Your Shout written by Gareth Payne.
21.48 - Moment of still desends on Molineux and the 21,654 crowd as everybody stops, took a moment for realise it was for the referee's whistle for full-time. Hope you all enjoyed your six-goal thriller at Molineux tonight. It's been a pleasure and see you Saturday for the Bristol City match where Gunn will be looking to defend his four-match unbeaten run.
21.47 - Debatable offside call against Carney, looked like Stearman was playing him on, Killen was then free in the middle for a cross.
"Right then...
We Cort them napping and now it's time to go in for the Killen.
Come on City"
Lisa
"Grrr mrs on PC while I've been jumping around the living room! Fantastic game - Come on City!!!"
chrisbetts18
21.43 - Shot dribbles wide of the post and Mick McCarthy goes spare wanting a corner, the assistant gives it after the referee had indicated a goal-kick, Bryan Gunn then waves his arms in disgust. Free-kick given on the resulting corner anyway, that sorted that one out.
"Well, one thing is for sure, the players will learn never to give up... I think most teams in this league would have more or less given up at being 1-0 down or 3-2 down in the matter they scored...
Finally that fighting spirit we desperately need, I can definately see Norwich staying up this year... with fights like this, we can't go down!
Nooooooooooorwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich Ciiiiiiiiityyyyyyyy!!!!!"
chrisalmera
21.43 - Minimum of five times of stoppage time to be added.
21.42 - Matt Jarvis is withdrawn for Chris Iwelumo, cue more music, Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis, why I could not tell you.
"Don't you just love football. This is the reason why I love Norwich."
panomania
21.39 - Chris Killen is on for his City debut, to replace Carl Cort and Chris Iwelumo is stripped. David Marshall is at full-stretch to claim a left-wing cross.
"WHAT A GAME!!"
IMT
21.34 - I believe the bad pun you are looking for is the Gunn plan is to out-shoot the opponents. Chris Killen going through the final stages of his stretching routine.
"So the GUNN plan is to score one more that the others then? That'll do me not sure about my dodgy ticker though."
hamster456
21.30 - I will tempt fate again to try and tell you my Carney story, the last two times I have City have scored so here goes, the Australian Football Federation website, which I think is 'Socceroos' describes David Carney is his bio piece as an 'Excitement Machine'. Wolves change Kyel (spelt correctly) Reid replaces Andy Keogh.
"Doc fixes it!"
panomania
21.29 - I will speak to him after the game and see what his says.
"I won't say this often/again but I could kiss you Ginger Pele!"
jarabe
21.27 - Interesting stat I am just concluding City's last seven visits to Molineux had yielded two points and two goals, City have more than doubled the goal-tally, can they do the same to the points-tally?
21.26 - Sam Vokes hits the outside of Marshall's left-hand post after getting away from Jonathan Grounds, last week's hero.
"Go the Doc!!!!!!!!
I love this game..."
Lisa
"Spookily it seems that I CAN affect the score . . . virtually. I'm scared."
jigs69
"Last time Norwich played and there was a hattrick the Home team was 3-2 up at 62 mins...
Lets not 'do a Wolves' here..."
chrisalmera
21.22 - I want to breathe but can't, Alan Gow is on for his City debut replacing Jamie Cureton and breathe. Wolves player down injured, that is Stephen Ward allowing the City fans to chant Bryan Gunn's name.
21.19 - The equaliser, Clingan's inswinger from the left was met by Doherty but hit his marker, the ball fell loose two yards from goal and Doherty reacted quickest to stab home through a defender on the lines legs. Carney almost puts City ahead, meeting Croft's cross from the right but his volley across goal goes narrowly wide.
21.17 - Gary Doherty bundles City back level, now a six-goal thriller at Molineux. Croft is down injured after winning a throw-in.
21.16 - I informed Gemma of your first-half comment about understating the goal and she took your words on-board. Been impressed with Carney so far, back to my earlier rambling...oh wait an equaliser.
"Obviously, from Gemma's description of Cort's goal, studied understatement was SO first-half."
purplecanary
21.13 - Looks like Alan Gow is going to be introduced shortly for his debut. Gow is on loan from Glasgow Rangers and spent the first-half of the season on loan at Blackpool. He can play in central midfield, wide or up front, a regular utility man.
