Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has challenged his side to respond to falling to the foot of the Premier League table by taking three points off Fulham when the Cottagers visit Molineux on Saturday.

Wigan Athletic’s win over Blackpool at the weekend saw Wolves drop to the bottom of the table once more, despite having recorded victories over the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and both Manchester clubs over the course of this season.

And with six games remaining with which to secure Premier League survival, McCarthy is looking for a response from his side.

“The players have always responded when it’s been a kind of ‘must-win’ game” McCarthy told the Express and Star.

“They’ve always done it, and there’s no better time for a special effort to come than the Fulham game.

“They enjoy each other’s company and they fight for each other and there’s a good team spirit. But they’ve got to have that desire in themselves.”
