Episode notes

James Bird and Dave Edwards return with another packed episode of Wolves Unpacked, as Wolves hit their stride and build momentum heading into the season’s final stretch.


This week, the lads break down how Wolves made West Ham panic with an aggressive press and showed calmness in control, the importance of ball-playing defenders in baiting the opposition, and the high-risk, high-reward nature of Wolves’ passing game. They also analyse Emmanuel Agbadou’s role in Jørgen Strand Larsen’s goal and discuss Marshall Munetsi’s finishing struggles—but also why his positioning as a defensive number ten is still key.


João Gomes gets plenty of love as the midfield maestro earns a new contract, and the duo explore Wolves’ attacking purpose under Vítor Pereira, how they’ve adapting without Matheus Cunha, and why they’ve proved they can avoid becoming a one-man team. Plus, they reflect on an electric Molineux crowd, Vítor Pereira’s passionate reaction, and Agbadou’s growing confidence in one-v-one situations.


And finally, Dave shares the toughest opponent he ever faced - spoiler: it’s a Chelsea legend.


All that, plus a look ahead to Saturday’s clash with Ipswich Town. Don’t miss it!
