Town's play-off chances appear to have slipped out of their own hands and into the hands of the opposition after a 1-1 draw with Wolves today. Town started the better side with Miller and Walters both creating chances very early on, Millers being blocked by Craddock and Walters sending his over the bar.

Wolves' first chance came from Ebanks-Blake whose volley went well over the bar, Andy Keogh also fired over the bar before Ebanks-Blake fired wide from six yards.

Tommy Miller also fired wide and Jon Walters fired straight at Wolves ‘keeper Hennessey, the stopper then denied Alan Quinn and Pablo Counago.

Keogh then headed over for Wolves before Craddock blocked Walters' effort.

Walters again fired over the bar early in the second half before Michael Kightly had a header blocked by Alex Bruce. Before Kightly had an effort saved by Bywater.

The homeside took the lead in the 73rd minute when Ebanks-Blake fired past Bywater after finding the lose ball. Ebanks-Blake tried to score again but his effort was blocked by Counago.

Town struggled to find a way through the Wolves defence but in the final minute Breen brought down Alan Lee and the referee awarded a free-kick which Tommy Miller curled into the goal.

Good and Unlikely point even though we needed a win. Play-offs arn't looking too good, but as long as it's still to play for I won't give up hope.

I was at this game and it was 50/50 we put up a fright but I dont think we will though while we got the chance Im behind them with it. Just need to make the side stronger and sort out away games. Good to see so many town fans there and I was only one from this site what a shame I thought so close to the end and a chance of play offs
