PLAYER RATINGS: A second half goal from Jay Bothroyd was enough for Wolves to win the points but who did we award the man of the match too?

The Player Ratings Murray 7 Edwards 6 Clapham 7 Breen 8 Craddock 7 Potter 6 Henry 7 Olofinjana 8 Ricketts 7 Johnson 7 Bothroyd 7 Subs: Davies 7 Clarke 7 Gobern 6

Murray - The big man didn't have too much to do but when called in to action he did well.

Edwards - Looked tired after his two games for Wales but didn't let the side down.

Breen - Absolutely terrific. Commanded the back four and won everything in the air. Also could have had a penalty when pushed in the back. MOTM

Craddock - Pretty solid. Enjoying his partnership with his mate Breen.

Clapham- Knows the left back position like the back of his hand and when we needed a cool head near the end he provided it.

Potter- Doesn't look overly comfortable at right wing but does a job. Had a goalscoring chance in the first half.

Olofinjana - Has been terrific this season and this was another commanding performance. Needs to hit the target more when in good positions.

Henry - Wins more tackles than anyone else on the park. Uses the ball and steadies the midfield. Terrific signing by Mick.

Ricketts- Was excellent early on and nearly scored when Davison spilt his ball around the post. Tired late on and was replaced.

Johnson - The goals seem to have dried up for JJ but he always looks a threat. A great work rate and the goals will surly come.

Bothroyd- Smashed the post with a thunderous free-kick and scored the all important goal in the second half. Faded late on and replaced.

SUBS:

Clarke (Ricketts) Caused problems from the first minute. Looked bright and fit.

Davies - (Bothroyd) - Looks really keen to impress and is full of pace. Nearly scored and was desperate to make the right impression, which he did

Gobern (Johnson) - Added more pace for the last few minutes and had little to do..
