At a loose end - and team bonding

After three successive long Saturday away journeys - the three C's - Wolves fans probably won't know what to do with themselves over this free weekend.

After Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Colchester, don't be surprised to see gold and black scarves hanging out of cars motoring aimlessly around the Black Country just for old time's sake because the drivers don't know any better.

Meanwhile the players have spent a couple of days involved in various team bonding exercises at a country retreat.

Generating team spirit is a particular trait of a Mick McCarthy team.

Already this season there has been the go-karting, a bit of golf and carrying out activities together was also a feature of the pre-season Irish tour.

It should all help, particularly at a time when several players have their noses out of joint due to a lack of first-team action.

And after the dramatic events of Tuesday night, it probably couldn't have come at a better time.
