Luckily, however, the team should be slightly quicker to pick themselves up from this particular fiasco than me, for whom it’s just one demonstration too many that we aren’t looking likely to learn from our mistakes soon enough this season.

Matt Jarvis told Absolute Radio (full interview to be aired this afternoon):

Obviously we were disappointed after the game, to concede so late on, but it’s been good in the camp this week. We’ve had a good few days training, and then had a nice day off to relax, and come back in today full of good spirits and ready for the game.

Matty also talks about the persisting rumours that he’s been close to an England call up, revealing he hasn’t spoken to Capello but:

it’s everyone’s dream, to play for their country, and that’s exactly what I want to do, but I just want to keep playing well for Wolves and see what happens.

Jarvis reveals that they hope to get three points from every game this season, which sounds a good idea to me, and that the new Rhianna has been on heavy rotation in the dressing room, which sounds like a terrible idea to me.

So, on with the show.  Wolves need three points from this game.  We seem to have delighted in being inconsistent this season so I think that, after last week’s mess up and, having perhaps finally convinced a lot of people that we DON’T have what it takes to beat teams like Blackpool, I think we’ll pull a win out the bag here.

The only likely change I think we’ll see is Foley for Hammill, giving the team a slightly more attacking mindset that last week.  Blackpool will attack well, and I’d expect to see us meeting their attack with more of our own, and hopefully avoid a repeat of last week’s stupidity of sitting and waiting for them to score in the second half.

Hennessey has been much maligned after a couple of errors last week, including a culpable role in W*** B***’s goal, but I’ve been much impressed with him since his return to the team.  I think he’s likely to be need a bit today, Blackpool being a sound attacking team, but that he’s up to the challenge.  So:

Hennessey

Zubar – Stearman – Berra – Elokobi

Hammil – Milijas – O’Hara – Henry – Jarvis

Doyle

Predictions anyone?

You may think Wolfie got the picture wrong here and that the focus should be on the game and not him. He doesn't see things that way.

As I emerged blinking into the Wolverhampton sunshine after a week of overcast skies in ‘The North’, I was delighted to see Wolves put on such a dazzling display.  It doesn’t get much better than this (although Wolves could have scored more) – top of the table and scoring freely.  Kightly and Jarvis again stood out on the wings but this was, especially in the first half, a stunning team performance.  Forest may have lost their way after the first goal, but that’s because Wolves never really let them find it.  Michael Kightly says that the team is ‘hungry’.  This does seem a little sad (do we need to have a word with the chef?), but if this is the result, I for one won’t be sending them any food packages.

Stephen Ward made an even odder choice for left back than he did as a winger, but well done to him for putting in a creditable display in the circumstances.  With the international break we’ve now got two weeks to benevolently smile down on the world from the top of the league.  See you at Charlton.
