Now Wolves have finally discovered their mojo, they are using Nottingham Forest as inspiration to make a great leap forward.
The comparison isn’t so daft. Champions League chasers Forest finished last season 17th with 32 points (following a four-point deduction) — precisely the position Wolves are in now. They even both have Portuguese managers.
Saturday’s comeback win at Ipswich effectively secured Wolves’s Premier League status and they have picked up 10 points in four games without the banned Matheus Cunha.
In Brazil stars Andre and Joao Gomes, raiding wing-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and in-form striker Jorgen Stand Larsen, they have individuals at the same level as Forest’s squad.
