Dejected Wolves boss Kenny Jackett blamed his side's naivety for their 4-0 demolition at the hands of high-flying Brentford.
The Bees made it five straight wins in the Sky Bet Championship - their best at this level since 1935 - and also condemned the visitors to their fourth defeat in a row.
After taking the lead Brentford always looked likely to score more, prompting Jackett to criticise his side's lack of organisation.
"In the first half it was a close game. We had some big chances and did well on the counter attack, but we gave away a poor first goal from a throw-in and that changed things," he said.
"In the second half we opened up more and we got caught on the counter attack by a very good Brentford side."
He added: "Some of our big players have struggled and are looking for confidence, but our set up defensively and organisationally at times is poor.
"We were very open in the second half and our naivety to the counter attack was the most disturbing thing."
Brentford took the lead almost on the half-hour, Jon Toral nicking the ball from a hesitant Lee Evans to feed Alan Judge who ran on to dink the ball inside the far post with the outside of his foot.
The breakthrough gave the hosts a new lease of life after two early escapes as Wolves wingers Bakary Sako and Rajiv van La Parra caused chaos down the flanks.
Loan signing Danny Graham forced a superb reflex save from Brentford's David Button beneath the angle with 17 minutes gone.
And Button was the hero again just before the half hour when he stopped Sako's sizzling low drive with his leg at the foot of the post.
But after the opener Brentford grew in stature and sealed the win with late goals from Stuart Dallas, Andre Gray and Jota.
Brentford boss Mark Warburton, whose side now sit third, said: "People talk to me about coming into this division and looking to survive, but that's nonsense.
"Our aim isn't just to stay in this division. That is not what we are about. We want to maintain our level of performance and see where we end up in May."
He added: "When we play well we do not fear anyone in this division, but it is a very tough division and if you start letting your standards slip then you'll get hurt as we found out at Middlesbrough."
Warburton paid tribute to "senior pro" Judge, at 25 one of the elder statesmen in the Bees line up and the man of the match in this encounter.
The little Irishman dominated the midfield and created two goals to leave his manager purring: "He trains like he plays but he's not alone.
"We have players not even in the squad like Nico Yennaris and Marcos Tebar who'd have walked into the side last season so competition is fierce."
The win was sweet revenge for the Griffin Park fans, who saw their side lose 3-0 in the corresponding fixture last term.
England Under-21 midfielder Alex Pritchard got the second, latching on to a through ball from half way and crossing for substitute Stuart Dallas to drill home at the far post with almost his first touch.
Moments later it was three, Andre Gray outstripping three defenders in a diagonal run across the box before firing a rasping drive beneath keeper Carl Ikeme.
Brentford rubbed the visitors' noses in it in injury time when Judge slipped late substitute Jota in with a delightful reverse pass for the Spaniard to slot home across Ikeme.
Warburton was pleased with the way his side responded to a physical Wolves side, who collected four yellows for their troubles.
He said: "We know the way we want to play and we stuck to it.
"It is an intimidating place to come and the fans are right on top of you, so if you put the two together and don't let your levels drop you we know we can compete with anyone."
