Shifty's Season Preview Part 11 of 11. No, really

Wolves

Winning the Championship last year gives Mick McCarthy another chance in the Premier League. Last season, Wolves were adventurous, scoring plenty of goals courtesy of the likes of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Chris Iwelumo, Sam Vokes and Andy Keogh. And therein lies the rub. Those 4 between them have scored a total of 0 Premier League goals. New signing Kevin Doyle will look to add goals, though. And then there's the defence, which looked shaky for long periods of last season's Championship campaign. Wolves simply cannot afford a repeat of last season's terrible winter form if they are to have any chance of surviving.

Verdict: Wolves must start well if they are to stay up. It will be intriguing to see if they maintain their attacking approach, or whether McCarthy may withdraw a striker in order to try and gain a foothold in midfield.
