TWO NIL!!!

By Ivybridge Wolf

In a season of gloom, what a treat Friday night was for Wolves fans, it’s really is always great to beat the Villa. And deserved! Wolves rode their luck a little, however they out fought Villa in desire and determination in all areas, leaving the Lions mortally wounded with the late Rodrigo goal, sealing the deal after a fine goal from Joao! Terrific! Today, Liverpool are up against Wolves at Molineux for the first time this week (they are here again in the cup on Friday) after a 5-2 home victory over West Ham on Saturday, the Reds just getting going with three wins in a row. Wolves, once again, will be massive underdogs with Liverpool at odds of 1/2 for the away win. It has been quoted before, however remember Wolves and the Steve Mardenborough winner in 83/84 …. it can happen!  

Apparently, Wolves have a fully fit squad, Toti returned in the Villa match which was a positive performance and tonight Hwang is back from his calf strain – likely to start on the bench should he feature. The starting line up won’t be much different to how things were at the kick off versus Villa, so many deserve their opportunity to play again tonight. Joao (wonderful), Andre, Armstrong, the Bueno’s, Toti, Sa, Mosquera all played well, even Tchatchoua got stuck in in the second half when he realised (or was told) that his pace had Villa worried. Is he becoming a bit of a Mohammed Camera type of player for Wolves …. Great ball in for Joao’s goal. A word on Mosquera, who seems to divide opinion Mosquera is definitely an irritation to our rivals … and possibly us on occasions! Personally, I think he has moments of total liability as a defender and I’m very unimpressed with his constant dying swan act every time he gets tackled, conversely he travels well with the ball, even gets into excellent advanced positions and he is a constant pain in the neck for the opposition wherever he is on the pitch.

The three points gained last week means we are now on 13 points, a paltry total though with significance as Wolves have now overtaken Derby’s awful 2007/08 season when their gained just 11 points. Looking upwards, with just nine league matches to go, here are the next targets under 20 points, note the Villa total of 15/16.

Derby                  2007/08 11 points

Southampton       2024/25 12

Sunderland          2005/06 15

Sheff United        2023/24 16

Huddersfield        2018/19 16

Villa                   2015/16 17

Pompey              2009/10 19 (deducted 9)

Sunderland         2002/03 19

Good luck to the lads tonight, against the odds, all Wolves supporters will be hoping for some kind of repeat of the last performance, though surely, we will be facing a tougher and better side tonight.

Whilst I am unavailable this evening, I’m off the see Exeter City v Burton Albion, please leave your thoughts and comments about the match in the thread below.

The result against Villa was well earned so let's see the same commitment tonight.

Wow didn't see the last 15 minutes finishing like that.
We hadn't even had a shot after 75 minutes.
Fantastic win, we rode our luck at times but thought the defence was outstanding tonight.
Just a shame this fighting spirit has come to late, but its nice to see some positive performances at last.
Should be fun in the cup friday now.

Un-f-ing-believable. Wolves too the lead after withstanding a lot of pressure from a lackluster’pool. But when Salah gott one back on 83, I feared the worst. But hell no, Andre got his first as a hopeful late shot was deflected past goalie. Haha. 2-1 final.

Only three points behind mighty Burnley.

Played some good stuff in the first 30 mins but without getting a shot in. After that, until we scored, we were hanging on a bit but defended well. Great finish from Rodrigo and he seems to have a habit of getting a goal. Long may it continue. Diabolical pass from Bellegarde which led to their equalizer and I must admit I couldn't see us getting a second. A slice of luck about the winner for sure but no more so than Man Utd's goal against us at Old Trafford. Everyone played their part especially Sa, Santiago, Krejci and Andre but m.o.m has to be Joao Gomes. Friday's match is more important for me so hopefully the momentum continues.

Too little too late but I hate Lpool so good to dent their season. It seems pointless now though - only winning the FA cup would remotely save the season. Most of these players will be gone in the summer so the radio 5 nonsense of boding well for the championship is nonsense as it means very little.

Watched the highlights online …. What a superb goal from Rodrigo under pressure, the way he clipped that ball home was seriously impressive . Sa made an outstanding save too.

Heard the winner driving home from St James Park (Exeter 1-1 Burton) and went wild!!

Sounded like another gritty, resilient team performance again, hope it can be repeated on Friday evening ! A great night under the lights today for the fans.

UTW!
