Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was disappointed to exit the cup 1-0 courtesy of a set piece by local rivals Stoke City late in the second half. Nenad Milijas then missed a last minute penalty to take the game to a replay.
McCarthy said: "The missed penalty (by Milijas) does not make me unhappy with the performance.
"It is indicative of our performance because it is a missed opportunity.
"Ultimately we gave away a needless free-kick and got punished by Stoke who do it better than anyone else with free-kicks, corners and throw-ins.
"We dealt with it well most of the time - but not that occasion." Meanwhile, McCarthy is hoping newcomer Jamie O'Hara can make an impact on their relegation fight after his loan switch from Tottenham.
McCarthy said: "Jamie is a good player and will add quality to our squad and hopefully improve us as a team.
"He has been injured, he has recovered from that, and he is fine and needs a bit of game time.
"He is also a good personality around the place, a good positive signing for us."
