Steve Bull sends bold message to the Wolves players ahead of Brighton showdown

Wolves take on Brighton at 2 pm BST on Sunday, and now Molineux legend Steve Bull has sent a message to the players ahead of the clash.

There is a lot on the line for Wolves. They are still chasing their first win, and with thoughts of relegation lingering, they need to get one sooner rather than later.

Kaoru Mitoma is a doubt for Brighton, giving a major boost to the Old Gold if he does not play. Meanwhile, Joel Veltman is also ruled out of the match.

Wolves have their own injury worries too. Matt Doherty has had surgery on a broken wrist, putting him out of action for weeks. Meanwhile, Jorgen Strand Larsen is not fully fit yet, and Toti Gomes has the flu.

Despite the injuries to the Seagulls, they still pose a big threat, but Steve Bull believes Wolves should be brave.

Steve Bull says Wolves should be unafraid of Brighton

The position Wolves have found themselves in is far from where they want to be. Talk of relegation has become a real possibility.

With just one point from six games, a win against Fabian Hurzeler’s side would provide a great deal of confidence for after the international break.

It will no doubt be a tough game but Steve Bull has now sent a defiant message to the Old Gold’s squad. He has told them not to be afraid of Brighton ahead of Sunday’s clash.

The Wolves legend was speaking in his weekly column for the Express and Star and said, “We have no reason to be afraid and should take all the positives from the last two games into this Brighton fixture.

“The Seagulls can be all or nothing – either brilliant or not the best – and I’m hoping it’s the latter!

“We need to turn up at our best on the day and show the fans we are improving.”

Wolves have no doubt shown character over the last week. The performance against Tottenham was exceptional, and the final result of 1-1 was flattering for the Lilywhites.

Vitor Pereira’s side should have got maximum points, but Joao Palhinha’s moment of individual brilliance secured a draw for Spurs.

Wolves must be brave in attack

Steve Bull’s call to not be afraid of Brighton comes at a good time. The Old Gold must show bravery in attack.

They have scored just four goals in six Premier League matches.

Pereira does have options to provide a more creative spark up top. Fer Lopez leads the league in expected assists, and he could be a good choice to play against the Seagulls.

Wolves have scored from every big chance they have created, but the problem lies in creating them in the first place, and the Spaniard could solve that.

Vitor Pereira is not afraid to find solutions, and the recent switch to a back four proves so. There should be full confidence that the Portuguese can find a way to change Wolves’ attacking fortunes.
