Unwanted Town keeper Andy Marshall's loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers could be extended for a second month as second choice Wolves stopper Matt Murray is unlikely to be back until early 2004.

Marshall signed a one-month deal with the Premiership side last week but, with Murray still on crutches, an extension to his stay at Molineux now looks a distinct possibility.

This would be good news for Town desperate to make any savings they can in order to bring in loanees Alan Mahon, Shefki Kuqi and Chris Bart-Williams.

Marshall is understood to be on wages of around £15,000-a-week, a proportion of which is being paid by Wolves while he is with them.
