WOLVES DROUGHT GOES ON
It was a story of missed chances for the visitors as Mick McCarthy watched his side complete five away league games without scoring.
But the home side will be happy with their point after another workmanlike performance as they fight for their Championship lives...
Sunday Times (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/incomingFeeds/article3056595.ece)
Until the 32nd minute, when left-back Michael Gray was needlessly pushed into the advertising boards by Gareth Ainsworth, nothing interesting happened whatsoever. Then, exuberant Rangers winger Martin Rowlands had two long-range attempts pushed wide by goal-keeper Wayne Hennessey, while Dexter Blackstock contrived to fire wide from six yards out. One example of how embarrassingly woeful Wolves were in attack came on 69 minutes when Elliott, receiving a wonderfully teasing cross from Darron Gibson, somehow sent his effort off target.
Luigi De Canio, who felt that his side should have had a second-half penalty when it appeared that Kevin Foley had pulled back Marc Nygaard, backed the appointment of Fabio Capello as the new England manager. Speaking through an interpreter, the only Italian manager in the Football League said: “He’s a great professional and will be able to make the national team succeed again.”
The result coupled with other finals leaves us at the bottom of the table again... but certainly not adrift.
