Wolves boss O'Neil: Forest should've defended throw-in better

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil admits they were fortunate with their eqjualiser after Saturday's 1-1 draw.

O'Neil concedes the throw-in which led to Matheus Cunha's goal should not have been given.

"Yes, definitely not our throw-in. Yeah, the throw-in doesn't cause a goal and there's a lot that happens after that," O'Neil told Sky Sports.

"So yeah, there'll be loads of little decisions in that game that have gone the wrong way. But it was a Nottingham Forest throw-in so the officials have got that wrong.

"But if he wants to watch some of the decisions that have gone against us this year in sort of more key areas then it's just a throw-in in so yeah, they should defend the throw-in better."

Asked for his verdict on the game, he added: “It was a tough game, to go 1-0 down against a team that were here to defend very deep and just plan on the counter-attack.

"To give them an early 1-0 lead played into their hands and made it difficult for us. In the first half we responded pretty well once we found our way. We scored a really good goal and looked a threat.

“But we lost our way in the second half. We didn't find a way to cause them problems in their back five. I leave slightly disappointed, feeling we were all trying to get more. The players, myself, the fans and we didn't manage to test them as much as I would have liked."
