Last two homes games we rode our luck for the first 20 min , could have easily been 3 down in both games.

Believe if we are going to get anything from this game this has to change.

I agree, Wolves tend to score early and most of their goals are in the first half. Also when they score first they usually win. So the longer we can keep a clean sheet the better and we could do with scoring first too. I'll settle for 1-0 with a last minute winner.
 
A lot has been made of how strongly we finish games, but I think Wolves will be a hell of a challenge throughout the entire game. Budget wise, quality wise and experience wise, the difference is utterly immense and anything we get above 0 points will be a monumental achievement.

I went to wolves earlier in the season and we deserved a draw at the very least. Obviously two big players out for us on Saturday which doesn't help but i don't think they are this big unbeatable force you're making them out to be.

Weren’t Cardiff top when we beat them with a late goal?

They were when we beat them 3-0.

We outplayed Wolves for most of the game at Molyneux, some bad luck and poor refereeing cost us.

Quite a few Wolves fans said we were the best team to visit Molineux this season and with all our defenders pretty much back in place we have every chance. Like most are pointing out though first 30 mind are key.
 
Agree with a lot of these comments.

A dog ruff first 20, keep it tight build into the game,

A hostile, vocal home support,

I think the team will almost be picking itself, so that leaves formation and tactics, I just know I would not like to be AN on this one.
