Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was left to rue his side's bad luck with injury after they were beaten 3-2 at home by West Bromwich Albion in the first leg of their play-off semi-final.
McCarthy had to throw young goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey into the fray in place of Matt Murray, who sustained a serious shoulder injury in training on Saturday.
McCarthy said: "While there's no blame attached to our keeper, it just shows when you've got one that's right bang on form what a difference it makes, and to lose one just before the game doesn't help.
"Dean Kiely had a huge influence on the game and their finishing when they had the opportunities was better.
"We have run all over them for a large part of the game and been punished.
"But we will play exactly the same way, so there is a bit more of that to come on Wednesday."
