Wolves boss Rob Edwards has been speaking to the media before Friday's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Liverpool at Molineux (kick-off 20:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Edwards confirmed they have no new injury concerns following their match midweek, with just Andre set to miss out because of two bookings in previous rounds.
After taking seven points from three league games against teams in the top six, the Wolves boss said it has taken "a lot of hard work" but it is "nice to have some rewards in points" and his side "deserve a lot of credit for competing with the top teams".
On the character being shown by the players: "We have a bare minimum – our non-negotiables. Sprint recoveries, work ethic, duels. The sprint effort is now night and day. We are in control of those things. We can't always promise we will be great with the ball, we might make mistakes, but what we can control is how hard you run and work. That stuff is why over the past 15 games or so we have been more competitive."
Playing Liverpool for the second time in the space of four days, Edwards knows the "scale of the task" and they have to "respect" the Reds as a team: "They will want to get the win and want to prove they are better after Tuesday night, but we have to try to make them relive it."
On squad rotation for the FA Cup tie: "We made some changes knowing what was coming up… It is hard to prioritise one game or the other. Now Friday is the most important game of our season. Tuesday was the most important of our season at that moment. So it is really difficult and about picking a team to win a game of football."
Edwards insisted the players are ready for the "big challenge" of the quick turnaround in matches, as it is "not hard to get up for Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round under the lights at Molineux".
On staying in matches until the hour and then making changes: "Against some teams we have conceded early and made it challenging. We don't want to give teams a helping hand. We have to be in it but not to be seen as negative. If we have a platform build off then there is the pressure on the other team as they have to beat Wolves."
