Gary O’Neil says Wolves fell under their regular requirements in opposition to Brentford however he is aware of how you can put issues proper.
The head coach was dealt a double blow by shedding his two main aim scorers, Hee Chan Hwang on Friday and Matheus Cunha early on, to damage, and a marginal offside on Craig Dawson furthered the ache at 1-0, however he wasn’t on the lookout for excuses when talking post-match. Disappointed with the objectives his facet conceded, O’Neil was felt the depth of the sport performed a component within the consequence, permitting the Bees to depart with the three factors.
On what went mistaken
“Quite a bit, truly. It began yesterday afternoon when Channy felt his calf, then shedding Cunha early, so being with out these two, as we’ve spoken about, makes it very tough for us. Two unbelievable errors for the objectives, actually unhealthy objectives, and it permits Brentford to have their recreation then. We huffed and puffed, the lads tried, however whenever you give Brentford a lead they usually have the again 5 and large centre halves, and with a few our key attackers lacking, it’s a tricky ask.
“Having said that, there’s a massive save just before half-time that their goalkeeper makes and then the offside is obviously unbelievably marginal. One that we have to take because we fell below what we’ve set so far, really disappointed with the performance, but also very clear on what needs to be done about it.”
On the sport missing depth
“That’s taking part in Brentford, that’s the best way it’s. The ball’s out of play for ages, they take ages over the whole lot, and attempt to trigger issues from set performs. If you’d have stated to me final evening that we’d lose to Brentford right here, I might have anticipated it to look precisely like that. That’s precisely what Brentford attempt to do, and we made a few errors that performed into their fingers and weren’t ok to rectify.
“We started very slowly. Really sloppy with little things, missing people with the ball, poor first touches and created some impetus early for Brentford. Then two terrible mistakes for the goals, the first one from a set play. Giving them the lift we did made it a tough task for us.”
On Cunha going off injured
“He felt something in his hamstring. It doesn’t feel too bad now, so let’s see how he goes, hopefully nothing too serious because we’ve spoken about fortunately injuries haven’t gone against us this season too much, but as we saw today, he was a big loss. We’ll know a lot more by Monday, Tuesday. Hopefully Channy will be OK next week too.”
On placing Fraser on
“I felt we needed someone who would be able to recognise the spaces that we were trying to create on the back line, especially when we’d lost Cunha. People weren’t recognising it well enough and Nathan’s a number nine, so he’s next in line and he made some decent runs to be fair to him, got in a couple of good positions, and he was the option we decided to go with.”
On what he must see from his group
“We’ve done a really good job as a group. The group have done an unbelievable job maintaining a high level generally. Absolutely gutted we fell below it today and the players will be as well, so using the elation of last week and what we managed to produce compared to how we feel now to make sure we perform better than we did today. There were factors which contributed, but if we look at the performance as a whole, it was obviously nowhere near good enough.”
