Wolves have a two week break before their next game at Villa on March 19th. That will give the players the time to rest their limbs, and some injured players to get back to fitness again and for the fans to recover from the fabulous game at Molineux on Sunday. And now there are just nine games to go and Wolves remain one off the bottom of the league.
As we were hoping before the weekend that Wigan and Blackpool would get no points and they remain the two favourites for the drop in my eyes. From their last 12 games Blackpool have got 7 points and Wigan 9 points. They will both need improvement to beat the drop. Albion have become harder to beat under Hodgson but in their next 5 games they play Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea at home and Sunderland and Spurs away so they will do well to average a point a game from those. West Ham are improving but have away games at Spurs, Chelsea, Bolton and Man City to come and home games against Man Utd and Villa. Blues are finding it as hard as ever to score goals and have started conceding. Blackburn are falling fast and still have to play Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City, And Stoke are getting worried and still have to play Chelsea, Spurs, Man City and Arsenal.
Wolves meanwhile have got 19 points from the last 15 games so at that level of points gathering will get 11 or 12 from the last 9 which will take them to 40 or 41 points and surely safety. They are 11th in the current form tables covering the last 6 games and only West Ham in the bottom half of the table are better on current form.
The game against Spurs showed Wolves have not only the spirit but also the ability to compete with good teams. And what about the following team; Hahnemann, Zubar, Craddock, Mouyokolo, Ward, Kightly, O’Hara, Edwards, Hunt, Fletcher, SEB. Thats a team of players that didn’t start against Spurs and I can’t believe there are many clubs in the relegation fight that could cope better with injury problems over the last 9 games. And it’s looking more and more likely that Kightly can get back amongst the squad this season. He played another hour for the reserves on Monday and scored in the 2-1 defeat at Blackburn.
Frustration now after everyone was buzzing after the Spurs game that there is only one more game in March before the 8 weekends that will decide Wolves fate in April and May. Five away games left at Villa, Newcastle, Stoke, Birmingham and Sunderland. I would set a target of 4 points from those games. And four home games to come against Everton, Fulham, Albion and Blackburn. Surely there’s at least two wins in there.
It’s gonna be ok, honestly.

You guys best stay up. The Chelsea Offside is backing you all the way.
Mikey | March 8th, 2011 at 3:28 am Been at the bottom end too long all the other teams have done better than us so far so what is likely to change now?
I don’t buy the old other teams have a harder run in than us that’s almost like going for snookers!
It will be a nice surprise for me if we stay up!
DJ | March 8th, 2011 at 9:48 am Mikey – we don’t need to improve to stay up. The reason we are where we are is because of the terrible run we had through September, October and November when we got only 4 points from 12 games. Our form since then has been good enough to stay up. If you looked at the league table before we beat Sunderland at the end of November we were 5 behind Wigan now we are 2 ahead, we were 7 behind Blues now we are 1 behind, 7 behind Albion now 3 behind, 9 behind Blackpool and Blackburn now 3 behind, and 10 behind Stoke now 5 behind. If current form contiunes till the end of the season we will not go down, in fact we would be likely to finish 15th again. And yes of all those teams we probably have the easiest run in.
