After almost two decades peppered with one disappointment after another, Wolves' long-suffering supporters have learned the hard way that football can be a cruel game. But nothing could have prepared them for the trauma of surrendering an 11-point advantage over neighbouring West Bromwich Albion for the second automatic promotion spot and then lost in the play-offs to a side that finished 11 points and three places below them in the table. "We're going up with the Baggies," crowed the Norwich fans. And Molineux, disbelieving and disconsolate, fell silent.
