Win Lose Or Draw?: Being a Wolves fan is not easy. We have two teams, one team loses to Wimbledon, gets thumped 4-1 at Brighton and Bradford City - The other beats Newcastle 3-2, Leicester 4-1 and Ipswich 4-2...So just which Wolves team will turn up? Walsall Vs Notts Forest

Preston Vs Wolves

Competition : Nationwide League Division Once

Date & Time: 22.2.03 - 3.00pm
Tickets: Wolves still have a small number of tickets left for the game.

News: Manager Craig Brown has said that Preston will not be following up Neil Prince after the Southport player put in a good performance in the reserves. Brown has also hinted that David Healy will return to Deepdale after his loan-spell with Norwich.

News: Wolves may be forced to rest Mark Kennedy after he visited his Specialist in Germany. Kennedy has been struggling with a sore hamstring in recent week and Wolves hope a trip to his specialist may sort the Ireland International out. Mark Clyde and Shaun Newton however will be ready to step in should Kennedy and Butler (Injured on Wed) not make the game.

Prediction

0-4

The Verdict: As a Wolves fan we never know which team is going to turn up. The last Three away games sums Wolves season up (S.Wed 0 Wolves 4 - Brighton 4 - Wolves 1 - Ipswich- 2- Wolves 4) but this is another "must win" game should Wolves want to sustain and maintain their Play-Off spot.

Wolves are in the middle of a hectic schedule with, due to our impressive cup run, a midweek game nearly every week until` the end of the season.

George Ndah and Kenny Miller will be looking to add to their tally whilst Dean Sturridge, Adam Prouclock and Nathan Blake are all chomping at the bit..
