Wolves 0 Millwall 1 - match report

Andy Keogh became the third former Wolf this season to score against his old team as Wolves' slump became a full-blown crisis.

The Ireland international, who left Wolves for Millwall for £500,000 in January, rifled home the only goal in the 78^th minute to follow Mark Davies and Adlene Guedioura to score against them in 2012-13 as Millwall extended their unbeaten run to 12 games.

Wolves, watched by just 18,174 – their lowest league crowd for over five-and-a-half years, were booed off again for the second time in four days as Stale Solbakken's side made it nine games without a win, during which they have taken just three points out of 27.

Fans chanted 'what a load of rubbish' at the final whistle.

They were dealt a further blow with Carl Ikeme was forced off with a dislocated finger in the 66^th minute to allow Dorus De Vries his first league outing since May.

And with fans now asking serious questions about whether Solbakken is the man to take the club forwards, the club looks to be in the grip of an uncertain period.

Yet again, the home side, who showed two changes with Richard Stearman and David Davis in for Kevin Foley and Tongo Doumbia, dominated possession for long spells and played well in the first half, but without creating anywhere near enough chances.

During the 97 minutes of play, Wolves' only on-target effort was from substitute Sylvan Ebanks-Blake in the 84^th minute, a close-range effort which was fumbled wide by keeper David Forde.

TV replays showed Wolves showed have won a 13^th-minute penalty for Danny Shittu's push on Kevin Doyle a couple of feet inside the area from Stephen Ward's pass, the referee instead awarding a free kick on the edge of the box.

But given Wolves have thrown away leads in six out of nine home games this season, there was no guarantee they would have hung onto it anyway.

Bjorn Sigurdarson, who was again man of the match for a bright, energetic performance, wasted a free header in the 14^th minute from a cross from Bakary Sako, who was passed fit after a thigh injury.

The same combination saw the striker also just miss connection from Sako's centre.

In between, Wood found himself clean through in a rare break only for Christopher Berra to nip in and save the danger as he prepared to shoot.

Millwall had the final chance of the half in the 33^rd minute when Adam Smith lashed into the sidenetting after Liam Feeney's shot was blocked.

Wolves were applauded off at the break again, but if fans thought that was going to be a prelude to better things ahead, they were again sadly mistaken as their side produced another second-half fadeout.

Edginess soon invaded Wolves' legs and lungs as players struggled to string passes together as already fragile confidence quickly evaporated.

Millwall took advantage, Chris Taylor driving wide from 25 yards before Feeney ballooned high and wide from similar distance in between Doyle's weak volley wide after Shittu's attempted clearance hit him.

Nadjim Abdou saw a shot charged down by Roger Johnson as the Lions tried to blast a hole in Wolves' armour.

There were ironic cheers from the long-suffering home support in the 76^th minute when Dave Edwards drove a rising effort high and wide.

But there were cheers of a different kind in the next attack when Keogh fired home a loose ball after a routine pass from on-loan Albion striker Chris Wood.

Wolves fans even chanted the name of the scorer who was booed and jeered when he wore gold and black.

The arrival of Ebanks-Blake for Richard Stearman in the 82^nd minute offered the chance of a belated cutting edge.

And the number nine forced the only on-target effort within two minutes from Sako's driven cross.

The same player scooped well over on 89 after Doyle's centre was helped back into the danger area by Sigurdarson.

And in the fifth of six minutes of time added on, Ebanks-Blake could only direct a third chance straight at keeper David Forde with a downward header from Ward's cross.

Yet again, it was too little, too late from Wolves as those fans still left booed them off.
