Dave Edwards: Gary O’Neil has turned Wolves around and won over fans

The way Gary O’Neil has turned Wolves around since his arrival and got the fans onside has been absolutely fantastic.

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil impressed again with his side’s performance against Newcastle but, right, Pedro Neto’s hamstring injury is a big concern

I feel the general consensus of the fans is that they really believe in what he is doing and they have changed their thoughts compared to when he first arrived.

I have said in my column in recent weeks how impressed I have been with him tactically and he has shown that game after game, and he did it again on Saturday.

He has shown that he can be a match for any Premier League manager with the way he sets a team up and with the changes he can make.

It is important he keeps building on that, but also he has installed a resilience and belief into this Wolves team that has not always been here for the last two years or so.

I think the fans are really buying into it and I don’t think Wolves would have been able to come back from the decisions they were on the receiving end of on Saturday in years gone by.

But they bounced back and they looked like they were the team that was going to go on and win the game, they did not have that character about them last season.
