If this team can’t beat the St Mary’s hoodoo then I have to wonder if we ever will!
I would have to argue that this is the best Wolves side for many many years. Just look at their ages and the amount of full and U21 internationals, 4 of the bench are regular full caps for their respective nations!!!!!
Bizzarley in this day and age there is only one player who falls outside of the British/Irish bracket (unless you count Ikeme’s tentative Nigerian link). I’m buzzin!!
Come on me babbies!!!!
