Wolves boss Nuno after Watford loss: “Now it is disappointing and sadness”

Speaking after the game, Nuno said: "It was an emotional game. We had it, and it got away from us. It was a sad moment, we cannot hide it. Now it is disappointing and sadness.

"We did the first half very good, second half not so good. We could not manage the ball. Watford kept going, long balls, and we didn't manage well.

"When it comes to four minutes of injury time we should have possession of the ball. We couldn't handle that and we got punished.

"We are disappointed. This is football, we must stand again, we have things to fight for, but I am very proud, tough ties we were able to win and today we played good. I honestly think we should have done better in the last moments of the game."

However, the Wolves boss was defiant as he looked to move on from the loss, saying: "We have to stick together. We will keep going. We must prepare well for the next game and keep growing as a team and try to reach a semi-final in the future and win it.

"It is tough, sometimes the pain that you feel makes you grow. You have to feel it as a group. We will stick together because it is our identity. It is relentless, we never give up and we will come again.

"It is a terrific season. Not only this season, last season we were in the Championship and came to the Premier League. We keep on fighting each game, each challenge we had ahead of us we go and compete. That will not change, ever.

"It was a tough game, we knew that. There is sadness, there is pain but we have to look at it. In the final minutes of the game we should do better because the game was ours.

"Our fans were amazing and we should manage better. We must keep possession of the ball at the end, we had moments where we could have put the game to bed but we did not do that."
