Doherty wants Wolves to put Europa League success to back of their minds
Matt Doherty has urged Wolves to forget about their Europa League heroics.Rock bottom Norwich travel to Molineux in the Premier League on Sunday after Wolves 4-0 win over Espanyol on Thursday.Nuno Espirito Santos side are on the brink of reaching the last 16 of the Europa League while they are also in the hunt for fifth place in the top flight and a possible Champions League spot.But defender Doherty wants the squad to remain calm ahead of the visit of the Canaries.The second leg now goes to the back of our minds for a while we want to finish as high as we can in the league and see where that takes us, so now well focus on Norwich, the Ireland international told the clubs official site.Thursday was the perfect night for us really, with the scoreline and not conceding as well.We said at half-time that it was really important to us to keep a clean sheet, and we managed to score four at the other end as well, so were in a really strong position.It is Wolves 44th game of the season and they travel to Barcelona on Wednesday ahead of Thursdays second leg against Espanyol.Having started in July at Crusaders in the Europa League qualifiers, Nunos side have remained in the hunt for the top six in the Premier League and he believes the players deserve the credit.Its always a challenge when you are competing like we have since July, this kind of schedule, always tight, said the boss, with only Ruben Vinagre missing with a hamstring injury.We have good routines and character of players, they really respect themselves and for sure are going to be ready for Sunday.Its always a challenge because were going to face a quality team with very good players. Lets try to be as organised as Thursday, if possible better.Sundays game is very tough because Norwich are a very good team with very good players. They play with possession and create many problems, this is our focus, to try to compete well.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
