Wolves will be hoping Ronnie Moore will be wearing that dress he so promised us he would , i hope after tommorow he'll be wearing an unhappy face as well.

Wolves v Rotherham at Molineux ko - 15-00

Wolves again find themselves in a dogfight and tomorrow is yet another one of those games that could have the faithful biting there nails till the end , one thing for Wolves though is they have enjoyed Saturday games at the Golden Palace recording big scores in the last two Saturday fixtures at Molineux 4-1 over Palace and 6-0 over Gillingham , thank god this is not a midweek home game.

With Ipswich and Norwich on there tail when two weeks ago it seemed certain Wolves had the playoffs in the bag , but with a surprise result happening tonight with Reading losing at home to Brighton maybe a few more teams will get sucked into the mire and let Wolves glide to safety.

One things for sure tomorrow will be red hot and hopefully we can see a Forest win at Ipswich , a George Burley inspired victory for the Rams against Norwich and the Old Gold steamroller The not so Merry Millers.

Team News

Wolves

Wolves are sweating on the fitness of striker Nathan Blake , he tweaked a groin in traing a few days ago but hopefully his name will be on the team sheet , if not they will be boosted by the return of George Ndah who's comeback from a hamstring problem was stopped when he became unwell with a virus , he might replace Blake if the hitman is passed unfil , they also have Dean Sturrigde and Adam Proudlock in the wings. 

Joleon Lescott has recovered after a fortnights rest he has been playing with groin and knee injurys but was passed fit in the week , only Keith Andrews who is a long term casulty with a broken leg is injured and Dave Jones is pleased to see Mo Camara back in first team dutys.

Rotherham

Rotherham have a defensive crisis with Martin Mcintosh and Guy Branston both suspended which leaves Ronnie Moore searching for a partner for Chris Swailes.

Both Curtis Woodhouse and Gareth Farrelly are to be passed fit plus striker Mark Robins in challenging Alan Lee and Darren Byfeild for a place upfront.
