Match Day Thread Wolves v Cardiff

TEAM NEWS
Bjorn Sigurdarson could feature in attack for Wolves after the back injury he picked up against West Ham proved not to be as severe as first feared.

Defender Kortney Hause (hamstring) is back in training but is not match fit for the visit of table rivals Cardiff.

The Bluebirds could play Sammy Ameobi up front but it will be loanee striker Tony Watt's final game if an extension cannot be agreed with Charlton.

At the back, defender Fabio is pushing for a recall for the trip to Molineux.

MATCH FACTS

• Wolves have failed to score in just one of their last 10 league contests against Cardiff, though that was in the 2-0 defeat away to them in August
• Cardiff haven't kept a clean sheet in their last nine games at Molineux, last shutting out the home side in September 1986
• Wolves' Michal Zyro scored a brace on his first start in the Football League in midweek
• Wolves have won four in a row for the first time since April 2015. They last won five on the spin in the second tier back in November 2008 (seven wins)
• Cardiff have won three of their last five versus Wolves, losing the other two

City goal - would you believe it......

 

City again!!!!!!! - Noone the majestic........

 

Wolves 1 - 2 City (here we go!)

 

is that a 460 formation he's playing?

no rhyme or reason to our form at the moment.

 

2nd half Wolves will change things and we won't.
Where have we seen that before?

Noone knows there's still two weeks of the transfer window left.

 

whiits and o'keefe off with dikgacoi and kenedy on should be the way to go.

Where is gunnar?

 

Gunnar travelled but was taken ill before the game and wasn't risked - at least that's the story.

 

3-1 maybe the team is playing without fear because then know no new players can be bought.

 

have we had an offer for him?

 

Aye, Barca were looking........

In all seriousness I do recall someone enquiring when he was being kept out by Dikgacoi.

 

We can't be that lucky.

 

30 mins to go can we hold on to a 2 goal lead?

 

yaaaaaayyyyyy. Ralls scores. I've picked him the last 10 games. He had to get there in the end.

 

Gone none up front now. Dikgacoi on for Mason. Slade given a new tactics book?
