Hennessey not worried by results

Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey says Wolves are not concerned about their winless four-game run in the Championship and are enjoying the pressure of being top.

Wolves still lead by five points after a home defeat to Preston and three draws in their last four league games.

They now face Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Saturday before a crucial league meeting with second-placed Reading.

"We haven't won in four games but it's not like we've been playing badly," Hennessey told the club website.

"We've just got to carry on going and enjoy the position we're in."

Wolves' last league win came at Doncaster on the Saturday before Christmas. And they were looking good in their last outing at Bristol City on Saturday only to let a 2-0 lead slip and end up drawing 2-2.

Games like these next two are what it's all about and we'll spend the week preparing properly like we always do.

"Everyone was devastated when we got back into the dressing room," added Hennessey. "But, despite the disappointment, it was another point gained.

"We just have to keep it going and use it as extra motivation for the Reading game."

Before they meet Steve Coppell's side, Premier League strugglers Middlesbrough are due at Molineux in Saturday's Cup fourth round clash.

And Wolves will look for a repeat of the form they showed in winning their delayed third round tie at local promotion rivals Birmingham City last week.

"We want to progress in the cup," added Hennessey. "And it will be a good game to have ahead of going to Reading.

"Games like these next two are what it's all about."
