Help Wolves

Help support Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club

Wolverhampton Wanderers secured their return to the English Premier League with an impressive Championship title this season, posting final stats of 30 wins, nine draws and seven defeats.

A stunning campaign for all connected to the Molineux club but failure to win any of their last two league matches – a goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday and a surprise 3-0 defeat to Sunderland – meant they just missed out on the magic 100 points mark, ending with 99 on the board.

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves believes Wolverhampton Wanderers should now finish the job of attaining automatic promotion after claiming back-to-back wins over Reading and Burton Albion. The west Midlands outfit had suffered a minor setback prior to the victories, but they have steadied the ship once more, with a 13-point lead over third-placed Aston Villa.

Speaking after the Burton triumph, Neves stressed that the Wolves are focused on their job at hand as they seek to end their six-year wait for Premier League promotion, he said: "It was a very good win for us. We know Burton came to Molineux to win points, they need points, but we did a very good job. It was really cold but the team are focused and the weather doesn't matter for us – we just play. Fortunately, we can play good and win the game on Saturday. We are focused on our game. We had some bad results before but we bounced back really good. We showed we're focused on our Championship.”

Fulham favourite Tony Gale has spoken fondly about Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo ahead of the upcoming Championship clash at Craven Cottage. The west Midlands club have excelled under the management of the former Porto boss, and they now face a tricky test against one of the division's most in-form teams in Fulham.

Fulham started the season in a relatively slow fashion which saw them drop up to 17th in the standings, but they have built up form over the past few months which sees them eight points adrift off Cardiff City, who occupy the second automatic promotion place for the Premier League.

Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban has emerged as a transfer target for Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers this month. The 29-year-old recently returned to the south Coast after a fruitful loan stint with Sunderland for whom he contributed 12 goals in just 20 outings.

Grabban sought to end his temporary stay with Sunderland owing to his desire to pursue a permanent deal, and according to The Birmingham Mail, the Wolves are deemed the frontrunners to secure his services. Grabban has not found much success with Eddie Howe's side since his return in 2016, and he is more or less expected to return to the Championship, where he could have a lifeline with the Wolves.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito has provided a fascinating insight into his players' performances following their 2-0 win over Reading on Saturday afternoon. The victory sees them top of the Championship after more than one-third of the campaign, and they look on course to make a return to the top-flight next term.

Speaking after the game, Nuno talked up his player's dedication towards the promotion hunt, he said: "The result is not important, it's the way you perform. The result can be a win, loss or draw but if you play well you go out of the stadium happy knowing you gave everything and play the way you believe. You have to only worry about your tasks and perform well - results will come after. The way they engage with the idea and dedicate themselves to our work, this is what's pleased me."
