Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has set his team a target of three wins from their last six matches to ensure Premier League survival.<\/p>\n
The Black Country outfit are bottom of the table with 32 points, but have a game in hand on most of their rivals.<\/p>\n
McCarthy believes a total of 41 points would be enough to preserve their league status.<\/p>\n
“If somebody gave me that now, I’d take it away and we would be absolutely safe, no question,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Three wins out of six games, I’d take that all day long. If it takes more than that, we might all have problems.”<\/p>\n
McCarthy added that whoever ends up in the bottom three at the end of the season can consider themselves unlucky, such are the fine margins involved this year.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think there are bad teams at the bottom of the league,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I know it means that the three teams that go down are the three worst teams in the league, but I don’t necessarily think it means they are bad teams.<\/p>\n
“We’ve all had good results against good teams and I think the league is definitely tougher this year.<\/p>\n
“Somebody’s got to be sad and unlucky though, and lets hope it’s not me.”<\/p>\n
Wolves face Fulham on Saturday, with Mark Hughes’ men looking for a win to push them over the 40-point mark.<\/p>\n
With half of the league yet to reach that tally, McCarthy believes that the tight nature of the division will help his team in their fight for survival.<\/p>\n
He said: “There’s never been a time when the bottom team can be so confident that we can get out of it, which we are.<\/p>\n
“Everybody still believes they’ve got the chance to get out, and we’ve got to maintain that belief.”<\/p>\n
Wolves lost 3-0 at home to Everton in their last game, which was just under two weeks ago. Despite this result, McCarthy feels his players have not been feeling sorry for themselves.<\/p>\n
“The sun’s shining and it’s been great,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve been training well and there’s been a good spirit around the place.<\/p>\n
“The atmosphere is terrific, but Saturday afternoon counts, it doesn’t matter what you do days or weeks prior to the game.”<\/p>\n
McCarthy also took time out to send his best wishes to Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier, who was admitted to hospital on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“It is a stressful environment to work in,” McCarthy said.<\/p>\n
“We all know it’s a brilliant environment and a hugely rewarding job, but when it’s tough, it does put the stress on you.<\/p>\n
“Villa and Gerard were having a bit of a tough time of it, they’re fine now, I’m certain, but I just hope he’s fine because he’s a good pal of mine.<\/p>\n
“I hope he’s well. It’s not worth your health, that’s for sure, as much as we all love the job.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
