Not so Bright as sloppy Old Gold lose their lustre

VITOR Pereira has no intention of letting Wolves ease off in their final two games of the season.

The Old Gold were a pale shadow of the side which had won six games in succession as they slipped to a first home defeat since February to Europe-chasing Brighton.

Danny Welbeck scored from the penalty spot before half-time to pout the Seagulls ahead, and substitute Brajan Gruda grabbed his first goal for the club late in the second half.

Wolves had their moments but boss Pereira had no complaints that the better team won.

"They deserved to win, we know we can be better, it is time to correct - mentally and physically - my team," said Pereira.

"We can play at a better level.

"The only thing that I can control is my training, and not only tactically, but to correct mentally the players to face the next two games. But it’s important to keep the motivation, the ambition, to finish in the best position. This is my message.

"We have to keep our work so we can be better in the next two games. We have six points to play for."

Wolves head to Crystal Palace a week on Tuesday and then sign off at home to Brentford on Sunday May 25.
