Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 Leyton Orient 1: match report Thus in the end all were happy. Slade... Wolverhampton... Merry Christmas, Everybody's Having Fun.... "It's my first time with such a big crowd like that and it's a great feeling," said Wolves manager Kenny Jackett, who took over in the summer. I'm just frustrated we couldn't send everybody home happy with a win. That seemed assured when Wolves took the lead, Kevin McDonald teeing up the promising Ebanks-Landell for a fierce shot from 20 yards. Molineux had sung their "Hi ho Wolverhampton" with the gusto of their Premier League days before kick-off and now the support threatened to raise the roof. Orient knees knocked. Yes, there may well have been a bit of that going on. The game could have been beyond us," admitted manager Slade later. With Bakary Sako tormenting Orient on the left flank and Michael Jacobs a real livewire playing off striker Jake Cassidy, more goals seemed certain. Jacobs found himself clear but could not beat Jake Larkins from an acute angle before Orient's second-string goalkeeper spilt a shot from the same player, Cassidy wastefully turning the rebound wide. The centre-forward then headed James Henry's cross just wide. It seemed it would be more of the same in the second half when McDonald raced clear early on and had just Larkins to beat but the 21-year-old turned the ball round a post. It was the turning point. "He's just a kid on a few hundred quid a week but that was a really important save," said Slade. I told the players just to stay in the game because the longer it went on at just 1-0, the crowd might turn and I thought we would have a chance. As it was, plucky, patched-up Orient soon got their chance, a result of gradually keeping the ball better and so interrupting the Wolves momentum. Full-back Moses Odubajo made good ground down the right and sent a low penetrating cross into the six-yard area that Wolves failed to clear and centre-back Baudry, making a rare run forward, arrived to turn home at the far post. As the Wolves storm gradually blew itself out, Orient might even have made off with all three points, substitute Yohann Lasimant driving just over the bar. "I'm very proud of my team," said Slade, who has worked wonders in east London and whose side continue to defy those who doubted if they could sustain a splendid start to the season with limited squad and funds. We've had momentum all year and now we need to carry it forward. Jackett, meanwhile, has a different issue to address as he attempts to instill in the inheritors of the Old Gold the need to perform in less inspiring surroundings than Molineux. "It was a heck of a performance but we have to play with that intensity and work rate every week," he said. It is one thing to do it in front of 28,000 people. Now we have to replicate that as a group at Tranmere and Gillingham in our next games.
