Dean Saunders insists Wolves won't go down
Bullish boss Dean Saunders today vowed Wolves will not go down as he prepared for the crunch visit of Hull to Molineux.
Wolves go into the first of their final four fixtures tonight, two points adrift of safety, second from bottom of the table.
Victory tonight could lift Wolves up to 19th – but Barnsley, Peterborough and Blackburn would all have to lose in what is a full Championship programme.
All three of their nearest rivals are at home, with Barnsley hosting Derby, Posh Brighton and Blackburn entertaining Huddersfield.
Saunders left Doncaster to come to Wolves in January, and with Rovers still top of League One under Brian Flynn, there is a very real prospect of his past and current teams passing each other.
But the confident Molineux chief insists that will not happen.
He said: "Seeing what they have done just gives me more belief – because what I did there was right and it gives me more belief watching them – I'll be proud if they get promoted.
"Would I regret the decision to come to Wolves if they go up and we go down? No. I couldn't turn a club like this down – I don't think many people could.
"But we won't go down so I won't have to feel that way."
Saunders admits he has thought about relegation.
He said: "It's been lingering over us since I got here. Everybody's thinking we're too good and we have got too many good players.
"You win four and you're halfway up the league. That's how close it is."
Saunders is also confident the players can return to winning ways despite back-to-back defeats.
He said: "The players have some pride – they don't want to play in League One. Apart from Saturday, every time we've needed a win we've got one.
"You might as well pack in now if you think the worst is going to happen.
"It's a possibility – I'm not blind to it. But we've shown we can win matches and the players have to take that into these games.
"We've been playing well but we hit Bolton at the wrong time and then lost a crunch game on Saturday that could have gone our way.
"But, after we had Jamie O'Hara sent off, the most encouraging thing for me was we were the better team from then on."
