Another game live on TV. You’d think that Blues have been brilliant to watch this season, but in truth, they’ve been consistently inconsistent. Lee Clark and his troops make the short trip to the Molineux tomorrow to take on Wolves (5.20pm).

Last Friday nights win at home to Middlesbrough has lightened the mood around St. Andrews. It was, without doubt, a much needed victory. Can they push on? Its certainly a tough place to go, even though Blues’ recent record at Molinuex has been very decent.

Clark has confirmed that he has no fresh injury concerns. However, Darren Ambrose, who was taken ill before the ‘Boro game has picked up a knock and won’t be available.

The Blues boss admitted this week that like his side, Wolves should be ‘doing better’. After eight straight Championship defeats, Wolves stopped the rot in emphatic fashion last weekend by beating Bristol City 4-1 at Ashton Gate.

Stale Solbakken will be without Dave Edwards, but David Davis or Tongo Doumbia will step in.

This derby has history. It may not be held in as high regard as Blues v Villa, but Wolves is most Blues fans ‘second derby’. Promotion battles, relegation scraps, the Brum-Black Country derby rarely passes without incident.
