Kevin Doyle remained upbeat after Wolves loss at The Emirates, as the Premiership heads into its final stretch.
Despite being handed a 2-0 defeat from dominating Arsenal side, the Ireland international remained positive about his clubs chances of avoiding the drop as Wolves head into their final 12 games of the season.
“Hopefully we can go on a run like we did at this stage last year and stay up
Doyle, who grabbed the winner against Manchester United the previous week, had a tough afternoon at the Emirates. Playing on his own up front, Wolves were unable to create a single shot on goal while Arsenal attacked at will, forcing a number of impressive saves from keeper Wayne Hennessey.
But the Wolves forward understood that a result against any of the title challengers is always difficult especially away from home.
“Its frustrating to play against Arsenal, they keep the ball so well, they make you frustrated, they make you angry, its not nice.
“I've never got a good result here [the Emirates]” “We've never particularly played too well here as a team with either Reading or Wolves”
Arsenal showed the difference in class between the top 4 and the bottom 3 and the title challengers were in full force as they broke through Wolves' defences time and time again. Wolves were competent on the ball but the Gunners never allowed them to keep possession for very long, pressing and hurrying McCarthy's side forcing them into mistakes and to look for the long ball.
Robin van Persie's two goals were enough to send the Midlanders back to the bottom of the Premiership, but with the first ever Premiership tie between Wolves and West Brom next weekend, the Black and Gold wont have time to wallow in defeat ahead of Sundays 6 pointer.
