Did they have to do this?

[Ned Stark]

from the BBC...

Wolves in cruise control
This from the good folk at Opta:
Wolves have won 19 games in the Championship this term; of the 12 previous teams to have won exactly that many of their opening 27 games in a second-tier campaign, only one has failed to win promotion (Manchester City in 1895/96). Coasting.

We've already one "Doing a Wolves". Let's not give em another.

 

[Chode]

and why is it always "the good folks at Opta." There's bound to be SOME ***** working there!

 

[Deleted member 4594]

I'll just put this on again...

On the Derby forum one of their lot went through our run in and made a fairly conservative prediction for each of our games (i.e. way off our current pace), and when all was said and done they reckon Derby would still need to win 15 out of their final 19 games to even draw level.

It really would take a catastrophic dip in form for us to lose it now.

This is it :

Wildest dreams is 21 points dropped. So out of remaining 57 points they only get 36

36 plus 62 already gained is 98 points

Derby would need 46 points from 19 games or W15 D1 L3

Our best/only chance is to remain unbeaten until the end of the season

This needs to be made a sticky on every page of every match thread.

Quibil? Underwear on my head already.

 

[marrs-guitar]

Yep, Middlesbrough away has always been a nailed-on win for Wolves

 

[Essex Wolf]

Lets just wait and see.

 

[Andy]

That Derby fan has us winning at Boro, which never happens.

Yeah I read that last night on there really does show what a great position we got ourselves into tbh

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

And I was going to start saying we’re doing a Man City....

 

[greco wolf]

98 points should do it!!

We only need 10 wins to be sure, that's 92 and home and dry

9 would probably do it

9 from 19? - i.e. 27 points from 57 - should not be that hard in all honesty

win tomorrow and 8 from 18 is even better - look at some of those home games: Sheff W, Burton, B'ham, Hull, Norwich -

Our home form alone should do it - 10 home games left ALL winnable or worst case drop the odd point.

 

[Stratman Wolves]

Funny, Doing a Wolves could also refer to the double relegation freefall like Sunderland is doing now.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Edit:- What @marrs-guitar said.

Not never... the last time we won there was 1951

 

[Essex Wolf]

Maybe Sunderland can take our crown and afterwards will be known as doing an "Howay down the leagues"

 

[Andy]

I know, might as well be never though. It's not like we haven't had enough shots at it.

If we don't do it this year we never will!

 

[Wolferoo]

Perhaps after this season "doing a Wolves" might have a new meaning...a class apart!

 

[oldgoldheart]

Funny, Doing a Wolves could also refer to the double relegation freefall like Sunderland is doing now.

Or having the highest ever points total not to make the playoffs (78) or finishing outside the playoffs by 1 goal (level on points) or by having the second highest total in history to be relegated from the second tier......

We don’t only have to win these games, we have to win these games. It will be hard, there are a lot of good teams and players in this division, I hope the players aren’t this complacent and have more respect for their opponents, the points we have to date is in some ways irrelevant to the points we get going forward UTW.

 

[reanswolf]

11 out of 12 teams eh............that's about 63% ay it -

Barnsley for a start!

Luckily I think the management and players have the right attitude!

 

[Deleted member 5242]

I'm getting bored of saying it but... one match at a time, relax, enjoy it. These are the best days I've known in my lifetime don't wish them away. Soak up every minute. **** the stats and predictions

 

[Deleted member 4594]

Barnsley for a start!

The same Barnsley who we’ve taken 4 points off this season, sit in 19th place and are 35 points behind us?

The point is anyone can take points off anyone in this division, and actually a point at Oakwell is good. We’re in a healthy position, but no one gets promoted in January, nothing wrong with a bit of confidence, but lots wrong with complacency or even arrogance.

Agree a point was decent last week.
Sorry though mate, Iv been an arrogant **** about wolves since August and I’m not changing now!

Not Barnsley? let's try QPR then! They must have some terrific players to have beaten us!

 

[Soho Wolf]

Barnsley for a start!

4 points, 2 points per game. Exactly what we need. If that's your barometer for this season then we're up.

 

[AW]

Maybe Sunderland can take our crown and afterwards will be known as doing an "Howay down the leagues"

Only two teams have gone from top tier to the third in consecutive seasons. Us and Swindon, we have managed to achieve it twice though!

Swansea did it in the 80s as well.

Nottingham Forest?

 

[Deleted member 4594]

Nottingham Forest?

Didn’t think they were that good to be honest.

 

[QB Wolf]

Didn’t think they were that good to be honest.

They probably weren’t but I suppose that’s the point, very few easy games.
