Espanyol Match Thread

I believe those are his first goals since he scored a hat trick in one of our last Europa League group games. Nice to break a long goalless streak with a bunch in one game. Hope it spurs him to a good stretch to close the season like he had last year. Expect many players to get rested in the second leg

Highlights, including another Neves special... I love the way he cocks his ear to the South Bank, cue my song

After a tentative first half Wolves turned it on in the second half and going forward looked menacing. However, in defence at times, in both halves we looked shaky. Premiership strikers would have punished us. Several times the Catalans won headers from crosses, but could not hit the target.

A four nil win looks impressive to the casual viewer, but I feel it hid the true story. The team the visitors put out was far from their strongest, their minds obviously on the relegation battle this coming weekend. While ours was just about the strongest we could put out.

Four zero should be enough to see us through to the last 16, a full strength Espanyol side would have to score five to beat us. Many will want Nuno to rest some players next Thursday, but I hope for the thousands of our fans that are going over to Barcelona, he puts out a strong team to see the job through.

Great to see Jota back on the score sheet. It's the first back to back hat trick in the Europa League since 2012. Neves scored another wordy, his 12th goal from out of the area for Wolves. A word also for Romain Saiss, he really is becoming Mr Reliable.


I fear that Norwich on Sunday will not be so easy, Boy do we really need a Premiership win.
