Firstly I'd like to welcome a new player to you all. Jesse Lingard has joined us on a loan deal from Man Utd, a talented young left midfielder that we are looking forward to see in action.
Anyway another busy month for us here at Wolves as we played a total of 6 matches this month. Four league games and the 1st round of the JPT North Section along with the 3rd round of the Capital One Cup.
In the JPT North Section we got drawn against Carlisle, the match being played at Molineux. Another good team performance led to a 3-1 victory for us with Richard Stearman, a Carlisle own goal and Kevin Foley getting the goals for us.
Later in the month it was time for the 3rd round of the Capital One Cup. After a terrific result against Premier league outfit Newcastle, we were rewarded with another home tie against Premier league opposition. This time the opponents would be Southampton, another extremely hard draw for us. The players were simply fantastic as they yet again caused a cup upset as they beat the Saints 2-1. Nouha Dicko and David Davis hitting the all important goals that see us into the next round. We are all waiting on tenderhooks to see who we get in the next round as the boys look as though they fear no one.
OK so now to round up our league form. The first league match of September was a home match against Walsall. Leon Clarke and Emile Heskey, yes you are seeing that right Emile Heskey scored, got the goals in a 2-0 win. How bad are Walsall in letting Heskey score. LOL. With that victory our unbeaten run now stands at 8 league and cup games.
Next up was another home tie. This time we welcomed Swindon to Molineux. A five goal thriller was played out but unfortunately for the Robins, Nouha Dicko was simply unplayable and single-handedly destroyed them with an outstanding performance grabbing a hat-trick in a man of the match display that was amazing to watch as we ran out 3-2 winners. Run now up to 9 games.
Could we get the run into double figures?
Next up was a trip to Shrewsbury and our first defeat since the opening game of the season. The Shrews running out comfortable winners 2-0 in a disappointing end to our run.
The month ended with a home match against Sheffield United. A 2-1 victory over the Blades ended what was again a very good month for us at Wolves. Emile Heskey got his second goal of the year and Leon Clarke also popped up with a goal.
The month ends with us sitting in 4th place in the league and still in the Capital One Cup and also the Johnsons Paint Trophy.
Roll on October. Lets see if we can get another good run going again. Currently at 2 games unbeaten.
