Jack Robinson: Wolves have the belly for a fight

Defender Jack Robinson today declared Wolves' surprise win against Hull showed the players care and have the passion for the relegation fight.

Kevin Doyle's 55th-minute lone strike clinched a welcome return to winning ways to lift Wolves out of the drop zone on goal difference ahead of Huddersfield.

On-loan Liverpool left-back Robinson was named sponsor's man of the match for his efforts trying to shackle Tigers danger-man Ahmed Elmohamady.

And the 19-year-old believes Wolves showed the necessary battling qualities after Saturday's 3-1 let down to Huddersfield.

He said: "We showed a massive amount of character. The way the lads played was excellent – we knew we had to find something extra after we lost on Saturday.

"The performance showed our passion and shows how much we care."

Robinson highlighted the improved work-rate of the whole team as a factor in their first clean sheet in seven.

The England under-21 international said: "We worked really hard as a back line to keep them out, but it wasn't just us, it was the whole team," said the England Under-21 international.

"The front players worked hard to stop their attacks at source, and that work-rate spread through the whole team. We got our rewards with a fantastic result."

Robinson also paid tribute to the more patient approach of the team designed by boss Dean Saunders as a way to save energy after Saturday's exertions, with another big game at Charlton this weekend.

He said: "We needed the three points more than ever, so we had a different game-plan. We tried to pass the ball and keep it better and that's what we did, and that's what got us the points.

Robinson insisted Wolves must take their second-half form against Hull into their three remaining games – starting at Charlton on Saturday.

He said: "We have just got to take our confidence into the next game now. Hopefully, we will get another three points on Saturday at Charlton, although we know it will be tough.

"Hopefully, we can use this as a springboard for another good run and get ourselves safe.

"On a personal level, it was great to get Man of the Match."
