Cesar Peixoto is calling on his Wolves players to not get complacent and keep improving having enjoyed a three-game winning run ahead of travelling to Wrexham on Saturday lunchtime.
The Old Gold have put together victories over Burnley, Watford, Cardiff City and Bristol City – which saw Sean Neave score his first senior goals – in their last five unbeaten outings and will be looking to add to their points tally when taking a first visit to the Racecourse Ground for a league fixture for almost 40 years this weekend.
Although he admits Compton Park has been a happy place to work in recent weeks, Peixoto has outlined several things he wants his team to develop further if they want to continue challenging for a swift return to the Premier League.
On injury news
“There’s no changes [from Bristol City]. Only Yerson [Mosquera] who has been ill during the week. He was sick with a virus or something like that. Apart from that, everything is the same.
“Jordan [James], I hope he can start training with us after the international break.”
On continuing to improve despite unbeaten run
“I believe in the process. I say this all the time, when we don’t win, people feel like everything is bad. I don’t think in that way and now we’re winning, not everything is perfect either. We have to improve all the time.
“The team has a lot to improve with the ball and defensively, I think we’re OK, but we can improve little things. But it’s better to work with victories, with confidence, the environment is better because the players work very hard to win and we work to achieve these kinds of victories and stay near the top of the table.
“It’s easier to work day by day when you’re winning but the Championship is very long, and we have to stay humble, continue to work hard and try to win the next game.”
On maintaining the wining momentum
“There’s no time for exercises with intensity, it’s only recovery, meetings and going onto the pitch. We can explain the pressing, the spaces we want to find with the ball and what we have to do defensively, but we don’t have time to improve the team or develop our idea of the game through training.
“We only have time to recover and try to get the players as fresh as possible because it’s our third game this week, but we have to make sure the players understand what to expect from the opposition.
“It’s difficult, but the main goal is to find three or four things defensively and three or four things offensively. If you give the players too much information, I don’t think that’s the best way to work. We have all the information about the opposition, but we have to identify the key points and make sure the players understand what we want for the next game.”
On having confidence in his whole squad
“I have confidence in all the players. We have to try to recover everyone and I work with all the players in the same way. They have the same information and I don’t work more with the players who play regularly and less with the others.
“I can put any of the players into the team, and they know what they have to do, but what we lose without training is the timing, the triggers, the timing of when to press, when to drop with the ball, when to find the third man or when to attack the space.
“These are things you have to repeat, repeat, repeat in training. If you don’t repeat them, you can lose that timing. That’s normal.”

On getting back to work after a run of wins
“It’s better. You don’t feel so tired when you’re winning! Sometimes that’s more important than the physical side, but we have a lot of games, and they’re very intense.
“In the last game, I couldn’t manage the minutes of the players who have played the most because we were fighting until the end.
“[For Saturday] I have to look at our whole team, look at the opposition and find the freshest players, the best 11, and the best solution to start the game, but I also have to think about the best options from the bench to help the players during the game and try to win.”
On keeping Sean Neave grounded
“He’s stayed normal. He’s 19 years old and he’s scored his first two goals in professional football, but I’m happy for him because he’s an unbelievable kid. He works a lot, he understood what we needed in the game, and that’s important for him and for the team.
“But he has to stay humble, like he was before and he has to continue working, because now a lot of people will be looking at him, and he has to stay humble, stay with the team, play for the team and work for the team.
“He has to keep doing his work because that’s how he scored those goals, so he has to maintain those behaviours in the future.”
