Nuno salutes the crowd after Saturday's win over Sheffield United

A comfortable 3-0 win over Sheffield United on Saturday saw Wolves maintain an 11-point lead at the top of the Championship.

Nuno's side produced what was at times a spellbinding performance.

And the usually reserved head coach conceded he's enjoying himself in the Wolves hot seat.

"We are focused but I can find some enjoyment from it," he said.

"Every moment of my life is to enjoy what I do.

"I am a positive guy.

"We are here to enjoy ourselves and the fans do too, especially when we have a full house.

"When a goal goes in I'm the happiest man in the stadium."

After a mini blip Wolves have won successive games and kept clean sheets in both.

With just 16 games to go their lead looks unassailable but Nuno continued to stress how far Wolves had to go.

"It's the same situation, nobody is talking about results," he added. "What we care about is who's up against us and QPR is now the only focus of the team.

"Am I the only one speaking like this? The boys speak like this. Look at them after the game they're working haad.

"Sunday they will rest and Monday they will work hard again – there's a long way to go and everyone knows that.

"It's the philosophy, from day one until now nothing changes, until the end.

"We prepare and work the same way over and over again.

"We've done things right. We've been working really well for a number of weeks now.

“The spirit of the side is strong, even from those who did not play in this game.

“Everybody works as hard as each other.

“The only question is ‘how’, how can we make it better. I have a lot of options to give us solutions.

"It's a team that wants to get better and go ahead. The 'how' is the question – how we play to make it better."
