Comeback man Michael Kightly is desperate for success but believes Wolves don’t need to go ‘gung-ho’ in search of the vital win they need against Cardiff tonight.
Kightly, who is set for his first start in five months, believes Mick McCarthy’s men can make the play-offs – by not panicking.
“It’s a must-win but there isn’t any need to go all gung-ho,” said the winger.
“We didn’t do that against Ipswich – we had to be patient, and it’s about being professional and going about things in the right way.”
Kightly added: “We’ve just got to take things game by game, starting with tonight, and we’ve got to win them,” said Kightly.
“If we can do that, then perhaps we can put pressure on the teams above.
“Hull are playing Crystal Palace at the weekend, and both of those teams will be desperate to win. That will be a big game but first and
foremost we’ve got to win ours, because if we don’t then no other results will matter.” From Wolves’ perspective, Kightly says the dressing-room spirit is the best he’s known and he believes the players have the character to bounce back and reach the play-offs.
“The players here are all very good at lifting each other’s spirits,” he said.
“There are a lot of good characters around the club and when it’s needed the players will support each other.
“It’s the best team spirit I’ve known since I’ve been playing and that really helps us.
“We’ve got a young squad and we’re getting better, game by game. This time next year we’ll be even better.
“Sylvan’s made a great impact and he’s young, I’m still young, then there’s Andy Keogh and Kev Foley – there are loads of lads of that age and we’re all going to get better.”
For Kightly, the gruelling hours spent coming back from injury were some of the longest of his fledgling career.
“You never want to get injured but that’s
football,” he said. “You can never go through a career without picking something up. That’s the worst one I’ve had and hopefully it’s the last one for a long time. It’s been a frustrating one but thankfully I’m over it now.”
However Ipswich’s last-gasp heartbreak equaliser gave give him ‘the right hump’ with his mum. “My family had come up and when I got home on Saturday I was raging – I’d got the right hump! My mum was saying: ‘What’s the matter? You’re back playing again”, but I said: ‘I don’t care, I want to win’.
“I was disappointed not to have played recently, and then disappointed when I did – I can’t win! That apart I’m absolutely buzzing to be back and hoping to be part of the next three games and hopefully the next six.”

if wolves where more attack minded instead of playing the ball sideways then back side again then sideways again rubbish and make sure that they shoot instead of trying to wall it in theres no need for the players to come out and say so much rubbish mick and moxeycan not blame the fans for not getting behind the players you only have to look at each game and see how many fans are there the blame is soley on his n0 2 oconnor get rid of him and watch us improve
At this time of the season a team needs to be on a winning run, I dont see us doing that. We have already had 43 games to get a winning run going, its to late now, 3 games to go and we are not top 6 standard, that says it all!
What a hero
Will the owner be there to see you play tonight or will he be at Liverpool ?
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofball
youv bin gung ho all season thats why your going nowhere boing boing in the prem we go
HEY MICK RICHARD MONEY OUT OF WORK,WATCH YA BACK BOING BOING
We dont relish going through all that again next season its too harrowing, after all weve posted on here we finish clear of relegation so no excitement there either.
Richard Money would be perfect for the Wolves,he doesnt play players out of position, doesnt have his favourites, looks further afield than Sunderland, and is used to having the backing of a board with no ambition. Problem is the board at the Mol wouldnt have the vision or the guts to take him on board
how can the dressing room spirit is the best youve known, last season should of been the best?, youve got players who deserve to start or even a position on the bench ie rosa, eastwood, little, d jones, those youngsters who put in more than a shift last season. how do they feel when they see so called footballers, those muppet favourites regularly not performing throughout the season and still getting chosen. I would be totally p****d off. MM OUT, WE WANT MCCARTHY OUT SAY WE WANT MCCARTHY OUT. plus it will be interesting to see where morgan decides to attend tonight?
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MICK SAID HE KEPT FREDDY BEACUSE HE SAID HE COULD BE THE MISSING LINK TO THE PLAY-OFFS AND SATURDAY MICK SAID ABOUT FREDDY “IN THE STANDS WATCHING I HOPE” !! MICK DID NOT STOP THE TRANSFER !! MORGAAN DID !! MORGAN GET THIS CLOWN OUT AND KEEP FREDDY AT THE CLUB !! BIG SAM IN !! FREDDY A WANDERER FOR LIFE !!
