00:00So Charlie, starting with Wolves and obviously a real tough result to take on the weekend
00:07against Manchester City. They sort of did their job for all but of 95 minutes and then
00:13you know John Stones pops up with a winner for the champions with some VAR controversy
00:19as well. What was sort of O'Neill's thoughts after the game and you know Wolves fans have
00:24to be feeling some positives. You know they led against the champions, they played really
00:27well in that first half especially. This surely gives a bit of positivity going round
00:34and you know a lot of fans will be thinking surely if they play like this and they can
00:39keep this consistency that there can't be a team that get relegated.
00:44Yeah you'd think so and I think the good thing and the silver lining for Wolves is the fact
00:47that at the bottom of the standing so many of the teams are struggling as well. Those
00:51that were promoted only on the point or three so all it takes is one win or two and then
00:56just like Everson has shown in the last couple of weeks you're well out of the relegation
00:59zone, well out of trouble and you can start thinking about mid-table perhaps. In terms
01:03of what Gary O'Neill was talking about in the press conference, very proud of his players.
01:08Of course 30 seconds away from earning a point against Manchester City is no mean feat especially
01:13when you're on the team right at the bottom of the standings. When you're a side that's
01:16conceded six to Chelsea at home this season, City are a step above that and to concede
01:22only two is a positive in itself. It might not seem like it being another defeat and
01:26not claiming any points whatsoever but the way they played, how resilient they were,
01:30their focus remained for so much longer than it did in other fixtures this season including
01:35Newcastle as well you could argue. Little lapses, lamps that shoot from range and score
01:39their goals. So yeah plenty of positives but there was that VAR controversy that you've
01:45alluded to there. It's a goal I think quite simply and most people would argue that but
01:51the problem is Wolves had a very similar goal disallowed last season for Max Kilmer against
01:56West Ham when Tawandan Shiraewa was next to Fabianski and the referee decided that because
02:02he was in such close proximity it didn't matter if he was in the eyeline or not and that he
02:07was interrupting. Could you argue that's the exact same for Bernardo Silva? Well that's
02:11what Gary O'Neill thinks but obviously I think at this point he's learned to respect the
02:16referee's decisions otherwise he could get in hot water.
02:19And where the Wolves look to sort of turn it around, obviously some more winnable fixtures
02:23coming up, City was the big one, you know they real failed away at Brentford but can
02:28you see a sort of few points before the next international break at least?
02:32You'd hope so, I mean Brighton away is a very tough fixture and they've just beaten Newcastle
02:37United, they've won five of their opening games and that's going to be very tough indeed
02:42but then you've got Crystal Palace at home, one of the sides that's struggling most in
02:45the division and then Southampton at home who have been probably the worst team along
02:51with Wolves so you've got to claim at least one win out of those and maybe a draw or two
02:55as well and if they do then there'll be a lot of positivity around Molineux.
