Wolves (H) Match Thread

[Lacoste]

Team

Federici, Gunter (c), Obita, Hector, Pearce, Akpan, Norwood, Taylor, Blackman, Cox, Murray.

Couldn't find subs. Surprised Guthrie isn't in there. Desperately need Karacan, Williams and McCleary back.

[Ian Royal]

Wolf's keeper (I presume) looking very tentative and uncomfortable. Looks to be carrying a leg injury... muscle strain of some sort maybe.

[Lacoste]

Subs

Andersen, Long, Cooper, Kuhl, Guthrie, Mackie, Pogrebnyak

Good to see HRK is out.

[Lacoste]

Wolves

Ikeme; Doherty, Batth (c), Stearman, Golbourne; McDonald, Evans, Henry, Saville, Sako; Clarke

Subs: McCarey, Rowe, van La Parra, McAlinden, Ebanks-Landell, Jacobs, Edwards.

[Ian Royal]

He's looking better now.

from the warm up id say the subs are kuhl, guth, pog, mackie, cooper and I'm not sure on the other.. obvs andersen for keeper I'd have thought.

[Dick Habbin's hairdo]

And another one and a bit RFC academy graduates starting for the YamYams..... Henry and Golbourne.

[Libertine]

Morning all! Just after 8:00 am here...just woke up and enjoying my first strong cup 'o coffee of the day.

Nice to be able to watch it but the Guardian has a mbm page up for the match with one of their football reporters providing live comments. They rarely do that for anything other than PL/Champion's League matches.

[JimmytheJim]

That's because it's on the telly so it's easy journalism. Watch telly, write comments, claim Pulitzer.

[Libertine]

Sure, it is easy journalism but generally they do not devote those "lazy" resources to a league game for 2 Championship sides.

[Royal Ginger]

Wolves should be winning. Atrocious finishing.

[Libertine]

We've been growing into this game the past 5 minutes...looking much better now.

Goal Hector

[Libertine]

HECTOR! GTFI...

[Royal Ginger]

Short corners are shit...

[Royal Ginger]

Akpan's an enigma. He's sorted out his fear of tackling chasing everything down at the moment, and he's put a couple of decent passes around, but his first touch is still appalling.

[ManchesterRoyals]

Not seen Hector before but looks decent

[Cureton's Volley]

They are actually trying to deafen us in the East Stand concourse & toilets with the bloody tannoy announcements!

[Libertine]

HT...Reading 1-0 Wolves

[Royal Ginger]

Decent half, Wolves had the better either end of it but Reading had the lion's share and are worthy of the lead.

I'd like to see Mackie replace Taylor at some point and suspect Guthrie will replace Akpan late on too.

Murray looks dangerous if a little greedy.

[floyd__streete]

What a woeful football match that has been so far, the only moment of excitement has been when I almost dropped my fry up off my lap at what was a well-worked goal and the only piece of quality.

Does any Reading player concede possession more readily than Akpan? Also he wins very little in the air which has put us in trouble once or twice.

We're very one-paced.
