Burton Albion come to Molineux to take on the Wolves for the first ever time. Burton are adapting to life in their debut season of the second tier of English Football winning two and drawing one of their five games so far.
Match Facts
In four attempts, no Nigel Clough team has ever beaten Wolves. His most recent attempt came as manager of Sheffield United in March 2014.
Wolves are unbeaten in nine successive Championship home games, of which five have ended goalless.
Burton have scored a total of five goals in their two Championship away trips this season. No team has scored more without winning.
Wolves have not conceded a goal from open play at Molineux in the Championship in the last 847 minutes of action, since Adam Reach scored for Preston in February.
Five of Burton's 10 league goals this season have been headers, a joint league-high with Barnsley.

I will be at Molineux tomorrow for the game so I hope those who are not there get together on here and enjoy the games as it unfolds.
Record signing Ivan Cavaleiro is straight into the starting XI, as is returning centre-back Richard Stearman - Manchester United loanee Cameron Borthwick-Jackson who made 14 appearances for the Premier League giants last term starts at left-back.

Looks like I've got to go shopping after being allowed to watch the Utd vs City game so will join you later Ian
ok Afternoon All. Highly interesting game what with all the new signings. 3pm off we go
1st corner of the game to Burton...high ball in,headed over the bar, goalkick.
Quote:Ian.PershoreWolf
panic station after a poor backpass from Stearman to Ikeme
Normal service from Stears resumed!
Burton shot deflected for a corner, Wolves defence struggling, penalty to Burton for shirt pull
Another Burton shot on target that Ikeme deals with. Burton well on top in last 10 minutes.
Deflected shot,lucky, Burton should've scored. Gladon heads away the corner.
30 mins gone. Overall plenty of possession by Wolves but lacking purpose, only 1 shot off target so far.
Corner to Wolves after a Stearman shot gets deflected. No threat from the corner.
Poor tackle on Costa earns Burton the 1st yellow card of the match.
Half Time 0-0
Despite the majority of possession going to Wolves, Burton can count themselves unlucky not to be ahead.

Poor first half. Plenty of Ball but lack conviction. Burton seem more direct while we look to pass our way to goal. Ref is shocking.

How are the'new boys' doing so far?
BJ has been busy, stearman doing his usual, Gladon and Cavaleiro running up and down the pitch but don't look like scoring so far.
turning into a bad tempered game,Burton very physical, Clough has done nothing but moan all match.
Sloppy goalkeeping gives Wolves a corner. Cav takes,goalmouth ping pong eventually cleared.
Burton header from the corner headed straight at Ikeme,safe hands.
Stearman makes a good block.
Costa booked for diving. B'stard referee.

BBC have us at 60% possession and 0-0.
Similar to last season but I was wondering if the style of play is different?

Bodvarsson poor header in front of goal.

Good chance for Wolves goes begging,Wolves corner, Mason effort goes wide.
Ikeme makes a comfotable save,Mason poor shot on the break, Burton then break with a good effort that Ikeme saves.
Lot of good work leading up to the goal, which Prince made a lot of ground to get to.
another chance for Wolves who look a lot better with Bods and Mason on.
more dodgy defending from Batth who along with Stearman haven't looked that good. Mason clears.
Full time 1-1
For 70 mins Wolves failed to impress,better once Bods and Mason came on but Burton thoroughly deserved a point at least and ould be argued they deserved to win.
Not impressed.

Major flare-up between Zenga and Burton goalkeeper, Wolves security having to step in to restrain Zenga and show him off the pitch

Was very poor, we lacked conviction except for just after we scored to make it 1-0. We then started to put some energy into it. Then with around the 85 min mark we decided to slow it down again and it cost us.
