WOLVES HAVE delayed the inevitable with a superb 2-0 victory over Carling Cup winners Middlesbrough at Molineux with Henri Camara again on the score sheet.

The game was all about delaying the inevitable and Wolves did that with a good performance against Carling Cup Winners Middlesbrough at Molineux on Saturday.

Wolves are not down mathematically but the chances of the Old Gold performing the greatest escape in History is realistically only a pipe dream, but this win holds off relegation for a week at least.

It was a performance full of courage. The players have been knocked time and time again but once more they brushed themselves down and played some nice football to see off 'Boro - they even had the luxury of missing a penalty late on.

Paul Jones was backed by the Wolves crowd from the off following Dave Jones' pleas and it worked wonders as the former Saints shot-stopper pulled off some fabulous saves. However it was Henri Camara who once again stole the headlines.

The man from Senegal showed pace, skill desire and commitment once more and rounded his performance off with a super over-head style goal

The partnership the 26 year old is making with Carl Cort was another bright spark in a game which saw Danny Mills booed every time he touched the ball for his antics at the Riverside earlier in the season.

Mark Clyde started ahead of Irwin and it was Clyde who played the long ball over to Carl Cort who powered a header past the Boro keeper to open the scoring.

Mid-Way through the second half Wolves wrapped the game up. A Naylor throw was flicked on by Cort who found the impressive Camara who turned and shot on the volley past Shwarzer from 15 yards.

The new son of Molineux Henri Camara also missed a penalty late on following a foul on Substitute Rae, but nobody was going to give a damn - the points were already in the bag.
