Dave Edwards: Midfield men will be key for Wolves
I’m confident Wolves can follow up their excellent performance at Manchester United when they host Brighton on Saturday.
Gut-wrenching though Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford was, there were huge positives for Gary O’Neil and his players to take.
I’ve seen a few people say it was the same old story from last season, with Wolves not having a goalscorer to finish things off. But I actually thought it was a lot different in that where Wolves were previously a little too slow and pragmatic, on Monday they took every opportunity to drive at the opposition and as a result carved out several good chances. Keep that going and the results will come.
Brighton will be another tough game. The Seagulls are a top, top team who I think will be challenging the Premier League’s top four this season. I really do believe they are that good.
But even if Wolves have to spend a lot of time without the ball, I think it will suit them. With the players they have, I think they are made to play on the counter and Monday night was an example of that.
