| 9:08 |
[Comment From Jimlad]
21000 wolves fans? |
| 9:09 |
[Comment From Masaccio]
thats right jimlad |
| 9:09 |
Colin Tattum: Jerome ran himself into ground, O'Connor has to pick up slack quick...Chris, don't think Blues can do much else to be honest....O'Connor is better at holding ball up than Jerome though, so maybe that's the thinking there |
| 9:09 |
[Comment From Barry, Birmingham]
Blues 55% to win now. |
| 9:09 |
[Comment From Jimlad]
I should talk - I'm missing the game |
| 9:09 |
[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]
FADDY SWAPS WITH JEROME OCONNOR DOWN THE MIDDLE |
| 9:10 |
Colin Tattum: Jerome was up front on his own, Faddy wide left, joining in up top when he can |
| 9:10 |
Mat Kendrick: ref's just had a word with fourth official about an incident on the far side. Can anyone shed any light on that? |
| 9:11 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Hopefully it's not another coin-related incident.
|
| 9:12 |
[Comment From Masaccio]
coin on the linesman? |
| 9:12 |
[Comment From Jimlad]
Hve we reACHED THE wOLVES HALF LATELY? |
| 9:12 |
[Comment From Lisa, North London]

[Comment From FRED FLINTSTONE]

[Comment From keith in cornwall]
another contribution to the transfer fund |
| 9:12 |
[Comment From Chris in Montreal]
Yeah, that is the truth of the matter I suppose Tatts, I just would like to see the tension between the goalie and the centre backs exploited a bit more. But, I'll take half an hour of this if required! |
| 9:12 |
Mat Kendrick: McCarthy going to gamble here. Ten goals better off than Blues in terms of goal difference so might as well go all out to get a point even if they risk losing 2-0 |
| 9:12 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: GAME UPDATE - 55 min - This game is still red hot. A booking for Karl Henry and Andy keogh given a ticking off by the referee and Maik Taylor for going in late on Radhi Jaidi.
57 mins - O'Connor introduced for Jerome to ensure that the ball sticks upfront for Blues.
61 mins - O'Connor caught offside from Larsson's pitch forward |
| 9:13 |
Colin Tattum: I see where you're coming from, Wolves backline, down the centre, aren't at all on the same wavelength, Jerome would be better to power at them and force mistakes |
| 9:13 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: Vokes on for Edwards |
| 9:15 |
Colin Tattum: Harewood moves wider to right, Keogh and Vokes the central strikers |
| 9:15 |
[Comment From Masaccio]
Oconnor looking tanned |
| 9:16 |
Mat Kendrick: Still think there's another goal in this, but which way it goes, nobody knows |
| 9:17 |
Mat Kendrick: Blues seem to have weathered the storm and are having a go back now |
| 9:17 |
Colin Tattum: McCarthy furiously urging Wolves to sqeeze up from the back and get Blues deeper towards their own goal |
| 9:18 |
[Comment From Jimlad]
tanned or spanked? |
| 9:18 |
[Comment From No sugar In mine thanks]
Tatts: if we hang on here could you commandeer the front page tomorrow? "Blues win a must-win game" would be a big story. |
| 9:18 |

[Comment From Jimlad]
detaqils!!!!!! |
| 9:21 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: GOAL - O'Connor 69th - Murphy long ball, O'Connor latched on to Berra's header, rounded Hennessey and fired home from the narrow angle.
|
| 9:21 |
Colin Tattum: Perserverance, aggression, desire by O'Connor - excellent |
| 9:22 |
Mat Kendrick: Berra's had an absolute mare there, cracking anticipation and finishing from O'Connor. If you think the Prem title race is interesting then how about in the Championship....... |
| 9:22 |
[Comment From john s.africa]

[Comment From Lisa, North London]

[Comment From Kyle]
He's back!!!! Come on you Blues |
| 9:22 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: This is now a mountain to climb for Wolves, it looks as though this Championship title race has been ripped open. |
| 9:23 |
Colin Tattum: Blues have to keep their heads now, shown a couple of signs of lapsing, have to shut Wolves out for next 10 mins |
| 9:23 |
[Comment From No sugar In mine thanks]
Ladies and gentlement I unreservedly apologise. 77% of you were right and I was wrong. |
| 9:24 |
[Comment From Masaccio]
blues, blues, blues |
| 9:24 |
Colin Tattum: O'Connor reminded me a little of the Hors when he chased down at Enckleman and went through his attempted clearance |
| 9:24 |
Andy W at St Andrew\'s: I'm happy to say that my prediction of a no-score bore was very much wide of the mark, superb St Andrew's battle and a great atmosphere to match. |
| 9:25 |
Colin Tattum: Yes, atmosphere like of old; Blues fans love a battling performance when all's said and done, as the underdogs, not nice, pretty football |
| 9:26 |
Colin Tattum: 15 min to go |
| 9:26 |

[Comment From No sugar In mine thanks]
If I was a Wolves fan I might have topped myself by now. thrown it all away against 10 men with a series of schoolboy defensive howlers. |
| 9:26 |
[Comment From Lisa, North London]

| 9:26 |
