Wolves boss Gary O'Neil admits they fell "below standards" for Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Brentford.

O'Neil concedes a lot went wrong on the day.

He said, “Quite a bit, actually. It started yesterday afternoon when Channy felt his calf, then losing Cunha early, so being without those two, as we've spoken about, makes it very difficult for us. Two unbelievable mistakes for the goals, really bad goals, and it allows Brentford to have their game then. We huffed and puffed, the lads tried, but when you give Brentford a lead and they have the back five and big centre halves, and with a couple of our key attackers missing, it's a tough ask.

“Having said that, there's a massive save just before half-time that their goalkeeper makes and then the offside is obviously unbelievably marginal. One that we have to take because we fell below what we've set so far, really disappointed with the performance, but also very clear on what needs to be done about it."

On the game lacking intensity, he also said: “That's playing Brentford, that's the way it is. The ball's out of play for ages, they take ages over everything, and try to cause problems from set plays. If you'd have said to me last night that we'd lose to Brentford here, I would have expected it to look exactly like that. That's exactly what Brentford try and do, and we made a couple of mistakes that played into their hands and weren't good enough to rectify.

“We started very slowly. Really sloppy with little things, missing people with the ball, poor first touches and created some impetus early for Brentford. Then two terrible mistakes for the goals, the first one from a set play. Giving them the lift we did made it a tough task for us."
