With premier league survival all but guaranteed last weekend, Wolves now hope to look up the table rather than over their shoulder. On that note, Molineux welcomes Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow afternoon with a 2pm kick off. The three points at Portman Road were vital and were provided along with a very good performance to equal it ….. great pictures of our winning team too, non-better than the now pretty famous Andre selfie!! Ultimately Pereira has got us playing and with 4 wins, one draw and one defeat in the last six league matches, form and points have both picked up considerably too. That includes three wins and a draw during the games without Cunha. Why did we worry?!
On that point, Mattheus Cunha is back, the suspension is over however Pereira has already confirmed he wants to keep to the same winning starting line up versus Spurs with Cunha on the bench … although surely he will get on the pitch. At least we don’t have to think about the starting line-up, it’s become very settled.
Spurs have mixed form of late, beating Southampton last weekend, their first league victory since thrashing Ipswich 4-1 on February 22nd. Additionally, our game with Spurs in December was a great point for Wolves in the very early Vitor days, two brilliant goals from Hwang and Larsen. Is there a sense Spurs are there for the taking? Definitely not, but it is winnable, Spurs have lost five of their last six away games (all competitions) and Wolves must feel confident, deservedly so after a run of positive results and in the knowledge that victory will put us just two points behind them. Additionally our recent record versus Spurs will provide added positivity. It’s certainly a fixture where goals can be expected, two sides who have provided the top total goal tally this season, Spurs matches resulting in 103 goals (F58 A45) and Wolves 102 (F43 A59).
If we win, it’ll be four wins on the trot, the first time to achieve this in the top flight since January 1972, the month I made my very first visit to Molineux when we drew! Strand Larsen is also looking to score in his fourth consecutive match which demonstrates how he has stepped up.
I hope everyone enjoys the game, unfortunately it will not be televised live, one of three premier league fixtures to kick off at 2pm. Please leave your comments, views and thoughts in the thread in the usual way. I will not be able to provide updates for this game as I and a few other Ivybridge Wolves will be cheering them on from the North Bank. Looking forward to it!
Good luck to the lads! UTW!
