Tomorrow evening sees us travel to the league leaders and I feel anything other than a win and we can accept that a belated push for a play-off place is out of our reach, unless several of the teams ahead of us self destruct.
Updates from Colney - DF: "Moritz and Timm are both available for tomorrow. We have to be careful with the lads' load and will make decisions."
On new lads “they’re pretty close to the starting line-up, also Mario Vrancic” so DF happy he has the options needed to rotate “without losing our focus”.
"Our young players will grow from the experience. It wasn't our best performance but we have the feeling we are heading in the right direction."
Back on Ipswich, lessons learned, spoke with Jamal Lewis about giving away a ‘naive’ free-kick in the lead up to Town’s goal (from which the corner was then won, I think?) but DF ‘totally content’ with the progress Jamal is making & his overall performance.
On Grant Hanley’s form: “Grant is an outstanding character, really a leader for us, I’m totally content with his performances.” Adds that still young (relatively, 26, off the top of my head) and can keep developing his game.
The 2-0 home defeat is the only game a team was ‘much better’ than [HASHTAG]#NCFC[/HASHTAG] but DF feels his team have developed since then, kept lots of clean sheets away from home, “we are looking forward to this game”.
“There is no pressure on us”, if they lose, they learn, but expects his team to give a ‘totally committed’ display at Molineux. Sounds like Srbeny may get his chance, DF liked his body language on Sunday.
More updates - GH: "The goal is a bit of a blur. It's not a position I'm used to being in! I just tried to keep it in then get it into the box."
"We've been good away from home this year. We've been solid and organised. We'll play our game and look for a positive result."
We don't look at the table. We're on a good run which we need to keep going so won't look too far ahead."
“Something we’ve spoken about, that we need goals from all around the park.” Says he and Zimmermann hoping to chip in, (NOTE General - NOT 'Chip INN!!!) helps take pressure off the front players. Humble about his part in the equaliser.
"All the lads are working together. We have a great team spirit."
Sky preview
Leo Bonatini and Romain Saiss could both be back in the Wolves team for the visit of Norwich.
Both players were included on the bench against Preston on Saturday following injury and came on as late substitutes towards the end of the 1-1 draw at Deepdale. Saiss, along with Ruben Neves, is just one yellow card away from a two-game suspension for accumulating 10 cautions.
Fit-again captain Ivo Pinto looks likely to return to the Norwich starting line-up. The defender has recovered from a knee problem he sustained when getting out of his car and was an unused substitute for the derby draw with Ipswich on Sunday.
New boys Onel Hernandez and Dennis Srbeny are also pushing for their first starts while on-loan Tottenham midfielder Marcus Edwards (back) may also be in contention for a belated debut.
Wolves' only home defeat in their last 15 matches against Norwich at Molineux in all competitions was in the most recent meeting last season, losing 2-1.
The Canaries haven't lost back to back league games against Wolves since September 2007.
Wolves have lost only one of their last 18 Championship matches (W13 D4), although that defeat came at Molineux against Nottingham Forest in January.
After losing four consecutive away league matches, Norwich are unbeaten in their last five on the road (W3 D2).
