Wolves' Ryan Bennett: "We'll stick to our beliefs"
Defender Ryan Bennett says Wolves will stick to their beliefs as they look to bounce back from consecutive defeats.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lost 1-0 at Brighton on Saturday and slipped to 10th in the table.
Wolves dominated for spells at the Amex and produced almost four times as many shots as the Seagulls.
However, Glenn Murray’s strike early in the second half was enough for Brighton to earn all three points.
Bennett said: “It’s a tough one to take. We did dominate the game, created enough and didn’t take our chances.
“You look at the two defeats we’ve had – take the Watford one out of it – Leicester away and Brighton, I don’t think you’ll find anyone to argue we weren’t the better team.
“That’s the harsh reality of the league.”
Bennett also scored a dramatic last-gasp equaliser, with his left-footed shot superbly saved by Brighton keeper Mat Ryan.
“It came on my left foot, when I hit it I thought it was in,” Bennett said.
“The keeper’s made some good saves, there have been some clearances off the line – on another day we might go and win it.
“We created enough chances, we had enough possession of the game to make it pay, and obviously we haven’t done that.
“We knew the way they’d play. You look at a lot of their games and it would probably be similar, but we stuck to what we believe in and we had chances.
“The keepers made some good saves, clearances off the line from headers and free kicks, all sorts, but that’s the way they play and credit to them for that, they stuck to what they believe in as well.
“Of course, these things happen but we’ve got to bounce back strongly because we’ve got two tough games coming up now.”
Those games are against the two North London sides, with Spurs the visitors to Molineux this Saturday night before Wolves travel to face Arsenal at the Emirates on the following weekend.
Bennett says Wolves will stick to what they know.
“We’ll evaluate it and work as hard as we do, that’ll see us through,” he added.
“I think it’s the first time we’ve lost back-to-back games in a long while, so we know we need to work hard again this coming week and put that right, as quick as we can.
“We stick to what we believe in and we do that throughout the season.
“You’ve seen on Saturday that they’ll be no one coming away thinking that we didn’t deserve the three points, but that’s the way it is and it’s the tough reality of this league.
“It doesn’t always happen for you, we know we’ve got to go out there and hopefully luck will be on our side on another day and get the points to total up to what we need come the end of the season.”
