A Win For The Loyalty? - Leeds Vs Wolves

A goal please Ken

LEEDS Vs WOLVES | Wolves travel to Elland Road on Saturday for what boss Glenn Hoddle has described as a must win game. Nine points from the next three games is Hoddle's target, but which way will it go?

In all reality it's over. Wolves currently sit nine points from the play-offs having played one game more than the majority of the teams above them.

Reaching the play-offs with just seven games to go isn't realistically going to happen, but heading into next season on a high is a must.

The season has been a washout, disaster, shambles, joke (delete as you wish) and the club repaid the fans by putting up the Season Ticket Prices by 15%. However again the true colours came out as almost 13,000 fans have already stumped up the cash for next season.

"It proves what a good deal the Early Bird is" claimed Jez Moxey recently. He's wrong. It's simply a case of blind loyalty and next seasons adventure had better see a huge improvement, otherwise it could get nasty.

But it's Leeds United on Saturday and Wolves will be hoping to wipe away the memory of last seasons mid-week visit which ended in a forgettable 4-1 defeat.

Seol Ki-Hyeon is the only major doubt. The South Korean won't arrive back in England after International duty until late Friday night and Hoddle may opt to start Rohan Ricketts, Colin Cameron or possibly Leon Clarke.

New signing Mikkel Bischoff will hope to be involved however after joining from Manchester City.

 The dream is probably over for another season, but something to repay the fans loyalty would be nice.
