Wolves 0 Palace 3

Wolves slip to a demoralising defeat at Molineux.

Published

16.53: Full time whistle goes at a barely half full Molineux.

16.50: The Wolves run will now extend to eight games without a win.

16.43: Into the closing stages and it can't be much fun for the Wolves players out there now. Bothroyd clears the bar from close range.

16.34: Bothroyd's shot is cleared off the line and Henry narrowly fails to follow up. "Anguish" is the reaction from the home fans.

16.33: Palace should have made it four but Scowcroft - who scored from 35 yards can't do it from six and puts his effort over the bar.

16.31: The third goal sent thousands heading for the exits, according to Swain.

16.26: Scowcroft makes it three for the visitors - a stunning strike from 35 yards. It came on the break but surely means the end of the game.

16.23: Keogh has Molineux on their feet with a header that shaves the upright and Eastwood fires a shot in from 20 yards. Signs of a comeback from Wolves.

16.16: Foley misses with a header as Wolves try to find a way back into the match.

16.12: Bold move from the manager he brings off Ward and Ebanks-Blake and brings in Keogh and Eastwood.

The fans don't like it. Swain says the decision was greeted by "uproar" and loud booing.

16.09: Scannell doubles Palace's lead. Morrison's shot is blocked and Scannell follows up to put more pressure on MM.

16.05: DudzieWolf has e-mailed in from the South Bank - and it's not happy reading for Wolves fans. Anyone else at the ground, don't forget you can have your say below.

15.48: Half time at Wolves and McCarthy will need to inspire his team in the second half.

15.44: Wolves forced into a change as Gibson goes off injured. He is replaced by Jarvis, allowing Henry to move into central midfield.

15.39: Wolves are posing some goal threat according to Swain, and Bothroyd tests Speroni from long range.

15.32: Gibson tries his luck from 30 yards but sends the shot wide.

15.26: And the home side are made to pay when the visitors take the lead at Molineux and it's top scorer Clinton Morrison.

Wolves fail to deal with Watson's free kick and the ball comes out to Morrison who makes no mistake.

15.25: Ebanks Blake misses a great opportunity to put Wolves in front, glancing a header wide from six yards. Ward following up also direct his effort wide - should have been a goal for Wolves.

15.15: Hennessey tips Scowcroft's header over the bar, "tremendous save" says Swain.

15.14: First move of quality sees Bothroyd find Ward whose cross narrowly evades Ebanks Blake.

15.12: Ebanks Blake narrowly fails to get on the end of a Bothroyd knockdown in the area. Early signs about their partnership look promising.

15.08: Martin Swain at Molineux reports that Ebanks Blake has started well, swapping passes with Bothroyd and playing one lovely volleyed pass.

15.02: First action of the game is a foul by Bothroyd, lets hope it get better for the striker.

15.01: Match kicks off at Molineux.

14.57: Cornishwolf has imparted his local knowledge about Ebanks-Blake below. Don't forget to have your say.

14.51: David Edwards, Wolves other signing did not complete his move in time to play today, he was having a medical at Wolves today.

14.30: Plenty of disquiet about the Wolves team news so far. Does anybody think MM has chosen the right team?

14.07: Ebanks Blake starts with Bothroyd. Henry returns in place of Jarvis in the only other change.

Wolves: Hennessey, Foley, D Ward, Collins, Gray, Henry, Potter, Gibson, S Ward, Ebanks-Blake, Bothroyd.

Subs: Keogh, Edwards, Jarvis, Eastwood, Ikeme.

Thoughts on that Wolves fans.

14.00: There's something on show today that we haven't seen at Molineux for a while - optimism.

The arrival of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has cheered up Wolves fans but it remains seven league games without a win for Mick McCarthy's men.
