Conor Coady has taken criticism from some Wolverhampton Wanderers fans ahead of the trip to The Hawthorns for Monday's Black Country derby.

Wolves head into the game in 12th place, a full seven points adrift of the top half. They are looking to make amends following a woeful 4-0 defeat against Burnley last time out.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have finished in a highly creditable seventh place in the last two seasons, but they have struggled this time around amid the long-term absence of last year's top scorer Raul Jimenez.

What did Coady say about Wolves' season?

Speaking to the club's official website, Wolves captain Coady admitted that his side's efforts hadn't been 'good enough'.

The £16,500-per-week centre-back went on to concede that they had regressed from their high-flying campaigns of the last two years.

Having led 2-1 when they last met Albion in January, Wolves were beaten 3-2 on home soil, but they know that gaining revenge on Monday would go some way to ensuring West Brom aren't playing top-flight football next season.

Fan feed Talking Wolves relayed Coady's comments, and here's how some supporters reacted.
