Five goals, five games - how Wolves' play-off hopes were dashed
Wolves missed out on the Championship play-offs by just five goals.
Kenny Jackett's side carried their fight for a top-six place right to the final day and ended up with 78 points – normally more than enough for a place in the shoot-out.
Here, our Wolves man Tim Nash looks at where their hopes were lost.
Rotherham away, lost 0-1
This might seem a strange place to start, given that it was their first away game of the season.
But Wolves lost a game they controlled and dominated through a freak Ryan Hall goal when his shot looped up off Dave Edwards and dropped in the net.
Bakary Sako was twice thwarted by keeper Adam Collin and Rajiv van La Parra had a shot cleared off the line. James Henry, right, went close.
After the break Sako fired wide and Matt Doherty shot over.
Millwall away, drew 3-3
It was never a 3-0 game but nevertheless Wolves found themselves three goals to the good only to concede three times.
Danny Batth, Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Bakary Sako all scored for the visitors.
Poor defending allowed Lee Gregory to net what appeared to be a consolation.
Then the arrival of veteran striker Ricardo Fuller, left, signalled trouble and the former Stoke frontman bagged two classy efforts in six minutes.
Bournemouth home, lost 1-2
The game that saw chairman Steve Morgan, right, angrily confront referee Mike Jones after Rajiv van La Parra was sent off.
Loan striker Danny Graham's header gave Wolves a half-time lead.
But Van La Parra's 59th-minute dismissal transformed the game. Harry Arter levelled, then Matt Ritchie blasted home from 15 yards before Matt Doherty was sent off too.
Birmingham away, lost 1-2
Benik Afobe gave Wolves the perfect start when he converted after brilliant work by Nouha Dicko after 21 minutes.
But their lead lasted just four minutes when Rob Kiernan bundled home the equaliser.
And Scott Golbourne, left, was at fault as he failed to clear his lines, allowing Demarai Gray to score the winner after running 90 yards.
The result in a flat display ended Wolves' four-game winning run and dropped Kenny Jackett's side out of the Championship top six and down to eighth on goal difference.
Middlesbrough away, lost 1-2
Without a win in Middlesbrough in 22 visits going back to 1951, few expected the run to end.
Wolves trailed 2-0 after Jelle Vossen and Patrick Bamford, right, struck in the first 11 minutes.
But Wolves hit back through Bakary Sako and Rajiv van La Parra hit the woodwork.
