Nick Woltemade struck the only goal of the game, leaving Wolves winless this season.
But Pereira said afterwards: “I’m very happy with my team, proud of my players, the way that we faced Newcastle away, full stadium, but I saw my team playing with bravery, tactical organisation, creating problems, strategical problems and we created two chance to score before them.
“This is the time to be together, not to complain, because I'm very proud. I believe that we can increase the level of the team if we have time to work with the team, if we had time to work on the pitch, we can increase the level.
“The first week we will have time to be together and to work together on the pitch, it will be the next week for the first time in this season. What I saw this game was tactically, mentally, a team with energy, with spirit, with belief in themselves, and this is for me is the way to increase our level and to start to getting points.”
Pereira also said: “Last season we had defeats in four games in a row, but we never lost our focus. We never lost our way to improve. This is the way to improve, mentally and tactically speaking. It means that we know what we must do with the team, and the team knows what we can do to improve, and this is time to be patient and to support the team.
“I just want to finish a game proud of my players, proud of my team, and today I'm proud of my team. Today, I'm happy. Of course, worried because we didn't get any points, but this is the way, I want to see my team competing like this.”
