MANAGER QUOTES
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo: “We look forward to playing at Molineux again in front of our fans. Their support has been unbelievable,” explained Nuno.
“We’ve been away for three games in a row so it will be good to get back to the stadium with a good atmosphere.
“I still believe we have to focus only inside the pitch, this is where you can affect everything else.
“We know we’re going to have the support so it’s up to us to do the job well.
“Performing well goes beyond entertaining people. Perform well. Do your tasks, help each other to achieve the same objective.
“The team is more than one performance. If you’re not doing well then your team mate will be next to you to achieve this level of performances.
“It’s a big challenge for the boys, each game they try to do better than the last one.
“They believe in that and that shows when they bounce back from bad performances and we achieve what we want but there’s still a long way to go.”
Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: “This is a very tough and important game for us. The last few games we have not been at our best level. This is a great chance for us to show a different face.
“We didn’t show enough of a good performance and we must be brave, confident and we must push to work hard.
“We must work in a positive way to get to our highest level, this is our job.
“We are 13 points behind Wolves, six points behind the play-off spots and have two points less than we had after 15 games last season, but there is a long period ahead of us.
“We know we are not at our best level, but we cannot be depressed. It’s a frustrating situation for myself, my players and our supporters but we cannot give up and there is a long way in front of us.
“We deserve the criticism around us and this is natural.”
