Dave Edwards: Wolves must use head over heart in key Molineux run

But you can never look too far ahead. The first game of the run, at home against Portsmouth on Tuesday night, feels so important.

If Wolves can go and win it and do so convincingly, just like they did against Stoke and West Brom, it will make the two games to come against Watford and Cardiff much easier to prepare for.

Last week’s defeat to Bolton would rapidly become a distant memory and you would feel there is real momentum again.

It is crucial Wolves play with their heads and not their hearts. There was too much of the latter against Bolton and if we are being honest, it has been a feature at Molineux for some time.

I think the only exception was the Nuno era, when Wolves were unapologetic about the way they were going to play. They weren’t going to get sucked in to pressing all over the pitch.

When there is a little bit of adversity, there comes a desperation to get back into the game. Those are the moments you have to be present and realise you have the better players and the tactics to win the game. You can’t get roped into the emotion.

Wolves have to trust they have a better team, player for player, than Portsmouth and if the tactics are right they will win the game.

If they do that, all of a sudden they find themselves in fourth in the table, three points off the top.

After what has been a topsy-turvy couple of weeks, it would not be the worst position to be in with two more home matches to come against teams in the bottom half of the table.

This game against Portsmouth can really set them up nicely.

In terms of team selection, Cesar Peixoto is still searching for the answer up front in the absence of Raul Jimenez.

Adam Armstrong has not been able to grab the shirt with both hands. He has had chances but missed chances - that one against Bolton last week felt a big turning point in the match.

Hard as he works, you feel they are missing a focal point at the top end of the pitch.

Sean Neave got his chance at Burnley and I thought he did pretty well. He was physical, held the ball up well and was quite no-nonsense in the way he went about things.

Off the back of his first performance against Everton in the cup last month, I thought he had a decent game against Burnley, where he offered a lot to the team.

Maybe he is the answer? That said, it is a lot of pressure on a young player’s shoulders. Hopefully he can keep improving with each match and if he can get himself on the scoresheet, it should do wonders for his confidence.

Outside of Armstrong and Neave, there aren’t too many solutions. Tawanda Chirewa obviously came on at Burnley and did well, scoring a goal. But I’m not sure he is the answer at centre-forward long-term. Marshall Munetsi did it in the Premier League but again, I’m not sure.

Munetsi’s return to midfield at Burnley gave Wolves a bit more control and that feeds into another selection headache surrounding Jordan James.

On an individual basis, I thought James played well against Bolton after being given his first Championship start of the season.

But for whatever reason, Wolves just didn’t look quite so balanced in the middle of the pitch.

I feel Peixoto has to find a way to get James in the team consistently. Munetsi offers Wolves so much out of possession and they do look a better side with him in it. So is there another position James could come in and play?

That’s another conundrum for Peixoto to ponder.
