Wolves boss Rob Edwards has vowed they will fight until the end after a hard-fought point at Everton.
Young star Mateus Mane was on the scoresheet again as they bounced back from an early Michael Keane goal.
Edwards insisted afterwards: “I’m pleased that the lads are responding and we’re seeing performances and fight. We’ve had the time of a pre-season with them and we’re starting to see a lot better performances. There is still a lot of time and a lot of points to play for. It’s a very, very difficult challenge for us, obviously, but we’re going to continue to fight, we have to.
“We’re all professional, we’re competitive, we want to win games.
“We’re not going to roll over and we’re going to keep fighting all the way until the end of 38 games, no matter what’s happened. That’s all we can do.”
On the game, he analysed: “The performance in the second half I thought was good.
“We’re up against Everton at home and they’re 1-0 up, it’s a difficult place to come. I thought we were playing pretty well but didn’t necessarily have the same cut and thrust we’ve had in the other games. To take something from it after being 1-0 down means it’s three games in a row we’ve taken points.
“We probably looked a bit jaded. It’s been a busy schedule, we were asking a lot of them.
“We had an 18-year-old who looked tired in the first half, Jhon Arias looked tired, so credit to the lads, we’ve got to take positives, because, maybe when we’re not at our best, we still took something from the game.
“I was a bit frustrated with our start. The staff sensed in the warm-up that we were a little bit flat. I tried to get into them before the game. I think we started flat and at half-time it was evident we needed to inject a bit of life and something into us.
“We made a tweak and I thought it had an effect. We started to get more control and look a bit more dangerous. Once we went to a four and brought Jorgen on, it was an instant impact. It was a brilliant goal and we were pushing. How the game ended, with them down to nine men, it’s frustrating because we didn’t capitalise more.
“I felt we played into their hands a little bit once they went down to nine men. We were probably over keen to either work the perfect cross and not put it in the right positions or putting it in from a bit too deep and didn’t work them enough.
“They’ve got a lot of experienced defenders who are happy defending the box in a block.
“They can buy a bit of time, they’re happy with balls coming in from certain areas and we probably played into their hands without working them side to side enough.
“We put Pedro Lima on to go wide with crosses to shift them, but we didn’t quite do it well enough.”
