Managers Views: Wolves 0 : 2 Hammers 15th Aug 09
Mick McCarthy
“I thought we played well and gave a good performance but I want to win. I do not think we have that many lessons to learn.
“What it did confirm is that when we play as well as that we have to take our chances and we have to score.
“If there is anything to learn that just playing well is not enough. That is what we should understand.
“Then we don't mark from a corner after we'd had a really good spell. It was an awful goal to concede.
“While that did not kill the game completely, it made unlikely we were going to get something out of it."
Gianfranco Zola
"It was a very professional win, a good game for us, we looked in control and created so many chances to score, we were focused and composed, I'm very pleased , a perfect way to start the new season!
“I'm looking forward to seeing more goals in the future from our Midfielders , but today has been good, we can now look forward to Tott*nham next Sunday with real optimism"
