It’s hard to know what to say. I certainly can’t keep commending Wolves on their endeavour and rail at the fates who denied them their victory. Granted, having conceded three penalties in the previous two games, Wolves were denied a couple of very good shouts of their own- first for a clear handball from a Kightly cross and second for a blatant shove on Doyle. However, the stats that count are that Wolves allowed their opponents a free header in the box and failed to find the back of the net themselves.

The optimist in me still says that these performances will bring their reward, but Portsmouth came to Molineux without a point in seven games and for them to go away with three is bitterly disappointing.
