    • Wolves are looking to win three successive league games against Birmingham City for the first time since December 1999. They have also won their past three league visits to St Andrew's.

  18. 🎧 'Not the window we anticipated for Wolves'

    BBC Radio WM's Mike Taylor is joined by former Wolves striker David Kelly to analyse the club's business in the summer transfer window.

    They discuss the large size of the squad and whether there is enough Championship experience for Wolves to win promotion back to the Premier League this season.

    "This might be a promotion squad - the only thing that we can say for the moment, is it is not what we were anticipating," said Taylor.

    "That doesn't mean it will necessarily be bad. We'll know that in a few weeks, but it is not what we were expecting. It just isn't."

    Wolves suffered a first league defeat at West Ham

    Wolves manager Cesar Peixoto admits he was frustrated by his side's inability to convert chances in their 4-2 defeat at West Ham.

    The visitors fell to a first defeat of the season despite a strike from Marshall Munetsi and an own goal by Konstantinos Mavropanos.

    Peixoto believed Wolves deserved more on the balance of play.

    "It was not the result we wanted," he told BBC Radio WM.

    "It was unfair because we created a lot of chances and West Ham scored, we didn't.

    "We stayed competitive until the end. I liked the performance, we created a lot of chances and played like we wanted even at 4-1. They scored and we didn't."

    Peixoto says his players should have broken the game up more to contain the Hammers.

    "We needed to make more fouls to stop the [flow of the] game. We made less than i wanted. We tried to manage the ball more and we hit the bar twice.

    "We managed the game better than West Ham but didn't score."

    Wolves remain third in the Championship.
