Wolves correspondent Tim Nash brings you the video verdict of the 5-1 demolition of Nottingham Forest at Molineux.
Wolves 5 Forest 1
Wolves were rampant in attack as they recorded their biggest win under Mick McCarthy.
An attacking force to be reckoned with, they were 4-0 up by the break and completed a 5-1 slaughter of Forest, to continue their unbeaten League start to the season.
David Jones broke the deadlock with an excellent team goal in the 14th minute, his first for the club, before creating the second – an own goal from Forest defender Wes Morgan in the 27th minute.
The irresistible Michael Kightly lashed home to make it 3-0 two minutes before half-time and Chris Iwelumo’s fifth goal of the season made it four within a minute later.
A Richard Stearman own goal in the 54th minute was no more than a consolation for the sorry visitors.
Wolves did not take long in restoring their four goal cushion, with Kightly netting a fifth in the 62nd minute with a composed chipped finish.
The home side took their goal tally to 13 in four games – and nine in two home games. They could have had a hat full.
Kightly hit the bar, with Ebanks-Blake having an effort ruled out in an embarrassingly one-sided first half.
After the hour, the game predictably became more pedestrian. Wolves were able to give wingers Jarvis and Kightly, as well as Ebanks-Blake, a deserved early finish.
The win was Wolves’ biggest since they put six past Gillingham during their promotion season, more than five years ago,
The class of 2008 will be hoping it proves a similar omen.

TREMENDOUS !
Best 45 mins we have seen in years, total domination, it was Men V Boys, another left back and a center half and we should be set for a decent season.

Best 45 minutes in years.
Although MM’s ‘awesome’ comment over the Irish centre forwars playing as a left back when Gray or Jones could have come in still leaves you wondering for the mans sanity.

McCarthy has to go. If we cant score 10 past these, he shouldnt be in a job. Stearman - must be axed, scoring an own goal like that. Get rid of Moxey too - why didnt he get on the score sheet?
ROFL
c’mon - get in there, me babees….. we are top of the league, said we are top of the league

Great Performances - Kites MOM - BUT Stephen Ward had a superb preformance as LEFT BACK - Even with the pending new signings of Matt Hill and Shackell - S Ward should keep the shirt if he keeps playing like that!
Well done S Ward - You did the talking on the pitch!!!
UP THE WOLVES!

True it was a day to savour but top of the league in August wins nothing. Consistency is important, so is staying free of injury in key areas. And of course the more difficult sides are yet to be played. It was however a great win.
