Here’s how Twitter reacted to Steve Bruce’s starting XI.

NUFC360 – “Change central.”

HarryWilding_ – “After seeing the lineups, can we just forfeit and give the win to Wolves? Might as well avoid any more injuries.”

@Clinton_Forde – “Don't know about you but I like my line-ups tactical not numerical. At first glance, I thought we were playing the Longstaffs up top and Joelinton in defence....OR ARE WE?”

@Futman11Jr – “I’d like to upgrade my prediction to 6-0 Wolves.”

@Sirmilburn – “#NUFC starting Gayle today to put him in the shop window hoping for him to have a decent game. Did the same with Muto last week They can’t wait to get rid.”

@OliAshman – “How many injuries will NUFC pick up today? Probably more than the goals we will score!”

@Bristol_NUFC – “Steve Bruce tactical masterclass incoming.”
