One's to Watch.

 

New signing Steven Reid is expected to try and impress. Matt Jansen will also prove a threat.

New signings Silas has impressed in Pre-Season and his ability to unlock the back line will prove a real worry for Blackburn. Henri Camara and Stefen Iversen will also be out to impress.

The Verdict

.
Are You Ready? - You Better Be! - Come On You Wolves!

Well, would you believe it? Wolves finally made it to the top flight in English Football on that memorable day in Cardiff on the 26th May 2003.

 Wolves aim this season is to survive, it`s going to be tough, but we all know that so patience from the fans could possibly prove to be the key.

 After what has seemed to be the longest pre-season of all time, Jones has strengthened the squad with a lot of relatively unknown players, but the player he has signed, bar one, are all full internationals.

 Silas, Carmara and Iversen in particular have been very impressive whilst Oleg Luzhny, Jody Craddock and Isaac Okoronkwo have all proved to be solid at the back in pre-season.

 Without wolvesfc.co.uk`s player of the season Joleon Lescott and leading goal scorer Kenny Miller out, Jones is expected to give league debuts to Jody Craddock, Steffen Iversen and Henri Camara.

 It`s Wolves of the Premiership now, it will be different, it will be difficult, but make sure you do not miss the Premiership on ITV Saturday night - For the first time ever it will feature the Wolves.

 It`s here, we must be patient, but at last, the Wolves are in the Premiership.

 Full report here after the game.
