Ward keen to prove critics wrong
After slipping into the relegation zone with just two points from their last six games, the 24-year-old Dubliner knows that Wolves survival hopes are already being written off in some quarters.[LNB]But he insists there is no "doom and gloom" at Molineux and that there is still a strong belief in the camp that Wolves can win their fight for survival.[LNB]Ward, who needed a pain killing injection in his knee to face Birmingham last Sunday, is hopeful that Mick McCarthy's men can complete a league double over the Londoners having won 1-0 at White Hart Lane earlier in the season.[LNB]He said: "Obviously, Tottenham are a big side.[LNB]"But we turned them over down there and there is no reason why we can't do it here.[LNB]"We are in the bottom three and people are already going to be writing us off as one of the main relegation candidates so, we in a sense, we have nothing to lose.[LNB]"We are going to go out there and fight with every ounce in our body and be as[LNB]adventurous as we can be to get out of this relegation zone.[LNB]"We still feel that we have got every chance. It is so tight at the bottom. It is probably as tight as it has been for years.[LNB]"There are six or seven, maybe eight sides that could all be dragged into a tough relegation battle."[LNB]Wolves have failed to pick up a victory in the league since beating Burnley on December 20 and Ward added:[LNB]"We know what a difference a win can make.If we had beaten Birmingham on Sunday it would have sent us right up the table.[LNB]"We may be in the relegation zone but, because it is so tight, we all know what one win can do for you.[LNB]"We are finding it tough getting a win at the moment but once we do get it then it will be all to play for.[LNB]"So there is no doom and gloom here and we are looking to get a positive result against Tottenham and if we do then we could find ourselves outside the relegation zone.[LNB]The 24-year-old admits that any points his side can secure in their next few games could prove to be crucial.[LNB]"Hopefully we can now get a few decent results under our belt and kick on coming into a vital period," he said.[LNB]"The next three home games against Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea are going to be tough.[LNB]"But after that we have got a run where we would hope to take points in those games."[LNB][LNB] Wolves v Tottenham.
