‘Wolves can still improve, and that’s what we’re going to do’ sums up the mood inside Molineux after a dismal opening month of the season. With zero points from four games, Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League table, yet their skipper remains optimistic that fortunes will change.
The Portuguese coach Vítor Pereira has endured a nightmare start since replacing Gary O’Neil, with the team struggling for cohesion, confidence and end product in front of goal. But speaking during the international break, Wolves’ captain struck a defiant tone, insisting that the squad and staff are capable of turning things around.
Skipper’s rallying cry: “It’s not the end of the world”
“Of course, we’re not having the beginning to a season that we wanted and that we’ve been training and preparing for in pre-season, so it’s been tough. I’m not going to say it’s easy to start the season, but it’s still early and there’s still a lot of time to improve. We know that we are capable of being in a much better position than we are right now, and we have the team and the coach, so we can do it.” — Wolves captain
He admitted the international break may have come at a good time, offering players and staff a chance to reset after a bruising run of results.
“Maybe the international period was something that we needed. We needed a little break, to stop and correct a few things that we were not doing well. It’s not the end of the world. Things don’t look that beautiful for us, but we cannot think negatively, keep positive and keep working hard. We still have a lot of time to improve, and we’re going to do it.” — Wolves captain
A squad finally settled after the transfer window
One point of optimism is that Wolves now have the full squad Pereira wanted after a hectic summer transfer window. With key additions bedding in and no further uncertainty over departures, there is hope that stability will foster improvement on the pitch.
“Now, we have all the players that the gaffer wanted to work with, and this break’s hopefully going to bring good things for us to improve from the last game.” — Wolves captain
Analyst verdict – by John William
Wolves’ situation is already precarious, but perspective is vital. Four defeats from four is alarming, yet the campaign remains young. Pereira’s challenge is to instil resilience and adapt tactically to the Premier League’s demands. Too often Wolves have been passive in midfield and blunt in attack — issues that can be addressed with sharper transitions and greater confidence in the final third.
The captain’s words suggest a united dressing room and belief that results will come. But patience is limited in the Premier League, and fixtures after the break could define whether Wolves’ season stabilises or spirals further.
