Cautious approach by Wolves
BOSS Nuno Espirito Santo has warned misfiring Wolves they cannot afford to become another FA Cup scalp.
The Premier League club go to National League North side Chorley in the fourth round tonight aiming to avoid a second upset in Lancashire.
Back in 1986, Fourth Division Wolves were embarrassed 3-0 by Northern Premier League Chorley in the first round.
Nuno’s side go into this year’s tie winless in their last six Premier League games, having suffered a damaging 3-2 derby defeat to West Brom last weekend.
The Wolves boss said: “We don’t have to go much further back, recent history in football tells you – especially in this competition – things can happen. We have to be aware of the responsibility we have.
“We will approach it exactly the same as any game, with the search for detail. The difference of the divisions doesn’t show you the game so we have to compete and play.
“We are going to find a pitch which is not in the best condition, we know an effort has been made to preserve the pitch but with the weather conditions it will be very difficult to play football on. We have to adapt.
“The next game is always the opportunity to improve on what you did wrong before.”
