It was a decent game at Molineux, with a crowd of 17,000, enjoying Wolves running away with the game at half time, 3-0, only to be pegged back by two second half goals from a recovering Colchester. At 3-2 the crowd were getting jumpy but a final strike in the 95 minute sealed the home team's pace at the top of Division 1. Highlights for me were seeing Stan Cullis' statue, like all managers of his day he was wearing a smart overcoat and brimmed hat and enjoying what seemed to be the only decent restaurant in the "city" centre, Catellani's Italian in School Street, family run and full as the home supporters moved in to fill their boots before kick off. Molineux also was an excellent experience, modern, easy to get to and in, interesting numbers on walls reminding us of the great days which hopefully might return one day.
So it was a good day BUT Wednesday, today, has been spoiled, as the press, once again, gives no coverage to Barnsley, who lounging at the bottom of the Championship, beat higher flying Reading, 3-1 away. Boo!