Gung Ho - dosen’t he play for us ?
INCE AT WOLVES. NO QUESTION!
terryd1ckheadbaggie..why dont you get a job or something like normal people you’re always on here..and why do you take such an intrest in wolves..you comment on every single one of our pages you saddo..you really need to get out more..either that or you’re just an attention seeker..or both..
anyway..should scrape a win tonight but looking at things realistically, I think the playoffs are out of reach..palace are flying and wolves winning three games is a big ask..
hopefully mick will be out and we can bring in some quality players during the summer..if mccarthy goes, theres a good chance freddy will stay as well..
2-1 tonight
KITES YOUR A STAR ITS PLAYERS LIKE YOU WHO CAN TURN A GAME ON ITS HEAD!
THERE IS STILL A CHANCE AND THERE WILL BE UNTIL THE FAT LADY SINGS.
STOP THE BACK STABBING AND THE NEGATIVE TALK GET BEHIND OUR GRACIOUS TEAM.
GO FOR IT LADS WOLVES FAR AWAY AND FOREVER.
LETS JUST HOPE THE FAT LADY PICKS THE RIGHT TEAM AND BENCH.
WOZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Of the teams currently above us we have only won once [Palace away]. Says it all really. 9 points from 3 games and we might just sneak into the play-offs, but even that is unlikely [have we won 3 league games in a row all season?
Roll on next season, this one has been awful!
PAUL INCE
as next manager please
or even
DARREN FERGUSON
not
MONEY OR MCCARTHY THOUGH
i thort him and jarvis linked up really well against ipswich, considering it was the first time. just give them a few games and they will be awesome. All i ask is please give freddy just one full game or a start to prove to MM or us wat he is about. if not then explain why they aint playing him…bad trainer?…dont like him as a player??….as a person?? just explain MM!
U LOT HAVE A CHANCE NO CHANCE
Get behind the BABBIES. How about Super Mick song again.
SAME OLD SAME OLD, AND QUOTING DELL BOY ( THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WE’LL BE MILLIONAIRES ) SEEMS QUITE APPROPRIATE TO ME..ONLY FOOLS AND WOLVES FANS..HAHAHA.
GIVE IT UP MIKE AND LET’S GET RID OF.. MAD MICK THE MUPPET MCARTHY..AND NEXT SEASON WE CAN PUSH ON WITH A MANAGER WHO KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING (PAUL INCE OR BIG SAM).

“It’s a must-win but there isn’t any need to go all gung-ho,” said the winger.
“We didn’t do that against Ipswich – we had to be patient, and it’s about being professional and going about things in the right way.”
Yeah you did not win against Ipswich !
What a bafoon ! Mad Mick and Krazy Kightly a right pair !
If Morgan has any integrity he will show up at the Molineux tonight. Its the perfect opportunity to show his commitment to Wolves & not Liverpool.
Think about Sir Jack’s commitment & how he’d go out of his way to show up.
Simon
Nothing to play for if you ask me but still.
Lets beat the sheep worriers anyway.
See you all there!
save us kites!!! dont give up boys.. we will win tonight and palace will buckle at hull.. lets just hope we do cov on saturday
You stay in the championship, Middle table team,
uncle Jez dont mind,
Still you do have S Ward to come back, that is something worth waiting for.
In MM We Trust
NO EXCUSES FOR MM ANYMORE
INCY FOR MANAGER!!!
is anyone else getting fed up of sandwell town fans coming onto our articles?
can’t you tesco shoppers go onto ur own sites!
you see unlike you we would rather be on our own articles than your desease ridden ones!
kaz get with it.
Here’s a message for peter, muppetout, BigWolf, quality counts, LoyalCannockWolf, we8wba and the rest of you morons who are constantly bashing Wolves. GO AND SUPPORT ANOTHER TEAM, BECAUSE THE LIKES OF YOU DISGUST ME.
A 3-0 win with Kightly back and it’s still on. Even if we don’t go up we have at last got a 20+ goal a season striker in SEB.
None of our stars will be leaving in the summer and neither will MM. So you lot get a life or naff off and slag some other team. You’re not worthy of being called Wolves supporters.
3-0 Yes !! 6 more points and a play off win and THEN I promise to forgive MM
31,goldfish, you got home quik daint ya boing boing going up the mowbury way
