Wolves boss Gary O’Neil didn’t seek excuses after defeat at Sheffield United.
Wolves lost 2-1 after an injury-time winner via the spot converted by Ollie Norwood.
O’Neil said, “First half I think we should have been clear really. We created some big chances and didn’t take them. A couple of strange decisions in front of goal – we had a clear look at the goalkeeper three or four times, which should be enough to go in at least 2-0 up and it looks very different. We didn’t take our chances.
“They were forced into the change with the injury and the second half looked different and we didn’t get to grips with it, which is disappointing because there was opportunities still there for us and we didn’t manage to find them. My job is to improve that with the lads, understanding the difference between the first and second half.”
He also said, “The talk to the lads after the game was about us second half not responding and making bad decisions with the ball. Sheff United had come slightly more aggressive second half and we didn’t make good decisions. Even towards the end we had a foul throw during injury time, so we created some of our own problems in that second half. We worked hard to get ourselves back in it and a terrible referee decision has cost us more points.
“The first goal ricocheted, but we created that by the way we went about the second half. Improvement needed and we need to be more clinical. Disappointed with us second half and we need to be better because we can’t let these mad decisions, things that go against us, cost us. We should have took our chances in the first half and been better in the second, so any crazy decisions doesn’t cost us.”
