Steve Bull: Wolves have set the example to follow
Wolves’ second half at Southampton was a confidence-booster, so let’s see them take the positives from that and do it again tonight against Leeds.
It was almost like the good old days of Wolves under Nuno.
They didn’t perform in the first 45, but they had a right good go in the second and deserved the three points in the end.
It was back to that character we have seen over the last few years, a true never-say-die attitude, and you just hope they can build on it against Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
I’d like to see them fight fire with fire, really. Let’s look to match them up and get in their faces.
We all know Leeds are going to come to Molineux and go for it.
They are never content to sit back and put men behind the ball, so hopefully we will get an entertaining game of football.
The inverted wingers – swapping Pedro Neto and Adama Traore around to their less natural sides – worked a treat against the Saints, with the two getting closer to Willian Jose.
And it would be nice to see Jose have that support again as he looks to get off the mark.
He has looked a bit disheartened when he has been coming off as he has not had a great deal of service.
But he has got to try his best to stay patient because we are not a team that has created a bucketload of chances, so it’s about making the most of what you get.
Fingers crossed, it doesn’t take him too much longer to find the back of the net and really start to settle at Wolves.
The main thing now is trying to find some consistency and having a solid XI.
Jonny Castro Otto has come back from injury over the past few weeks and steadied things, so it would be lovely to see us stick to the same starting line-up for a run of games.
It has been a very mixed season with players going out, new players adapting and, unfortunately, players picking up injuries.
You can see what they are looking to put in place for the future.
There are young lads who should be able to make more of an impression next season and develop into top players, in 12 or 18 months.
But the present is all about having more consistency and looking to have as positive an end to the campaign as possible, with the league being the only thing left for us now.
If we can have the same players on the team sheet week in and week out, picking up some decent results along the way, that’ll do me.
