  1. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 13:02 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Jonathan Grounds heads a deep cross from Tommy Rowe out for a Wolves corner. Danny Batth, up from the back, heads the ball into the mix but Bimingham clear upfield. One minute of added time to come.

    "For all their well-chronicled troubles at St Andrew's of late, which sunk to new depths with last weekend's record 8-0 home defeat by Bournemouth, Blues are pretty decent on the road.

    "They have won nine away matches over the last 12 months - and they are certainly well in this one approaching half-time.

    "After Wolves' early dominance, Blues are now starting to create openings - and Clayton Donaldson and Koby Arthur (twice) have fired shots just off target at the South Bank end."

    Half-time approaching - can either side find a breakthrough in the derby before the interval?

  4. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:59 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Another decent spell of forward play from Birmingham, but no end product as the ball deflects wide off Andrew Shinnie for a Wolves goal kick.

    David Davis is the first man booked as the Birmingham midfielder goes in on Leon Clarke and then Lee Evans. I think it's more for persistent fouling rather than that incident itself. That brings ironic cheers from the Molineux crowd, given Davis's Wolves connections.

    As Martin O'Connor says, Birmingham certainly have bounced back well from last weekend's desperate display against Bournemouth and that horrible 8-0 home defeat. Saying that, could this performance have been any worse than that? The visitors attack again but it comes to nothing.

    "Whatever Gary Rowett has said or done in the last few days, I think he's had an impact straight away."

  8. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:53 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Quick break from Wolves earns a corner but it could have been so much more. The ball breaks for Leon Clarke and, despite having James Henry free in support, he goes himself and his shot is deflected behind. From the corner, the ball lands outside the box at the feet of Tommy Rowe, who balloons an effort well over.

  9. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:50 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    The corner is cleared easily enough by Wolves but they are unable to find Liam McAlinden, who is becoming increasingly isolated in this game, and Birmingham have possession back on half-way.

  10. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:49 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    As things stand, Wolves will be top of the Championship at full-time, a point ahead of Derby, Watford and Norwich. Blues, who win a corner off left-back Tommy Rowe, would remain in the bottom three.

    "That's two chances for Blues now but they haven't made the goalkeeper work. You've got to take your chances. It was sloppy from Wolves."

  14. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:44 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    As I say that, Clayton Donaldson squanders the best chance of the game so far. Kevin McDonald is robbed of the ball in a dangerous area and the Blues striker, under pressure from McDonald, shoots wide from 18 yards. Will the visitors regret that later on?

    We're about a quarter of the way through the West Midlands derby at Molineux and it's still goalless. Wolves have been unable to do much with the possession they've had and Birmingham, although they haven't offered a massive amount going forward, look safe enough at the back.

    "Wolves have had some possession but it's to no effect. They're not doing things quickly enough or at a smart enough tempo. It's too easy for Blues to keep Wolves out at the moment."

  17. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:41 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    David Cotterill's free-kick is only headed as far as Koby Arthur, who drives a shot from a tight angle into the side-netting.

  18. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:40 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    Wolves captain Danny Batth shepherds Birmingham striker Clayton Donaldson out of play for a goal-kick, leading to a frustrated reaction from Donaldson, who throws the ball down in disgust. He's not had much in the way of service so far. Maybe a chance for Blues here though, as Koby Arthur wins a set-piece in a dangerous area.

  19. Wolves 0-0 Birminghampublished at 12:37 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2014

    A good run from Michael Jacobs down the left wins a corner for Wolves. Darren Randolph punches James Henry's flag-kick clear and, when the ball is returned into the box, there are about seven Wolves players offside.

    "A very poorly observed minute's silence by a small minority at Molineux, to mark the forthcoming Remembrance Week.

    "Small factions in both Blues and Wolves sections of the ground fail to show due respect and are only silenced by The Last Post, played by a lone trumpeter, before shouting obscenities at each other at the conclusion of the minute.

    "But, when the game gets started, it's controlled aggression out on the park as both sides get stuck in. Wolves are looking the more dangerous early on."
