Wolves 2 vs. Southampton 2
The fact that our defense could allow a goal like that in the last minute after they had scrapped all game and after the two wonderful goals from Ebanks-Blake, is well unfair.
Unfair to themselves, but in the cruel world of football if you switch off mentally for one second you will pay for it.
Sadly that one second shut off for seconds in the dying minutes turned a meaningful almost-win into an unjust-draw.
Credit to Southampton because in some senses they deserved a point for not giving up, but, man that was our game in our hands and they beat us.
The sad fact that we haven't beaten them at home for over THIRTY years running now, is beginning to look like the rest of this sad season, pathetic reminders of mediocrity.
The next 5 games are as follows:
Tues 3/11/08 Preston NE v Wolves
Sat 3/15/08 Burnley v Wolves
Tues 3/18/08 Wolves v Scunthorpe
Sat 3/22/08 Wolves v QPR
Sat 3/29/08 Charlton v Wolves
Thats three away games and two home games with two Premiership contenders, well almost three if you count QPR and Scunthorpe (the banana peel) and Preston away who is scrapping for their lives.
We are in the defining stretch and what happens during these five games will give us a clue about the guts and will to represent their club at every available opportunity. Hopefully those that love this club and want to see it do well will come out and step on the pitch and give everything they have, and if so we should be up there.
Who wants to get promoted? Nobody apparently with Stoke again stumbling as well as Watford not looking like Premiership class, we might just be able to put a run together and be up there in the end with a shout.
and......
Newcastle slips farther into the mist fading like all the color out of King Kev's face recently. Ha.
