KEVIN Nolan is urging Reebok fans to spur Wanderers on to a record Premiership haul.

Secure in the belief that they have booked a fourth successive season of top flight football, the Whites are now aiming for a top 10 finish, which would eclipse anything the club has achieved for 44 years.

They are banking on three home games to boost their points total to the half-century mark but Nolan says they can ill afford a repeat of the boos and jeers they were subjected to after their first half performance against Aston Villa last Saturday.

Players were so upset they went out for the second half wanting to prove a point to their own supporters.

"I was a bit disappointed," Nolan said. "We were 1-0 down and the last thing we needed was the fans having a go. All right, they can do what they want at full-time but at half time we need them to kick us on.

"When we came out for the second half it was to try to prove them wrong, when we should really be trying to prove the opposition fans wrong."

Players and fans were in harmony at Molineux on Monday when Kevin Davies scored the injury-time winner that secured Wanderers' sixth away win of the season. Now they are aiming to improve on their inferior home haul of just four wins, starting with the Spurs game on Saturday, followed by the visits of Leeds and Fulham.

Nolan, who has spoken in the past of his desire to establish "Fortress Reebok", says the fans can play a key role.

"Away from home they have been terrific all season, they always have been," he said. "I just hope that at home we can get them to the point where teams fear us because of the way our fans are and how they get behind the lads. That's all we want.

"I don't think they are quiet but, once we go through a bit of a bad patch, they expect a lot from us.

"We don't mind that but, when it's not going right, we need them to get us going and scare the opposition and to help gee us up.

"We just hope now that they can get behind us for the rest of the season and we can get into the top 10."

Already on 41 points with five games still to play, Wanderers are on course to end the season in their highest league placing since 1959-60 when the team featuring nine of the 1958 FA Cup winners finished sixth.

Wanderers' achievements are astonishing considering they were in such dire financial straits and in the bottom half of Division One when Sam Allardyce became manager in October 1999.

Team spirit has been a major factor in the progress and Nolan insists that an unshakable self-belief continues to drive them on.

He added: "At the beginning of the season everybody had us down as relegation candidates, saying we had too small a squad, but we've stuck together. We've had that now for the past three seasons; we've stuck together and we are going to go on from here, I'm sure of that."
