Jamie O'Hara poised for Wolves comeback

Jamie O'Hara is in line for a shock Premier League return in Wolves' hour of need at Loftus Road tomorrow.

Manager Mick McCarthy is toying with the idea of ushering his key midfielder back into the fray for the crunch survival clash with QPR.

After a six week lay-off following a double hernia, O'Hara completed a 45-minute comeback in the reserves this week and is champing at the bit to get back into a team which has not won since he suffered the injury in the defeat at Manchester United on December 10.

O'Hara finished that return to action with a typically upbeat message on Twitter, telling followers: "Felt great tonight 45mins under my belt, can't wait for the next prem game gonna be raring to go."

And with Wolves pressed into a corner and under mounting pressure to retrieve a desperate survival plight, McCarthy is pondering whether to risk O'Hara in tomorrow's critical contest against a much-strengthened but still-threatened QPR.

Wolves are in dire need of a lift after this week's disturbing collapse against Liverpool which was followed by an angry broadside at the players by chairman Steve Morgan.

The next two games are seen as pivotal to the long-serving boss's prospects of riding out the storm, even with the unflinching support to date from Morgan and chief executive Jez Moxey.

After QPR comes the Black Country derby at Molineux although the players are taking fresh heart from the thinning number of fixtures against the Premier League's top clubs and recently-productive away form.

"We've had our meetings, we know what we've got to do – and we've got a massive game tomorrow," said captain Roger Johnson.

"The Liverpool game was another one of the top six that we've played and got out of the way.

"What's going to keep us in this league is games against the sides around us. And it starts tomorrow

"There's 15 games to go. There's a lot of points to be played for, we'll be there until the death."
