Leaky Wolves hope to take a leaf out of Boro’s book tonight - according to centre-back Danny Batth.
Boro head to Molineux with the best defensive record in the Championship, conceding three times in their last seven league matches and only nine times all season.
In contrast Wolves have leaked 11 in their last four games, including three during a second-half collapse at Millwall on Saturday.
As Aitor Karanka’s side prepare to launch an offensive on the Championship top two, captain Batth believes Wolves need to tighten up at the back - starting tonight against Boro.
We’ve got players capable of conceding zeros and ones and we can hopefully use that to build on,” Batth told the Express and Star.
We’re a team that was built on clean sheets last season. Coming up a level, that’s what we’re trying to replicate here but the last few games we have been caught cold a few times.
“We’ve got a strong squad here and players that are biding their time waiting for opportunities.
“When they come along players are willing to come in, like Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Tommy Rowe did, and give a good account of themselves.
“It’s a case of maintaining performances and making sure you’re consistent. Players have to know that every Saturday when they’re going out wearing the gold shirt that they’ve got to deliver.”
Batth added the unpredictable nature of the Championship makes tonight’s showdown a tough one to call.
He said: “You look at recent results and who would have backed Cardiff to have beaten Forest? Anything can happen – it’s the Championship.”
