A well-deserved win for a Wolves side gaining confidence all the time.  In the first half Leeds looked at times exactly like a side at the bottom of the table, and their lack of ambition – time wasting from almost the first minute – was astonishing given their need for points.  But although Rob Edwards hit the post, Wolves just couldn’t get a goal in the first half despite heavy pressure.

There were good performances all round, with Potter and Kightly outstanding.  Even then, Leeds squandered a couple of fine chances themselves and with Kightly being denied a nailed-down penalty I began to worry that this might not be Wolves’s day.  But it was, and Molineux went crazy when Kightly scored from just outside the box in the 76th minute – partly out of relief that the referee had seen sense and ignored the fact that one of the Leeds fans had seen fit to throw a spare ball onto the pitch in an attempt to stop play a few seconds before.

The tempo from Leeds picked up considerably after that and Wolves allowed themselves to be under more pressure than the rest of the game suggested was warranted, but it’s the points that count and Wolves have them.  Still in eighth on goal difference, but only four points from the top, promotion is very much within reach while Wolves continue to both play well and ride their luck.  Whether the the luck will continue remains to be seen.
