The Tigers suffered their first defeat of the season on a wet afternoon at Molineux. On the one hand, Wolves would have scored about 5 but for Boaz and a strong defence. On the other, we had what looked a perfectly good goal disallowed, and Elliott forced a pair of good saves late on.
I thought we had the best of the last 20 minutes too. Positively, the defence was superb. Wiseman coped very well, Myhill was immense, Coles and Delaney were awesome. The 'offside' goal looked OK to me. Ellison pressured, defender slipped, Elliott whacked across the face of goal and Barmby knocked it in. Will have to see it again, but looked OK to me.
Damien Delaney scored an own goal as Wolves beat Hull to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to a club-record 21 games. Boaz Myhill saved from Kenny Miller in the opening minute but could do nothing when Delaney deflected a cross from Ki-Hyeon Seol.
Myhill saved from Carl Cort while Hull's Nick Barmby had an equaliser ruled out for offside. Stuart Elliott then went close for Hull, as did Joleon Lescott for Wolves. Peter Taylor said after the match that "For us to be in the Championship is a really big test and I've said all along Wolves would be one of the clubs up there challenging for promotion. In the first half Wolves produced lots of good moves, but we hung in there. In the second half we looked more confident in our chances of scoring a goal. Overall, I've been quite pleased with the way we played."
