The second half of the season starts at Everton on Wednesday and there will be a different air to Rob Edwards' pre-match press conference. It would be the Premier League's greatest comeback but Wolves would need to win at least half of their remaining 18 games to even stand a chance so the expectation of relegation. Those outside of Compton had been resigned to relegation and it was all about how and when, not if, Wolves went down. There is still 12 points to make up to 17th-placed Nottingham Forest - and that will be extended if Forest win their crucial basement battle at the Hammers on Tuesday - so no-one expects miracles. But any signs of recovery were so desperately needed and at Everton on Wednesday Wolves need to prove they can maintain their battle against the odds.
