Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira speaking to BBC Sport: "You can say that we were unlucky but for me, we created chances to score but we faced a team that were physically strong, we felt that on the pitch. They were very fast on the counter-attack and when they score first, they are a team that they are compact and wait for mistakes. Each mistake we made, they scored a goal. They scored at the end of the first-half in a moment where we could have equalised. We didn't and this is not luck. Sometimes you can say luck but I thought their goalkeeper made fantastic saves. We need to improve our details inside the box to score more goals."

On what positives he can take from the match: "A lot of things. I am happy with my players. They tried everything to take something from this game but this is also something we are expecting. We cannot lose our balance in the moment when we lose the ball. When we lose the ball, if we are not balanced, they are strong in the counter-attack. We prepared for this in training but in the end, we had a lot of players out in a small squad and we tried our best."

On what he has made of the side in his early days at the club: "I am proud of the players because they tried everything. We tried everything to get a different result but with a small squad and the problems we faced during the week - it was very difficult to be more competitive than today."

Since Nuno Espírito Santo's first game in charge of Nottingham Forest (23 December 2023) only Erling Haaland (24) and Alexander Isak (23) have scored more non-penalty goals in the Premier League than Chris Wood (21).

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira speaking to Sky Sports: "To play against a team like Nottingham Forest - they are a strong team, physically and we feel this on the pitch. They are very fast on the counter-attack. We had chances to score the first goal and at 1-1 and it may have been different if it was like this. With this team, every time we don't have the balance to stop the counter-attack, they created problems. In the mistakes that we committed, they scored."

On conceding the second goal: "Before the second goal we had chances to equalise. We have a small squad and this week we have a lot problems. We tried everything. I am proud of my players but it was not possible today."

On whether they need to add players in the January transfer window: "We need to. Not too much but we need at least two or three players to balance the squad and balance the team."

On the amount of chances his side created: "We need to give the merit to the goalkeeper because the goalkeeper of Nottingham Forest today made some fantastic saves."

On whether he is happy with the progress within the squad: "I am very happy with my players. If we have everyone with conditions to play then it is a different game, it is a different squad. With a short squad and with the problems that we've faced this week - we tried our best. They work a lot, they try but in the end they scored three goals and we scored nothing."

On whether he felt the result was harsh: "Nottingham Forest is a team that when they score first then it is a problem. They will wait for the mistakes and when we make a mistake they score. They are a strong team with this style of play."

Morgan Gibbs-White has had a hand in six goals in his last six Premier League appearances for Nottingham Forest (three goals, three assists), netting in back-to-back games for the first time since April 2023.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BBC Sport: "We played good. We were organised and we had the luck of scoring really early, that settles us down. Wolves reacted well and Matz Sels was very good for us today to keep us in the game but overall it was a good performance."

On the confidence in the side: "We are OK. The performance and the results help with confidence - you saw Callum Hudson-Odoi today and Anthony Elanga they were confident and creating many problems. This is what we want to see from our players, to feel good on the pitch and to work hard. But before Liverpool we have Luton and we have to think about the FA Cup."

On Brian Clough and his legacy: "We see it all over the place. It is at our stadium, at our training ground - images of Brian - he is a legend of the club."

Anthony Elanga has either scored (three) or assisted (two) in each of his last five Premier League appearances for Nottingham Forest.

Only Stan Collymore (a run of 11 between March-May 1995) and Taiwo Awoniyi (a run of nine between May-September 2023) have had better runs for the club in the competition.

If they beat Liverpool then they are in the title race and they are the only team to beat Liverpool. If Champions League goes to the top five positions they have got a hell of a chance.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to Sky Sports: "It feels good. We work very hard to achieve what we have. Today was a tough game. Wolves had chances and Matz Sels was amazing to keep us in the game. I'm really proud of the work ethic of the players and the desire to go in front and score."

On whether the secret to success is as simple as 'staying humble': "It's a very tough competition. We are always going to face tough opponents. We need to stay humble. We haven't achieved anything yet, we need to work until the end and this can lead us to good moments."

On Morgan Gibbs-White and Thomas Tuchel being in attendance: "We have a lot of players that play for their national teams. Morgan is one of them. This ambition to play for their national teams only makes a player better. I tell them to want this but to achieve this you have to work very well within your club so the national team coaches can see you and take advantage."

On what his ambition with the team is now: "My ambition is always the same. As coaching staff we have this natural ambition of improving the players, this is what we are obsessed with. If we improve the players than the team will improve and if the team improves than the club will improve and the city will be happy."

