Jon Dadi Bodvarsson frustrated after Wolves defeat

The big Icelandic forward came desperately close to levelling things up against Huddersfield on Saturday.

But his goal-bound header was somehow kept out by goalkeeper Danny Ward, whom Terriers boss David Wagner said was the man of the match.

"I'm frustrated, I hate to lose," Bodvarsson said.

"I thought we should have done better. The second half was better but still I think can improve a lot.

"We had a good momentum going, we were winning and getting good results.

"It's a kick in the face. But it happens in football, you win some you lose some.

"It's a matter of our character, how we deal with it."

Of his big chance, Bodvarsson added: "I was sure it was in but the keeper made a good save. Personally I've had better games this season.

"It happens. I try to be as consistent as possible. I'm going to look at this game again and learn from it.

"No matter what happens, a defeat or a win, we have to stay on the ground and be focused. It's a long marathon and so important to keep the consistency.

"It shows that when we're not playing our best we were still in it. That's a positive to take from the game."

Wolves lie eighth in the table after five matches.

And Bodvarsson, who has netted twice for his new club, is happy with how things are going for the team.

"It's a really good start to be honest," he said. "We have a lot of new players and new things going on.

"We have to be consistent and keep that momentum. Hopefully we will do that.

"The Portuguese players, they don't speak maybe the same English as I am, and we're helping them a lot.

"And everybody is helping together to be better individual players. It's important to keep the togetherness.

"In the Championship there are a lot of games every week. We're mature enough to understand that and must prepare mentally and physically for every game."

New boss Walter Zenga has revitalised a number of Wolves' existing squad, with the likes of Conor Coady and Danny Batth enjoying good starts to the campaign.

But even Bodvarsson, who has only been at Molineux for a few weeks, thinks he's been improved as a player by Zenga already.

"His expectations are high and he wants the best you can do," he said. "And he gives you a lot of good advice.

"I've learned a lot in a short space of time. I think I'll improve this year as a player.

"The manager has brought a lot of energy, and confidence and especially a lot of passion.

"That's something that's really important for the team.And he keeps the team disciplined and focused every time.

"In every training session you are on your toes. And if not he will scream at you! But that's a positive, I like that.

"No one is lazy, everyone is focused."
