Wolves defender Neill Collins claims Tuesday's defeat by Coventry City was just a blip which won't have a serious effect on the Molineux outfit's promotion bid.

Mick McCarthy's side were on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline against the Sky Blues in midweek, but Collins - who moved to the club from Sunderland in January - has backed his team-mates to bounce back and consolidate their place in the play-off places.

"There are probably going to be more defeats between now and the end of the season for us - but hopefully there will not be too many," he said.

"We are not the only team in the Championship going for promotion. There are probably seven or eight more and they will all be disappointed when they get beat.

"Sure, we are all sore losers, but it is important not to get too downhearted when you are defeated. You have to look at the next game and see if you can win that.

"Everyone seems to be beating each other in this league and it is the team that bounces back who triumphs in the end. It's going to be a tight finish."

"But we must now look forward to Saturday's game at Sheffield Wednesday and look to take maximum points.

"We have been on a good little run and we must now try and repeat that until the end of the season."
