Boss Graham Turner insists new-look Shrewsbury Town are on course for the big kick-off on Saturday – but believes it could be five or six weeks before they hit top form.Boss Graham Turner insists new-look Shrewsbury Town are on course for the big kick-off on Saturday – but believes it could be five or six weeks before they hit top form.

And while he has been pleased with what he has seen from the new recruits, he admits the gelling process could still take some time. "They have shown they are capable players, they have shown that they are capable of fitting into a team plan," he said ahead of the opener against Plymouth Argyle.

Wolves confident their top players are staying

Wolves are confident Premier League survival has put to bed any doubts about their top players being cherry-picked this summer. Wolves are confident Premier League survival has put to bed any doubts about their top players being cherry-picked this summer. Chief executive Jez Moxey today insisted that the only departures from Molineux this close season would be governed by "football reasons alone." And manager Mick McCarthy believes only an unlikely offer from one of the elite clubs in the country would de-stabilise leading players such as Matt Jarvis and Kevin Doyle. "No-one can come and knock on my door and say 'Gaffer, I need Premier League football' – because they are going to get that with Wolves," said McCarthy.

The 28-year-old scored 14 times last season from a wide position but was troubled by a hernia problem during the closing weeks of the campaign. An operation was delayed as the former Walsall and MK Dons man was nursed through the final weeks of the season. But Wright is confident he will be ready to return to training with the rest of the squad when they re-assemble on June 28 or 29.
