Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui admits defeat to Bournemouth was about failing to take their chances.
Following a first-half when the hosts did everything but find the back of the net, the head coach said his players 'forgot to play football' after Marcus Tavernier put the Cherries ahead with their only shot on target five minutes after the break.
Lopetegui said, "We started in a good way and dominated the game. We had many chances, many corners and many free-kicks, and we had a good first-half, but that was not enough. We weren't able to overcome the opponent in the play, but in that situation, don't lose and don't suffer a goal.
But in the second-half, we suffered very early. The only shot they had inside the post and the goal, they scored. But this is football, and we have to accept this.
After that, especially in the last 20 minutes, we didn't play in a good way. We wanted to arrive very early for the opponent's box and when you do that, you forget to play football, and sometimes that makes it easier for the opponent.
After they scored, we played with a big frustration and this is a pity for me, because it is in these moments when you have to be calm.
We had time in front of us and you have to keep playing football, but we forgot this a little bit and we were thinking too much in the score. By doing this, you are closer to losing the match and it was a pity because we lost an important match for us.
But I repeat the same mantra because it's true this is going to be a long and hard race and we have to be ready. Today we are sad and unhappy, but tomorrow we have to be ready to restart and try and get three points in the next match."
