McCarthy confident of Sylvan strength

Mick McCarthy today kicked off the countdown to Wolves' curtain-raiser at Plymouth by insisting any abuse coming Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's way "won't bother him a jot". Mick McCarthy today kicked off the countdown to Wolves' curtain-raiser at Plymouth by insisting any abuse coming Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's way "won't bother him a jot". Ebanks-Blake returns to Home Park for the first time since his £1.5m move from Argyle in January, while he was fined £2,500 for hitting a Plymouth nightclub bouncer with his girlfriend's handbag last month. But Wolves boss McCarthy says the Championship Golden Boot winner - who has recovered from his poke in the eye against Blackburn - is so single-minded, any catcalls won't unfocus him.

Edwards confident for title bid

Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards admits missing out on the play-offs could be a blessing in disguise because the team isn't yet ready for the Premier League. Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards admits missing out on the play-offs could be a blessing in disguise because the team isn't yet ready for the Premier League. Fans are still smarting at the failure to make the top six by a single goal, which has consigned Mick McCarthy's side to another season of Championship football. But former Shrewsbury ace Edwards, who has already playing in the Conference, League Two, League One and the Championship, believes the young squad will be better for missing out because promotion could have been damaging to morale.

I don't think I've proved myself at Championship level yet." Read the full story in today's Shropshire Star

Edwards confident on the road

Dave Edwards believes away day specialists Wolves have struck on the perfect formula for success on the road. Dave Edwards believes away day specialists Wolves have struck on the perfect formula for success on the road. Wolves face a potentially crucial away day double header this week - with a trip to Preston tonight and Burnley at the weekend pivotal to their hopes of making the top six. Former Shrewsbury midfielder Edwards, however, insists the pair of away games hold no fear for Wolves, who revived their season with back-to-back wins away from Molineux. And he reckons recapturing the spirit of their victories at Palace and Colchester - where Wolves married defensive strength with razor sharp finishing - can bring more success at Deepdale tonight.
