Just as Wolves are perfectly capable of providing teams with their first victory of the season, we are equally capable of providing the first defeat.
However, all is not well in WV1 with speculation surrounding the sudden departure of our sometime captain, player of the season and most experienced defender to Fulham, the absence of playmaker McDonald from the Bolton trip and the disappearance of initially ever-present winger Rajiv van la Parra.
The squad changes so much that it wouldn't surprise me to see mugshots of Wolves players on milk cartons soon.
After the Bolton fiasco, Jackett described the club as "naive". Not the team, not the squad but the club. To many of us who decode tea-leaves and consult tarot cards after every interview, this was significant. Jackett, like Mick McCarthy before him, rarely puts a word out of carefully ordered place. If he said "club", he absolutely meant "club". The danger signals are there. Jackett has left clubs before after believing that he has taken them as far as he can: many can see the same happening at Wolves.
However, there are others who feel that Jackett is astute at picking a team, but rather inept at managing the team during the game. He doesn't seem good at changing things around when things are deteriorating during a game.
However, for this match, I expect a strong, hard response. Wolves tend to do well in adversity these days.
But it's a frighteningly young team and squad. Any younger and we would need formula milk sponsorship at half time and any matchday photos would be referred to the CPS.
Possible line up:
1-0 Wolves. Att: 21,662.
Edit: Except for Wolves fans, I suspect that every single person who reads this will have a look at that teamsheet and go....."I have never heard of a single one of those players. Oh! Except for Afobe."
