Opportunity knocks again for Wolves, who could find themselves at the Championship summit, if only for a couple of hours, with victory over Wrexham.

It is a quick turnaround for Cesar Peixoto’s side, who arrived home late after Wednesday night’s dramatic comeback win at Bristol City extended their unbeaten run to five matches.

There is little time to savour that success, though, with Wolves back in action at lunchtime tomorrow and another opportunity to strengthen their promotion credentials.

They sit just a point behind leaders Middlesbrough after an impressive surge up the table and could leapfrog them with victory before Boro play later in the day.

There is an intriguing twist, too. Middlesbrough suffered defeat in midweek - at the hands of Wrexham, of course.

Phil Parkinson’s side will be looking to make it consecutive victories over the division’s leading sides and throw another spanner into the promotion race.

Reflecting on Wolves’ rise to second, Peixoto said: “I believe in the process. But I don’t believe that just because we’ve gone five games unbeaten, with four wins and one draw, everything is good. I believe in hard work, and I believe in my players. Today (Wednesday) was only three points.

“The Championship is very long, with so many games still to play. The table is good, it is true. But every team can beat every other team, like we saw with some of the other results today, and it can change a lot.

“We have to recover, stay humble and grounded, because the Championship can change very quickly.”

Loan forward Sean Neave was Wolves’ matchwinner at Bristol City, coming off the bench to score twice and complete a remarkable comeback. Adam Armstrong had also found the net in consecutive matches before Wednesday, leaving Peixoto with a welcome selection dilemma.

Asked whether Neave had done enough to force his way into the starting XI, he said: “I don’t know. Adam scored in two games too.

“We have to choose. We have to look to the players and understand which players are fresh to play. We have to, for sure, make some rotation, because it is the third game in the week. And a tough one.”

Peixoto praised the spirit and belief shown by his players in Bristol, as well as the impact of his substitutes. But with Wolves facing their third game in a week, and Jordan James sidelined by a hamstring injury, the head coach must decide how best to manage his resources.

The question is how many of Wednesday’s impact substitutes will be rewarded with starts, with Wolves heading into their final fixture before the international break.

He said: “The team showed soul until the end, believed until the end. It is what I asked from the team at half-time. We went into the second half with more belief, we sped up the game and were more aggressive when we lost the ball.

“The team has to understand it is like that and we have to play like that across 90 minutes. We have to find a balance.

“I am not going to rotate all of the players (at Wrexham), but we have to work with the medical department to understand which players are more fresh.

”From Thursday we start again preparing for another opponent.”
