Michael Chopra and new boy Jason Byrne scored the goals which gave Cardiff City a victory over Wolves at a half empty Molineux. At last the season is back on track and the debutant from Ireland could not have had a better start to his football league career!

The attendance at Molineux was - 16,772

David Jones said after the match which has become infamous due to Wolves banning bluebirds fans from attending: "It was ironic our fans were not at the ground. We chose not to accept any hospitality at all, so our chairman Peter Ridsdale sat in the dug-out with us and he banged his head on the roof when we scored. In all my time when I was manager of Wolves and bringing opposition teams to Molineux I have never felt an atmosphere like it - it was dead. But we got our just rewards for our fans."

He continued when asked about injuries to say: "Losing Darren Purse is a big blow because he is an experienced player and the one who keeps what is a young defensive line together. He has damaged discs in his back and it is too early to say how serious the problem is but we will get him off for tests as soon as we can. But Darren is a strong character and hopefully the discs can click straight back in."
