Ian goes to his mothers some weekends so we will miss his ..expert commentary. Guess its over to the blog we go
Unfortunately I'm on Wolves Player commentary on the Football League app so I'm slightly behind, but I'll update when and where I can.
Sounds like we've had a good start, commentators described it as "frenetic".
Confident opening 15 minutes for Wolves, by no means do we sound out of our depth.
Le Fondre gets through on goal, nutmegging Golbourne, breaks into penalty area but puts his effort wide.
Free kick taken but hits wall, Golbourne back into area, Evans gets shot away but puts it wide.
Mistake by Cardiff in dangerous territory, Wolves attempt to take advantage but Hudson clears up and puts out for corner. Corner cleared.
Danny Batth header from corner easily saved by Marshall. Cardiff with another defensive mistake but get away with it again. Might only be a matter of time before they make one that will really hurt them.
To anyone reading this, please accept my apologies for my commentary, it's nowhere near up to Ian's standard but I'm doing my best!
You're doing a good job stew. Sounds like we're doing ok but it may be time to put one of these chances away.
Yeah I agree Andy, Cardiff sound shaky at the back, especially Fabio who can't handle Sako or RVLP. Shot from RVLP saved comfortably by Marshall.
Hi Steway, the commentary is great, but the sig pictures get tiresome by the tenth post !!
Cardiff starting to get back into it slightly, but making mistakes both going forward and defensively. Good signs but need to make these chances count. Doherty goes past Fabio and his shot hits side netting.
Hi jamwolf, apologies mate, they're annoying me now too! I'll see if I can get rid at half time!
Fabio really can't handle any of our wing play, Doherty, RVLP and Sako all having great success. Stearman with brilliant work, stealing ball from Maynard.
RVLP having a good game, showing his strength by holding onto the ball in the face of Cardiff physicality. Dicko tripped in box, no penalty and no appeal.
Cardiff corner into Le Fondre, flicks on to Morrison who smashes his shot off target.
HT Wolves 0-0 Cardiff. Good first half from Wolves, getting a lot of success in the final third on the wings but again we're having trouble putting our chances away (something discussed at length on this forum). Hopefully we can carry this into the second half and nick a goal, else we could be in for Rotherham déjà vu.
I'll be back after the break, in the middle of cooking a from-scratch curry!
Afternoon Steway.
I'm currently sat in the car park at Calis waiting for 5pm ferry, so I can tell you you're doing a fine job at keeping us all up to speed thanks. Sounds to me like we're doing much better against Carsiff than I expected especially on the wings - which is what KJ has set up for this season. Talksport day Cardiff nearly scored through Le Frondre against the run of play.

You're half way through , son. Keep it together. By the sound of it, playing the way we are, I'm starting to get more twitchy the longer it goes without a goal. Hope this doesn't provide further proof that we need to strengthen attack.

Cheers Cheshire, are you on your way back now mate? We're definitely doing better, either our wing play has stepped up a gear or Cardiff are having a mate at full back. I would suggest its a bit of both. If we can keep creating chances I don't see why we can't get a goal early in the second half. Yeah, Le Fondre should have scored according to commentators. They should have scored from the corner too, but seems they panicked when presented with a rare good opportunity.

Tell you what Andy, I don't envy Ian doing this every game, it's a lot harder than you'd imagine. Kudos to Ian for doing it every game!
It sounds like rotheram revisited , loads of play but not the fire power upfront

