Wolves manager Mick McCarthy admitted his side rode their luck at times during Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Colchester United.

Stephen Elliott marked his return to the starting line-up with a priceless strike that kept McCarthy's side in the thick of the promotion race.

But afterwards the Molineux boss admitted they were fortunate to pick up all three points.

He said: "We got away with murder at times, but the most important thing is we got the three points.

"From the start, it was flat - there was no spark to the game at all.

"But we got a clean sheet, Stephen Elliott scored and at the end of it sometimes you have to accept you don't play particularly well."
