Wolves And February 29 - It Barely Happens

European football is not only helping Wolves to make big slices of history. It's also denying them smaller chunks of it. One of the curious by-products of a thrilling voyage of discovery that is now set to roll into Greece next month is that Wolves have missed out on playing on a date on which they have gone into action only five times in their history.

Another Welcome Move On The Chart

Matt Doherty is heading towards another milestone by closing in on his latest significant climb up Wolves' all-time record appearance-makers' list.

All Hands On Deck In Relegation Fight

So now it is south-east to Germany rather than north-east to Malmo that we will look from a distance in following Rob Kelly's career in the dug-out.
