OKAY not Rod, Jane and Freddy but Steve, Jay and Freddy.
But you see where I’m coming from.
In Wolves’ case the question of the week is who gets the nod to partner Andy Keogh up front in Saturday’s clash of the promotion-chasers with Charlton at Molineux.
Keogh and Stephen Elliott have been Mick McCarthy’s main partnership of choice so far this season.
But with Elliott having last week returned home from Republic of Ireland duty with a hamstring problem and unlikely to be fit for the weekend, it’s down to a two-horse race between Jay Bothroyd and Freddy Eastwood.
And Bothroyd’s lively performance and goal for the reserves against Shrewsbury on Monday afternoon means he’s probably just about nudged his nose in front.
With the fallout of his two public and early-season spats with McCarthy now pretty much eroded by his knuckling down since, the former Charlton man said this afternoon he is now desperate to be “let loose� against his most previous club.
And I don’t think he was talking about the 90’s boyband with the dodgy barnets.
Eastwood may have to come up on the rails as his travails with Wales on Saturday were about as subdued as his last Wolves performance as a second half substitute against Coventry.
But like Bothroyd, he boasts explosive finishing power, and remains the club’s top scorer with four so far.
Don’t forget too that Eastwood may get the chance to stake another claim and don his shooting boots for Wales against San Marino on Wednesday night.
So Steve, Jay or Freddy?
Whoever of the latter two gets the nod will be hoping to see some light at the end of the rainbow come 3pm on Saturday.

Bothroyd could have joined Walsall when Colin Lee was manager but chose to go to Italy instead. Still regrets it to this day, I'm told.

How McCarthy can not pick Eastwood is beyond me. we spend years looking for a natural goalscorer and now we find one. So what do we do? Drop him.

I think Bothroyd deserves a go to be honest. 9 goals last season, some of them belters, and he was absent for long periods. If he's got the right attitude, he's one of the best if not the best in the division.

I think you were spot on with Rod, Jane and Freddy initially. How apt. Maybe Zippy, Bungle and George would do the biz?

Bungle's not available. He's (mis)managing Sheffield United at the moment.
