Two weeks off: Good or Bad?

Battle of two of the three best teams in this division to wear a variant of orange in their kits. (Bristol City, Hull and Wolves (not mention Blackpool))

Time to find out the answer to that question and after two weeks off we have Bristol City at their home ground tomorrow.

They have won one of their last seven i believe, and we have one four of the last five away games. In addition to that we have our star winger Michael Kightly back in training and partaking in a special reserve game this coming Tuesday with a view to coming back next Saturday.

Squeaky bum time as they say and we better be ready.

Our run in begins tomorrow and with young defender Mark Little back in the fold with the aforementioned Kightly fighting for places and filling out the squad.

As long as Steven Elliot doesn't get anywhere near the squad anytime in the near future, then we have a good chance of not messing this up.

But.... we're Wolves, and even a short glance at our recent history would tell you that this is not the time to get too optimistic. Something that most Wolves fans, myself included have a hard time accepting.

With three games in a week and all three being extremely important lithmus tests showing the true character of the squad we have.

I don't believe in the large gap between the Premier League and the Championship that everyone cries about week in and week out. I believe in the Portsmouths and the Readings of this world, and I wholeheartedly believe that any team that goes up this year has a shot to truly stay around for a little while.

While there are some exceptions to this though. Ipswich, Plymouth and some other hoverers look like Derby part II, but you never know.

I for one would love to be $60 million USD richer, and try again or steadily improve our chances for the years to come with that boatload of money.

Maybe I just want to see us beat the likes of Manure again.
