Jack Robinson prepared to get stuck in for Wolves' relegation fight

The 19-year-old left-back made his debut in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Barnsley in place of Stephen Ward – who will be fit for the weekend – and enjoyed a solid start.

Defeat to the Tykes left Wolves in the drop zone for the first time since October 1999 and without a win in 11 games.

But Robinson isn't fazed by the club's plight and is 'up' for the challenge of playing his part in rescuing the team from a second successive relegation.

"Wolves' position in the table didn't put me off at all," insisted Robinson. "I think if I can make a contribution to help the team push up the table then it will really help me.

"When you get the chance to play for a club like Wolves you have to take that opportunity. If we can continue to play like we did in spells against Barnsley, we'll get the results we need and we'll be fine."

"I was happy with my own performance but it's not about that – it's about the result for the team."

Wolves welcome long-term leaders Cardiff on Sunday at a time when the Bluebirds' momentum has been checked by a 2-0 home defeat to Brighton, although they remain five points clear.

And Robinson is looking forward to a positive start as he prepares for his home bow. "I can't wait to play at Molineux," said Robinson.

"Hopefully I'll get picked and it's going to be a massive game in front of the home crowd.

"I definitely think we've got enough here to stay up.

"There are some good players here and the manager has been fantastic with me since I came in."
