Wolves are 12 points clear at the top of the Championship ; 3 - 0 win over Brentford ; 8 more wins to secure the title !

Wolves are having an exceptional 2017/18 season ; barring a major disaster, they will most certainly win the championship ; many people figured that the Portuguese contingent would shrink in the cold harsh winter and not play well but no, the Portuguese players showed the doubters in the best way, by scoring and producing some of the finest football seen in decades from this Wolves team.

Reuben Neves scored a scorcher of a direct free kick, as did Barry Douglas who is on a hot streak, scoring 3 goals in as many appearences (Millwall, Bristol City and now Brentford).

Diogo Jota netted the third, which is purely academic, but it shows a chasm between Wolves and the rest of the league.

Fantanstic efforts were superbly saved by Brentford keeper from Jota, Bonatini (who practically dribbled the entire Brentford defence and Cavaleiro). Brentford themselves had 2 excellent efforts saved by John Ruddy - the Wolves custodian.  


I cannot sing higher praise to the gaffer, Nuno Espirito Santo for gelling a top team easily on par with any team outside the Big 6 in the Premier League in such a short time of 3 months. He is  the next Jose Mourinho in my book !

My prediction for the end of season points, (now they have 61 from 26 games with another 20 to go, so I would say they would easily win 12 ; draw 5 and lose 3 , so another 41 points would be reasonable ; they would end up with 102 points ; that is my prediction.
