Wolves have Premier League self-belief - McCarthy

20 August 2010 13:30
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is pleased his team are picking up the "experience and understanding" he hopes will safeguard their place in the Barclays Premier League for another season. McCarthy's men confounded the critics to earn a second season of top-flight football last season - and they made a good start to the 2010-11 campaign last weekend with a 2-1 defeat of Stoke at Molineux. Wolves face Everton at Molineux on Saturday and McCarthy believes his men have the belief they can make the right impression against the Premier League's top teams. "It's your own self-belief as a player," he said. "You look around at your team-mates and think 'we've got a decent team here'. "That helps you not to worry about opposition and maybe helps you not think about it when you're playing at Everton or playing at Manchester United. Actually we've got a decent side. At least we've got players who have played in the Premier League and know they can play in the Premier League. "We've got that. It doesn't guarantee us anything but at least we've got a bit of experience and understanding."
