Winnall, Batth thrilled with Wolves debuts

Sam Winnall and Danny Batth were delighted with their Wolves debuts in the Carling Cup win over Southend United.

Striker Winnall, from Bradmore, Wolverhampton, won the penalty scored by Nenad Milijas to put Wolves ahead in last night's 2-1 Carling Cup win over Southend and went close to scoring with a volley.

Fellow 19-year-old academy graduate Batth, a 6ft 3ins centre-back from Brierley Hill, was only shaded for man of the match by Ronald Zubar, who made a strong comeback from injury.

Winnall said: "I'm hungry for more and while I know there's a long way to go, I hope to get a chance in a Premier League game at some stage.

"I've got to keep working hard in training and keep focused.

"This is a start and I've got to keep getting better."

Batth said: "Hopefully it's the first of many games here- I just hope I've made the right impression and we'll see where it takes me.

"I felt quite comfortable and I feel I can step up to that level and hold my own.

"If I can give the gaffer a selection problem, then great. I've just got to be ready."
