Wolves won't shrink from Premier league challenge
Wolves' recent inability to convert excellent performances into victories will not erode their mental strength, manager Mick McCarthy said.
McCarthy's team have only won one Barclays Premier League game since the opening day of the season despite some stirring performances against big-name opposition in recent weeks.
Wolves play Arsenal at Molineux, but McCarthy has warned that his team will be under more mental pressure in the coming weeks, when they face sides closer to them in the table.
He said: "Playing against teams when you're expected to get beaten, the pressure is off a little bit and you can handle that. You can get the ball down, pass it and play well.
"I think the difficulty will be playing against Bolton, Blackpool, Blackburn and Sunderland, if those are the teams you're expected to get the points from.
"That's when you've got to be able to play well and pick them up. Those games are going to be just as difficult, for different reasons, because the pressure and the focus will be more on us."