"Here we go then...
Now, can he or Carney?
Sorry. I'll go..."
Lisa
21.12 - You're not wrong there and seeminly getting more chilly by the moment.
"Chilly con Carney? Sorry!"
jigs69
21.08 - Wolves lead and Ebanks-Blake has his hat-trick, cue more annoying Sylvan Ebanks-Blake music and Molineux is alive unfortunately. The striker appeared to have been tackled just inside the area but he got the luck of the bounce and fired in to restore Wolves' lead.
21.07 - Lee Croft goes in Keith Woolmer's notebook for a sliding tackle on left-back Stephen Ward, who I thought was a striker back when he played for Sunderland.
21.06 - Wolves level, Ebanks-Blake on target again. The striker's effort rolling through a clutch of players on its way in.
"From looking at it Woolmer usally referees League 2 sides. What he is doing at the Molineux who know probably snow forced him to be used who know as like Gareth said as clear as mud!!!!"
panomania
21.02 - Curo, what a chance! Carney again the creative force chipping a ball over to the awaiting Cureton at the far post ten yards from goal but like Keogh in the first-half he fails to connect. Otsemobor gallops down the right moments later on the break but hits his powerful drive straight in to the arms of Hennessey.
21.01 - The Wolves defence stood off the big man and he took aim for 20 yards to beat Hennessey low down to his left. Ball nestles in the corner, City lead.
21.00 - Here's a story, Carl Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooort puts City ahead, the curse of a former player strikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20.58 - Carney straight in the action with a slide-rule ball for Cort but just too heavy for the former Wolves striker's stride pattern. I have been waiting to use this for ages, so drum roll please, the Australian....
20.56 - Looks like Bertrand is the one to make way as I can't spot him back on the field. Here comes confirmation. It is. Carney on for his debut in place of Bertrand.
"Great 1st half, we need to be solid at the start of the second half as McCarthy will be going mad as we speak, they will come out guns blazing, mind you we will come out GUNNS blazing!"
IMT
20.54 - David Carney, the Australian international left-winger on loan from Sheffield United was called back in to the changing rooms as he was warming-up at half-time and is now stripped and being put through some final preparations as I imagine he will be coming on for City at half-time. Unsure as to who for but will update you when we find out.
20.49 - The PA announcer has just asked for a round of applause for the grounds staff and friends and family of for working so hard to make the play playable.
"The whole team are playing 1st class...hope the come out in the 2nd half ready to play.........."
hamster456
20.49 - It is Keith Woolmer, connection running a little slow at the moment.
20.41 - That is the half. Referee (insert name here) blows his half-time whistle.
20.40 - The teamsheet says "Keith Woolmer", a fellow journalist argues there is no such referee and it is Andy but I think there is a Keith, does that help? Just trying to get absolutely crystal-clear as mud clarification.
"CanariesWorld doesn't tell us; Goreham never tells us; Gareth maybe you could tell us who the referee is tonight."
jigs69
20.36 - We both promise to describe our winner in Brazilian fashion. Chris Killeninho to bag it off the bench, that ok with you folks?
"I would just like to say how much I appreciate Gemma's understated way of describing our goals:
None of this tedious pseudo-Brazilian GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL nonsense with half a dozen exclamation marks. Just the facts.
Of course, it could just be lack of practice on her part..."
purplecanary
20.33 - City scramble it away, Drury blocked Keogh's first effort, Ebanks-Blake's effort was palmed away by Marshall and the third from Jarvis which was saved and hacked off the line. City just need to weather this storm to the half.
20.30 - City and Carl Cort survive a loud handball shout inside the area, definitely chest, I had a great view from up here...of his back.
"Go Crofty! We're gonna win 5-2!!"
chrisbetts18
20.28 - New signing Ian Butterworth is in the technical area with Bryan Gunn this evening. Looks like a change for Wolves, Sam Vokes in going to replace Michael Kightly who is clutching his shoulder and he heads straights down the tunnel. Keogh has moved out on this left-flank for those keeping track.
