Last meeting

Charlton

2-0

Wolves

 The last time Wolves played Charlton was at The Valley, as the Wolves crashed to a 2-0 defeat, goals by Stuart and Brown. The home fixture, earlier in the season was a lively afair but Charlton again came out on top, winning 3-2, Rufus, Pringle and Robinson scoring the goals.

.

One's to Watch.

 

New signing Di Canio will be out to impress on his debut, likewise will new loan signing, and ex Wolf Carlton Cole.

.

 

Nobody really impressed in our opening game against Blackburn Rovers, however with the famous Molineux crowd behind the lads expect strong performances from new boy Silas.

.

The Verdict

.

Well, last week was a disaster.

 Wolves headed into their first ever Barclaycard Premiership game only to watch Blackburn run rings round the small Wolves players.

 Goals from Amoruso, Thompson, Emerton and a Cole double late on gave Blackburn a 5-1 win, Iversen scoring at the second attempt for Wolves first ever Premiership goal.

 However, it`s now time to put that defeat behind us and look forward to Saturdays game, against Charlton Athletic.

 It is expected that Jones will start with the same team which got thrashed at Blackburn as key players, Kennedy, Lescott, Ndah and Kenny Miller all miss again through injury.

 Charlton will be wanting to get their first points under their belts also, a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City cemented a bad start to their very own season.

 We knew the Premiership was going to be difficult, and that it has proved, but with the "Molineux Factor" we all know anything can happen.

 Full report after the game!
