Steve Bull: Strong team selection needed to ensure Wolves end the season well

Wolves will need to be at their best against Brentford and it will be interesting to see the team that Vitor Pereira selects.

Personally, I would name the best XI to give us the best chance of winning the game.

The fans have been fantastic all year, they've stuck by the team through thick and thin and they deserve a proper performance. 

The atmosphere at Palace on Tuesday was fantastic and I hope we can recreate that at Molineux with the players giving us something to cheer about on the last day of the season.

We don't want to end the season losing four in a row, the players can't be thinking about their holidays, go out there and give 100 per cent to get a result.

Our fans have often travelled away for the last game of the season but this year we're at home and they deserve a reward.

Taking that momentum into the summer is important too.

Playing in the Premier League next season is a massive plus and there's already some good feeling because we achieved that, but I also want to see a good performance on Sunday so we can finish this campaign on a high.

We will need to be better than we were against Crystal Palace, however.

It was a poor performance and looked like an end of season game that everyone wanted to end.

Crystal Palace had their party and Wolves were not good enough.

I can understand, in a way, what Pereira was trying to do. He was trying to give some of the bench players some game time so he can assess who will be here next season.

We're already safe from relegation so we can afford to do that, but you also want to go out with a bang and we need to do that on Sunday and get a win for the fans.

We were sloppy, we didn't concentrate and made too many mistakes. 

There were some positives and when players like Cunha, Semedo and Joao Gomes came on they showed the quality that their team-mates have to compete with.

It's hard for the players on the fringe because they don't know what their futures hold, so I can understand that performance to some extent.

Pereira wanted to see what they could do and prove they want to be here next year, it's up to him whether they took that opportunity.
