Nuno wants more from his Wolves strikers

Nuno’s side had 25 shots to the Seagulls’ seven on Saturday but lost 1-0 as Glenn Murray swept home the only goal of the game just after half-time.

On the whole, Wolves have reason to be positive as they are in the top half of the Premier League 10 games in.

But they are fresh off back-to-back league defeats – for the first time under Nuno – and successive blanks.

“Of course, it’s something we have to improve,” said Nuno.

“When you create so much, you must improve.

“But sometimes you just have to give credit also. Not all chances are the same – there is the goalkeeper and bodies on the line.

“The way Brighton defended, they were brave. They put themselves between the ball and the goal.

“We have to improve (though). We have to get better.”

Wolves have scored nine goals in the league and not netted in the first half since Ruben Neves did so with a fine free-kick in the season-opening 2-2 draw with Everton at Molineux.

Nuno chopped and changed his front-line options on Saturday with Adama Traore handed a first start while Diogo Jota, Ivan Cavaleiro and Leo Bonatini were introduced from the bench.

One of their many efforts at the Amex saw Matt Doherty’s shot seemingly blocked by Jose Izquierdo’s hand.

Referee Anthony Taylor was unmoved for the first-half incident.

Nuno thought it was a definite penalty though.

“He didn’t see it, he didn’t give it and sometimes that is football,” he said,

There were also appeals for a spot-kick in the second half when defender Willy Boly claimed he was held as he challenged for a header during Wolves’ late spell of pressure.
