Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone


Rayan Aït-Nouri warned Brentford that Wolves will go all-in for the three points tomorrow in a bid to end the season on a high.


The Molineux boys are on a three-game losing run having been dispatched 4-2 by Crystal Palace on Tuesday.


But Aït-Nouri insisted that overall performances haven't been as bad as some results suggested this term for the west Midlanders.


And that well before Gary O'Neill got the P45 in late December.


The French-Algerian exclusively told Capital Football: "Its crucial to end on a high.


"There's one game left against Brentford and the best thing would be to give our fans a good result as a send-off.


"And then we will see.


"It's true we started poorly but I think luck was not on our side!


"We showed we can beat top teams and went on a six-game winning run which had never happened to the club beforehand!


"I think we went on to prove that we're a team that can be reckoned with.


"Taking the last three games into account it's true that results were poor... there's a game left to play and all that matters is shine in front of our supporters."


Beating the drop has always been the be all and end all though.


And the left-back said: "The team's fortunes are what matter the most and the goal has been met by securing survival!


"It was complicated, very complicated.


"But we picked ourselves up and produced outstanding performances. We did justice to ourselves and now it's paramount to finish on a high."


Yet the ex-Angers star refuses to hold sacked boss O'Neill accountable for how things have gone.


He said: "We are not blaming O'Neill, us players need to take a lot of responsibility for how things went.


"Vitor's arrival changed the landscape, he has given us tons of confidence.


"We've tried to put it into practice on the pitch and it goes without saying that he's made a huge impact.


"The coach, the staff, the players and fans  deserve to finish well and beat Brentford."


Aït-Nouri is a miniature of the team he represents. He was on the end of a torrid afternoon against Chelsea in August and responsible for a couple of hat-trick hero Noni Madueke's goals. But just like Wolves he's bounced back.


He said: "It's true that it wasn't my best game but I've proven throughout the season that I was there and that I could deliver top performances.


"I wanna carry on and do the best I can for this team."
