Team : Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Fulham
Competition : Barclays Premier League
From the first day of wolves matchwinner Stephen Ward refuses to take his place in the side for granted on the eve of their second Premier League clash of the season against Fulham at Molineux on Sunday.
Sala de Lobos shot a 2-1 win against Blackburn at the weekend, but knows he has a fight in the hands of George Elokobi for the slot left side, his.
Ward, who made his international debut for the Republic of Ireland earlier this summer, said: "Everyone works hard in the preseason and want to be on the team on the first day so it was nice to be there.
"But I know it's a long season and everyone will have a role to play.
"You look at the team we have and is much stronger than last year, so everyone has a role here.
"Yes, it's nice to play on the first day, but there are 37 games to go so there is a lot of hard work required of all.''
Ward admits he's still on top of developments in Blackburn.
He added: "Could not have asked for anything more is a fantastic start to the season for the Wolves do not think you can get much better than going away from home and win on the opening day ...
"We shot his shirt and showed the character we have to do well in this league and hopefully we can move forward from here.''
While the Wolves the perfect way to start the season, striker Kevin Doyle expected to also unveiled a marker for the rest of the campaign.
Lobos, who are about to be changed at Fulham, he struggled badly last season against teams around them on the table yet managed to achieve victories against Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Doyle acknowledges that more success against teams that are seen as less the lights of the Premier League should ensure to avoid another frantic final day battle for survival.
Doyle, who missed from the point at Blackburn before Ward scored the fight that followed, said: "Last season we did not have many points against teams that were around us at the table.
"So it was nice to put a marker down and away from home, too.
"If we can improve our point total from last season should be well clear of the bottom three and we hope that in the middle of the table.
"We beat Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool last season and yet we were still fighting against relegation.
"If we had said before the start of the season, which I imagine would be at least safely in mid-table. But because we lost many games against teams around us, we were in a dogfight.''
Fulham manager Martin Jol expects a tough test against the Wolves, but admitted he was not aware of any bad blood between the teams.
Bobby Zamora broke his leg in a challenge with Wolves midfielder Karl Henry last September, the decision of the England international out for five months.
To make matters worse Fulham captain Danny Murphy accused of Mick McCarthy's side, of being too "inflado''un couple of weeks later, so back and forth comments between the two camps.
Jol admits he is not aware of any underlying animosity but expects a tough match in the West Midlands region.
