Wolves have had a dismal season, but one player has certainly been a shining light for the Old Gold and Rob Edwards will hope he continues to thrive.
Wolves are set for a new era, with Rob Edwards replacing Vitor Pereira in the dugout.
Pereira was sacked after the recent defeat to Fulham, and there is no doubt that Fosun had to act.
Pereira had tried so many different things but was ultimately unable to get results, and the scenes of him getting frustrated in front of the South Bank after the defeat to Burnley were perhaps the beginning of the end.
He will suggest he wasn’t helped by his superiors.
But ultimately Pereira and Domenico Teti both played big parts in the summer that Wolves had, with most of the new recruits failing to impress.
However, that is not true of Ladislav Krejci, who is the subject of positive news tonight.
Ladislav Krejci wins Wolves’ Player of the Month award for October
Krejci was Wolves’ penultimate signing of the summer, joining from Girona on an initial loan basis, at a cost of around £6 million.
Wolves are set to pay a further £20 million next year to sign Krejci permanently.
Krejci is yet to taste victory for Wolves in the Premier League and this is a real shame, because he’s one player who really deserves to have been on a winning side.
After being an unused substitute against Everton, as he’d only just joined the club, Krejci has played every minute of every game since.
Krejci won Wolves’ Player of the Month award for September, underlining his consistency for the Old Gold.
And now, it has tonight been announced that Krejci has also won Player of the Month for October.
It was another bad month for the team as a collective, but fans felt Krejci again stood out, with the Czech international claiming victory with over 50% of the vote.
Krejci a rare positive in an awful season for Wolves
Krejci can hold his head high for his contributions, both recent and since he arrived.
He was very unfortunate to score an own goal for Wanderers in the 2-0 defeat to Sunderland. At least it had no real bearing on the game.
But it was a decent month on the whole for Krejci, who is a rare positive in this dismal season.
Fosun, Teti and Pereira should be all criticised for the summer that Wolves had on the whole, but those involved in the signing of Krejci should get some credit.
Moving forward, Edwards needs Krejci to continue playing at the same kind of level if Wolves are to start keeping clean sheets and getting points.
He looks to be a nailed-on starter, and whoever is next to him or in a back three with him must try and replicate what he’s doing.
