Wolves boss happy with side's form

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has boosted his improving team by declaring 'play like that and we will stay up.'

McCarthy's side remain second bottom of the Premier League and are two points from safety after yesterday's pulsating 3-3 draw against Tottenham.

But Wolves stretched their unbeaten run to three games - their longest since August 28 - to make it five points from matches against Albion, Blackpool and Spurs.

And the manager believes safety will be within their grasp with more similar performances over the final nine games.

He said: "It was a really good show by us and with that team spirit and level of performance I think we'll stay up.

"I keep saying it and I do believe it, but we'll have to keep producing that now for the final nine games."

McCarthy again revealed his admiration for his players after they twice came back from being behind to become the best home team below the top seven.

He said: "To keep coming back from behind shows what a great group of players I'm lucky to have.

"I'm delighted the players get credited for their quality and I'm always proud of their effort and commitment and the way they play.

"And I admire them because they don't leave anything in the dressing room when they go out on the pitch.

"But they have played far better than just giving effort and commitment."

"We played well and it's not just about us running around chasing Tottenham - they had to stop us as well.

"It suited them because they could catch us on the break."
