Wolves manager Colin Lee is expecting his phone to be red-hot this week - every other boss in the First Division will want to know the secret of stopping Fulham.
Preston visit Craven Cottage on Tuesday and their manager, David Moyes, could be first to ring this morning. "There were loads of scouts in our main stand, so they will have picked up on what we did," said Lee. "But no one should be fooled. Fulham will only lose a couple of games this season and will finish up champions no matter what the rest of us come up with."
Wolves, with a plan detailed to stop Fulham getting into their flowing rhythm, became the first team not to be beaten by them this season.
They stopped Jean Tigana's team from setting a new First Division record of 12 successive wins from the start of the season and prevented them from going on to challenge Reading's English record of 13 straight wins.
But Lee said: "For any club to take what we did a step further and beat Fulham, then they are going to have some exceptionally talented players."
Lee watched Crystal Palace try two different systems and still lose to Fulham and while he was driving back from Selhurst Park he came up with his tactical plan. "Fulham's goalkeeper always throws the ball out and they build from that," said Lee. "So we stopped it. I picked Temuri Ketsbaia in midfield so he could put extra pressure on their centre-half and the keeper couldn't get the ball to him.
"I told my two wide players to mark Fulham's full-backs. And then we marked man-for-man. Simon Osborn did a job on Lee Clark and Tony Dinning and Ketsbaia between them rotated marking John Collins.
"Some teams will be frightened to play the way we did because it leaves the two centre-halves exposed against two good strikers. "But if we had opened up and attacked Fulham we would have been beaten. Fulham's confidence is high and we had to put some doubt in their minds."
Having seen off all-comers with style and ease, Fulham used the whole of the first half to try to work out Wolves' tactics and had only one good move and a Louis Saha shot to show for it.
With Wolves limited by their own lack of forwards - Neil Emblen played out of position as a lone striker - the game became a goalless non-event.
However, Lee said: "Jean Tigana will be thinking about this. He will find an answer on the training pitch. He is a very astute, experienced manager and next time a team tries playing chess with him, he'll not be check-mated."
