Wolves head coach calls for more from fringe players

Following a 4-1 win at Fulham, Wolves came crashing back down to earth at the weekend with a 4-2 home loss to Bournemouth that was full of individual mistakes.

Goncalo Guedes stepped off the bench to earn another assist but a number of other fringe players have struggled to make an impact.

O'Neil insists he will not rush into any big decisions on his starting XI following the damaging defeat to the Cherries, but has called for more impact from those on the bench.

"I won't make any rash decisions on anything," O'Neil said when asked about his team selection following some high-profile errors from key players.

"The Premier League is tough and it will throw up some tough games. We were never going to maintain momentum for 38 or 30 games after the tough start that we had. It was never going to be a tough start and then let's maintain this momentum until May.

"Did we expect it to come to a halt as it did? No, but it can do. Bournemouth have a way of playing that is difficult and we didn't find the answers. So it comes to a halt and then we need to rebuild and we need to go again.

"We saw a lot of players, a lot of substitutes and the starting XI and then they're all responsible for their own performance and how likely they are to play again.

"All of them know that when they get their opportunity to come on, you need to make a difference. You need to make a difference if you want to impact the XI.

"Some of them have done that so far this season, some of them haven't done enough. That's just where we are at this moment and Wednesday comes very, very quickly and we look forward to putting in a better display."
