Great stuff, Gav. If you have time to provide a match and player appraisal afterwards, that would be great but, if you don't, I still appreciate any feedback you can provide! :)

Thanks Gav - got it! :) - view external link (https://twitter.com/OfficialWolves)

[wolves71]

4-1, Sako penalty. Jacobs the player that was fouled.

[wolves71]

Those doing the updates seem to have been impressed with youngster Declan Weeks, the replacement for the injured Tommy Rowe in the first half line up. Finished 4-1 to Wolves.

[Woking88]

Thanks for your efforts, Gav! :)

[1877wolf]

Wolves lead 2-1 at the break, James Henry replaced ten minutes before half time by Eusebio, Henry withdrawn after a niggle.

Thanks '71, a Godsend as usual.
Eusebio, eh?
The rings a bell.

All good stuff.

[greystone16]

71, pop over to the Baggie board. They are having a Black Country Day celebration.

I'm half cut already.

It looks as if Tommy Rowe will be out for a few weeks with a broken bone in his foot. Not the best start to his Wolves career.

[Woking88]

Extended highlights in link below.

An encouraging performance. I am amazed that Sako's penalty didn't break the net! :)

Edit - Sorry, didn't realise they had been posted before as the 'link' post followed on from comment about Black Country Day. - view external link (http://tinyurl.com/m5d6g39)

Good for him! I hope he gets a hat-trick! :)

[Woking88]

Thanks, Gav. Clarke sooooo close to his hat-trick! Good to see a lot of 'invention' from the Wolves players, especially the Dicko goal. I must watch that again as I am still not sure how he did it! :)

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

Lovely jubbly mate, thanks. Great to see the goals going in. One thing that has impressed me in both of the friendlies is the running off the ball, intelligent and plenty of it. Lets hope it continues through the season

[wolves71]

The second Clarke goal, i'd question how he was allowed so much space and unmarked at the far post. Jacobs tried that corner a few times in the brief highlights. Dicko's goal was a a strange one, but credit to McAlinden for his persistence just before.

[Woking88]

Has anyone seen an attendance figure for the Bohemians game? With source for verification please.

Many thanks.

Ok - got it now. 1,672 on Wikipedia. Thanks.

[TundraWolf]

Nice to see us winning with a variety of goal scorers over these two games, but I wonder at the level of the opposition, weak League One...League Two...Conference...etc?
