Wolves 3 QPR 3
Andy Keogh grabbed a dramatic 95th minute equaliser to give Wolves a much deserved point against QPR at Molineux.
Mick McCarthy’s side had served up one of their brightest home performances of the year so far but looked to be heading for defeat when Mikele Leigertwood fired Rangers into a 3-2 lead with 11 minutes remaining.
But Wolves never gave up the fight and in the fifth minute of added time a tremendous flurry of pressure on the Rangers goal finished with Keogh sliding home the equaliser from a narrow angle.
It was a pulsating finish to a thrilling match which had seen Rangers rock Wolves back on their heels in the 28th minute when Akos Buzsaky fired a terrific first goal past Wayne Hennessey.
Wolves finished the first half on the front foot and with Andy Keogh heading them level from a cross by the in-form Michael Gray.
But, before the second half had really got started, the first of two controversial penalty awards by referee Clive Oliver saw Rangers back in front from the spot via striker Dexter Blackstock.
When Matt Jarvis was then tripped in the area by Michael Mancienne in the 65th minute, Ebanks-Blake’s seventh goal for Wolves set up a pulsating finish.
But Camp produced two mighty saves to deny Karl Henry and then Jarvis and give Rangers the chance to deliver their killer blow.
In the race for a place in the play-offs, the significance of the comeback will not be known for a while but at least McCarthy and his side can take heart from a revved up display that kept Molineux on its feet.
There are clear signs that one of their key players Seyi Olofinjana has at last found his form after producing a man of the match performance in midfield while Ebanks-Blake remains a handful.
The draw leaves Wolves in ninth place but just a point outside the play-offs.

Rubbish, with 7 games left and at least 5 teams that will whallop us as they are way better.

I suppose that we have to keep up the farce that we will reach the playoffs until it’s mathematically impossible.
The normal suspects will be on the board, yelling that if we all keep faith, and sing and chant louder, and believe in Mick then we will make it. If the team fails it’s all down to us non-believers!
The season has been over for over a month now. A team that is so frail at the back, so slow in the middle and has the worst scoring rate in the Championships is not going to get promoted.
To me the point of interest is what comes next, and guess what?
OUT OF DARKNESS COMETH PAUL INCE!

There was little to take away from that game, other than the fact the team showed some fight. Thankfully there is still a bit of Wolf heritage in there. But not what we oldies expect from a Wolves team.
It is obvious that we have to have a serious manager take over very quickly. This silly-billy management approach should not be allowed to continue any longer!
Other countries have managers that are a magnitude of quality greater than the hill-billy approach used by McCarthy. He is now long past his sell-by date!
McCarthy OUT! Anybody else IN!

Great game, good performances in difficult conditions.
Apart from the Ref a few mistakes cost us today as we deserved the points.
Keep the faith and you never know we could get a playoff spot.

And McCarthy blaming fans for wanting Eastwood on. What a joke he is. Keogh is a cool guy, and he needs to play, but so does Eastwood. Drop Gray, or Henry IMO.

great match shame we hadn’t got more of that for the whole season but onwards and upwards !

Lets face it guys, were destined to just miss out on the playoffs!
We have seen it all before, the math means we can do it right up till the last game but win a couple draw a couple loose a couple just does not get you there this close to the end.
Should Mick go? who would replace him?
A Wanderer till the end Wandering what will happen next season.

Well done Wolves,but we can’t let three goals in and expect to win. The defence has been poor all season and really should have been sorted out earlier. Just imagine what Man.u. L.pool, or Chealsea would do to us.
At the inquest at the end of another failed season, it should be brought to light that it was known that we had an ageing defence and required attention, but was completly ignored for the purchase of yet more forwards.

CONGRATULATIONS to the players, a great game to watch. Skill, endeavour and most of all DESIRE was evident throughout the game. Yes AK did get booed when he missed a sitter, but i class that as frustration from the fans, and the response of chanting his name was just as good because i think the two things made AK more determined and it proved his worth. All round the team did really well, so lets learn from this game and although the rest of the season has been poor in quality of football, us fans have been frustrated because we know what has been lacking and it was evident in this game. So more of the same and what will be will be.WEEL DONE lads keep it up for the rest of the season.

A better performance but without Breen,no sign of a clean sheet which is required.

You should be proud of your team the way they fought back yesterday.

A good point after all said and done. QPR were lucky but bad finishing cost us again. Apparently Mck said the ‘boo boys’ were out but others shouted Keogh and he responded. I was tucked up in the ‘gods’ so o didn’t hear anything but if this was correct then clearly we all know what to do in the future. Give the lads encouragement and they’ll rerspond
The team are nervous playing in front of us. So many dumb mistakes were made as players seemed to try ‘too hard’. But at the end of the day they keptt on trying hard and desrerved the applause they got at the end,
So to all ‘boo boys’…..YOU DAMAGE THE TEAM. To those fans that helped Keogh…….youdid the team proud.

Ha ha, Wolves season is just about over now, games running out, what a terrible performance. If you play like that against the baggies, you will get hammered! Oh we can go top again if we win our games in hand. Going up in style the Tony Mowbray way. I think we will seal automatic when we beat you at the custard bowl, we are the greatest

Big Wolf: Good pass but not much else.
Do you think we can get Freddie to play behind the front two, he passes well and will be able to trouble the keeper if a gap appears in front of him. He still needs to put more into his game and look around now and then.

We ain’t going to make the playoffs dude. Just hit reality, look how many teams ABOVE us are better. Ok, done that, now choose just ONE (not counting the top two finishing ones) and it isn’t going to be wolves going anywhere..
Maybe holidays in Spain for the squad this year instead of Ireland.

Please don’t knock the Albion fans for coming on to this site – they clearly think they have something to crow about. They have played 13 league games in 2008 and have won 4 of them. Wow thats great form.
Wolves have won 6 in the same period.
This clearly adds to the theory that Albion are the best team in the division – or so some people would have us believe!!

#45, to save me looking at the standings, where are WBA in relation to us? do they have any games in hand? muppet

Funny how the albion fans have recently started to get chatty on this site. Could they be slightly worried about their promotion challenge perhaps???
