Wolves manager Mick McCarthy understands that his team needs three points from Sunday's clash with Blackburn Rovers but says he will not push the players into anything stupid.
McCarthy's men host Steve Kean's Rovers in a potential relegation battle and although maximum points would ensure safety, the Wolves boss is aware that a point could be enough so is certain to try and avoid an unneeded defeat.
"It's a winner-takes-all clash for survival but no-one wants a silly defeat either," he said.
"I'm sure both teams will be conscious of that. Chasing a game and getting beat by any silly number suddenly could make life very uncomfortable.
"They won't be playing 4-1-5 and getting at us because that just won't happen."
He added: "It will be a nervy weekend for five teams.
"I've talked before about the need for cool heads and calm heads - that's my role, making decisions when I have to.
"When they go right, it's great and when they don't, people say I don't know what I'm doing."
