With just nine games to go Wolves can tomorrow move 13 points clear of third place ahead of Villa's late kick off at Bolton, if they beat Burton Albion at Molineux.

The game is a sell-out – the seventh of the season – and managing director Dalrymple wants Molineux rocking for the league leaders.

Dalrymple told the Express & Star: "We’ve got nine games left, five of those are at home and we see the five home games as being absolutely critical ones that could get us over the line to where we want to be.

"This starts tomorrow with Burton which is another sell out, our seventh of the season.

"The support for the team this season has been absolutely unbelievable – we're going to need to continue that for the rest of the season and have an even more galvanised spirit at the entire club.

"The players have put us in a fantastic position and there's no misunderstanding from them in terms of what they need to do.

"We’re going to need everyone completely unified over these last five home games."

Wolves' record at Molineux has been poor in the past two seasons but under Nuno they possess the second best home record in the league.

Dalrymple said plenty of work had gone on to help improve the atmosphere – and called for the noise volume to be raised even higher for the final run-in.

"We've noticed a significant change in terms of atmosphere inside the ground this season," he added.

"It's not just the level of performance of the team but everything we’re doing should be making it a far more enjoyable experience inside the stadium.

"We review that on a game by game basis and we’ve got plans for the final five games to give the fans the maximum amount of feeling on unification.

"The support is incredibly valued as Nuno has said many times and we need no let up from minutes one to 94.

"Molineux has become a hard place to come to again as a result of both the performances of our team and our fans. We've won 13 of our 18 home games and that doesn't come by chance.

"It comes as a result in terms of a shift in performance on and off the pitch

"The fans take credit for that and we need them to continue and increase that intensity which will give the team that extra 10 per cent they will need."
