Scenario:
Well we know that it was Norwich that ultimately ended our promotion hopes last season but that’s gone now and this is where we can make a home win count.
Wolves are currently in 8th and Norwich in 4th with 6 points between the teams but Wolves have a game in hand on their Norfolk rivals.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last nine league matches.
In the same period the Canaries have won 4 drawn 2 and lost 3 so it’s surprising to see them so high in the table on the back of that form.
What about the opposition?
Norwich at home, are as good as anyone in the league.
It’s on their travels that they struggle. 3 straight defeats on the road will give Wolves some cause for optimism.
Having lost to Birmingham in the play-off final they’ve re-grouped and are more prominent this season and are always solid.
They’ve as good a goal difference as Wolves but do concede more away from home.
Soon to follow for Wolves:
Coventry at home, who are sinking fast at the moment then Millwall away, which is a fixture, we’ll be lucky to get anything from.
Score Prediction:
Well the local Norwich press are building the game up as a big ‘grudge’ match.
I can’t see it myself.
Wolves’ self-destruction was well in place before the 3-1 defeat at Carrow Road.
I think that if Cameron starts we definitely can win the game. Having seen how poor the midfield was last Saturday evening at Rotherham he needs to return to support the forwards.
It remains to be seen whether Deano or Cole will start with Miller.
However, Norwich will easily soak up pressure unless there is a drastic change of tactics to link the forwards with the midfield.
With Ince and Rae being effectively the same player there is a real doubt that we have the quality, guile and craft to unlock Norwich.
Norwich will be all out to avoid defeat so I expect another draw.
Come on the Wolves!
