With Wolverhampton Wanderers slipping to an unfortunate defeat at St Mary’s Stadium last weekend as Southampton took all three points in a 3-1 win, the press have been quick to pour over our more recent away form and blow it up given our late and hugely disappointing loss at Wembley Stadium to Watford.
Speaking to the E&S Conor Coady rubbished suggestions that Wolves were suffering from a Wembley hangover and pointed to the simple fact that it is the Premier League, and we won’t always have it our own way.
“We’ve prepared right and I can promise you it had nothing to do with last week. We had a job to do at Southampton and we’ve not done it, it’s as simple as that. Monday and Tuesday was tough, it was quiet, but we got back on it. We’re just as disappointed with this defeat as we were then. It had nothing to do with what happened last week. It was horrible then and this week’s exactly the same.”
Adding.
“We need to look where we’ve gone wrong, it’s not like us. We need to get back to what we were doing. We’ve got to look at it this week and improve, big time.”
With a short warm weather training camp out in Marbella now underway, the spell away should help lift spirits as we look to the run in now.
Wolves have dipped before this season and always bounced back and our FA Cup campaign was unexpected, so whilst understandably disappointing given the manner and lateness of the defeat, we should be taking the positives of getting that far anyway – given how high we are flying in the Premier League.
It’s easy to forget with the signings that we have made that we’re still a work in progress, but there’s absolutely no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater as all teams slump at some point, and it’s simply our turn to wobble again.
