Wolves boss O'Neil welcomes FA Cup replay: I'm enjoying it

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil was happy with the youth of his team for yesterday's 1-1 draw at FA Cup opponents Brentford.

O'Neil has no problem with a replay at Molineux

The manager smiled: “It is what it is. We've got a small squad as you could see today. That was everybody who was fit and available here today. We had six or seven lads from the under-21s who were making up the bench, but I quite enjoy it.

“I quite enjoy the challenge. I said to the lads at half time what a fantastic challenge for us, coming here without a lot of key players, down to 10 men, a goal down, and I had full faith we could go and win the second half with what we have, and that's how I feel about the season.

“The situation that the club's been in financially, we're not going to be spending 10s of millions on players, we're going to be doing it with what we've got, and I love working with what I've got, so bring on the replay and we'll give it what we've got."
