Wolves Manager Glenn Hoddle has once again reiterated that Wolverhampton Wanderers is no place for any players wishing for a comfortable life.

A disapointed Hoddle said

"there were only 2 or 3 of our players at the races, and you cant come here and do that "

Hinting that time may be running out for some, the former England boss pointed out that his side had shown improvement after the introduction of Mark Davies, Darren Anderton, and George N'dah, but conceded

"over the ninety minutes we didnt deseserve anything."

Wolves fielded a total of 7 international players against high flying United but were beaten to the punch for most of the game. Hoddle was at pains not to single out individuals but said

"We lost too many battles and were second best too many times this afternoon. At the end of the day, if players arent performing they will be out of the team. "

Panic has never been a word associated with Hoddle, but sensing the fans frustrations with results he added

"Its not healthy being this far behind United, but we wont give up chasing. Theres a long way to go."
