Wolves have to start showing their teeth

Wolves beat Watford 1-0 but wasted 26 shots; clinical finishing must improve to avoid dropping points in the promotion race.

Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a 1-0 home win over Watford on Saturday, but the performance raised concerns about their ability to convert chances. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous attacking opportunities, Wolves managed just one goal from 26 shots, leaving the atmosphere tense in the second half.

Reporter John Bennett highlighted the team's lack of clinical finishing as a recurring problem. The issue has now extended to 10 consecutive matches without scoring more than two goals. While this didn't prove costly against an ineffective Watford side, it proved damaging last Tuesday when Wolves conceded an 86th-minute equaliser at home to Portsmouth.

With several rivals dropping points over the weekend, Wolves remain in contention in what Bennett describes as a tight promotion race. However, manager Cesar Peixoto's side must improve their finishing to avoid needlessly dropping points in matches they dominate.
