Stale Solbakken’s Wolves side chasing history
Wolves take their early promotion challenge to Huddersfield on Saturday aiming to make history with a unique club milestone.
Stale Solbakken’s side return from the international break seeking to become the first Wolves team in the club’s 135-year history to record four successive league away wins without conceding a goal.
Unchallenged victories at Ipswich, Peterborough and Blackburn have put Wolves in with a chance of an unprecedented club first.
Wolves last won four consecutive trips on the road in November 2008, while the following April, they recorded three clean sheets in three straight away wins before Birmingham beat them 2-0. But they have never done it without conceding a goal.
In 1982-83 and 1992-93, Wolves started the season with five successive away shutouts, but not all the games were won.
The last time Solbakken’s side leaked an away goal in the Championship was 295 minutes of playing time ago – Peter Whittingham’s hat-trick-clincher in the 3-1 defeat at Cardiff on September 2.
David Davis is expected to keep his place in the side with captain Karl Henry suspended for the trip north.

Please note, all against top quality opposition...NOT...

Does not matter the quality of opposition it's an achievement in such a competitive division, with players new to the division and still learning as a group.
Credit to the team, keep up the good work. Roger Johnson stand out player so far defensively and Ikeme has filled the void left by injury extremely well

Ipswich went to Brighton, who were top, the following week and got a draw, Peterbrough won their next 2 and Blackburn were top 3. I agree it is not the Premiership, if you can tell me any club in all four divisions who has achieved the same feat I would be happy to discuss the merits of our own achievement.

two games ago blackburn were top of the league and everyone said they would win the league.

Stale has revitalised a stagnating team.I am not sure how,but he has..And has brought in some quality with him too..We are playing with confidence again..But surely September 2nd was a lot longer than 295 minutes ago? :D
