Cesar Peixoto cut a frustrated figure after his first league game in charge of Wolves. It took a late penalty from returning hero Raul Jimenez to salvage a point after Blackburn Rovers had come from a goal down to lead 2-1.
“It’s one point, not what we want, we wanted three points” he said. “We were better in the first half and created more chances. In the second half we conceded the goals and lost organisation. We played with our heart and not our brain.
“It’s a lesson for us in the future, we have to stay mentally stable for 90 minutes because when we stay organised like that, we are better.”
