Wolves boss Gary O'Neil was left frustrated after defeat at home to Crystal Palace.

Matheus Cunha struck for Wolves in the 3-1 defeat.

O'Neil said, We beat ourselves, really, in the first half. So many loose mistakes with the ball, far too many. That's something where we need to stop. Coming close to the end of the season now, it gives me a chance to assess what we're asking of the group and we're going to have to make some changes if that is what we're able to deliver.

Second half, we were much more direct and looked better. So, there was stuff to learn from where we are at the moment, and we're obviously not in full flow, but a tough afternoon.

To be fair to the players, in the second half they had a right go, got back to 2-1 and looked like we might have got something from it, but the third goal killed us. But the damage was done in the first half."

He also said, "The first two thirds of the season we looked like a team chasing Europe, and the last third of the season you could see the issues that we've had and those have come to light, and as a football club, we need to have a real good look at the last few weeks.

People are starting to come back, and we still haven't managed to regain that impetus and momentum that we had before. There's a lot of work to be done between now and the start of next season, and a tough away game next week at Anfield."
