"Molineux is where Promotion will be won" Glenn Hoddle

The 2005/06 season is well under way. A dominant performance at Southampton on Saturday should have seen Wolves carrying three points back to the midlands, it wasn't to be but now the focus must to Crystal Palace.

Wolves boss Glenn Hoddle has called for Molineux to be turned into a "fortress" for this season insisting that promotion will be won  - or lost - at Molineux.

Wolves have not lost a league game at home since December but it is the fans duty to cheer the players on through every minute - no matter how painful - this season.

The players must do their part, but so must the fans. A near sell-out crowd is expected for the game on Tuesday night and a good start could be the difference come the end of the season.

Hoddle has no new injury worries ahead of the game and Jody Craddock could fit for a starting place, however Hoddle is unlikely to drop Edwards who did a good job in the centre of defence against Southampton.

The only change may be Nigerian International Seyi Olofinjana replacing Paul Ince as Hoddle refuses to play the skipper for three games in one week, however Hoddle must decide whether to leave him out for this game or leave him out for the game against Hull City at the weekend.

It's the first home game of the season, a win is a must and we can help achieve that!
