Wolves’ worst fears were confirmed today when injured trio Carl Ikeme, Bakary Sako and Dave Edwards were ruled out for the season.
Ikeme has had an operation on the hand he broke punching the tactics board at half-time of the 2-1 win over Bristol City and will be in plaster for five weeks.
Sako has a grade two hamstring tear and will be out for six to eight weeks and Edwards has broken his fifth metatarsal and will be sidelined for a similar period of time. Edwards will find out this week if he needs surgery.
All three were injured at the Bristol City game. With the final game of the season at Brighton on May 4, there are fewer than six weeks of the campaign left, ending the hopes of any of the three being fully fit in time.

Ikeme, Sako and Edwards out for the season

Recalling Stearman to play right wing would be a stroke of genius as he would replace both Edwards (first touch and visionary distribution) and Sako (giving away ludicrous penalties) in one fell swoop with the added bonus of Foley's attacking threat down the right.
This could save our season.

Well, we've tried everything else. It's got to be worth a shot hasn't it?
My midfield for Saturday... playing 4-5-1
Stearman ---- Foley------Henry------Davies------Hunt

We are down, anyway. At least Steve and I now have an excuse - wretched bad luck with injuries

Available for what Simon?
What did you have in mind?

Remember Deano's policy of automatically dropping anyone who has played well in the previous game to "keep them on their toes".
Mind you, that doesn't really exclude anyone who played against Bristol City so the selection will no doubt be as baffling as usual.
