With me in attendance, this patchy – sometimes inspired, sometimes dismal – Wolves team managed to hit a poor patch.  This was far from a good performance, and although Colchester’s second from Chris Iwelumo on the stroke of half time came from a clear handball, Wolves were still justifiably beaten by a competent team backed by confident home support (as they should be, racking up their 11th straight home win with this game).

While the ironic chants of ‘We’ve had a shot on goal’ which greeted Davies’s 70th minute strike may have been slightly unfair (it was probably our second shot of the game, after all), this was not one to look back on with joy.  Neil Collins’s consolation goal in injury time offered little consolation.  With a strange sense of deja vu, I have to say that, just as last year, our main problem is scoring goals.  Lot’s hope activity in the transfer window is more fruitful than last time around.
