Wolves defender Danny Batth takes on the FL72 Podcast 10 to Tackle, revealing who his cleverest team-mate is, and why he wishes he could have played with Rio Ferdinand.
What do your team-mates call you?
My team-mates call me Batth or Batthey depending on how they want to interpret my surname.
Best thing about playing for Wolves?
The best thing about playing for Wolves would have to be playing at home at three o'clock on a Saturday. The atmosphere can be incredible on its day, particularly towards the end of the season if we're in the play-off hunt.
Cleverest team-mate?
It's tight between Scott Golborne or Dave Edwards and I'm sure they'd throw me in the toss if they were answering these questions. I'd go for one of those two.
And who is not the brightest?
Where do I start? You've got George Saville who'd be right up there and Matt Doherty. We did an IQ test and he's had to re-sit his so that will chuck him straight in there.
Best player you've played with?
I'd have to go with [Steven] Fletcher when he was at Wolves, he was different class.
Benik [Afobe] and [Bakary] Sako are up there as well so it's pretty tight between those. I'll always go with forwards because they're the ones who always give me a torrid time in training.
Player - past or present - that you wish you could play with?
It would have been nice to play with Rio Ferdinand. He'd have probably got me out of a lot of trouble so I'd go with him.
Best moment in football so far?
It would have to be promotion, I know its League One but promotion is a promotion so no one can ever take that from you.
Worst moment in football?
I wasn't too involved in the [Championship] relegation but that would be up there.
Squad number and any significance to it?
Number six has not been my first pick to be honest, No 5 was always my number as a kid but No 6 I've seemed to inherit, but I'm enjoying it.
Where will Wolves finish in the league this season?
I'd go top six. No reason why not and you've got to be ambitious haven't you.
