Wolfie brings some festive cheer on an otherwise dismal day

Wolfie brings some festive cheer on an otherwise dismal day

I was all dressed up in my festive finery, but, frankly, the football or the atmosphere in a sold out (and freezing cold) Molineux didn’t meet my expectations.  The fact that Hennessey won Man of the Match tells you all you ne4ed to know about the game, after he pulled off a string of fine saves in the first half to keep Wolves in it.  They were better in the second half, but not good enough by half.  Jarvis perhaps showed most promise, but that’s not saying much on a day best forgotten.  Ho ho ho.

Sheffield United vs. Wolves (1:3)

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Possibly the most impressive result (if not the most dominating performance) of the season.  Wolves’ victory owed a great deal to the talents of the two front men, with Iwelumo and Ebanks-Blake taking their tallies for the season to 15 and 11 goals respectively.  After a great goal from Iwelumo, who squeezed the ball into the net from an almost impossible angle on four minutes, Wolves were, frankly, under seige.  To go two-nil down was harsh on United, so three-nil was definitely not a fair reflection of the balance of play, but was a demonstration of the superiority of Wolves’ rampant strike force and solid defence.  United’s consolation goal did nothing to dampen the spirits of the justifiably elated away supporters.  Injuries on the day to Edwards and Ikeme, and a possible broken nose for Kightly seem to be less serious than might be feared, but everyone’s thought’s will go out to Matt Murray who was stretchered off during his second loan appearance for Hereford.  I can only wish the best of luck to him, and the best of luck to Wolves, who face second place Birmingham on Saturday.  I can’t wait.
