Wolves will take on Burton Albion for only the second time in the clubs history. The first meeting finished 1-1 back in September after the visitors scored a late equaliser.
Match Facts
This is the first meeting in any competition between Burton and Wolves at the Pirelli Stadium.
Just 7.3% of the shots that Burton Albion have attempted this season in the Championship have resulted in a goal - the lowest ratio in the division.
Helder Costa has had a hand in more of Wolves' league goals this season than any other player in the squad (12, seven goals and five assists).
Burton have lost each of their last five home games in the Championship, scoring once in the process.
Michael Kightly was a great favourite at Wolves, scoring 24 goals in 126 games in an injury-hit five and a half years on the books at Molineux, until he left for Stoke City in 2012.

Gotta be the worst opening for a very long time, both sides looking useless so far.

Burton forced into an early substitution, hopefully it'll alter the game play !
half time 1-0 Wolves
Awful 30 mins from both sides but Wolves finished the half strongly, great work from Dave Edwards to win the penalty.

Excellent stuff, especially as I have 300 quid on us this afternoon...I hope I won't be disappointed. In other news Palace are 4 down to blunderland and the bin dippers being pumped at hull
Congrats to fellow Wolves fan Derek Hartland for winning the 2016 CAMRA gold medal for his perry.

How's Kightly looking? (not that I care as long as we win)
Poor. Has had some possession but he's just forced a good save out of Ikeme
Not been a great game has it. Been watching Scotland beat Ireland and now Wolves must follow.
Bright ion for the poor Saville.
Problem with Saville is he isn't a good attacking every saturday player, he's just a good player in a side that just stubbornly defends. Should've got rid. We wneed players with a bit of positivity to do well in the league.

Great defending from Coady stops a 3 on 2 problem by pushing their player out wide.

Sounds like it's time for a substitute.
Yep, Bright coming on hasn't changed things at all
Free kick by Costa right by the corner flag, 6 Wolves in the box, garbage, cleared
Haven't been able to follow much this afternoon - bloody typical Kightly scoring.
2nd half 30 mins gone 1-1
2 corners to Burton, Costa concedes free kick for holding kites, Ikeme safe catch
It's been all Burton this half , a pathetic Wolves side looking right losers.
Bods and Marshall on

Bods came on for Costa who had a game to forget, Marshall for Weimann
Useless free kick from Evans. Another player who should'nt be near the 1st team, I'd much rather have Price in the team any day
Typical Wolves, another defeat against a poor side.
How much longer do we put up with c.rap like Dicko,? fkin joker who couldn't score or perform in a brothel.
Evans and Saville...Woeful.

Useless b.astards..we all got carried away beating the Liverpool under 12 s but we arent where we are in the table by coincidence. We're fcking @#$%&, lets not dress it up. The odd win against 10 man Barnsley or a cup where teams can't be bothered showing up doesn't detract from how abysmal we are.
Shocking again, every time you think a result will turn our season we then get beat by a poor side.
B.gger
Reality check - but I'm so disappointed.
What next, Banks' name will be dropped in favour of Marstons ............. wait a minute ....

Typical @#$%& wolves!
Been following this 'script' for over 45 years now and not much changes!
I can see us beating Newcastle and then losing to an injury time tap-in to Wigan......then beating Chelsea! .......before losing to Millwall in the quarter finals!
"Fu.ckin Wolves Aye We"!

We made the 5th round of the FA cup , lie 17th in the championship and get comments on the mix such as these
For me this season is now about making the top 8/10, keeping faith with the youngsters and putting together the nucleus of a side and squad, augmented with more quality in the summer, that can make a serious challenge for top 2 next season." states north norfolk wolf who most weeks is near suicide with despair at how woeful we are
"Totally agree mate. I have long been saying that our target for this season is to finish with the sort of form that would make us promotion hopefuls next time.
Then as you rightly say if we can add two or three quality players in the summer, we should be a match for any other championship team." cries astral
"Let the good times roll". screams the north west wanderer
Only place we will be rolling is league one if we dont shape up.. we need a decent keeper, Ikeme is garbage and has been for some time. A whole new defence, central midfielders and at least one striker to misplace the wreck that dicko or whould I say "dozy dicko" has now become post injury. Other than that we're ready to go presuming we play the Liverpool stiffs that struggled to beat Plymouth.
