Steve Bull: Wolves have nothing to lose against Newcastle - so attack them!

Wolves have an opportunity to continue their momentum when they take on Newcastle United.

The Magpies are flying high and are a very good side who work hard, meaning we will have to be at our very best against them.

I'd go with an attacking side again. If we sit back against Newcastle they will pick us off and score early goals, but if we go at them from the first whistle they won't know what's hit them.

I would put an attacking side out there and go after them from the very first whistle. What have we got to lose?

We also can't be complacent and think we're world beaters because we scored six against Shrewsbury Town, we have to go out there with something to prove and treat it as a do or die match.

If we're complacent they will walk all over us, but if we're aggressive from the beginning then we can shock them.

The win over Shrewsbury will probably be a confidence boost for everybody, including Jorgen Strand Larsen who got his hat-trick.

Fair play to him, he's got his head down and has worked his socks off, despite getting some criticism recently.

I was that happy for him I felt like running down and giving him the hat-trick ball myself!

I respect him for focusing on playing and getting back in the team. I don't think he's had his head turned with all the interest in him.

If you give him service he will score the goals and he proved it against Shrewsbury.

We can all argue about the level of the opposition, but you still have to do the business.

We were very professional and Rob Edwards played a strong side, which I hoped he would do but I wasn't sure he would!

It was a good performance and you could see it coming in the weeks prior. 

It's always easier against lower league opposition when you have more time on the ball, but it will be much tougher against Newcastle.

Meanwhile, there are a few players expected to leave and we need to do some business, but it will be hard to attract players to come to the side that are bottom of the league.

But if they can see the potential in this club, they will come to this club. We love hard-workers and welcome players with open arms and the fans will introduce them to a great club and great culture.
