James Morrison put into words what many Albion feared would happen in this first Black Country derby of the season. His team appeared to freeze on the big occasion and were lucky to escape Molineux with just a single goal defeat.
The fact the winner came from a bad mistake from experienced defender Nat Phillips makes the loss more hurtful but in truth, it was only Max O'Leary's first half heroics that kept Albion level at the break.
There was no real improvement in the second half when Morrison eventually made changes and for the first time this campaign, his side created ZERO chances to score.
