ON THE GAME
Steve Ogrizovic told the CT: "Saturday's game with Wolves is going to be a pressure game and we need at least a point, although it would be nice to do it in style and win, to be able to not have to go into the last game knowing we have got to get something.
"I know that's what the players, the manager and all the staff want. We desperately want to finish it off in a positive way and if we play and do the things we did at Colchester, there is no reason why we can't. "I know the fans will be there for us because they always are."
