Gary O’Neil has urged his Wolves players to go for one final push this season and make all their hard work worthwhile
Injuries to key players and a 3-0 loss to Newcastle have rocked the Wolves camp, after they put themselves in European and FA Cup contention.
Academy stars Nathan Fraser and Tawanda Chirewa came on at St James’ Park, while 15-year-old defender Wes Okoduwa made the bench for the first time.
O’Neil was delighted for the opportunity awarded to that trio, but urged his Wolves side not to settle for what they have and push for a successful end to the season.
“He’s a good player who is physically very, very good,” O’Neil said when asked about Okoduwa.
“He’s not ready for Premier League football, obviously, but he travelled with the squad with the expectation that he would be the extra man and get the experience.
“He trained with the lads (on Friday) and then Joao drops out and he gets the experience of being sub at St James’ Park.
