Villa had their moments but in the end we had just that little bit more class to get us over the line. Long may it continue. If I had timed my vacation better I could have been at that game, but oh no, what do I get, Sheff Utd away on a rainy night. *******s!!

Without doubt, this was the best Wolves performance I have seen for years. Make a list of all the superlatives you can think off and they would describe the team tonight. I had concerns that the International break would have a detrimental bearing on the squad, but it was quite the opposite.

Villa came for a draw, playing five across the back and sat a long way out from their goal, which in turn initiated a patient approach from the Wanderers. Hardly a pass went astray, while the opposition became frustrated chasing shadows. This resulted in some rash challenges, one on Costa was so late it was almost tomorrow.

Neves reminds me in no small way of Peter Broadbent, Just how good is this lad going to be? Jota never stopped running and the defenders looked rock solid. Cody is a revelation this season, hitting crossfield passes with consummate ease and clearing up any sniff of danger.

A supporter a few rows behind me, was not happy, He spent the entire match screaming at the players to get rid, get it up field, and blasted Batth at every opportunity. If he was the manager we would still be watching the dross that has been on the menu for the last two seasons.

The largest crowd at Molineux since the eighties were in good voice and created a wonderful atmosphere.

Just like watching Brazil, eh?

Lets make no mistake about the dominance of this performance. Apart from a Snodgrass free kick that tapped the bar a 0-2 down Wolves battered Villa from start to finish. We out passed them, out fought them and out thought them. it was so one sided that the media coverage on Sky Sports and Channel 5 didn't have to do any editing to show Villa's limited highlights.

This is the best Wolves side I have seen since Bill McGarry's 1973/74 team, and I don't say that lightly, Villa, on the other hand are a country mile behind us, despite the recent optimism the local media have been expressing on the back of their recent triumphs over second rate stock.

I'm really looking forward to this one, Gav'. Here in Oz it's live on Bein 2 so I get a rare opportunity to see the lads perform in what should be a good game. Win this one and it'll put us at the top of the 'Champ' !!!..... COYW !!!

I'm glad Wolves put on a decent performance for those inside Molineux as well as those watching on television here and abroad. The performance yesterday was very good and i would put on a par with our victory away at Hull. Wolves defended well when needed, looked a threat and pressed in midfield and caused Villa no end of problems in attack. It's quick and easy to analyse a game as a television pundit, some would suggest in the first half both sides could have had a couple of penalties apiece. It's how the ref views each individual incident.

I did think at the half-time whistle that we could be heading for a 0-0, despite Batth, Saiss and Neves having chances to score.

The turning point of the game for me was the introduction of Bonatini for Costa at the start of the second half. Bonatini offers a good link up and it gave Jota more freedom going forward. The two goals were well taken and no more than Wolves deserved. It could have easily have been three but for the chance cleared off the line.

I don't think Villa played that bad, but they just wasn't a match for Wolves. The Snodgrass free-kick and a couple of late half chances is all they had.

A fully deserved win and Preston at Molineux next weekend.
