Wolves 5 Rotherham Utd 0: Evans will take time to reflect

Manager Steve Evans acknowledged it was a bad afternoon, but insisted no rash decisions would be made as his team battle for their Championship lives.

“Our defending wasn’t good, our finishing wasn’t good, so it is a bad day for us at the office,” he said.

“We have to go away, look at it, reflect on it and try to put it right, as that has not been like us in recent weeks.

“We gave them too much time on the ball at different times and I think all bar one they took every chance.

“I don’t want to stand here and be foolish and say we made six or seven chances ourselves, but we have and the difference is that they have been clinical and we have missed quite simple chances.

“We will look at it on the screen and address certain things and move on from it and try to put a team and a system and a shape together and get ready for the next game against Watford on Tuesday.”

Benik Afobe opened the scoring in the 21st minute and grabbed his second in the 63rd minute as Kenny Jackett’s side sealed only their second victory in six games.

Nouha Dicko now has 10 goals to his name after his 27th-minute strike, and Dave Edwards and Bakary Sako gave the final scoreline an emphatic look for a Wolves side who had scored six on the Millers’ previous visit, albeit while conceding four.
