ON THE GAME
Iain Dowie told Sky Blue World; "It will be a very tough away game, but we have to go to Molineux with the same confidence that we have in all our away games this season. "I expect Wolves to do very well this season. I think Mick McCarthy got what he deserved last year in that he built a good squad and got that investment at the right time. "He's an excellent manager has brought in some good players in Stephen Elliott, Kevin Foley and Freddy Eastwood and as a result they have a really competent squad this season."
