    My memory tells me that the 5th goal at Bristol Rovers was the 50th of the season. We should reach that landmark even earlier this time.

    Let Martin Swain write and say what he likes, but I’m not buying into this talk of promotion, even if he is. No, I’m not superstitious, I’m just level-headed. Big deal, so we’ve played 20 games…let’s see what happens over the final 26 before getting too excited/depressed. I’ve every confidence in our united club, but spare me the speculation, please. It’s an unnecessary diversion and Swain knows that!

    Let’s just concentrate on ONE GAME AT A TIME, as Mick says. No offence, but let’s listen to our club’s Manager, not a journalist trying to find something to write about, shall we?

    I respect Swainy, but don’t take the carrot, lads -STAY FOCUSED.

    I’ll be happy when we’re at least four points clear of 2nd place with one game left, until then lets see what happens.

    yes we can get promoted but to make sure its automatic we have got to get 2 or 3 quality players in january,the second half of the season is when it takes it out of the players and we need top players as good if not better to come into the team and keep us going forward,WE ARE WOLVES

    What a miserable lot we are. I am enjoying every moment of this season and the only match I got to was the Reading game. Going up, going up, going up………

    We are ten points clear of third place and just took four points from two of the best in this league. Not lost for eight games, scoring goals for fun! Come on Wolves fans enjoy it all! Oh and look down the road at that stadium with the huge black cloud over it. Happy days.

    Nobody’s being “miserable”, Caribbean Wolves: least of all me. I’m enjoying the season as much as you or anyone, mate. It’s just that I’m enjoying each individual victory on its own merits rather than getting ahead of myself. As Mick says, nobody ever won anything after 20 games.

    Thinking about promotion is one thing, but talking about it would only invite extra pressure by pumpinp-up the opposition. Instead, let’s leave that kind of foolishness to the likes of fat-gobs Jerome and Kilgallon.

    After all, they’re doing half of our work for us by ‘bigging up’ their respective clubs and inviting someone to kick the stool from under their feet…

    Hey Caribbean Wolves – well done on the season so far, it shows the wisdom of sticking with the manager through tough times. I still say it’s easier to be a Premiership team next season from our current position than yours.
    One thing that puzzles me about Wolves is that over the last 7 or 8 years, the only decent seasons you have had were when the Albion were already a league about you. Must be psychological!
