"Nothing surprises me about this league, everybody seems able to beat everybody else, it's a very strange league," said Paul Sturrock.
"I think Wolves are playing mind games with themselves at the minute. They have an excellent squad of players and it will just be a matter of time before they kick on again."
He added: "We didn't expect to score in the first 40 seconds. Over the game our goalkeeper hasn't had many saves to make and our back four and midfield did their job properly, they worked very hard."
The victory will come as a huge boost to Plymouth's survival hopes and provide Sturrock, a manager whose position seemed under threat not so long ago, with a more comfortable future.
But even he admits they must now follow it up with positive results in their next two games against Watford and Reading.
"Now the difficult stuff starts, instead of knocking a house down, we've got to go and build a couple," he added.
"We've got to get the points in these next two games to kick us into the 40s and then the 50s (point categories) - mid-50s is 'hallelujah land'."
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was scathing towards his team.
"We were hopeless, let's cut to the quick, the way we played we were hopeless and we didn't deserve anything from the game.
"I could be talking about penalty decisions, the scramble at the end - but the reality is we didn't deserve to win and Plymouth did.
"We gave them a goal, let them sit back and we didn't play well."
