Nuno pledges to fix Wolves' problems

Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Fulham was a third consecutive match without victory and has allowed second-placed Cardiff to close the gap to six points.

Wolves will look to get back to winning ways against Reading at Molineux this weekend and Nuno said it would be a 'good week' on the training pitch to work on their defensive and offensive issues.

"We can breath and refocus again," he said.

"Fulham is over now. Now it's our work to analyse and Monday will be good for us – this week will be good for us.

"Of course we're going to fix the problems. When don't we do this? We always do it, we find the right solutions.

"The Championship is one of the most difficult competitions in the world, it's very, very demanding and a high challenge for us.

"We count on (the fans) on Saturday because together we are stronger.

"We're going to show the character and bounce back."

Diogo Jota was dropped for the first time this season on Saturday. Nuno said of the move: "It's decisions. A game plan, a squad, the players that came in on Saturday, we count on them and players on the bench, everyone is important and we still have a long way to go."

Leo Bonatini replaced Jota but he continued his barren run in front of goal, which stretches back to December 4.

Benik Afobe has also yet to find the net since returning on loan.

Nuno said of the pair: "They are there in the last touch.

"It's something to adjust. They find the spaces, they combine, they work hard.

"Let's put ourselves to work again at every aspect that we do on Saturday. It doesn't stop."

And the head coach insisted Wolves' big lead at the top of the Championship hadn't caused his players to lose focus.

"Honestly, no," he said. "The table is not what we focus on. We don't care about that.

"We have a long way to go, we're building something that requires always focus – the work. It's not where we are in the table, it's how we play."