That's exactly my concern angry. They're good enough going forward to really punish us too. Half time substitution, Maynard off for Cardiff, Kenwyne Jones on. Real danger man, could be our undoing.
According to commentary team, Jones has scored 5 in 5 against us. Just to give is all hope!
Sako down in a lot of pain after clash with Cardiff player. Back on feet and ok.
Got to say Sako going down put the sh*tters up me, can't afford to lose players right now.
Marshall claims ball in from corner, goes down holding left ankle and has a go at assistant referee. Think we're getting to them. RVLP through to Golbourne, who plays it to RVLP who takes an airshot and the chance has gone.
Song coming from the South Bank - "you know what you are, sheep sh*gging ba$tards, you know what you are".
Le Fondre plays ball to Whittingham who shoots low and good save from Ikeme, tips round post for Cardiff corner.
Ball given away by Cardiff again, RVLP breaks away but cross blocked. We really need to fLd advantage of these mistakes, else we'll come to rue them.
Wolves boxing Cardiff in, in their own area, attack is halted with handball against Dangerous.
As an OT, Colin Cameron scores for Berwick Rangers (think he might be boss there, or coach to Alex Rae). Not sure how old he is now but he must be 40.
Wolves pressuring Cardiff. Wolves substitution, Edwards off, Jacobs on. Edwards looking disappointed to be replaced.
Ses RvLP is making good runs & pinging in the passes but no-one on the end of them for us! It's uncomfortable being ninths situation where one late goal could settle it!
RVLP having an absolute field day Cheshire, shame we can't take advantage (need a target man to take advantage of Sako and RVLP. McDonald shot from distance but over the bar.
Update - Cameron is 42 in October and is player-manager.

Van la Parra races through into penalty area but Fabio puts him off and shot is off target.
It's not looking promising on the goal front, this looks like it will end 0-0. Free kick to Cardiff after foul by Jacobs.
Only game in the Championship without a goal. That should put the mockers on it!

Commentators discussing "deliberate handball" after Cardiff claims against Stearman. Unfortunately, like most pundits and commentators, interpret the laws completely wrongly. I wish they had to take a referees course before commenting on refereeing decisions. Don Goodman's the worst.

Sounds like it could be Cardiff getting it though! Wolves fans not happy with refereeing decision, players being hacked all over the place.
I would have taken a draw before the game, but considering our dominance going forward, I'd be fairly disappointed now.
Whittingham into Jones, who brings it down with shot that's blocked at point-blank range by Ikeme. Should have scored.
Another aside, Derby absolutely killing Fulham 5-1, surely the end of Magath. Expected considering our game in the week though, they're awful.
Just into stoppage time and an own goal from Hudson! Well deserved for the boys, took long enough though!
GTFI FCK YOU SOLSKAER YOU BABY FACED ***T!

Molineux rocking now, tension completely lifted. Another chance as Henry puts in low cross but cleared by Connolly.
If only Morgan would give jackett funds for a striker, this season could have been memorable
Full time, Wolves 1-0 Cardiff. Dominated the game for large swathes and well deserved. Excellent result, beat all 3 relegated teams. Still need to improve on converting our chances but a lot to build on here.

If Morgan would just back him with enough money to build a great squad as well as a couple of additions to the eleven, we could possibly get into the play offs. Unfortunately I can't see it happening and could lose more in Sako going for free at the end of this season.
It's amazing how many games have been 1-0, even in pre-season. We're like WB* circa 2001/02. Need to pay some money for a top striker, Dicko not proving anything, would be good as an impact sub in this league with his pace.
Lol Andy! Thanks, and thanks jamwolf. Up to 4th, just behind Forest, Watford and Norwich. Level with 2nd place.
Good commentary Steway. Well done. Yet another 1-0 win. Still 3 points are all we need.
Big positive, best defence in the league so far. Big negative, 5th lowest scorers. A top striker is needed to put the number of chances we're creating away. Please give him the money Steve.

Thanks BW, although tbh, looking forward to Ian's return, he is the commentary god. Hard work this was!
great win,but def need a striker all these crosses coming in but no one to get on the end of it. still a great result, come on me babbies 
Was a fantastic game. The whole team played really well. Well deserved three points.
Evening all. Just back from a day at the coast. Appreciate the frustration about goals, but let's also consider that we've played and beaten the 3 EPL sides, whilst we should have been out of sight by HT had Nouha had his finishing boots on against Rotherham.
Impressive thing for me is the goals against column. 3 clean sheets against the 3 EPL relegation sides.
It's a solid start. Wonder how long before Clarke gets a chance?

It's a shame Ikeme couldn't stay fit early in his career as he's head and shoulders above Hennessey in every department. He's just another reason why getting promotion this season is a must as if he has another good season I could see half a dozen Premier League teams coming in for him and at that time he'd be 29 so won't hang around here forever. Also there's no reason why he can't get in the England squad, I know he hasn't played at the top level but he's easily a better all round keeper than Foster or Ruddy so if they can get England caps there's no reason why Ikeme can't.
