Wolves boss Gary O'Neil was happy with two-goal Matt Doherty after their Carabao Cup defeat of Blackpool.

The fullback struck twice in the 5-0 second round win.

O'Neil later said: "I know Matt can do the high up wing-back role, where he got his two goals, but I wanted to have a look at him lower down as well, just to see, because we've been a little bit short in the centre-half department, so I wanted to have a look at him there.

It was a good opportunity for me to get a look at a lot of them because I've known them outside, but it's different levels of details once you're in a match than when you're working daily with them and I wanted to know more about them.

But it was a really good experience for me to get the lads out there and get a good look at them in a real game against a good side, and a lot of them came out of it really well, so it was a good performance."
