‘Have to win’ - Goalkeeper sets Wolves target after six-game unbeaten streak

Wolves have been told to maintain their momentum as Jose Sa targets promotion.

Jose Sa has urged Wolves to pick up where they left off after the international break as they continue their promotion quest.

Wolves head into the two-week pause unbeaten in six matches after their draw with Wrexham, leaving them just a point off the Championship summit.

They return to action with consecutive home games against bottom-six sides Charlton Athletic and Derby County, and goalkeeper Sa is eager for them to carry their momentum into the next phase of the campaign.

On their unbeaten run, he said: “Of course, going six games without losing is very important. Every time we pick up points and don’t lose, it’s positive.

“This was an away game, so now we need to continue that form after the international break because we have our next game at Molineux, where we have to win.

“We know the supporters will get behind us and push us on, and that’s what we are expecting. We want to win.”

Wolves dominated after the break at Wrexham but could not find a decisive second goal, missing the opportunity to go top and secure a fourth consecutive victory.

However, Sa believes the point was another valuable step towards their promotion target.

“It is one point for our journey. It’s very good for us to continue this run of six games without losing, because for what we want to achieve, it’s very important,” the added.

“We had more possession, more shots and more chances, but normally, we have more possession and shots than our opponents because we work a lot on keeping the ball.

“We are having a great season, but we just need to continue and be more effective in the final third and at the back because we don’t concede many goals.”

Sa, who joined Wolves in 2021, signed a new contract in September following the club’s relegation last season.

Having spent five seasons with Wolves in the Premier League, the Portuguese goalkeeper has started their last 14 Championship matches after initially being on the bench for the league season-opener.

And he believes there is a noticeable difference in the styles of play.

“I would say the Championship is more direct,” he said.

“In terms of physicality, the Premier League was also very physical, but there is a more direct style of football in this league.

“We are fighting to return to the Premier League, which is what we want, and we will continue working towards that.”
