Several Wolves players are having to be very careful in the few remaining games of the season to ensure they are not suspended for key games, which, should Wolves make them, could rule players such as Paul Ince out of the Play-Off games.

 Paul Butler is currently walking the longest tightrope, as he picked up his 9th booking of the season against Stoke a few weeks ago. FA Rules state that players who have 10 cautions by the second Sunday in April, the 13th are banned for 2 games.

 This would mean that if Butler was to pick up a yellow card in the games against Rotherham, Grimsby or Nottingham Forest, he would be unable to play in 2 games from the remaining 3 against Sheffield United, Norwich and Leicester.

  Paul Ince who is on 11 cautions must prevent 4 more bookings before the end of the season - Should Ince receive 4 more bookings, he will be effectively ruled out of all three Play-Off games should Wolves make them.