"Go Crofty!"
jarabe
"GET IN!!! Had Crofty to score the first goal unfortunately, but anyways! C'MON YOU YELLOWS!!!"
chrisalmera
"2 chances 1 goal."
hamster456 referring to the Wolves
20.23 - A let off a minute later, Keogh completely misses his header from eight yards, having eluded his marker Doherty.
20.22 - Lee Croft equalises for City, rounding Hennessey. Clingan's dink (that's a technical term) the ball over for Croft, who cuts inside and rounds Hennessey to tap in to the unguarded net.
"According to the stats on CanariesWorld Wolves have had 62% of the possession - are they watching the same game, it sounds from the commentary that it's all us. Oh, but then they score . . ."
jigs69
20.15 - Wolves have stepped it up in the last five and take the lead, Ebanks-Blake with the simplest of goals, a tap-in after Marshall had fumbled Kightly's shot at the feet of Keogh. Keogh squared to Ebanks-Blake who made no mistake from a couple of yards. Wolves lead. Fate tempted Pete.
"Considering they are top of the league it's very quiet... I don't want to tempt fate but it sounds like we've made a good start."
pmorgan_771
20.13 - I think I am young and hip enough to be able to report for those not in the loop that 'tbh' stands for 'to be honest'.
"Tbh I think its quite a good midfield, we are playing the top team in the league and still have 2 strikers up front. We look solid but capable of attacking in numbers."
hamster456
"It wasn't a disaster from their point of view - it actually appeared to be a deliberate tactic once they were ahead to delay restarts, (along with a lot of nicking the ball away etc.). I thought at one point ref actually signalled no more to their bench."
wstarcanary
20.11 - Commentator's curse almost struck again, Kightly attacked the edge of the area and slipped a ball in for Ebanks-Blake, one touch to set and a powerful shot that cannoned back off the crossbar, ball falls to Keogh who squares to Jarvis but slashes at it and goes over.
20.09 - Cort meets an Otsemobor free-kick from deep on the right but can't quite rise enough to meet it and it goes harmlessly wide for a goal-kick. Even-stevens so far 20 minutes in.
20.07 - Most clubs including Norwich have done away with the multi-ball system now as it seemed to be causing more confusion than it was worth, two balls on the pitch. Alan Gow taking a break from warming-up to have a word with his Scottish compadre Chris Iwelumo. Who remembers his miss for Scotland, against I want to say Norway but might be off base with that shout, YouTube it is a classic.
"I was at the Sheff Utd game where they tried the multi ball game that turned out to be a disaster. Lets hope the cold don't get to the ball boys heads and they can do a better job than the Sheff Utd ball boys."
panomania
20.05 - And here comes the snow as Wolves force a corner on the right. Marshall claims the corner. If you lose me, it is because snow has got in to laptop and I will have a contact electric shock, I hope laptop are built to prevent such things. Snow is mild at best.
"How come we are the only team that seems to fill our stadium every home game? Are we the best fans in the country or what?"
hamster456
20.04 - Ironic cheers from the home crowd as Wolves are awarded a free-kick. Jones' delivery is cut out by Drury.
20.03 - First shot of the match from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, on the turn but Marshall gathers on one knee with ease.
20.01 - Interesting piece of officiating from Keith Woolmer, Russell is dumped on the floor by a late Karl Henry challenge, he looks play continue and City build down the right with Croft and Otsemobor and then he calls play back for the free-kick and brings out the yellow card for the tackle.
"No Omo! Nice one, LQ. If only we hadn't lost our Daz to the Yanks - I'll get my coat."
jigs69
"Ideal chance for Rusty to reclaim that centre-midfield position from Fozzy tonight."
pmorgan_771
19.58 - There is definitely something in the air, a chill I believe, slow start from both sides, no real chances to speak of, which is why I haven't. City kept the Wolves at bay thus far.
"Dave, nothing could be as bad as that match. Definitely the worst City 'performance' I've ever experienced! It's a night match; it's been snowing; the stars are shining; there's magic in the air..."
Lisa
19.56 - Loving the awful puns guys, keep them up, it is cold up here. Wolves fans are chanting 'When the Wolves go marching in'. Is there any fans that has not adapted and adopted that chant for their club?
