Sylvan looking to strike it lucky

Wolves take on Real Valladolid in a friendly at Molineux on Saturday, and Ebanks-Blake - now fit again after shaking off a toe injury - will again be looking to link up with new Serbian attacking midfielder Milijas.McCarthy is expected to field a 4-3-3 formation, which has been used on and off in the last four friendlies.Whether he sticks with the system for next weekend's Premier League opener at home to West Ham remains to be seen, but Ebanks-Blake is sure he can strike up a productive relationship with Miijas, given time."We played it in one or two matches and we've tried to work it in training to, but it really does take time," he told the Express and Star."I've never played with Nenad for a long period of time and neither has he with me."You have to get to know each other's runs, get into each other's minds and know where each individual is comfortable."That's something we'll build up over time, because you wouldn't expect any partnership to be the ultimate in pre-season."It takes the course of the season to build up relationships and partnerships."But good players make those things click and he's a good player - he sees a pass, so if my runs are good enough, he'll find me."So he's someone I'm looking forward to working with more. He's an important player for us, even at this stage, because he brings a lot to the team."
