Conor Coady reveals his plan to cure Wolves' post-Wembley hangover

Wolves captain Conor Coady has vowed to pile on the misery for out-of-form Brighton.

The two clubs missed out on an FA Cup Final appearance with losses to Watford and Manchester City respectively in this month's semis, and neither has picked up a point since returning to Premier League action after their Wembley heartache.

Albion's hangover has seen them crash at home to Bournemouth and Cardiff; leaving them fourth-bottom and in danger of relegation ahead of Saturday's trip to Molineux.

Promoted Wolves are comfortably safe with 47 points in eighth place and still have an eye on a Europa League place, so Coady is demanding a strong finish over their remaining five games.

The defender said: “We've got to end the season in the way it deserves.

“We're looking at Brighton now, we need to make sure we're ready.

"The target is beating Brighton.

“Everyone talks about finishing seventh and it'd be fantastic, it really would, but we can only take it a game at a time which is what we've done all season. That's what has got us to this point. We'll keep on doing that and see where it takes us.

"The clear goal now is get back on the horse and win.

"People talk about seventh, eighth, it doesn't really matter for us. We look at Brighton. That's the next one, as long as we improve then that's all we want to do."

Wolves' past two league defeats have come against strugglers Burnley and Southampton. Nuno Espirito Santo's side have also lost twice to already-relegated Huddersfield, been beaten by Brighton in October's reverse fixure and defeated away to Cardiff.

Their form against the Big Six this season, in contrast, has seen them get wins over Liverpool, Manchester United (twice), Chelsea and Tottenham and draws against Manchester City and Arsenal.

Coady, 26, admitted: "We've got to get better. We need to look back on these games and see where we're going wrong and try and put it right.

"It's a big week for us and we need to take advantage of it.”
