Is Martinez injured?

Don't think so.
Why d'you ask?

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

Don't think so.
Why d'you ask?

He was feeling his groin 'like Vic Reeves' according to Spiers.

On Twitter it says a member of the Wolves medical team has gone behind the goal to check on Martinez.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Afobe shot tipped over by Heaton from a through ball by Batth.

Tight angle but good shot from there

 

[Wolf Hunting]

B'ham 2 up v Fulham.
Edwards, to Price and to Afobe from a very narrow angle belts it and the keeper tips it over the bar.
Corner comes in, Ojo floats it over, Henry now to Edwards but it all comes nothing and is cleared away.

Nothing coming over from the commentary re this, though that does not surprise as not sure they are watching the game the whole time

 

[Parkins left foot]

Ojo gets the ball & again cuts inside - has the pace to go outside but seems reluctant to do that. Really not sure that he is a better option to Byrne

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Wolves up to 14th.
Ojo again running into trouble choosing almost every time to run to the INSIDE of the player and they know what he's gonna do everytime.

Correct.
They're too busy reading out comments from fans in exotic places and reading bloody postcards with mountainous views.... Grrr.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Great play from Golbourne riding two tackles until he slots it through and I think Ojo was brought down just outside the box.
Dangerous free kick.
Henry curls it and it's going in and Heaton flying across his goal high to his right catches it 2 handed. Good save and a decent FK but not quite enough on it.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Ojo gets the ball attacks fast lays it off to Afobe no he doesn't he keeps it, checks back and the moment is lost.
Afobe a bit frustrated there.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Edwards, Iorfa and Henry all taking the ball forward there. Burnley stopped from getting back into the game.
FK from Henry, Batth gets a flick and it's headed behind. KMac chips it in and Barton gets fisted by Heaton. In the back of the head...

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Last time there was a draw between these two was back in August 1976.
Since then, Wolves have won 10 vs Burnley's 4. So we're oviously gonna win today...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Williamson blocks off the run as Boyd makes his way into the area - Williamson gets himself into the right position more often than not. Useful addition

 

[Parkins left foot]

Henry cross - dangerous, just headed clear. McDonald wins it and gets it back to Henry.

Cross just goes wide.

Apparently Ikeme has been warming up so maybe Martinez has got a problem

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Henry puts it in and the ball is actually headed back out to Henry who puts another cross in and with the ref standing next to Kmac who's prevented from getting to the ball because the Burnley player badly wants his shirt but Henry's 2nd cross is just cleared. Kmac getting a bit thick with the ref...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Arfield takes the first booking as he clatters Ojo down after Afobe clears the ball from a Burnley FK

 

[Wolf Hunting]

2 mins added as Ojo nicks the ball past the defender who just steps across and takes Ojo out. Yellow card there for Arfield.

Henry combining well with Iorfa. Seems to be a feature in this half.
Good.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Half time whistle goes - decent performance from us but still no real killer final ball.

As much as anything that's a confidence issue - need a goal and a win to allow that to start returning.

At least we are playing a sensible formation that the players understand

 

[Wolf Hunting]

we've got 57% possession with both sides having 4 shots.
Burnley have committed 7 fouls against our 1 though.
Half time with Wolves thrashing Burnley 0-0.
