WOLVES PRE-SEASON SUMED UP.
Southend 0 - 4 Wolves: Steve Bull started his Wolves career with a trip to Southend. "Bully" will be very pleased with the way his team performed, and will be looking to build on the performance, if they are to stay in the premier league. Marcus Bent also began his Wolves career today, being bought in on-loan by Mick McCarthy before he left. Bent grabbed a goal on his Wolves début, 15 minutes into the game, with a powerful header into the top corner. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake then grabbed a goal on the 41st minute with a beautiful run taking it past a defender, and then cooler slotting it past the goalkeeper. The game then died down until the 55th minute where Bent added his second goal, another header. Chrisophe Berra then added a goal with a header in the 88th minute. Steve Bull will be pleased with his opening game!!
Milwall 0 - 1 Wolves: Wolves then when to a indimidating game against Millwall, and they showed that they were no pushovers, with Wolves struggling to a 1 - 0, thanks to a Greg Halford left footed thunderbolt from the edge of the area, Steve Bull will be very pleased with the way his first two games have gone.
Watford 1 - 2 Wolves: The loyal Wolves fans who travel home and away will not be dissapointed with a immpressive performance from their team. However, the day didnt start very well with Stephen McGinn grabbing a goal within the first 5 minutes for Watford, to make it a nervy start for Wolves. However the teams went in with Watford leading 1-0, and Steve Bull must have really got the players going, with Wolves showing a much better performance with Stephen Fletcher getting a goal within the first 10minutes of kick off. Christophe Berra then grabbed another late goal for Wolves to give Bully his 3rd win in a row!
AFC Telford 0 - 2 Wolves: Wolves then travelled to AFC Telford and Bully chose to rest his senior players and give the kids a run around, and they didnt dissapoint. Wolves coming out rightful winners with Ashley Hemmings getting 2 goals to his name, coming on 55 and 59 minutes.
Southampton 0 - 0 Wolves: This is the only result what would have dissapointed Bully, with his team failing to score a goal, however his team did cause the most chances. Bully will still remain upbeat as they are still unbeaten.
Glenavon 0 - 3 Wolves: Bully also chose to rest his senior players with a week before they face a second season in the Barclays Premier League. Wolves kicked off the game in a positive mood with Jake Cassidy grabbing a goal within the first minute. The pressure continued until Muganji-Bia grabbed a second on the 30th minute. The teams then went into half time with Wolves leading 2-0. Wolves then came out all guns blazing with Ashley Hemmings grabbing a goal on the 77th minute, he then had another disallowed for offside on 81 minutes.
