Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 West Bromwich Albion - fans verdict

[BBC] We asked for your thoughts after Wolverhampton Wanderers' 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in Sunday's derby encounter. Here are some of your comments: Wolves fans Dave : Absolutely battered the Baggies, rock solid at the back and although we didn't dominate possession, we created almost all of the chances. They never looked like scoring, even from set-pieces. Only their GK kept the score respectable. Convincing victory even without two of our best players (Raul and Krejci). Brian : Much better, hard work, tough tackles, making chances. This is exactly what the fans want to see and needs to be the standard every week. Robert : Wolves were brilliant for the vast majority of the game. Every player was on the money from the kick-off. Need to repeat this level regularly to win promotion though. Simon : Great high pressure performance which provided the right result. However Wolves, at home, need to convert their chances when they're on top, to avoid nervy final minutes. They also need to learn to stop playing too deep when going ahead, instead continue persevering with the high tempo football to reap the rewards they deserve. James : Wolves did well. Limited Albion threat to a minimum. Scored the important goal that wins the tight local derby. [Getty Images] West Brom fans Jonathan : Derby loss hurts but response is more important. O'Leary superb. When facing high press defenders need to know when to get rid. Quicker interplay up front needed to create chances. Potential is there for rest of season. Paul : We were never in the game, you could say we froze. Our young players will learn from this game and hopefully will return to how we have played this season. Mac : Poor passing, no person with any aggression for a derby, no passion, no-one with any idea how to score a goal, if it wasn't for O'Leary or could have been 4-0. Peter : We were the better side and lost by a stupid mistake by Phillips. But that's football for you. Stephen : Midfield needs sorting, Price corner kicks are not good enough, need to play a winger. You can't play Price and Whitwell in the same team. Styles need to be down the left, makes room for Price, gives him room to operate. Totally out-played and out-fought.
