As it is on tv we may not get much interest on this page today but I will still set it up anyway. Wolves travel to Villa Park for a derby game against Aston Villa who have been boosted by the arrival of a new head coach in Steve Bruce who at one time could have succeeded Magic Merlin at Wolves. Our record against the Villa is not great as you can see below.

I watched it in a bar without any sound on so it was hard to really get into and concentrate fully on the game. However from what i saw the referee wasn't the best but you can't rely on the referee's and to blame him is a poor excuse. We dominated that 2nd half but didn't do enough when through on goal and if you take away the penalty only 1 of our 10 shots was on target and at this level that's not good enough. Maybe the referee could have gave us another penalty and/or sent one of their players off but no one can prove that would have made a difference.

I agree to a certain extent, we had the chances and opportunities to win it and should have done which can be put down to some poor finishing, some lack of composure / creativity in the final third, some good last gasp defending and definitely some bad luck. I was surprised how bad Villa in that second half, the occupants of the Holte End requiring binoculars to watch most of that half!
Whilst we should have killed it off, no doubt, the ref was so poor. One definite penalty missed, maybe two and one definite Villa sending off maybe two. Also how many times did he fail to allow the advantage ? In general Blaming the ref is the easy option, but on balance I think he influenced yesterdays result by failure to act.
we seem to get bad referees when we play villa last home match in premier league cant remember the players but a wolves player was fouled badly in the penalty area no penalty and the villa man was last man should of been sent off as you know villa won a certain robbie keane scored
