Louie from mywolves blog and I have swapped previews and he is too nice to us !!!

I have to say that I quite like Wolves, used to go to the Molineux a fair bit and stood on the old South Bank in the Bull/Dennison/Mutch era

=========================

One fact that might Villa’s fears (if any) is that in recent times Wolves are crap at derbies. We haven’t one a derby game this season, or last season and the season before that. We put in a good performance at Molineux in October but the games against Birmingham have brought us disappointment.

If I had to pick a team to replace Liverpool in the top four it would definitely be Villa. I know I shouldn’t but I like Villa’s style and their players. Martin O’Neill has done a superb job and the type of players he has bought has moved Villa onto the that next level. The three wingers, in my opinion, are the best English ones. I don’t know if you count Milner as a winger anymore but he’s been fantastic this season, Downing of course was injured at the start but looks good and Young is a top class player. I like Heskey and Carew, they are a good match for Agbonlahor who could be one of many at Villa who flies with England to South Africa.

If you watch MOTD then you know what are season has been like. All the endevour but no real flair. The only player who looked like bringing that was Nenad Milijas and Mick McCarthy dropped him. Player of the year at the Molineux is already sewn up. Kevin Doyle has been unbelievable this season, he is unlikely to be playing for wolves regardless what league we are in. Some of our players have started to come out of their shell. Matt Jarvis has been a great attacking threat for us on the left wing, he’s one of the quickest players in the league and Adlene Guedioura, our Algerian centre midfielder, has given us some extra bite in the centre of the park since signing in January. A player who Villa have been linked with recently has also been one of our best players this season. Karl Henry, our captain, has made the step up look easy.

But with the 451 we have been playing for the last ten games, we lack goals. Our star player last season, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has struggled with fitness and not scored quite as many as we expected (his only goal was against Villa). Michael Kightly has been injured all season, and only made a few appearances this season. He scored ten and set up twenty five last season and has only made an impact in one game this season. That was also against Aston Villa, where he got the penalty.

I think it will be quite close, but in the end you will get the win. You will have to much quality for us.

Good luck (after tomorrow of course) for the rest of the season.
