00:002-1, what do you make of that tonight?

00:02You can't give goals away at the beginning of each half.

00:05We were an uphill battle all the way through.

00:08Second half, they're too negative.

00:11Passing back all the time, no penetration.

00:16Pullen slowed the game down, what did we expect?

00:21But it was a two-stop start.

00:24For me, Larson came on too late.

00:282-1, disappointing that, isn't it?

00:30Really disappointing. I just felt the effort wasn't there tonight.

00:33Just flat, wasn't it, all night?

00:35Felt really flat and just weren't going forward.

00:40I just felt like we didn't have the determination tonight.

00:44Felt like we'd quit as soon as that second goal went in.

00:47Frustrating, really, because on the back of Saturday,

00:49you think the chips would be up a little bit,

00:51but just two defensive lapses right at the start of each half.

00:54I know. That was a real gut punch.

00:56First and second goal going in.

00:58It looked massively offside, the first goal as well.

01:01So I was surprised when VAR checked it,

01:03that it wasn't disallowed.

01:07Just painful, really.

01:09Thought this could be an opportunity to get a really good cushion.

01:13You know what's going to happen now tomorrow.

01:15It's actually going to go out the front.

01:17Manezzi was ineffective.

01:21It's a shame, because I was hoping they'd build on what they did on Saturday.

01:25Exactly. That's the frustrating thing, isn't it?

01:27It was just a bit flat tonight all round, wasn't it?

01:29Like you said, two defensive lapses.

01:31Then everybody would get into the game.

01:33Fulham didn't really have to get out of third gear, did they?

01:35No. It's so frustrating.

01:38It doesn't look that much between the teams,

01:40but Fulham had two chances and they took two chances.

01:43We often puff, but when you get to the last third,

01:49we're looking for that backward pass all the time.

01:51Is it a bit of a reality check that you're still in a relegation battle?

01:54Absolutely. It's not over yet.

01:56Would you swap this for a win on Saturday and go through to the next round?

02:01Do you feel that you're still in your hands this season?

02:03Oh, absolutely. 100%.

02:06They've got the quality to do it.

02:08It's just got to play well.

02:10That's the key thing. Easier said than done, I guess.

02:13Stran Larson came on. Would you like to see him?

02:15Do you think he's ready for a start now?

02:17I think so. I think Manezzi has got bags and bags of energy.

02:22I just feel like Stran Larson has put the ball in the back of the net,

02:26so I'd rather have him on for sure.

02:28Are you still confident you'll stay up?

02:30I'm still very confident we'll stay up,

02:32but I'm always confident and I always get let down.

02:34Fingers crossed.

02:36It's the Wolves' way, mate.

02:37Absolutely.

02:38Are you still in a relegation battle, do you feel?

02:42I don't think we're out of it yet.

02:44Do you?

02:46Would you swap this for a win on Saturday and go through to the next round?

02:51I want to stay in the Premier League.

02:54The Cup's fun, but the Premier League's where it matters.
