Wolves’ leading scorer Kevin Doyle is calling for his side to bounce back after their disappointing defeat to Wigan at Molineux.

Wolves were well beaten 2-0 and defender Richard Stearman was sent off as they dropped to 19th in the Barclays Premier League.

Their major problem is their lack of potency in front of goal – they have netted just 17 times in 21 league games.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, who scored 25 times last season, looks devoid of confidence and squandered a chance from ten yards out with the goal at his mercy.

Doyle said: “We had a result like that against Birmingham a couple of months ago and then won the next three games.

“That’s our aim again, to be positive, and come back. There are plenty of games to go.

“Obviously we are disappointed. We were not jumping around the dressing room.

“It is not nice to lose but we realise there is a long way to go and we have to try not to let it get us down too much.

“We have to try and be positive and win next week and the week after.”

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy wants to sign Hull midfielder Stephen Hunt and Doyle would welcome the arrival of his former Reading team-mate.

He said: “Hunty would be a good signing. I know him very well. He would add quality to the squad. We’ve got a decent squad but you always need more.

“It is going to be a tough second half of the season and in the next couple of weeks a lot of teams will be strengthening.

“I am sure the gaffer will add a couple.

“Hunty’s style of play would suit us because we all try to keep going to the very end. The manager signs players like that.”
