On February 30th, there will be three rounds of No.32 in the British Championship. Four days after the end of this game, the Wolves will go to Ukraine to participate in the first round of the top [-] of the UEFA Cup.

After the Wolves played the first round of the UEFA Cup against Shakhtar Donetsk on the 30th, they will soon return to the UK to participate in the No.34 four rounds of the British Championship.The 21th match of the British Championship is scheduled for the [-]st, which means that the Wolves have no rest time at all after returning to the UK.

Then, in the No.30 four game, the Wolves can't report any hope at all. If they want to consolidate their top position, they'd better win their opponents in the No.30 three rounds.

But for the first round of the UEFA Cup, Ince has long decided to hide his main force in the No.30 three rounds.Now the Wolves are six points ahead of No.2 Sheffield United. Ince believes that this difference is enough to support two games, so he decided to follow the previous plan.

On the 30th, in the No.[-] three-round match of the British Championship, the Wolves challenged the third-ranked Burnley away.In fact, Ince gave up this game, one of the important reasons is that the opponent is the third-ranked Burnley.Even if the main force is playing, it is not easy to get out of Burnley's home court.

What if the main players are injured?
Ince didn't want to take any chances in this game in order to do well in the UEFA Cup.He simply let the main players stay in Wolverhampton, and rushed to the away game with a bunch of substitute players.

The game started on time at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. The Wolves, who played with all substitutes, put on a defensive posture, and Burnley launched a tidal wave of offense.

In the end, Wolves lost [-]-[-]. Sheffield United seized the opportunity and won Barnsley [-]-[-] at home, narrowing the points gap between the two teams to three points!

As Burnley beat Wolves, the point difference between them and Sheffield United remained unchanged, continuing to rank No.3 behind by two points.

Ince looked back, two and a half months have passed since December, and the Wolves have not widened the gap with the teams behind.

However, being able to continue to occupy the top position shows that the Wolves are still quite competitive in the British Championship.

If you think that the Wolves have only been promoted to the British Championship this season, then they can achieve such results, which is quite amazing.

The UEFA Cup knockout match that Ince valued so much has arrived, and an accident cast a shadow over their journey.
