Wolves boss Nuno: We must be better to face Chelsea

Wolves boss Nuno says they must improve after victory last night at FA Cup opponents Chorley.

A stunning first-half goal from Vitinha proved the only difference as the National League North side were edged out 1-0 by their Premier League visitors in a hard-fought tie at Victory Park.

"The FA Cup means a lot for us," Nuno said. "We wanted to proceed and we achieved it but the team needs to work and perform better. A lot of aspects of our game need improvement.

"The next one is Chelsea and we need improvement. Let us recover well and prepare the team. We need to perform better than we did today. We need to press better and react better.

"The scene was set for us to lose this game. I will be honest, I don't think many people will remember this game. The quality was not good."

The 46-year-old however praised their sixth-tier opponents and admitted he realised what a huge game it was for the hosts.

"Credit to Chorley," he continued. "They are in the lower divisions but they were organised and had a good striker that fights and was strong in the duels and created problems.

"I have been on the other side and played in the lower divisions against big teams, so I know what it meant for Chorley. I honestly think we should do better but not in terms of our attitude."
