Wolves: will give fitness tests to strikers Nathan Blake and Dean Sturridge before tomorrow's top-of-the-table clash, Kenny Miller and George Ndah could deputise for them. Dave Jones is still without defender Kevin Muscat (suspended) Ludovic Pollet and Mark Kennedy. Muscat's replacement Sean Connelly limped off against Burnley, so Jones will choose between loan signings Gunnar Halle and Jacob Laursen.

Man City: Eyal Berkovic is still out injured for City and either Sun Jihai or Gerard Wiekens will deputise. Darren Huckerby seems certain to partner 30-goal Shaun Goater up front, meaning another substitute role for Ł5 million forward Jon Macken. Paulo Wanchope and Nicky Weaver are also out for the season and Danny Tiatto is suspended.

Wolves boss Dave Jones remains defiant that they will hold onto second place and is already focusing on their crunch clash with leaders Manchester City at Molineux on Monday.
"We've never talked about West Brom and looked over our shoulders," said Jones.
"This win keeps us within a good shout of Manchester City and all is to play for now on Easter Monday when they roll into town."
"We knew they would have a right go at us after the break and we didn't want to concede early on but that's exactly what happened," Jones added.
"Our first-half play was excellent and the second half was battling and we showed those qualities too."
"It looked a goal," conceded Jones, "but there was a lot of pushing and shoving going on and some things you get, some you don't. Oakesy said he was pushed."

The decisions bewildered Burnley boss Stan Ternent, who raged at the Orpington official.
"I've just seen Taylor's goal on video and it was a perfectly good goal and their first goal was offside," he said.
"I don't want to talk about the referee as I haven't got enough money, but in my view it was an incompetent performance.
"Referees are like God, they are not always right but never wrong.
"I find Alan Moore's sending off quite incredible, beyond human comprehension. I felt he went to head the ball and I didn't even think it was a booking.
"Alan Moore has never been spoken to or cautioned by the referee and he gets a straight red card.
"When you work as hard as we have worked all season all we want is a little bit of fairness and consistency. We've got amateur people running a professional sport.
"It happens all over the country, every week, managers talking about referees."

Wolves have signed 36-year-old Gunnar Halle on loan until the end of the season, but the former Norway international midfielder is unlikely to make the move a permanent one as his contract at Bradford runs out at the end of the season and he's expected to return to Norway in the summer.

Defender Jacob Laursen has signed on loan from Leicester until the end of the season with a view to a permanent switch, the player had been linked with a loan move to Molineux over the last couple of day's.

Wolves Boss Dave Jones said after the game "If you had said we would be in this position with five games to go, we would have taken it'' .
"There are going to be signs of nerves, although the performance was far better than last week's. It wouldn't go in for us but at least we had a go."
"Other people might see it differently but we feel we have dropped two points that we could have picked up on Manchester City.''
"We have no control on what the others do. It is what we do that counts and we have to play a few more teams now who are up near the top, so it is not going to be easy.''

Mark Kennedy is out of tomorrow's match with Norwich and Paul Butler, Alex Rae and Dean Sturridge are hoping to be fit.
Kennedy will be out of action for another week or two with his groin problem and George Ndah or Kenny Miller are expected to replace him. Butler has missed training all week with a bout of sciatica and faces a late fitness test. Dean Sturridge (hamstring) and Alex Rae (calf) have been undergoing treatment this week and should be fit.

Division 2 leaders Reading are hoping to complete the loan signing of transfer listed striker Michael Branch. Royals manager Alan Pardew is looking to strengthen his squad and wants to test Branch's credentials in the promotion run-in.
Pardew said: 'Michael would be the final piece in our jigsaw between now and the end of the season.
'I wanted to act well before deadline day and not have to be in the hat with everybody else this time next week.
'Again the Chairman has shown his commitment by sanctioning this, and it's a good opportunity for ourselves and Michael to have a look at each other with a view to next season,' he told the club's official website.
The 23-year-old was a regular in Wolves first team during his first 18 months with the club, but he has made just five starts and two substitute appearances this season, he joined Wolves from Everton in a Ł500,000 transfer two years ago.

