It is a big blow losing both Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan to injury, but if we were fighting relegation I’d be a lot more worried!

We still miss these players because we need a focal point and someone to put the ball away inside the box but we’re still in a good place, in the quarter-final of the FA Cup and looking ahead to a big few weeks. Gary O’Neil will have given the players a rest this week and I hope they benefit from it.

We have that mouthwatering quarter-final coming up, but the players won’t be thinking about that just yet, it will be in the back of their minds.

After this weekend, all focus then turns to Coventry. Hopefully we can bring them to Molineux and teach them a lesson.But the players can’t get ahead of themselves just yet. O’Neil will make sure they take every game as it comes.

The performance at Newcastle was lacklustre. There was no sharpness and we had a lot of possession but didn’t do anything with it. But we won’t win every single game and to achieve our dream of European football, we have to get behind the team in every fixture, win, lose or draw.

I backed us to get something at Newcastle, but we played three games in six days and you can tell it took its toll. They’ve had a week off, so hopefully they’ll be on the front foot against Fulham and bounce back. It is a game we should win on paper, but Fulham are a good side and will still be a challenge.

The fans have a big part to play at home. They’ve been instrumental this year, whether we’ve been winning or losing, the fans have got behind the team. They have to keep doing that until the end of the season and the players will keep giving everything they can.
