Match Report by Scott Cooper

YES, you guessed it, another draw. Paul Ince and Glenn Hoddle had told the media prior to this game against Watford that Wolves needed to win three games on the bounce. Sadly Wolves once again fell at the first hurdle, making it 9 draws in 12 games.
Much was made and said of the poor 2-2 draw with Gillingham last week. Chief Executive Jez Moxey, who was subject of abuse by the fans a week ago was praying for a better performance than the one seven days prior. Luckily for Jez and Glenn Wolves were better than they were against Gillingham on Saturday. However it couldn't get any worse than it did against Gillingham could it? So in truth the performance was better, but it was still a county mile off what is expected.

Wolves were so incredibly uninspiring in front of goal it was unreal and the fact that the men in Gold 'kept their first clean sheet since the home game against Derby back in October is a show of just how poor the opposition were.

Once again there was no creativity, no imagination and no cutting edge - and that was just Watford. For Wolves it was a case of "same old" as Ince did his very best to drive this very ordinary looking side forward, but it was to no avail.

The fans, criticized for being negative prior to the Gillingham game were in a pretty good mood, Hoddle welcomed back Mark Kennedy to his squad and Watford hadn't won any of their last eleven visits at Molineux. Prior to the game things looked bright, but after 90 minutes of dross it's easy to see why Wolves occupy such a lowly position in The Championship.

Wolves had just four shots on target, but neither tested the Watford keeper. The less said about yet another bore draw, the better.
