Home Park welcomes you to get very wet indeed

New season, same old game.  In the reverse fixture to lest season’s closer, Wolves started this season in much the same patchy form as they finished the last.  In grim conditions (believe me, I know, I was sitting in the front row, and have been wringing myself out for the last two days), Kightly shone, but too few others followed his lead.  The defenders seemed confused and got caught out on a few occasions, being culpable in both goals.  Still, the team showed good character and, at times, great skill to get back into the game twice.  Kightly would have won it single-handedly if he could – Plymouth had no answer to his fantastic runs – and bringing on Vokes and Iwelumo successfully changed the game, although Wolves had already been looking more threatening for a period before the changes were made.  Well done to Vokes, the 18-year old from Bournemouth who scored with almost his first touch in the Championship.  So, an average performance on a miserable day, but hints that we can at least look to the future with a smile.
