Wolves boss O'Neil: We lacked quality in Forest draw

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil admits they lacked quality for their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Matheus Cunha found an equaliser after Harry Toffolo had put Forest ahead.

O'Neil said: “We didn't show enough quality really. There were too many technical turnovers of the ball and we got into some good situations, but loose touches would force us to go backwards and we'd have to recycle it.

“There was a technical breakdown today and I understand it, but I don't accept it. We need to improve if we want to progress and want to get better and better.

“There wasn't enough quality on the day, but the lads have put in a big shift this week, so when you're tired, technical quality can go down a little bit. They looked tired towards the end and I tried to put subs on which didn't really help, didn't make us any better."

He also stated: “There's no doubt we've been better against the teams who come on to us, and I understand why, but it's important to review the game, but it's also important for me to review the group and see how far we've come.

“We're 16 games in and the group are buying into everything. We've got a really good points return and probably better than most people outside this football club expected us to have. It's disappointing today, but it's another game at home where we haven't lost, it's six unbeaten here, which is impressive."