"Lets 'snow' them we are not afraid of the big bad Wolves."
panomania
19.53 - Welcome aboard Dave. Wolves have the multi-ball system in operation just to add to the manic-ness that is 'Your Shout', no rest for the wicked as they say.
"With apologies to Tom Jones, here's a new song for the fans to chant tonight.
"Why Why Why, no Leijer?"
I hope the game tonight is better than out last visit here, it was so bad I left at 10 past 4, 9-men, 2-0 down and not even able to pass the ball to a team mate. It's got to be better tonight, surely.
Good luck, Come on you Yellows!"
Dave
"Let's hope Carl doesn't get Cort offside to often and that Bertie stays out of allsorts of trouble on that left flank. Shall we get all the puns out of the way now?"
pmorgan_771
19.50 - We are underway, Wolves kicked off for the record, City attacking from my right to left.
19.49 - A minute's silence is perfectly observed for former Wolves midfielder Paul Birch, who passed away yesterday.
19.48 - Crude, 'high ho silver lining' plays on the PA system and they dial down the audio for the fans to chant, 'Wolverhampton'.
"Thinking about it when did Omo last feature in the squad. He won't be missed. we have showed he has no place in the squad. I would have like to see pattison start instead of rusty with that head injury he he got in the Donny match."
panomania
19.45 - The players have just emerged from the tunnel and City are sporting a black, green and black combo. Black shirts obviously to stop a clash with Wolves' familiar gold, green shorts because Wolves are wearing black shorts and then we have black socks. Marshall is all in red, Hennessey is in illuminous green.
"Keeping a clean sheet tonight would be fantastic - especially now that we're out of Omo..."
Lisa
19.43 - Just trying to access the Wolves site with limited success to clarifty that the Doctor from The Doctor and The Medics just performed on the centre of the pitch in a big long green coat. If anyone else has more success accessing their site, their is an article entitled 'Is There Doctor In The House' or words to that effect. Bizarre is the only word I just summon up to describe it, Come On!
"I've a feeling that this is going to be a good game with all the newbies trying to impress - and I include the new No2 in this!! I'm thinking that we won't be able to repeat the amazing achievement of the home game (really!), but we will give them a tough game with maybe the home crowd lifting them over for a flukey deflected goal in the last minute. NWC predicts 2-1 to the old gold. There you are - now c'mon Norwich and prove me wrong - let's beat them in their backyard and do the double!!"
hrsthenwc
19.40 - We stopped off en route to a build a snowman, that is a given.
"Oh about time too I thought you was busy building a snowman! 3-2 to city is my prediction. Are you two wrapped up warm what looks like to be a chilly game at Molineux."
panomania
19.22 - Interesting footnotes to this match, Jason Shackelll not in the 16 and neither is new signing Christophe Berra, 6ft 3in Scottish international central defender signed from Hearts. Alan Gow starts on the bench for City and Mick McCarthy spoke in the build-up about wishing him well but just not tonight, the Scot failed a medical at Molineux on a permanent move from Rangers after his loan spell at Blackpool ended.
19.20 - Three off in the Championship, two in the capital, Crystal Palace v Birmingham, QPR v Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday v Barnsley. Arsenal's fourth round FA Cup replay against Cardiff at The Emirates has also been a victim of the weather.
19.18 - Apologies for the lateness of 'Your Shout' again but we were in sight of the ground but took what seemed like an age to find the required car park, went round the same roundabout about eight times. Most frustrating but we are here now and about half an hour from kick-off at Molineux. I'm refuelling as I type so should be able to last the whole ninety gaffer.
19.15 - The ground staff have done a marvellous job making sure this game goes ahead, the side of the streets are laiden with snow, icy streets but not a inch on the pitch itself. View the Wolves website and watch the freeplayer video entitled 'Snow' to see what the state of play was at Molineux yesterday.
19.12 - Two changes from Friday's draw at Keepmoat Stadium with Doncaster Rovers. Mark Fotheringham is suspended for collecting five bookings against Southampton and Wes Hoolahan drops to the bench. In come Adam Drury and Carl Cort. Cort will partner Cureton in attack, little and large or large and little should I say and talk is Drury at left-back and Ryan Bertrand in front of him to shore up the left-flank against the likes of Michael Kightly and Matt Jarvis.