Other transfer news: Wolves have played down speculation that they are set to make an offer for Newcastle's 23-year-old Andy Griffin before next Thursday's transfer deadline as a replacement for Kevin Muscat.
A Wolves spokesman has today, played down the speculation although he did admit that Manager Dave Jones does not usually reveal his transfer targets until a deal is in the offing.

Wolves have also informed the Irish FA of Kennedy's injury as he was due to play in Irelands match against Denmark at Lansdowne Road next Wednesday.

The news of Kennedy's injury has prompted Wolves into the transfer market for a replacement and Jez Moxey has revealed Wolves are interested in Wimbledon's 27-year-old Kevin Cooper, although reports of a Ł1million bid are still unconfirmed by Wolves.

Wolves striker Adam Proudlock has joined Nottingham Forest on a months loan.
Proudlock who has just completed a four match suspension is meeting up with his new City Ground team mates today, having had the pick of 12 clubs to join on a temporary basis. His first match for Forest could be against West Brom on Friday.

Wolves Scottish players Kenny Miller and Colin Cameron have both been named in the Scottish International squad for the international friendly with France on Wednesday 27^th March in Paris by new Scottish manager Bertie Vogts.
Both players were originally named in Vogts provisional squad for the game, and then were confirmed as members of the 22 man squad.

Injuries: Wolves captain Paul Butler is suffering from sciatica which could mean he's not a regular in the Wolves team for their six remaining games of the season. Mark Kennedy is to undergo a scan on the groin injury he picked up on Saturday. He limped off in the 75th minute against Grimsby and Boss Dave Jones says he has to be considered doubtful for next weekends match against Norwich at Molineux. Dean Sturridge picked up a hamstring strain and Alex Rae a calf injury.

Suspensions: Kevin Muscat will serve a three-match ban for his sending off on Saturday, he will now be suspended for three of Wolves' remaining six games, including their Easter Monday top of the table clash against Manchester City. The other matches he will be banned for are the trips to Burnley and Millwall.
Adam Proudlock has finished his three-match ban and returns tonight for Wolves reserves against local rivals West Brom. Luton manager Joe Kinnear has given up on signing Proudlock on loan. Kinnear wanted to bring the 20-year-old to Kenilworth Road until the end of the season, and had agreed a deal. But Wolves boss Dave Jones has had a rethink after injuries robbed him of cover up front.

Wolves boss Dave Jones was annoyed with his team after they lost 1-0, and he said Kevin Muscatt's red card was an act of stupidity.
He said after the game on WOW: Kevin got away with it in the first half. I dont want to hear any apologies, blaming frustration or anything like that. It was an act of stupidity when we were struggling to get going. The same goes for Mo Camara who started fighting with their bench.
It was the worst performance weve put in for a long time. At no time did we have spell of pressure. There was no tempo to our game.
Good luck to Grimsby. They deserved it.
Lets hope this is a wake up call. Well go back to the drawing board on Monday on the training pitch.
The lads are disappointed but still positive. We will bounce back. Were not giving up on the Championship yet. Manchester City can still be caught and theyve still got to come here.

Wolves defender Joleon Lescott made a successful debut for England's Under 20 squad, as they beat Finland 3-0 at Bolton's Reebok stadium. The defence was reported to be built around Lescott as he continues to impress. His boss Dave Jones has backed Lescott to carry on improving in the Premiership when Wolves get promoted.
The Wolves boss said: "Joleon has been working hard and has come on in leaps and bounds. He will have his little dips, but he's getting stronger all the time and his best will come next year. Hopefully, by then, he will have the likes of Thierry Henry and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink bearing down on him"

Wolves: Dave Jones is expected to reinstate Alex Rae to midfield and drop Keith Andrews to the bench. Joleon Lescott is doubtful because of a groin injury and Ludovic Pollet has been put on stand-by, while Dave Jones monitors the defenders condition.

Joleon Lescott has been called up to the England under 20 squad. The 19-year-old central defender will join the national squad to prepare for next Wednesdays international against Finland at Boltons Reebok Stadium. This is the first time he has been called into the under 20 squad but has won caps for England under 18's.

