Bray Wanderers 1 Wolves 5

Stale Solbakken's first game in charge ended with the same scoreline as Mick McCarthy's last.

But the atmosphere, omens and hopes couldn't have been more different to that catastrophic 5-1 Black Country defeat to Albion in February.

However, if any conclusions can be drawn from the Norwegian's opening encounter, it's that Wolves' potency depends just as much on Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis as it did five months ago.

As we were reminded at this traditional seaside town barely a goal-kick from the shore, the havoc the pair could wreak against Championship opposition were they to stay is probably pivotal to Wolves' promotion chances.

For the record, Fletcher celebrated his first outing as captain by bagging a brace and Jarvis netted once as Wolves' second half XI ran riot with four goals at the three-sided Carlisle Grounds venue.

New signing Frank Nouble had earlier drilled a debut opener and makeshift left-back Matt Doherty scored a superb fourth Wolves goal.

Nouble opened the scoring with an angled drive after holding off a defender to latch onto Kevin Foley's clever reverse pass, before Marty Waters, who later left the pitch injured levelled after 33 minutes.

But second half goals from Kightly, Doherty and a Fletcher double rounded out a comfortable Woves win.
