Wolves Vs Burnley – Match Preview

By: Toby | February 9th, 2009

Hello to you, no, don’t worry, you haven’t lost your mind, it is a Monday evening, not Friday, but I’m actually having a break this week and going on holiday. Kind of. Well I see it as a Holiday, I’m off to Cardiff with the lady friend and spending a few days down there meaning I’m having time off work, the cat’s been dropped off at the parents’ house and the phone isn’t being packed…meaning I can’t even check my emails. It may well be snowing when I get there but I’ll be damned if I don’t go and at least look at a beach and have a Mr Whippy ice cream. So you can guarantee that as soon as I step onto my train on Tuesday evening and until I get back on Saturday Wolves will probably sign a whole team on loan, Mick will resign and Kightly will get the Wolves crest tattooed on his forehead and I’ll be non the wiser.

They’ve already started doing it tonight with the news that Keogh has signed a new contract to remain at Wolves till 2011 I believe, which is fantastic. Boo that you bunch of illiterate knuckle dragging morons. Hell, if that technique is anything to go by they should have booed Mark Davies when they had the chance, maybe he’d have signed a contract instead of being a little weasel. So yes, I’ll apologise in advance if I miss anything amazing in the next few days, I’ll do a round up in due time, but feel free to keep the embers stoked in the comment box below while I’m gone!

Right then, to the game. And it’s off we go to Turf Moor to take on Burnley, who have a cracking squad and play some great football when they want to…so the perfect rebound team then. I can hear the collective groaning of Wolves fans across the globe. After that debacle of Coventry-gate last weekend what we really need is a win here, to steady the ship, and to hopefully get some points on the board before Cardiff come knocking. Luckily, as you can see with my nifty bit of picture editing (hah!), if there’s one team who’s having a worse run of things on the pitch at the moment it’s Burnley, four points in six as opposed to our mighty five. It really does once again highlight that our recent form is mid table/relegation fodder. Last weekend we were yet again helped out by teams around us not winning, but we can’t keep on doing that, we’re going to get found out soon enough. I hope it’s not this weekend.

Right then, it’d be a bit of waste of time predicting teams right now, but I’m sure our resident offside Burnley man will sort you out in that respect, I’m leaving you in good hands. So all that leaves me to do is wish you all a good week, I hope you have a cracker, and I’ll be back on Sunday with Highlights and a review!

Tarra-a-bit!
