Joshua Keeling agrees. He\u2019s emailed in:<\/p>\n
double quotation markHe won\u2019t get much credit, because Wolves are doomed, and they have been for months, but Rob Edwards has quietly done a decent job at Wolves. They are now competitive in most games, and if he\u2019d been there for the season, they wouldn\u2019t be safe, but they\u2019d be in \u2018two out of these four will go down\u2019 conversation with Spurs, Forest, and West Ham.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n You have to say, credit to Wolves. They are surely doomed but they showed up tonight and even if they don\u2019t survive, it\u2019s performances like that will offer hope for next season.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Full-time: Wolves 2-0 Aston Villa<\/p>\n Villa\u2019s miserable run at Molineux continues and Wolves have surpassed Derby\u2019s record low points tally, so that record lives another season. Manchester United can overtake Villa with a win this weekend.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Goal! Wolves 2-0 Aston Villa (Rodrigo Gomes 90+7 min)<\/p>\n Hit on the break! That\u2019s excellent from Man\u00e9 as he leads a three on three counter and finds the right pass. Rodrigo Gomes sees his first shot blocked but it comes back to him and this time he finds the net.<\/p>\n Rodrigo Gomes scores for Wolves! What a result. Photograph: David Klein\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.01 EST<\/p>\n 90+6 min Off the line! Cash winds up a long throw from the right and Maatsen\u2019s mis-hit shot comes to Onana. He has to score but S\u00e1 gets a hand on it and Mosquera clears off the line.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min Alysson can\u2019t keep it in play on the left and his shoulders drop. Villa haven\u2019t really threatened and that sums it up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+3 min All four Gomes are on for Wolves.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+3 min Cash is booked for a trip on Man\u00e9 as the youngster looks to break. That\u2019ll cost Villa a few more seconds. Armstrong goes off (slowly) and is replaced by Rodrigo Gomes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.51 EST<\/p>\n 90+1 min Decent Wolves break lead by Arokodare that ends in a blocked Armstrong shot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min The board goes up and it\u2019s seven minutes of added time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 89 min Tchatchoua, who has been fantastic this half, makes a great tackle on Maatsen to stop a promising attack and then wins a free-kick of his own. Angel Gomes is coming on for Andr\u00e9.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 88 min Tchatchoua get over to block another Villa cross and it comes back off Maatsen. Cheers from the home fans.<\/p>\n Alysson just can\u2019t get past Jackson Tchatchoua. Photograph: David Klein\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.52 EST<\/p>\n 85 min Maatsen drives in a low cross and Santi Bueno gets across Ambraham to block his shot. Corner, but should it have been? Last touch was off the striker. Fortunately it comes to nothing. Brazilian forward Alysson is on for Watkins. Not his night at all.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min Jo\u00e3o Gomes has really got about this half, sometimes illegally. He nips in in midfield to pinch it (legally) from Onana. The home fans like it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 81 min Someone has put a tocket up Tchatchoua. Another dart down the right results in a dangerous cross and a half-chance for Man\u00e9. Tolu Arokodare has come on for Bellegarde.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 79 min Somehow this has become and end-to-end contest. Villa, and perhaps more suprisingly Wolves, committing men going forward. Rogers has come to life a bit and twice creates chances with driving runs towards the byline, both times Wolves clear.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.38 EST<\/p>\n 76 min Smart save from S\u00e1 as Maatsen shoots from close range. It was a lovely reverse pass from Barkley to find his teammate in space in the box but the snapshot was straight at the Wolves keeper. That\u2019s Villa\u2019s best effort in a long time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min Bailey goes into the book for a tug on Hugo Bueno. Clever stuff from the Wolves defender to get in front of the winger and draw the foul.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 min Wolves defenders are standing up to this task, they\u2019re chucking themselves in front of crosses and shots. A long way to go yet.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 min Two-minute stoppage for a new headset and we\u2019re back underway.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 69 min The ref has disappeared to get a headset change. Not sure who\u2019s on tech support for the PGMO, but they\u2019re having a tough week after the shenanigans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Sunday. Two more Villa changes, Ian Maatsen is on for Digne and Tammy Abraham has replaced Buendia.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min Mosquera\u2019s long throw causes panic in the Villa box but the threat passes when an over-eager Mosquera shoots against his own player.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 min Did Mart\u00ednez take the ball out of his area there? Man\u00e9 chases down a long ball over the top and the Villa keeper slides out to collect and nearly handles it outside of the box. That was close. The volume has gone up at Molineux.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Goal! Wolves 1-0 Aston Villa (Jo\u00e3o Gomes 61)<\/p>\n A breakthrough! Jo\u00e3o Gomes feeds the ball out to Tchatchoua, who continues down the right and sweeps over a low cross. It bobbles back to Jo\u00e3o Gomes who keeps his composure and beats Mart\u00ednez with a shot high into the net.<\/p>\n Joao Gomes scores for Wolves! Photograph: Darren Staples\/AFP\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.22 EST<\/p>\n 60 min Couple of changes for Villa, Leon Bailey is on for Sancho and Ross Barkley replaces Douglas Luiz.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 59 min Cheap corner earned by Villa and Onana is found by Douglas Luiz, but the big man can\u2019t get over the ball and his header goes harmlessly over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 57 min Nice turn and run from Onana to surge through midfield before he\u2019s tugged down by Bellegarde. Yellow for the Wolves man.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 56 min Tchatchoua shows off some his rarely seen but electric pace and stands up a cross that Cash heads clear. The Molineux faithful like that.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 54 min Wolves enjoying a bit of attacking momentum and Buendia brings it to a halt. He\u2019s booked now. That must be a totting up offence as it wasn\u2019t a malicious coming together with Bellegarde.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 min Poor defensive header from Villa there and again it\u2019s Toti who gets the chance to shoot. Another poor contact from the edge of the box but this time it nearly comes to Bellegarde.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 50 min Sadly, the tepid tempo hasn\u2019t really changed since the break. Ah, Buendia on the deck again. This time it\u2019s Armstrong who has caught him late and for that offence he goes into the book.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 min Wolves can\u2019t get out at the moment, Villa are pressing high and the home side can\u2019t unpick the lock at the moment. Cash sends over a deep cross to no one. Buendia, who might have been the intended target, is on the floor for some reason.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Peeeeeeep!<\/p>\n Villa get us back underway. Goals please!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Another optimistic Wolves fan, Eanna Mac Craith, has emailed in:<\/p>\n double quotation markNot a great game, but if we can at least equal Derby\u2019s points record and derail Villa then it\u2019s all good. Season has been awful, so any tiny crumb of comfort we will take!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Couple of EFL games also going on this evening. In the Championship it\u2019s 1-1 between Bristol City and Watford at Ashton Gate. In League Two, home-team Harrogate have just equalised against Cheltenham. A point would mean the Sulphurites (what a nickname) will remain in the bottom two, as it stands.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half-time: Wolves 0-0 Aston Villa<\/p>\n If I knew nothing about this season and you told me one of these teams was third and the other was bottom I wouldn\u2019t believe you. That half was mid-table fodder at best. Boos at the break.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 43 min Bold prediction, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to get a goal before half-time. Since the Douglas Luiz chance we\u2019ve had very little in the way of goulmouth action.<\/p>\n
