultimate team man I think he can justifiably be amongst anyone’s top 6!
Up the Wolves! Keep the faith!

I would leave the team exactly how it was on Tuesday, apart from Henry (suspended) who will no doubt be replaced by Quashie, YEAH :-( Anyway get jarvis on the Keogh on the bench to come on for the last 15 mins and run themselves into the ground.

Apart from Henry (suspended), I would keep the team exactly the same. Leave Ward out, you can’t change a back 4 thay kept a clean sheet. Quashie will no doubt come in for Henry, YEAH :-(

If I were manager (and on here we all are aren’t we?)the advice I give to my team if they are not quite firing on all four is to do what Spurs are doing for Harry, namely up the work rate another 15%. Teams like Man Ure have been rattled this season by teams who “get at them” from the word go. We have done this a few times this season for 10-20 minutes and then taken our foot off the gas and disappointed many. Wolves fans will applaud a team giving their all regardless of the result, and conversly they will get on the backs of a non-trying outfit. I feel if you work hard, then harder, good things will come. A good solid tackle, a chase down of a seemingly lost cause, a good save will all inspire the team. Inspiration breeds confidence and as confidence grows the skill level improves as players are not afraid to be creative and try something unusual.Results improve, crowd happy, team happy and many fans go to work on a Monday for a change, productivity improves, country comes out of recession, England become World Power again, wins World Cup,puts manned space craft on Moon,removes tax on beer and gets rid of the mole in my lawn. All that from one good solid, awe inspiring slide tackle!

You know that there are some very good therapists on the NHS that can help you my friend as it appears to anyone who has a brain that you’re not really who you are pretending to be
As I personally know the real Bridget & Tony – who are lifelong Wolves fans ST holders for years and decent people – It saddens me to read your mind numbing attempts at humour at someone else’s expense
PS Your pathetic attempt at a “joke” about the Bhatti’s and a very sad era in the club’s history is an excellent example of this
IF you have any intelligence at all; Use your own imagination and create your own message board identity
You may well find by actually joining in discussions and making some real points you may just enjoy it
NB* If you were actually funny and anything you say is enjoyable maybe no-one would see any problem with this – but your self styled “mocking/ flippant remarks” of the bhatti era/ buckets etc is really beyond words – pathetic doesnt even do it justice!
Do yourself a favour including everyone else on here – Try and get a life my friend! ;-)
UP THE WOLVES!
