Wolves v Sheffield Wednesday: Nuno's men looking to sign off in style

Hitting the 100-point mark, breaking a club record and, as Conor Coady says, ‘for enjoyment’ are the routes Wolves will be heading down as they look to sign off their most special of seasons in style.

Victory over Sheffield Wednesday will see Wolves smash the three-figure barrier for just the second time in their history, the first being in their 2013/14 League One title-winning campaign.

If they win both tomorrow and at Sunderland on the final day next weekend they’ll reach 104 points, breaking a club record which was set at 103 by Kenny Jackett’s team.

Wolves would become just the sixth second-tier side in history to get to the 100 mark, after Sunderland (in 1999), Fulham (2001), Reading (2006), Newcastle (2010) and Leicester (2014).

There are personal milestones to play for, too.

In-form forward Diogo Jota needs two goals to reach 20 for the season. Since Steve Bull retired in 1999, only three Wolves players have hit that mark – Dean Sturridge (2001/02), Kenny Miller (2003/03 and 2004/05) and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (2008/09).

Aside from the targets – and Nuno Espirito Santo is certainly keen to hit at least 100 – key player Coady says Wolves want to enjoy themselves on the football field, having earned that right by winning promotion with games to spare.

“We’re in a lovely position where we can enjoy playing,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong we always enjoy playing football, but you’ve always got that pressure on your shoulders.

“We can enjoy it now, we’ve got to where we wanted to be, we’re champions of the Championship.

“We’re in a privileged position where we can enjoy it.

“I cant wait (for Saturday), what a game that is.

“It’s a strange feeling we’re in where we can play and enjoy the game without any real pressure on our shoulders.

“We can prepare right, play the way we play and hopefully get another win. The manager doesn’t let us lose focus, that’s what he’s done all season. We keep on going.”

There’ll certainly be a carnival atmosphere at a packed Molineux. Fans are being given flags to wave and there’ll be a mosaic in the Steve Bull upper stand that will spell out ‘We’re back!’.

On the field, the players are looking forward to an ‘extra special’ day, wing-back Barry Douglas said, as he paid tribute to his team mates.

“Molineux has been electric all season and it’ll be extra special on Saturday,” he said.

“You look at the individual talent we’ve got in the team, it’s incredible.

“As a team, there’s been no-one better in the division. Everyone has worked as a team, right throughout the whole team.

“Everyone is doing their part and pulling in the same way, that’s why we’ve had a special season.”
