'A stay of execution - but for how long?'

That was a huge result, one that we so desperately needed.

Beating Wolves surely means Julen Lopetegui keeps his job for a little longer. It is a stay of execution for the Spaniard, but for how long?

While three points are three points, it was not a convincing performance to suggest a corner has been turned by this West Ham team. The players do look a lot more sure of themselves tactically than they did a month ago, but my fear is all this win does is kick the can down the road.

We had our moments, especially in the first half, but for the second game running we appeared to run out of ideas the moment we entered the final third. Loads of shots, loads of corners, but not much in the way of confidence or conviction in front of goal.

Meanwhile, Wolves regularly found themselves with loads of space on the counter-attack. Had their finishing been better, it would have been a very different story at London Stadium.

And Wolves have every right to be angry not to have been awarded at least one penalty by VAR. In truth, they should have had two.

But despite now having a nice nine-point gap from the bottom three, I am still not convinced we have got it in us to put together a run of results that would take us out of conversations involving relegation and into conversations surrounding a top-half finish.

There are too many aspects of our play that still aren't perfect - and better teams would have punished us at key moments in Monday's game.

But we have to be delighted with this win and can now look forward to travelling to Bournemouth next week.
