VIDEO: Carvalhal hails 'fantastic' Owls after win over Wolves
The Portuguese refused to pick out individual players, preferring to focus on the group collectively as Wednesday picked up their first win since beating Huddersfield at home on November 21.

Wednesday went in at the break 2-1 up, thanks to Forestieri again and goals in the second half from Daniel Pudil and Gary Hooper sealed victory.
And while Forestieri will gain the headlines, Carvalhal praised all of his players afterwards.
He said: "We had a challenge and the players were fantastic.

"The most important thing was the reaction after we conceded a goal.
"I won't talk about individual performances because it was all about the team. The team worked very well.
"We did well in attack and defence and the reaction when we lost the ball was fantastic. The set-pieces were also very good.
