Coady praises Wolves reaction
Wolves defender Conor Coady felt his side showed what they are made of by getting back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at home to Cardiff City at the weekend.
The Midlanders had gone eight games unbeaten in all competitions before they slumped to a 1-0 defeat at rock-bottom Huddersfield Town a week ago.
We've been on a run that we've enjoyed, but we didn't play well at Huddersfield and we needed to put it right.

However, with the likes of Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Matt Doherty, Jonny Castro Otto and Rui Patricio omitted, they struck back quickly to see off the Bluebirds and stay in seventh place in the Premier League standings.
Coady told the Express & Star: "It was pleasing to win how we did and it could have been more.
"We've been on a run that we've enjoyed, but we didn't play well at Huddersfield and we needed to put it right.
"The message was to focus and not get complacent in what we were doing. We needed to bounce back."
Meanwhile, Molineux head coach Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed that making a number of changes for the win over the Bluebirds was not about sending a message to players who had underperformed against Huddersfield.
He added: "We don't have to pass the message that way. We speak, we have dialogue.
"We are all aware of what happened at Huddersfield, we didn't perform well, but it was nothing to do with that. We go straight and I say what I think."
Next up for Wolves is a tough trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to take on Chelsea, with the Blues having been beaten 2-1 at Molineux earlier on in the campaign.
The visitors are 3/1 to earn a draw on Sunday and 5/1 to keep a clean sheet, with Chelsea 13/2 to win the game 1-0.
