    3 points tomorrow I will take 1-0 and a point at Derby. Reading v sheff utd will be a draw, hopefully charlton can grab a point, still in our hands.

    1 LW I agree 3 points tomorrow is important, but I think we should go for maximum at Derby.
    They played last night away at Cardiff, are playing away at the Owls on saturday, so have a slightly tougher schedule than we have had. We need to play Monday at a high tempo.
    It may not be a bad thing for Reading to win tomorrow against the Blades, as that will keep both of them 5 points behind us, with Blues and Reading still to play.

    It really doesn’t matter what all the others get up to as long as we beat S’ton. That will give us a lift and the games are running out fast.

    no.2 I would love 6 points but 4 would be a good return in light of our injury problems. I agree a Reading win would be handy as they will stay 8 points behind (if we win) with a game in hand. Would be typical of this league for blues to lose at charlton. Sheff utd need a good hiding after beating alot of avertage teams recently they need bringing down with a bang. Eeveryone needs to get behind the boys tomorrow.

    Good Video chaps. Hope you enjoyed your pint. I think should Wolves not let an early goal in we will get victory by 2/3 goals buy if the nerves set in and saints get ahead could be a different story like last season at Molineux. Hopefully we have learned from our mistakes and Mick will get us a first win at home against the in turmoil club Southampton by losing 0-6 and drawing 2-2 previously. But hopefully the Saints will be worried about their situation and will roll over should Wolves nick an early goal. Thats never the case as we know from the other night they battled a point out of relegation rivals Watford. As we are top hopefully that might just happen. I’ll be confident to go 4-1 Wolves, D.Jones 10mins, B-W-Philips 17mins, Harewood 42mins, Keogh 56mins, Craddock with a late header to seal a hard fort rout. Derby away another tough fixture they got batterd at Cardiff last night has been a lucky ground for Wolves over the years has pride park so i’ll say 1-2 Wolves with a first of the season for Karl Henry and a late header to clinch it from super sub Sammy Vokes. Up The Wolves! We shall not be moved, from the top of the Championship. We shall not be moved!

    I work at a car dealership about 150 yards from Stoke’s ground and i have to say you can’t hear yourself think come about 1/2 two on a Saturday right trough until 5.00. the atmosphere is brilliant and thats whats got them a great home record. We need to replicate this for the last three home games and we will get to where we need to be. ps any wolf looking for a nearly new Ford i’m ya man, you’ll know it’s me as i’m the one who does’nt keep saying aye up duck.

    Tomorrow is vital…we need to win that then focus on the next game. Please play no more than one of henry, keogh or ward. For what my opinion is worth, they are fine as squad players and any of them can play in a team but it must be one only. More than that and the team struggles. Season ticket holder but I went to watch kiddy harriers the other week and there’s only Keogh out of them who may stand out. Would like to see Vokes start for a change?
    fingers crossed tomorrow and a win will certainly put the pressure on the others.

    8. Great shout….the south bank has been brilliant at times this season but can go quiet…ned to keep the noise going.
    get onto youtube and type in ‘st pauli’ or ‘fcunited of manchester’ for the type of ongoing support the team needs. (usually have a distaste for manu but these lot are different class)

    We will do it tomorrow, but it will be close. With our striker problems, I can’t see more than one goal between us. Saints are still very motivated. Their troubles off-pitch seem to have galvanised them. Apparently they took 2000 supporters to Watford. I’ll be travelling up from Southampton area so naturally I am counting on a Wolves’ win to make my return journey all the sweeter!

    On the atmosphere I couldn’t help thinking on Monday night that the worst mistake on the ground was leaving the corners open. If we go up we should fill in both the Southbank sides, keep the away fans in Steve Bull lower and we would be able to generate the sort of noise we need.

    I’ve just heard that SEB is out of tomorrow’s game. I’m now beginning to get a really bad feeling about the game tomorrow. I presume that McCarthy will start with Keogh and Harewood upfront although I would start with Vokes and Harewood.
    My team tomorrow;
    Henessey
    Foley
    Hill
    Craddock
    Berra
    Quashie
    Jarvis
    Jones
    Harewood
    Vokes
    Reid

    Subs; Stack, Keogh, Edwards, Stearman, Ward

    People may think I’m made picking Quashie but I feel we need his experience in midfield and he would complement Jones well. I also feel that Henry is totally out of form and is not a leader.

    The bad news is Ebanks-Blake is out for tomorrow and hopefully will be back for Derby. The team selection – one of the poor things from Monday – is critical tomorrow. Ideally this should be the team:-
    Stack Foley Craddock Berra Hill Jarvis Jones Edwards Reid Harewood Vokes Subs: Hennessey Stearman Friend Keogh Henry

    You could possibly go with Friend for Reid but we need a win tomorrow. I very much doubt whether MM will drop Hennessey but he was partly to blame for both goals against Blues

    Anyway Wolves 2 Southampton 1
