Whilst Wolves moved one step closer to their key objective of promotion, the chase will have been slowed somewhat by the dismissal of two of their key players.

Firstly, record signing and midfield dynamo Ruben Neves received his marching orders after receiving his second yellow card in as few minutes. He slid recklessly into a challenge on George Friend, not long after picking up a booking for dissent. There was only going to be one outcome, Wolves reduced to ten.

Matt Doherty then saw red for a aerial challenge in which he was deemed to have used an elbow, his second caution of the game. Middlesbrough did grab a late consolation, but the two goal cushion was enough to see nine-man Wolves tighten their grip on the title race.

Both players will now be suspended for the visit of Hull City, meaning a weakened starting line up for a crucial game. However, both will return in time for the huge clash with Cardiff City on Friday which looks set to decide the title.

Who should replace the two players in question for tomorrow's game? Here, Gary Hutchinson of FLW offers his opinion...

Alfred N'Diaye

28-year old N'Diaye seems the natural replacement for Neves in the middle of the park.

The Senegalese international is on loan at Molineux and has found first team chances rather hard to come by, with just 12 league starts and 17 appearances from the bench.

He came on just minutes after Neves was dismissed and he seems the obvious choice for a starting place against Hull.

Ryan Bennett

It's sadly going to be too early for Phil Ofosu-Ayeh to make a return, which means a make-shift right wing back rather than a natural swap.

Rúben Vinagre is a left-back, but he could perhaps fill in if required, or Barry Douglas could be shifted over from left back to allow the Portuguese player a chance.

However, we think they should plump for Ryan Bennett, a centre half by trade who has played wing back in the cup competitions this season. Bennett has been a solid performer since his arrival from Norwich and it would seem reasonable to ask him to drop out wide and perhaps bring Danny Batth into the centre of defence, just for one match.
