Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Conor Coady says they must treat their draw with Brighton as a warning sign.

Wolves were unable to gain more ground in the chase for a top four finish in the Premier League clash.

They were held to a 0-0 draw by the relegation candidates at home.

And Coady says it shows that every point must be earned in this division.

"To get a point in this league is tough, it really is. We'll take Saturday's and move on," the skipper told reporters - via the Express & Star.

"There are going to be twists and turns every single week. It's the best division in the world and it happens.

"We make sure we take it one game at a time and prepare for each one because you come up against top, top teams."

He continued: "The manager said before the game Brighton's league position doesn't represent what they are. They're a really good team.

"It was something we had to be prepared for and a point was fair in the end. We wanted more, but if you're not going to win, then don't lose."

Wolves could have gone to fourth place for a few hours with a win by several goals, but Coady says he was unaware of such a permutation.

"I didn't even know that, to be honest," he went on to say.

"It's something, honest to God, we don't speak about.

"We didn't say: 'We need to win by two to put us here in the league'. We are where we are and it's important we keep on building, it's as simple as that.

"It's always one game at a time. We've done it for three years and it's something that's brought us success.

"It's something that helps us each and every day to prepare right and make sure we're focused on the game at hand.

"It's worked for us so that will never ever stop now. It's something the manager reiterates every single day and the next one is Thursday night which is a great game for everyone."
