If Conor Coady was the personification of Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves, then there is a growing argument that the same could be said for Pedro Neto and Bruno Lage's new version of the side in old gold.
Where Nuno’s teams were built on organisation, solidity and communication, his successor craves fluidity, excitement and creativity. The departure of Coady - from the outside at least - sent shockwaves through the Premier League, but those inside Molineux felt it was a necessary move to facilitate the dawn of a new Wolves side.
Having slumped over the line at the end of last season, it was clear Wanderers needed a reset if they were to continue on their upward trajectory. There are inherent risks and the four at the back will see opponents create more chances - evidenced in the opening day defeat to Leeds United.
