Under-23 preview | Wolves vs Fulham

Wolves under-23s are back at Aggborough this afternoon as they take on Fulham in the hope of returning to winning ways.

James Collins’ side have suffered back-to-back defeats in Premier League 2 Division 2 for the first time this season, and the head coach has called for his players to improve defensively ahead of the visit of the Cottagers to Kidderminster later today.

Their opposition are coming into the game on a string of successive losses, with the young whites falling 5-3 to Sunderland last time out and having not picked up a point in the league since a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion at the end of September.

With the game to be played behind closed doors, supporters can still catch all the action live from Kidderminster on Wolves TV.

The match will be streamed online from 2pm, with Mikey Burrows providing full match commentary and available to watch on wolves.co.uk, the Wolves App or the Wolves YouTube channel.

WHAT THE BOSS THINKS

On importance of a clean sheet against Fulham

“They’re a good group of players, they’ve got some talent, they know the system, they know the shape, and they keep playing, so I never expect them to down tools.

“I said to them that if this was the first-team, they’ve got to be careful because losing two on the bounce can become a habit again, so we’ve got to make sure we come out, be solid, get a nil, and if you get a nil then you build from there.”
