Since goal ace Bakary Sako limped off in Wolves home victory against Bristol, Wolves have scored five times in 120 minutes for the first time this season since back-to-back victories against Bristol City and Birmingham in December. Jurickson Profar Jersey The previously maligned Stephen Hunt has laid on three of those goals, but more importantly his dogged, determined approach has proved contagious and Wolves are finally doing the very thing that wins you games working hard for each other.Between Hunt, Ebanks-Blake and the two goal scorers yesterday, Sigurda son and Doyle, Wolves have a front four that looks fit to ask questions of any Championship defence. Matt Doherty and Jack Robinson are also making a difference by supporting the attack at every opportunity and launching into challenges with no hesitation.Its all simple stuffThe players didnt all of a sudden become terrible players overnight and they havent all of a sudden become good players overnight. Fundamentally, theyre working harder for each other all over the pitch. The position we look most lacking in is centre Tony Phillips Jersey midfield; unsurprisingly where Jamie OHara is lumbering around looking a shadow of his former self.In fact, Boros equaliser in the first half came from a momentary lapse where lazine s crept into Wolves play, with OHara arguably at fault. It was yet another example of nobody wanting the ball from the throw-in in our own half and both centre midfielders being happy to hide behind their markers and watch us throw the ball away.However, the resolve Josh Phegley Jersey of the players really shined through. Our second goal, Sigurda son dancing through Boros defence before rounding the keeper after an exquisite Ebanks-Blake back heel, was genius, but in order to score that kind of goal, players have to be moving off the ball with intent.I dont think that happens as much when the likes of Sako are involved. He always wants the ball to feet. Unfortunately, when youre under the cosh and dont have technically gifted pa sers, those kind of players can be a hindrance.Nothing to loseSince the away victory at Millwall, there has been a nothing to lose mentality about Wolves as we have started attacking teams and not being scared of losing football matches. Thats a far cry from the against Cardiff when we lined up with five defenders and allowed the Joakim Soria Jersey league leaders to rule the roost on our home turf.Hunt, having been booed by the fans for his performances when unfit and subsequent comments in the pre s, has embodied this mentality. Hes won the fans back in double quick time with three a sists in two matches. The other reliable face for Saunders has been Ebanks-Blake, chipping in with goals and match-winning performances; again, a player you feel who has nothing to lose as he is a sured a move to the Championship (more specifically to reunite with Mick McCarthy at Ipswich) regardle s of Wolves fate.The fact is, weve got everything to lose by not going out to win. Look how easily Boro scored twice against us. The fact is, we went and scored one more. Birmingham stuck Andrew Triggs Jersey four past promotion chasers Crystal Palace on Friday night, so theres no way we should go to St. Andrews looking for a shut-out. It wont happen. We need to keep the momentum with us and look to control the game. When we dont do that, we really dont know how to deal with it.
