Wolves boss Bruno Lage wants to be assure of Premier League safety in order to play as they want.
Lage believes Wolves going past 40 points in the Premier League with 10 fixtures remaining should fill them with confidence for the rest of the season.
Reaching the 40-point barrier carries with it the expectation a side has secured their top-flight status for another season, and Wolves moved on to 43 by drubbing Watford 4-0 on Thursday evening.
“That's the target," he said. “That's the pressure I put on my players.
“I did a lot of pressure at half-time because I think at 3-0 you can sleep a little bit, not just us, also our fans, it was a quiet atmosphere and I think the players realised a bit, but I said I want to score more goals.
“It's not about result, it's about the performance. When we don't have the ball, we need to be aggressive, we need to play compact, we cannot give spaces for the opponent and when we have the ball – go there.
“We have 43 points and that should give us the confidence to play with the ball the way we want to play."
