Here’s Ben Fisher’s mini preview of the game we cannot mention. Things do not get any easier for Wolves and Rob Edwards. After being outclassed by Crystal Palace last weekend, on Sunday they face a trip to their in-form Midlands rivals Aston Villa. Then it is Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Arsenal and Brentford before Christmas. Wolves lost to each of the promoted clubs this season and surely even the most optimistic Wolves supporter can be forgiven for wondering: where are the points coming from? A section of Wolves supporters tempered their anger at Molineux last time out but any grace period afforded to Edwards, a personable former player and coach, will soon fade. Even so he has to maintain belief. “When we take these jobs we all back ourselves – there’s a belief and ego we all have: ‘I can be the one who can stick around for a while,’” he said. “I haven’t joined this club to be gone within a few months.” MikeDaniels1961 30 November 2025 8:16am What about the build up to Villa v Wolves?

We await news from Elland Road.

Apathy ruled elsewhere. Spurs were horrible, Fulham continue to show what a good manager Marco Silva is. Thomas Frank is embattled, and taking on Tottenham fans is a brave stance, even if he did say it was OK to boo a result rather than individuals.
