Wolves captain Roger Johnson feels the next five games will decide their survival hopes.
Mick McCarthy's men, fourth from bottom in the Premier League, face Black Country rivals West Brom on Sunday still in danger of the drop despite last weekend's defeat of QPR.
Skipper Johnson said: "These five games are massive. We've beaten QPR, now play West Brom then Newcastle, Fulham and Blackburn.
"For me, these games will determine how our season ends up."
