Wolves dominated much of this competitive friendly(ed: must have been at a different match - MK clearly dominated the second half as Milijas tired) with Milton Keynes Dons but they failed to convert any of the numerous chances they created and lost out to a first-half goal from former Molineux youth graduate Jermaine Easter. There were some other familiar faces in the Milton Keynes side with Stephen Gleeson and Jemal Johnson both starting the game with Easter, whilst Lewis Gobern was named as a substitute. The Dons are managed by former Molineux favourite Paul Ince and Alex Rae is now first team coach with the League One team. There was an early chance for Jerome Thomas to make his mark. The former Charlton and Portsmouth winger, who is having a trial with Wolves, blazed a shot over the bar after Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had pulled the ball back to him with just 90 seconds gone. Ebanks-Blake was too high with a first time effort from 25-yards and then the striker forced a diving save from Willy Gueret after a quick fire move involving George Elokobi and Sam Vokes. A long-range free-kick from Nenad Milijas hit the wall and bounced behind for a corner that was taken by the Serb with Gueret punching the ball away from the head of Vokes. Richard Stearman made a timely tackle as Easter threatened to burst through before Thomas went off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury to be replaced by Stephen Ward. The Irishman was soon involved providing a cross that Elliott Bennett knocked back to Ebanks-Blake whose shot drew a fine save from Gueret. The French keeper then saved an overhead kick from Vokes after a Milijaš corner and his upfield punt led to the Dons taking the lead in the 39th minute. Stearman slipped as he attempted to clear leaving Easter to run on and beat Wayne Hennessey with an angled shot. A mix up between Ugo Ehiogu and Dean Lewington gave Ebanks-Blake a chance but his stabbed shot from a tight angle went across the face of goal. In stoppage time Vokes hooked the ball over the bar after Milijaš had fired in a free-kick from wide on the left. Half-Time: MK Dons 1 Wolves 0 Ebanks-Blake beat the home offside trap nine minutes into the second-half. He took the ball past Gueret but was forced wide by the keeper and his low cross was hacked clear by a defender. Matt Jarvis, an interval substitute for Bennett, delivered a cross from the right that Ebanks-Blake controlled before shooting narrowly over the angle. After both sides made a host of changes, Milton Keynes went close to a second as Easter headed Gobern's cross goalwards but Carl Ikeme was quickly off his line to claim. From Greg Halford's corner Ward flicked the ball back but Andy Keogh couldn't direct his header towards goal. Then Christophe Berra nodded Jarvis's corner into the heart of the area and Phil Ifill almost headed into his own goal as he turned the ball behind. It was all Wolves in the closing stages but the Molineux men couldn't find the equaliser they deserved. With the last kick of the match Dave Edwards hooked the ball high and wide.

With ex-Wolves Paul Ince and Alex Rae as the management team former trainees Jermaine Easter, Stephen Gleeson and Lewis Gobern plus one of Mick’s first recruits to Molineux Jemal Johnson this was always going to be an interesting match. With Nenad Milijas controlling the midfield we made loads of chances in the first half. Sammy Vokes was powerful and put in a huge shift while new signing Ronald Zubar looked very effective at centre back alongside cool Stears. But, too many missed chances left us open to a fast raid and Jermaine Easter too advantage to slot from a wide angle past Wayne - almost the first time he’d touched the ball. Greg Halford looked very impressive, especially with his corners. The second half “team” were pretty awful as Mick experimented with 4-5-1. And when that one is Andy Keogh it got pretty dire. If he’s the lone striker we’ve no chance in the Prem. Let’s hope that’s the last we see of if... mind you, it worked against ManU for Kenny Miller.
