Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui believes his decision to keep faith with his starters paid off against Aston Villa.
The Premier League side were humiliated by Brighton in their previous match, losing 6-0 to the Albion.
However, Lopetegui did not choose to ring in the changes for their next game, which they won 1-0 against Villa.
Speaking with reporters, he said: "Sometimes after a defeat like Brighton, a lot of people have doubts about players, but my analysis was that, I have have to change for this match, maybe I have to change myself too.
"That's why I tried to put the confidence in the team and highlight that maybe you can have a very bad day, sure, but the confidence in Jose is the same, and in the rest of the team.
"We knew that if we wanted to go up the table we had to defend better, at the same time going to the opposition goal and being aggressive in their box. If you don't defend well in the Premier League, you lose, this was our first aim.
After, I think we did very good defensive work, but always trying to be very aggressive in the opposition box.
"We have won away too, and we've drawn but it's true in the last matches we have got the clean sheets at home and not away.
"It's not easy in the Premier League for clean sheets because all the teams have quality. Analyse each team at the bottom, and they have players with fantastic names. This is the strength of the Premier League."
