00:00Basically, it's what we were expecting. Realistically, non-season, small squad, it's what we were expecting.

00:10A lot of injuries, lack of players.

00:12Build on to next season.

00:14I mean, like you say, when you're playing against the best team in the world, it's very difficult isn't it?

00:18But at the same time, they made some poor errors today as well.

00:21Obviously, you're always going to get there in the small squad.

00:25We can build on to next season.

00:27That's all I can say. Build on to next season.

00:30Get some players in. Get some of the deadwood out.

00:33Two penalties, dubious. I haven't seen them, obviously, on film.

00:37But they're always going to get them. Stuart Atwell on VAR as well tonight.

00:42Well, I thought I was proud of our lads. They didn't give up 4-1, 5-1.

00:46They're still going at it. It's all a good goal.

00:49You look tough and you probably look at those games and it's easy to say,

00:52but you do miss someone like Craig Dawson, don't you, in those circumstances?

00:55Yeah, absolutely. I think he marked him out of the game.

00:58He said he played him at home.

01:00Harlan never had a kick and tonight he was magnificent when he was finishing.

01:03Yeah, it was pretty poor for most of the club, to be honest.

01:07Honestly, I didn't watch the first 20 minutes of the second half.

01:11It was much better atmosphere, much better in the concourse anyway.

01:16You've got Mark Harland and he's on form like that.

01:18It's very difficult to stop him, isn't it?

01:20Dawson would have took him out of the game.

01:23Even though he's an old man, Dawson would have kept him out of the game,

01:28just as he did before.

01:30But it's down to experience.

01:33We've got a young squad. Let's build on to next season.

01:37They take somebody off. They bring another World Cup winner on the pitch.

01:42But it's a day out. I thought the lads were proud of him in the end.

01:46Even though he lost 5-1.

01:48You're going into next season. I know they've got a couple of games left,

01:51but at the same time, what are your hopes next season?

01:53Do you think that Gary knows the right man to take them forward?

01:55Yeah, absolutely. I think he's great.

01:57The formation he started with today, why not?

02:00It could have worked. Get a bit of pace down the wings.

02:04Harland's really good, to be fair. How tricky was that?

02:07I don't think it's that difficult to stop Harland, relatively speaking.

02:10I think we did a bad job of it.

02:12Miss Craig Dawson?

02:14Miss Craig Dawson, definitely.

02:16Who do you support?

02:18Your Wolves!

02:20Can you get her away from me?

02:22I think we missed Craig Dawson, definitely.

02:24I think we didn't control the ball at all.

02:29Even when we had it, we had it for 10 minutes at a time.

02:32We never looked like we were going to get anything from the game.

02:36Wolves predicted to go down this season.

02:38Gary O'Neill, are you quite pleased with him?

02:40Fantastic job, fantastic job.

02:42Literally, fantastic job.

02:44Absolutely amazing job.

02:46Can't wait for next season, to be honest.

02:48Two games to go, what do you want to see?

02:50I guess Pedro Neto back on the pitch and maybe a win against Palace?

02:53Yeah, how do you expect to beat Palace at Liverpool?

02:55A good display, hope for the best there.

02:58I think it's been unlucky for the last half of the season that we've had that many injuries.

03:04I think maybe with all our players in, with Pedro Neto back, with Dawson back,

03:11even with Santi Bueno in this side today, we might have done a better job.

03:15I think Gary has been unlucky with the amount of injuries he's had.

03:20But either way, he can't go and lose any games right now.
