To give credit where it's due (and speaking as someone who's had real doubts about Toti in the past), I have to admit that both he and Djiga played yesterday like men possessed, launching themselves into tackles and winning just about every aerial duel on the halfway line. Both of them dominated their opposing players who are unlikely to take such a battering for the rest of the season, and across the park Wolves won more 50/50 battles in one game than I've seen from them in ages.
I also had a few reservations about the appointment of Peixoto (wounded so many times by past experience) but I'm liking this guy more and more with every passing week. It's so refreshing to see a Wolves team playing with passion and looking to get forward in numbers. The press is so well organised and yesterday wasn't the first time it's led to a goal or, at worst, put us right on the front foot. This squad seems to be responding so positively to whatever Peixoto asks of them and even though there's a long way to go till the end of the season, I can't help getting excited about the possibilities. A quick shout out for the fans too. they were magnificent yesterday and the songs for Ruben and Raul brought a lump to the throat. Hail Cesar.

Unfortunately i work with a few WBA fans but to be fair they were humble in defeat. Djiga and Toti got mentioned as like you said they won everything in the air. That was good tactics because we pressed to stop them from playing out which resulted in them going for the long ball which we won every time.
It was great to see them both just throwing themselves at those 50/50 duals. WBA just didn't know what to do and i think quality and bravery was not there for them.
