Wolves 5-1 Bolton

Go on then-what's the score going to be.

I don't think there's anything here for us.
On a good day it'll be 2-0. On a bad day possibly 3 or 4-0

My prediction: Wolves 3-1 Bolton with us having around 19% possession again.

we'll be lucky to get nil in this game, i can only see a hammering for us.

Hard to see the run continuing 2-0

With Parky stating that he's backing his own judgement and won't be making any major changes for the Wolves game, we can only hope they find a way to avoid spending 90% of the game defending like the Alamo. I'm also thinking 2 nil to the Wolves but as usual hoping for better.

We'll be lucky to get away without conceding at least 4, it's so annoying reading the empty words spouted by Parkinson, there's not a snowball in hells chance he can change his style as he is so limited in ability.

Everyone on the Wolves chat room reckons they will win comfortably with predictions varying from 2 nil to 4 nil and nearly all reckoning Brazilian Leo Bonatini will score first. They have so many good foreign players, it's hard to pick a first scorer though. Maybe they'll get complacent?

Preview: Five talking points ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers v Bolton Wanderers

As Wanderers travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers looking to maintain their recent unbeaten run, bwfc.co.uk highlights five talking points ahead of the Whites' Sky Bet Championship clash with Wolves.

1. Unbeaten run

Unbeaten from their last seven outings, Wanderers travel to Sky Bet Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

Picking up maximum points against Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City, the Whites had late goals to curse for stalemates against Queens Park Rangers, Fulham, Sunderland and Reading on top of a goalless draw at Preston North End.

Now preparing for their final outing of November, Bolton will be looking to extend their unbeaten run into a third month despite their underdog status, knowing a victory could see them climb out of the bottom three if other results go their way.

However, the Trotters face arguably their toughest test of the season so far with hosts Wolves winning of their last eight outings in the league.

And with Wanderers' last win on the road at this level coming back in April 2015, they know they will have to be at their very best if they are to clinch a positive result at Molineux.

2. Defensive decision

Manager Phil Parkinson must decide whether to reinstate Mark Beevers to his back four or stick with Reece Burke after the West Ham United loanee scored his first goal for the club on Tuesday night.

Only suspension brought Beevers' ever-present status to an end against Reading in midweek after he picked up his fifth caution of the season against Preston North End.

Burke did his chances of retaining his place no harm against the Royals and continues to impress in the heart of the Whites' back-line when called upon.

However, Beevers has been back to his best alongside David Wheater in recent weeks, providing a healthy selection headache for Saturday's game.

3. No pay on the day

Fans are reminded that tickets for Wanderers' trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday will NOT be available on the day of the game.

Bolton will be backed by over 800 supporters at Molineux this weekend after advance sales closed earlier today.

4. Former Wolves

A number of former Wolves players will be hoping to line up at their former stomping ground come 3pm on Saturday.

Karl Henry memorably won promotion to the Premier League with the club in 2009 as he spent seven seasons in the West Midlands, making 272 appearances and scoring seven goals.

Mark Little started his career at Molineux, making 32 appearances between 2006 and 2010 alongside a handful of loan moves before signing for Peterborough United.

Meanwhile Adam Le Fondre spent the 2015/16 season on loan with Wolves, while David Wheater had a one-month temporary stint at Molineux in October 2006.

Will any come back to haunt their former employers? Only time will tell!

5. Late goals?

With the majority of the Trotters' recent goals coming in the first half with a number of opposition strikes going in late on at the other end, the shoe could be on the other foot on Saturday if Wanderers' recent history at Molineux is anything to go by.

In the eight meetings between the two sides in the West Midlands since the turn of the millennium, 11 of the Whites' 15 strikes have come after the interval.

Furthermore, six of those goals have come in the final ten minutes. Will history repeat itself? Be sure to stay in your seat until the very last kick if you do not want to miss a potential dramatic finish on Saturday!

Wolverhampton wankers 1 - 2 The one and only WANDERERS

Embarrassingly one sided, a relief we avoided 7 or 8 against our old rivals

Ken still expecting 20,000 to hand over their hard earned to watch this pile of shite?

How depressing. It'll be interesting to see how Parkinson reacts to this.

A game which demonstrated the gulf in class. That said, it's not this game that decides our season. It's the ones in which we lose a lead in the final minutes against teams around us. Barnsley will be a pressure game now.

The problem is Wander, they're all pressure games, but this lot of numpties can't see it.

Spot on Lusty.  The Wolves are a class above (and a few million quid above) everyone else in this league.  The next few games will tell the tale.  It will be interesting to see if KA will splash any money in January to help us survive.  Games like today will see the crowds shrink even further, endangering KA's game plan.  As you said so correctly, we can't be giving away points in the final 10 minutes... that's the difference between survival and League One.  We need to big up wins and we need some reinforcements.  KA - The next move is yours!

Not unexpected I suppose, but again totally set up wrong by a manager who is so tactically inept, there'll be many more results like this with Parkinson still in charge, the likes of Derby, Boro, Leeds licking their lips at the thought of playing us, I now believe we are by far the worst team in this league by a country mile, thanks Parkinson.

I swear you know nothing about football

We’re a team patched together, restricted by embargoes and being totally skint. How anyone expects us to compete against a side that spend £20+ million in the summer is beyond me.

Definitely aren’t the worst side in this league and I think we’ll stay up just about though sheer effort and team spirit

So what was the point of getting promoted? most teams have spent big in this league, I will refer back to games against Sunderland, QPR, Fulham, Reading, we had leads going into the last 5 minutes had we won them today wouldn't have been a biggie, but we didn't and you can gloss over it all you want but Parkinson has cost us too many points this season, now carry on defending the indefensible.
