Hugo Bueno is certain that Wolves are on the right path but couldn’t hide his disappointment after three points became one late on against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
The Spaniard has started the Old Gold’s past three matches and provided an outlet on the left once more against the Seagulls, but after failing to build on Marshall Munetsi’s goal, the Old Gold were denied victory late on again.
Bueno has called on Wolves to kill off teams when leading, after Tottenham Hotspur also denied Vitor Pereira’s side at the death the previous week, but the improvements are clear to see, according to the 23-year-old left-back.
On being so closing to the win
“It’s always good to get another point but we’re so disappointed because in the last two games we knew we should get two wins, but this is how it is, so we just have to take the positives again. I know it’s hard, but we have to, and go to the next one.
“We know it’s going to come and as soon the first one comes, hopefully there’s many more. Of course, we’re disappointed because we know the team we have, the quality, and the late goals are so annoying. It’s the reality, so we have to get it sorted, get better and go into the next one to win it.”
On not seeing out the win again
“It’s hard to say. When substitutes come in you have to adapt really quickly, and we have to try to attack more. When we are winning, we sometimes drop the line a bit too much and we have to work it out somehow to not do it, and stay in the match more, get the momentum more and get more chances to score one, two, three more goals so we don’t suffer.
“We got some chances there and we were a bit unlucky to not get the second goal, then unlucky with the quick corner, but it’s little details that give us [just] one point. Hopefully we can sort the little details, they’re not big mistakes. We are on the right path, I say it again, and hopefully the next one we’ll get the win.”
On gelling as a team
“We are getting there, and the team is getting better, from the back to the front. We just have to get to winning ways, that’s main thing – three points, three points, three points. We are putting the work in, so we need to get the little things sorted out.”
On the international period
“It’s important but we have so many players away, so at the same time it’s a bit disappointing because we cannot work with everyone together. The players that stay will give 100 per cent and work between us to get better.”
