The first 3-0 win over the W***es at our place was special.
Knocking the Dogheads out of the FA Cup at their place and our Moxey-aided takeover of the South Bank will likely be long remembered.
Sunday's high noon showdown at the Molineux, however, carries with it the highest importance of any of the three Black Country derbies this season. One need only look at where our respective teams are in the table and how many matches remain on the fixture list to understand how much more massively important this game is than our previous meetings. Win and we keep pace with the clubs ahead of us. Lose, and the neighbours pass us in the table.
Our fans may like to remind the W****s that it's "six-nil to the Albion," but we have had poor form of late while they have been surging upwards. We cannot take anything for granted in our quest to grab all three points. I predict this will be a closer, scrappier affair than the previous two matches.
