00:00Look, not a classic game, but the most important thing was the three points, wasn't it?
00:04Yes, the performance first half I thought was excellent.
00:08It looked like we were getting the team back again.
00:10And, yeah, just confidence for the future.
00:13Yeah, I mean, look, is it done now? Do you think that was a relief?
00:16It seemed like a relief at the end. Did you feel secure?
00:19I think tomorrow night will be the determining factor,
00:22but it looks good at the moment.
00:241-0, not a classic game of football, but it was more important.
00:27Three points won it tonight.
00:29Yeah, it was. Obviously, glad to get the win.
00:32I have to say, though, I think we struggled a bit second half.
00:35I think they made those changes and we didn't really know how to deal with it,
00:38to be honest, Nathan, but got there in the end, you know.
00:42I'd like to see a bit more from Larsson. He's still a bit weak up front for me.
00:45Yeah, and look, someone like Jürgen Strang-Larsson who's come in now,
00:48obviously, maybe, no Mateus Cunha in the side, scored three goals in two games.
00:51It's a big return for him, isn't it?
00:53Yeah, I think we need to live for life without Cunha, to be honest,
00:57and I think we're finding a way.
00:58Absolutely, like he's missed the last three games
01:00and Wolves have put the best run of the season together.
01:02It says something, doesn't it?
01:03It says very much so, very much so.
01:04Other players are stepping up, which is really good to see.
01:07Yeah, in terms of Vito Pereira,
01:10obviously celebrating there really hard on the touchline.
01:12Do you feel he's made a big difference?
01:14Do you feel he's done enough to stay and manage the next season?
01:16Well, I don't think there's any question about it.
01:18I think we've got to continue with the project
01:20and look forward with some optimism, I feel.
01:23Yeah, we'll have to look at times, isn't there?
01:25But at the same time now, that's 12 points.
01:28It's over, isn't it?
01:29They're going to be safe?
01:30It's never over until it's over.
01:32But I think once we've played Ipswich and Leicester
01:34and we've picked some points up against them,
01:35I think I'll feel a bit more comfortable then.
01:37Yeah.
01:38But I think we've definitely improved under Vito.
01:41There's no doubt about that.
01:42They're playing a lot better.
01:44Belguard's a different bloke.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Look, no Cunha for three games.
01:48They've put the best run of form of the season in the seven points.
01:51That's important, isn't it?
01:52It is.
01:53And it says something about the mentality in the squad as well,
01:56playing without Cunha.
01:57And we know he's a great player.
01:58But I think at the end of the day,
02:00does he walk straight back into that team?
02:02I don't know.
02:03There's mixed feelings out there amongst Wolves fans,
02:06whether he goes up, comes back on the bench or starts.
02:09Probably starts.
02:10He'd vanish, but you know.
02:12Maybe they could do something next season.
02:14Do you feel optimistic after such a disappointing season?
02:17Yeah, I think let's not get carried away.
02:19It's a turnaround from where we were,
02:22losing 6-2 to Chelsea first game of the season.
02:26All the events since then, but it's looking good.
02:30And we need to progress.
02:31That's the thing.
02:32It's continual progress, which we haven't really seen for a while.
02:36Go to Woodbridge on Saturday.
02:38Just don't get beat, I guess?
02:39Yeah, it's a not-lose game.
02:41But we've got to go there and think we've got to take some points.
02:44Got it.
