Wolves manager Terry Connor insists that his team have the ability to avoid relegation, despite their crushing 5-0 home defeat to Manchester United on Sunday which left them bottom of the Premier League table.
Connor took over the side in February following the departure of Mick McCarthy but the change in manager hasn't improved their fortunes as they've collected just a single point in his four games in charge, conceding 14 goals in the process.
The 49-year-old was a surprise appointment to replace McCarthy having previously been part of the coaching set-up under the former Ireland manager as it was expected that the board would prefer a new regime to come in and make drastic changes to the club.
The manner of the defeat to United saw the Black Country side drop to the bottom of the table on goal difference and they have now gone nine home games without a victory.
Connor and his men face a tough run-in to the end of the season with fixtures against both Arsenal and Man City in April but they do have chances to take points as they face a number of their relegation rivals between now and the end of the season.
Despite the odds being stacked against them, the boss is confident they can maintain their Premier League status and has called on his players to club together and show some spirit in their remaining games.
"Of course the stats don't look great but we still believe we can turn it around and I still have confidence in my ability to do that" he said.
"The message to the players and to everyone is keep believing.
