Jez Moxey reassures Wolves fans

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey has assured fans 'we will get it right' ahead of the clash against Sunderland.

Manager Mick McCarthy admitted the game is a 'must-win' after nine defeats in the last 11 games.

Ultimately, chairman Steve Morgan will fire the bullets, but Moxey is anxious for the game not to be seen as a potential 'tipping point' for the manager's future.

He said: "I believe it will turn as long as people stay together. The chairman is a quick learner, and he realises what we have got in Mick.

"It's a really important game but no one is panicking and there's lots of football to play."

And the chief executive stressed a number of mitigating circumstances.

He said: "We have to remember that we're still a relatively inexperienced team in the Premier League and we're in the depths of an injury crisis.

"We're missing three of our starting back four from last season in Jody Craddock, Christophe Berra and Ronald Zubar, when Ronald was one of our better players.

"Jody has been out for six games and we've missed him a lot more than people think.

"We're without three midfielders in Karl Henry, Adlene Guedioura and Dave Edwards and when you think of how we play - 4-5-1 - Dave is ideal."

"Adlene was just breaking through and was about to make a real impact when he broke his leg.

"I've heard Chelsea say that they're not the same team without John Terry and Frank Lampard - well, we're without five or six players.

"So we remain confident that when we get our players back fit we will be stronger."
