Wigan leapfrogged them for all of 3 minutes.
Wolves concede a winning position again - 10 minutes to get the lead back (and try to get out of the bottom 3).
Johnson had been on the pitch for 18 seconds when he scored.
To be fair, Wolves didn't deserve to win. It looked increasingly likely fulham would score throughout the match. Wolves should be quite happy with the point imo. They're badly missing Doyler
Just a reminder of the run in.

I have put the opposition point in bold, 2 teams are safe 1 is right in it and another is virtually safe (Birmingham) but will want points next week. They also lost 5-0 today.
You forgot the Stoke game, which is on at 7.45pm tonight. I think 7 points from their last 5 might do it. They've managed 5 points in their last 5 games against much stronger opposition, so you never know. Their run in is as good as it gets anyway — 5 games against 5 teams of a similar standard.Quote:

And assumed it was correct, anyway thanks for pointing that out.
Looks like a tough match for Wolves, a win for Stoke puts them safe for sure maybe a draw would suit both, Stoke definite won't want to lose (obviously).
Anyway, thanks for reminding me, I might see if I can find a stream, apparently Stephen Hunt
has recovered from injury and is available for selection.
Some match facts
Head-to-head
• Stoke have only won one of their last six home matches against Wolves, a 2-1 Championship victory in August 2004.
Stoke
• Stoke have only taken six points from their last eight games.
• They have not lost a league match in which they opened the scoring (W8, D4).
• The Potters have the worst first-half record in the division: they have led at the interval in only four of their 33 matches.
Wolves
• They have the worst away record in the top flight, accruing only two wins and eight points.
• Mick McCarthy's side have lost 18 league matches - the equal-most in the division with Blackpool.
• Kevin Foley could make his 150th start for Wolves

More Irish in the Stoke side incidentally.
Wilson Whelan Pennant Delap Walters
2:0 down at HT could have been more, can't see Wolves getting back into this one.
Pennant assist for first I think he should throw on Hunt asap someone has to make
an impact and the 11 wolves on the pitch have failed to do so.
Look at Hunty getting into it with Huth and Shawcross, reminds me a bit of this pic

ya awful bad tonight.you can buy a decent defense if you Wang.no excuse Mick is too short sighted or too ignorant - not in the thick sense - to make the purchase.it was the one thing that really annoyed me about him when managing Ireland
You can't buy a defence in international football Paul :pQuote:

Wang? Paul, I can understand a misspelling and you did get close enough to the "t" on the keyboard, but why go to all the bother of capatalising the word?
I saw a fair bit of the game Stoke were always the stronger side Wolves created very little, mind you two of Stokes
goals were deflected but then they were the one pressurising the goal. Stoke look like they really wanted the result
and were pressing all the time, Wolves struggled to go forward, maybe they think there are easier points to be had on
the run in, and rightly so. Pennant was impressive
mobile, this is annoying, sometimes it shows as mobile other times it doesn't.Quote:

Sorry, Wangbley.

edit - 1-1 now but Birmingham down to 10 men
It is going to be a close call between Wolves and Wigan for the 17/18th spot
looking at that pic made me think of thisQuote:

The difference is Hunty still had Mick in his corner at that point
Last game against Blackburn may well be the decider. Wolves to concede a last minute equaliser?
Hamill included in a 40 man England Under 21 squad...

West Brom in bits at the back, surely Wolves can't blow this game :rolleyes:

Hope they can hold on for the win.
3-0 now with Foley getting the assist!
That was never a penalty!
90% awful defense blunder - 10% Foley assistQuote:

The crowd are struggling to make more noise than their jangling nerves.
Only Wolves and Ireland can be 2 goals ahead with 10 minutes left and look like throwing the game away!!!
Smoke bomb goes off in the crowd
Co-commentator quips 'that's just Mick fuming'.
Hunt looked very good in that game. Very sharp and energetic. Towards the end his man went by him but he managed to make up 15 or 20 yards to go and win it back. Great to see.
Ward almost scored goal of the season. Great flick over the defender. Mom for me was between Hunt, Fletcher and Hennessy.
Delighted for Wolves, massive result which they needed to win. In their hands now and have a great chance of surviving.
Didnt see the game but great to hear the good reports of Hunty.
They were well worth the win. Mick seriously needs to get a psychologist in. Watching that was like watching us in the good ol days.Quote:

They now have Sunderland (A) Blackburn (H).
Blackpool have Bolton (H) Man U (A)
Wigan have West Ham (H) Stoke (A)
West Ham have Wigan (A) Sunderland (H)
Birmingham have Fulham (H) Tottenham (A)
Blackburn have Man U (H) Wolves (A),
15 Blackburn___ 36 -14 39
16 Birmingham__36 -18 39
17 Wolves ____ 36 -21 37
18 Blackpool ___ 36 -22 36
19 Wigan______ 36 -23 36
20 West Ham___36 -23 33
Sunderland are safe now so will perhaps take the foot off the gas. Blackburn probably won't be safe and probably have better players, but Wolves should be favourites at home. Defoe's goal yesterday looking like it will be hugely important.
Wigan could get quite conceivably get four points from their last two games, so I am anticipating 40 points will be needed to stay up.
From MOTD highlights tonight, S Ward also looked to have a very strong game for Wolves.
