If we are to have any credible chance of finishing in the Top four or Five - which might secure a CL place, then this game is another cliche 'must win'.
We're now 4points behind Chelsea who are in 4th, we dropped to 6th after they put us to the sword last week.
We'll have to hope that their form falls away again and ours miraculously picks up, that said Jose has made it crystal clear that without a recognised Striker all he's looking forward to is next seasons pre-season.
So if ever there was a game to show that he's greater than the sum of his interviews, this is the one to shut up critics like me of his negativity and his pre and post-match despondency. I will be delighted if he does.
I don't subscribe to the theory that without a recognised striker we can't win. Bergwijn has played the central striker at his previous club and apparently did pretty well at it. He may well be the answer to leading our line, if we have a change of tactics and once again show some boldness and belief.
Our home form has been inconsistent (at best) but encouragingly Wolves recent away form hasn't been that good either with just two wins out of their last six. Their defence has been suspect, despite playing some good looking football and attracting many admirers, that said with a net spend of near £140 mill and having had to refinance themselves just a few months ago and apparently looking for my outside financing, Europe for them is an absolute must.
So with their defence and our apparent non-existant attack, a draw looks on the cards.
I'm told that Jose and his team have been stung by all the criticism and are determined to answer it where it matters, for the sake of our own European ambitions, let's hope that he does and the negativity build around the club and the feeling that he's getting his excuses in early, are consigned to the dustbin.
Lose this and surely any pretentions to finishing in the Top4/5 are dead and buried?
