00:002-1, what do you make of that tonight?
00:02You can't give goals away at the beginning of each half.
00:05We were an uphill battle all the way through.
00:08Second half, they're too negative.
00:11Passing back all the time, no penetration.
00:16Pullen slowed the game down, what did we expect?
00:21But it was a two-stop start.
00:24For me, Larson came on too late.
00:282-1, disappointing that, isn't it?
00:30Really disappointing. I just felt the effort wasn't there tonight.
00:33Just flat, wasn't it, all night?
00:35Felt really flat and just weren't going forward.
00:40I just felt like we didn't have the determination tonight.
00:44Felt like we'd quit as soon as that second goal went in.
00:47Frustrating, really, because on the back of Saturday,
00:49you think the chips would be up a little bit,
00:51but just two defensive lapses right at the start of each half.
00:54I know. That was a real gut punch.
00:56First and second goal going in.
00:58It looked massively offside, the first goal as well.
01:01So I was surprised when VAR checked it,
01:03that it wasn't disallowed.
01:07Just painful, really.
01:09Thought this could be an opportunity to get a really good cushion.
01:13You know what's going to happen now tomorrow.
01:15It's actually going to go out the front.
01:17Manezzi was ineffective.
01:21It's a shame, because I was hoping they'd build on what they did on Saturday.
01:25Exactly. That's the frustrating thing, isn't it?
01:27It was just a bit flat tonight all round, wasn't it?
01:29Like you said, two defensive lapses.
01:31Then everybody would get into the game.
01:33Fulham didn't really have to get out of third gear, did they?
01:35No. It's so frustrating.
01:38It doesn't look that much between the teams,
01:40but Fulham had two chances and they took two chances.
01:43We often puff, but when you get to the last third,
01:49we're looking for that backward pass all the time.
01:51Is it a bit of a reality check that you're still in a relegation battle?
01:54Absolutely. It's not over yet.
01:56Would you swap this for a win on Saturday and go through to the next round?
02:01Do you feel that you're still in your hands this season?
02:03Oh, absolutely. 100%.
02:06They've got the quality to do it.
02:08It's just got to play well.
02:10That's the key thing. Easier said than done, I guess.
02:13Stran Larson came on. Would you like to see him?
02:15Do you think he's ready for a start now?
02:17I think so. I think Manezzi has got bags and bags of energy.
02:22I just feel like Stran Larson has put the ball in the back of the net,
02:26so I'd rather have him on for sure.
02:28Are you still confident you'll stay up?
02:30I'm still very confident we'll stay up,
02:32but I'm always confident and I always get let down.
02:34Fingers crossed.
02:36It's the Wolves' way, mate.
02:37Absolutely.
02:38Are you still in a relegation battle, do you feel?
02:42I don't think we're out of it yet.
02:44Do you?
02:46Would you swap this for a win on Saturday and go through to the next round?
02:51I want to stay in the Premier League.
02:54The Cup's fun, but the Premier League's where it matters.
