A Jay Bothroyd screamer earned Wolves all three points at Leeds United on Sunday. The win was Wolves' fourth maximum in six games.

The Player Ratings Murray 7 Edwards 7 Mulgrew 6 Breen 9 Craddock 7 Potter 7 Henry 7 Olofinjana 8 Jones 7 Johnson 8 Cort 7 Subs: Little 6 Bothroyd 8 Clarke 7

Murray - Two saved class as "top class" by Leeds boss Blackwell. Murray was guilty of flapping on two occasions but made up for it with his great saves.

Edwards - Another 7/10 performance from Edwards. One or two decent blocks late on and is a big part of the Wolves back four.

Breen - It feels like we're giving Breen MOTM in every game he plays, but he deserves it. Steady, composed and cleared off the line. Class. Man Of The Match

Craddock - Has taken to the captaincy really well and sits comfortably at the heart of the Wolves back four - the current stars of the clean sheets

Mulgrew - His first ever game for Wolves and just his 15th ever first team appearance for any club. Showed potential and did well until substituted.

Potter- His final ball let him down on too many occasions but defensively he was sound. Played out of position on the right but still looked comfortable.

Olofinjana - Another goof performance for big George. Strong, commanding and a real presence in the middle of the park.

Henry - A big thing to wear the number 8 of Paul Ince but has taken to it well. Steady, composed and works well with Olofinjana.

Jones - Tired towards the end but is currently enjoying his first ever run in the first team. Deserves to keep his place.

Johnson - Ran and ran and ran. Probably deserved a goal but blazed over once, hit the side netting and had one saved by Warner.

Cort - Was ill for the majority of last week and it showed. Looked bright and now has great competition from Bothroyd.

SUBS:

Little (Mulgrew) His first ever league appearance for Wolves. A little baptism of fire but adjusted well. Potential.

Bothroyd- (Cort) - Possible goal of the season contender. Looked strong and bright and was the match winner. Superb.

Clarke (Johnson) Played well when he came on, looked hungry and bright. Cort, Johnson, Clarke and Bothroyd gives the boss great options.
