Doyle: Wolves must fight for lives
Kevin Doyle has warned Wolves they will still be "fighting for our lives this season" despite an influx of new signings during the summer.[LNB] Republic of Ireland striker Doyle believes Wolves will pay the penalty if they relax and believe relegation battles are a thing of the past.[LNB]Manager Mick McCarthy has a stronger squad at his disposal than the one which avoided a quickfire return to the Championship.[LNB]But Doyle knows Wolves cannot afford to become complacent ahead of Sunday's home meeting with Aston Villa.[LNB]He said: "We've strengthened but they (Villa and other clubs) have also strengthened. It doesn't mean we are going to do better than last year.[LNB]"It doesn't mean we are going to automatically be out of the bottom part (of the table).[LNB]"We are still going to be fighting for our lives. I'm pretty certain of that.[LNB]"It won't be cosy, cosy. It will be difficult. We will see how things develop as the season goes on.[LNB]"But, if we relax and think because we've signed some players, that we are going to do fine this season, that is when it will bite us.[LNB]"We need to keep that bit of fear in us and keep playing well.[LNB]"But in the last couple of league games where we've got beat (Fulham and Tottenham), we could have still easily have got something from those matches."[LNB]Doyle believes Wolves can go into the Villa clash with more confidence after their 4-2 Carling Cup win over Notts County in mid-week.[LNB]The former Reading player came off the bench to score twice - his first club goals of the campaign.[LNB]He said: "It was important to win before Villa game. It wouldn't have been nice to lose three on the bounce.[LNB]"It would have made the next few days a bit more stressful.[LNB]"Now we can go into the Villa game looking forward to it. We were anyway - but it's a good derby game. We played well against them last year."[LNB]Doyle is unlikely to be facing his Ireland team-mate Richard Dunne who is battling to overcome a knee injury.[LNB]He said: "I always like playing against Dunny. It is a fair but tough game and you don't usually don't get the better of him."
