WOLVES AIM TO PUT BITE ON SEAGULLS

NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO fully expects Wolves to bare their teeth again at Brighton today.

The Wanderers boss and his players have spent the week thrashing out what went wrong against Watford last week.

Nuno saw his men’s six-match unbeaten league run end with a limp 2-0 home defeat to the Hornets thanks to goals from Etienne Capoue (above) and Roberto Pereyra.

The Molineux chief

– but told his men in no uncertain terms that he wants the

Seagulls to feel the backlash.

He revealed he had held a postmortem with his players to try and establish why the wheels came off against Watford.

Nuno said: “Sulking is not the answer. My players are honest and there’s no point making excuses. After a bad result and a bad performance you have to bounce back.”

His newly-promoted side were the talk of the town going into last weekend with draws against Manchester United and Manchester City, and sitting seventh in the

Premier League table. “When someone is better than you on the day, you just have to accept it,” added Nuno.

“We look at things as a group – it’s all very open. We analyse our mistakes. We’re grown up people.

“Players say what they feel. It’s not a case of me being angry. It’s normal to want to do this.”

Nuno wants to put the pain of the Hornet sting behind him and press on with trying to repair the damage at the Amex.

He said: “What happened against Watford is over. We didn’t play well... finished. I just want a good reaction.

“We have to perform better and that’s the least I expect from my boys.

“It’s the right mentality for us to have.”

After naming the same side for a record-breaking ninth time, the Portuguese said he has not had fringe players banging on his door stating their case for a first-team recall.

He said: “They haven’t been knocking on the door. And there is no point coming to my office. We do all of our talking out on the pitch.

“Brighton are a very good side in the Premier League who are doing well at home, so we are expecting a very tough game against them.”
