Wolves boss Nuno on West Brom shock: Fans deserve better

Wolves boss Nuno was left frustrated after their 3-2 defeat to West Brom.

Nuno felt for the watching Wolves fans as they lost a first Black Country derby in nine years.

He said, "We didn't do a good game or achieve a good result. It means a lot for us and our fans. We didn't do what we should do defensively.

"The start of the second half was very bad. Conceding goals makes our task very hard. We wanted to control the game and be aggressive in defence and we didn't do it.

"We knew that West Brom were trying from throw-ins, long balls and set pieces and we didn't defend well. Coady came off - options, options. It was a simple decision.

"We had chances and require better finishing. It's very hard against a team that defends so well with men behind the ball.

"We are all disappointed. We are aware it's not a good moment for us, we have to react to it and work hard.

"We think that a back four is better for us with the players we have, it is time to analyse and see what the next step forwards is."

He added: "Two penalties and a throw-in [were West Brom's goals]. We knew we required better defending. We must rectify it and do better."
