Stephen Hunt has insisted Wolves are ready to unleash Kevin Doyle and Steven Fletcher up front together in playing 4-4-2 this season.

Doyle, who missed Saturday's 2-1 win at Ipswich with a minor back injury, has played on his own up front for much of his two years at Molineux, while £7million club-record signing Fletcher only came good when Doyle was missing through injury in the run-in.

But winger Hunt, now fully fit himself after a stop-start first campaign at the club, believes manager Mick McCarthy will try to accommodate both more often than not in 2011-12.

The 29-year-old said: "We've got strength in depth now, but it's about getting the right formula and the right shape so we can play 4-4-2. We seem to be able to find little spaces so we're getting used to it again.