On the penalty decision that didn't go their way in the first-half: "I didn't see the images but they checked it. Let's not get into that."

Nottingham Forest sit third in the Premier League, behind Arsenal only on goal difference (level on 40 points each).

Of the 70 teams to win 40+ points from their first 20 games in a Premier League campaign before now, only four have failed to finish inside the top four at the end of the season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves defender Matt Doherty speaking to BBC Sport: "I think we created some good chances during the game. It didn't feel like they created too much clear-cut, just three counter-attacks and us being a bit poor defensively and they punished us. They are in that type of moment where they are flying and things are going for them. We played well but sloppiness beat us in the end."

On whether it felt like 'one of those days': "We were creating the chances and felt like the goal was coming. We knew how to get in and around them. On another day those chances go in. At no point were we thinking it's not our day. It was disappointing to concede the last goal because that always makes things look worse."

On Vitor Pereira: "He has brought his own way of playing, his own discipline and his own style. He has got ways to play that were different than before but all managers are different. We have a lot of Portuguese speaking players in the squad and he is probably able to get his message across. I think he has brought a bit more discipline around the place and on the training ground. We just have to pick ourselves up for the FA Cup at the weekend."

On what Pereira is asking of him: "I have played wing-back and full-back for a long time but I am enjoying the role I have now. I'm disappointed myself for the second goal, I thought he was offside but you should never assume anything in football. Other than that I am enjoying the role. At the moment, things are going well."

Wolves

Wolves defender Matt Doherty speaking to Sky Sports: "We played well. We were creating chances. It felt like we were limiting them, the goals they scored were bad defending and mistakes from us. A strange one, we played well, knocking the ball around, getting in behind and the keeper had a great game. It's the hardest league in the world and their keeper was in form and that's what happens sometimes.

"Strange, one of those games where you feel like the result could've been the other way. It's the Premier League and teams are ruthless. You can't make mistakes and we made a couple of them and we got punished.

"When the goals go in we didn't lose confidence. Even at 2-0 we were still playing well. Confidence was still there. We're going in the right direction, the goal at the end makes it looks worse than it was but we're pretty confident we're going in the right direction."

Tim, better to focus on dreams that are possible. Like winning the lottery.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest goalscorer Morgan Gibbs-White speaking to Sky Sports: "Tonight was a tough one. We had a game plan, stuck to it. They caused us a lot of problems in the first half but we stuck to the game plan, knew what we had to do and got the job done.

"Credit to Matz Sels and Murillo they kept us in it in the first half. When we had chances we took them and that has been the difference with us this season. We have been clinical when we needed to be. We got the job done. We are really good at managing games now and credit to the boys. We are deservedly in the position we are in."

On his goal celebration: "There is a lot of rivalry going on there with me and Wolves but that's what makes football. It's all love and banter. I take it that way anyway."

On scoring in front of new England boss Thomas Tuchel: "I didn't even know he was here. I'm just focused on club football at the minute. We will see what happens when March comes. I didn't even know but now I know I've got a smile on my face."

What's on the mind: "We are taking each training session and each opponent as it comes. There is a lot of belief in the group, there is a lot of belief in the fans. There is high expectation from the fans and that's what strives us on. We have to take it game by game and see where it gets us."

On how fun it would be to bring Champions League football to the City Ground: "It would be absolutely incredible. There will be a few fans who might be able to experience it twice. To be able to give them that opportunity again is what we really want to do as a club. The owner believes in it, we believe in it. We just have to take it game by game and not get ahead of ourselves. stay calm and stay humble."

Nottingham Forest have won six consecutive Premier League games, the longest winning run any team have managed this season.

It is the first time Forest have won six successive top-flight matches since May-September 1979 - and the first time in one season since 1966-67.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood: "It's about consistency, and doing what we've been doing well already this season, not letting up. We need to keep doing what we've been doing and what has been so good in the first 19 games."

On Taiwo Awoniyi: "He's a big part of us. A fantastic player, that's what he wants and he deserves it for all the work he puts in on and off the pitch."

On Morgan Gibbs-White: "He gets a lot of stick, particularly here at Wolves, and that's the best way to fight back. Scoring goals and that's what he does."

On Nuno Espirito Santo: "Confidence, belief, responsibility in a team that works to all our strengths. We tweak every week, it's not the same every week and he's done superbly well since he's come in.

"Luton on Saturday then we can focus on Liverpool."

On the title: "Well and truly way too early to talk about that. Not thinking anything like that."
