Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp believes Wolves will be just fine now in their bid for safety following huge back-to-back wins over Chelsea and Brentford.
Wanderers have pulled seven points clear of danger after Saturday’s 2-0 win over the Bees.
Julen Lopetegui side turned in one of their best performances of the season, with Diego Costa grabbing his first Wolves goal and Hwang Hee-chan also on target.
And Matheus Nunes’ stunner against Chelsea was enough to seal all three points there.
It is two huge results for Wanderers, who had really been looking over their shoulder.
Lopetegui said after the win over Brentford that Wolves are still crossing the river, and that there are ‘crocodiles’ in that river.
Wolves are not out of the woods yet. But the picture looks a lot better now compared to a couple of weeks ago.
And Redknapp has seen enough to suggest Wolves will now be absolutely fine.
Speaking in a chat with the UTCAD – AFC Bournemouth Fans Channel, he said: “Wolves will be OK. Wolves are picking up results. They’ve got some quality players. Lots of top Portuguese players.
“I think Wolves will be OK, a big result on Saturday for them. They’re almost out.”
Up next for Wolves is Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Another three points would take Wanderers up to 37 points, which would be a very healthy haul indeed with six games to go.
Wolves must keeping pushing hard for safety, it’s not over yet
Wolves have had two brilliant results to put a bit of daylight between them and the relegation zone.
It is absolutely paramount now that the level does not drop.
It isn’t over yet, and we have seen Wolves look to be pulling away only to be dragged back in.
Wolves are in a healthy position no doubt, and many will share Redknapp’s view.
But no one can second-guess the Premier League, and Wolves are not completely out of the woods.
A win against Leicester though would be absolutely huge.