Wolves boss Dave Jones has revealed that midfielder Alex Rae was left on the bench last because of family problems. Some fans criticised Jones for dropping Rae with Cameron returning and Andrews keeping his place in the side.
But Jones has made it clear that the influential midfielder was left out after suffering from lack of sleep due to illness in the family.

Wolves: Dave Jones has no fresh injury worries and looks set to bring Colin Cameron back into midfield after he was rested on Saturday, so Keith Andrews will drop back down to the bench.

Forest: Paul Hart is still waiting on the fitness of Riccardo Scimeca and John Thompson, both men picked up knocks in Forest's win over Rotherham - Thompson, who has a knee injury and skipper Scimeca has a groin strain.

Wolves will not be developing Molineux even if they win promotion to the Premier League, chief executive Jez Moxey has confirmed that there will be no major stadium development work during the close season as there isn't enough time. But they will look to add some temporary stands to accommodate around another 2,500 per home match and raise the Molineux capacity to around 30,000.
Any work on increasing the current 28,500 capacity will be put on hold until at least the summer of 2003 and if Wolves are in the Premiership and look like staying there, then they would look at increasing the capacity to around 40,000.

Wolves boss Dave Jones has made his search for a goalkeeper priority ahead of the 28th March transfer deadline day. Wolves still only have Matt Murray as back up for Michael Oakes and they are hoping to send him out on loan to gain some experience.
Also some of Wolves other younger players like Adam Proudlock could be sent out on loan ahead of the transfer deadline. Trialist keeper Leslie Pogliacomi has returned to his club.
Dave Jones said on WOW: We know that finding a keeper is a priority with the deadline getting closer. Weve gone for one or two but theyve either picked up an injury or their clubs have not wanted to let them go.
We might go for a loan just as cover for the rest of the season. But, if I find one who is capable of strengthening the squad, I will look at that.
We wont go past the deadline without bringing someone in.

The under 17 and under 19 Academy sides played at Leicester City on Saturday.
The under 17s were beaten 2-0 but the under 19s won 1-0 thanks to a 61 minute Marlon Walters goal.

Wolves boss Dave Jones could be offered a new deal if (or when) Wolves get promoted. Jones's current contract runs out in the summer of 2004 but could be offered a three-year extension to the deal as well as a massive pay rise after Wolves chairman Sir Jack Hayward has been delighted with the managers impact in his 14 months in charge of the team.
Sir Jack's proposal is not only to reward Jones for earning Wolves promotion after such a long wait, but to deter other club's from poaching him especially after the Everton rumors.

Any one wanting to travel to Wolves home games from the Sheffield/South Yorks area, please e-mail mark28wolves@aol.com, travel to most home games on weekends, cant always make night games due to work commitments, all e-mails answered.

I received this email from Norman Giller, Billy Wright's official biographer, please show your respect to Billy by putting a message in his memorial book.

Hello Gavin,

Just to let you know that I have recently added a Memorial Book to the Billy Wright website (www.billywright.co.uk). I would appreciate it if you could leave a tribute to Billy in the Book (on top of the one you have already kindly provided for the main pages of the website). Eventually, I shall print out the Memorial Book and present it to Joy Beverley Wright in small album form as a surprise gift. She is not into websites, and relies on her daughters to tell her what is on line. I want her to 'feel' the love and respect that is still around for her Billy.

Kindest regards
Norman Giller

Wolves: Boss Dave Jones prepares to name an unchanged team again, although he does accept that "fatigue" could be a factor in his final selection.
Gillingham: have doubts about ex-Wolves Simon Osborn and their defender Barry Ashby.

Wolves boss Dave Jones has been named Division One Manager of the Month for the second time this season. Six straight wins has got him the title for February, he won it in September after Wolves won five and drew one.
Let's hope the curse of 'Manager of the Month' which usually ends teams winning runs after the manager wins the award doesn't strike at Molineux.
A delighted Jones said: "Everyone at the club has pulled together and worked brilliantly. It has been a huge team effort and at this stage of the season it is great to have won six Nationwide League matches on the bounce.
"We have aimed for the top from the first day of the season and we are now aiming for the championship."
