Right Place At Right Time
Wolves' matchwinner Andy Keogh was in the right place at the right time to clinch last night's win against
Just as he was when asked to step into the breach at dramatically late notice against Charlton on Saturday.
There were just ten minutes to go before kick off at The Valley when Andy was told he would be starting up front after Chris Iwelumo was deemed unfit to play.
And that ensured the Irishman had gone through the whole gamut of emotions having probably thought the day before the game he would be starting after Chris missed training.
Eventually play he did, and produced an influential display winning the penalty that started Wolves comeback as well as having a key role in the second goal.
Then last night it was left wing duties after injury to Matt Jarvis, but that didn't stop the striker drifting inside to head home his first goal of the season after Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's shot was saved.
"I know I've talked about Neill Collins and Stephen Ward as being the fabric of the club for being happy to play in different positions but what about Andy Keogh as well," says boss Mick McCarthy.
"He joined in training up front on Friday morning before the Charlton game but knew if Chris was fit he wouldn't be involved.
"So he was in, then he was out, and then ten minutes before the game he gets to know he's playing and I thought he was brilliant.
"With his attitude and demeanour about the place and how's he's been he's got the goal he deserved and I'm really pleased for him."
Last night's win made it 16 points from the first six games and a sequence of results which goes down as one of the best starts in Wolves' history.
But once again the manager insists no one can afford to get carried away.
"It's very nice to have made such a good start," he said.
"But I'm not getting carried away with 40 games still left to play.
"It's nice we are where we are and we're enjoying it but we're back in tomorrow planning for a really tough game at
"We know we are going to have to do all sorts of things to win games in this league and are going to have to scrap and scrap - it won't all be pretty football."
