Can't quite believe that Wolves are no longer 17th and could get as high as 13th by end of the season. Massive turnaround from December in 19th on 9pts after 16 games played. New manager and 16 games later now 3 positions higher and 26 more points! 🐺🐺🐺

Ex-Wolves but still in the Premier League squad is pretty good.
