Mick McCarthy has challenged his Wolves players to repeat the end-of-season heroics of 12 months ago and is confident they can cope with the pressure of battling for Barclays Premier League survival.
Wolves collected 14 points from their final 10 games of the 2009-2010 campaign to avoid the drop with a run of seven points from three away games with Burnley, Aston Villa and West Ham proving crucial.
Now they face a similar challenge, starting with teh home clash with Blackpool.
But McCarthy is also hoping luck will turn the way of Wolves during the final part of the season after feeling the rub of the green has not been on their side.
He said: "I don't doubt the players' ability to deal with pressure situations at all.
"I really don't think for one minute that the pressure is getting to them because they've handled it well.
"But we are going to have to find the performance we found in the latter stages of last season.
"We're going to have to play as well as we did when we went to Burnley, were solid and won.
"Then we played Villa, were murdered for 15 minutes but in the end were unfortunate not to have won.
"After that we went to West Ham and we ran riot. They're the performances we're going to have to find now."
McCarthy added: "We also had a bit of luck going our way last season. Adlene Guedioura's shot at Burnley was going nowhere near the goal until it took a deflection.
"I genuinely can't remember playing anyone this season where we've come away feeling we were jammy or really fortunate.
"Maybe Sunderland at home when they had another chance leading 2-1 and we got away with it and won 3-2. But I'm struggling beyond that."
McCarthy has described the Blackpool game as the biggest of the season and is refusing to downplay the importance of the next 11 games.
He said: "It doesn't matter who we're playing with 11 games left. They're all going to be pressurised. They're all games that we need points from.
"We can't understate the importance of any of them at all so I'm not even going to try.
"People say I shouldn't be saying how important these games are but, come on, do me a favour. We all know what's at stake."
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is a firm believer in second-season syndrome and anticipates a stressful summer planning how to overcome it should his team beat the drop.
The Seasiders, competing in their first Premier League campaign, are currently on course to emulate the achievement of Wolves last season by avoiding an immediate return to the Championship.
It has been tougher in the top flight for the midlands outfit this term and they go into the Molineux meeting bottom of the table - and with Holloway's sympathies.
"Second-season syndrome - I understand how it works," said Holloway, whose side are five points clear of the relegation zone.
"You stay up and are elated at first, then all of a sudden you have got to do it again, then you try to buy slightly better players and upset the ones you have already got.
"This level is fascinating. The second season, if you can get there, is the one to worry about.
"We are loving the first one and, really, we should go down. But if we don't, ahead of the second one I can assure you I'll have the worst summer ever.
"I will be worried about what on earth I am going to do, because most teams go down, no matter how good they are, in the second season."
