NIGEL MARTYN: Stalemate at Wolves is no setback as Everton’s Euro bid still on track
IT like felt two points dropped at Wolves on Saturday but a draw certainly wasn't a disaster for Everton.[LNB]We're now unbeaten in five games and we're a point closer to Aston Villa after the thrashing they suffered at Chelsea.[LNB]The Blues certainly had their chances at Molineux and a win would have made the race for Europe even more interesting.[LNB]However, Wolves are an improving side and with them fighting for survival it was always going to be difficult there.[LNB]I remember getting turned over there in my career and a draw at least ensured our momentum is maintained.[LNB]If someone had offered us four points from the two games away to Man City and Wolves we would have taken it.[LNB]We've got six games to go and there's everything to play for.[LNB]If Tottenham or Chelsea win the FA Cup then seventh place will be good enough to qualify for the Europa League. And that's a very realistic target for us now that we're only two points behind Villa.[LNB]Martin O'Neill's men are faltering and they also have an FA Cup semi-final to prepare for.[LNB]It will be interesting to see how that hammering at Chelsea dents their confidence.[LNB]They have got Bolton away this Saturday and that's not easy by any means.[LNB]The Blues' trip to Villa on April 14 is going to be massive and by the time we go there we could even be ahead of them. However, knowing the manager as I do I know he won't allow anyone to look that far ahead.[LNB]The focus will be solely on the game against West Ham at Goodison this Sunday.
