// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Richard Dunne has hit back at suggestions Aston Villa lacked motivation in their draw with rivals Wolves at Molineux.[LNB] The Midlands derby had failed to live up to expectations for the majority, with a lack of action before Gabriel Agbonlahor's goal was cancelled out by Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's penalty.[LNB]Having helped defeat Chelsea the week before, Dunne has sounded his disappointment at failing to collect another three points in Villa's pursuit of the top four.[LNB]However, the centre-back has rubbished implications that Villa's attitude is not sufficient when facing the supposedly lesser teams in the Premier League. [LNB]"We have to make sure every game we play is a big game for us," he said. "We have to put in the same amount of effort whoever we play. [LNB]"It's disappointing. We've beaten Chelsea and you think to make that victory worthwhile you have to come to places like this and win games - and we haven't been able to.[LNB]"Our performance was not great but we feel we are capable of playing any team and picking up point. [LNB]"People will say we're not up for it against teams like Wolves - well we are. It was just an off day."[LNB]
