Steve Bull: Spurs a tough test but Wolves must step up

It's always difficult going to Spurs, with their brilliant stadium and decent side, but we've had good games there in the past.

A point on the board would do us the world of good, prove we can be a good side and we will only get better.

There is only so long you can go without getting any points. We're three points off 19th and four points from getting out of the relegation zone - and I would be worried if that was nine or 12 points.

It's still early in the season and a couple of wins moves us out of trouble. Those wins will gradually come and hopefully it's in time before the gap is too big.

Saying that, the defeat to Leeds last weekend was a massive disappointment, despite seeing some positive signs in the first 20 minutes.

We keep saying the same thing every week, but we're giving away goals from our own individual mistakes and that is so frustrating.

It was a learning curve for a lot of the players, but also a tough defeat to take in a big game.

I was absolutely gutted. I really thought we would win against Leeds, but they were sharper than us and were better going forward.

We were too slack in defence and they were the better team on the day.

Ladislav Krejci got his first Wolves goal in that game and he has definitely been a good addition - he's a very talented player.

He's gotten stronger with every game since he arrived and, as I said at the start of the season, it does take time for new signings to adapt and blend with the team.

But once they get to grips with the league I think we have the makings of a good side. I just hope it comes sooner rather than later.

There was an improvement in the performance on Tuesday in the Carabao Cup against Everton, I just wish it was in the Premier League and not the cup!

Both sides made changes and it doesn't matter how many changes you make, you've got to get your side ready and Vitor Pereira is still trying to find his best team.

There were a few players that came in against Everton and stood out, but we also look a little bit vulnerable at times. We need to defend for our lives.

For any player on the pitch, your position is not safe.

There is always someone hungry and desperate to come in and play and the back four against Everton was solid. There were hardly any mistakes and it was a great performance.

The players that didn't play have to take a leaf out of their book.

The win over Everton will give the team some confidence to take forward and we need Premier League points as soon a possible.
