Dave Edwards: Wolves' next two games are an opportunity to make a statement

That international break has come at a bad time after getting their first three points of the season against Southampton, but also backing up the two draws previously.

They have not lost in three games which is good, and they could have kept that momentum going.

On the positive side, the boys who have stayed in the country will come back rested, and you hope the international matches have not put too much exertion on some of the players that have gone away.

It will have given them a lot of time to prepare for Fulham.

I see the next two games. Fulham away and Bournemouth at home as an opportunity to make a really big statement.

They are two teams that are doing well in the league. Both have had lots of positive performances this season. And the Fulham game, as much as you want to play at Molineux and play at home, will probably do them some good with it being away.

I also think it can change the way they approach the game because they do not need to be as aggressive in terms of trying to win the game.

I feel their full focus should be on not conceding and trying to keep a clean sheet and trying to build on that. With Wolves' counter-attacking ability, they will score goals. 

They have done so far by netting more times than any other team in the bottom 12 in the first 11 games.So what they need to do better is clear for all to see.

The majority of the game plan will be about making it difficult and being resilient. Fulham are going to have a lot of the ball. 

If they can just make it difficult for them, sit in deep, make sure the gaps between defence, midfield and attack are really small. Just frustrate Fulham for as long as possible. 

Then we know how good Wolves are on the counter-attack, in particular Matheus Cunha.It could be another chance for Pablo Sarabia to play with his little bit of quality - it will be really interesting to see how Gary O'Neil lines up.I just see it as a really good opportunity.

If you go away and you beat Fulham and you've come off the back of two draws and two wins, everything is looking a lot more rosy.

They are following that up with a game against Bournemouth and while they are in good form it is another opportunity for points for Wolves.

In recent games, they have looked better from a defensive point of view. They kept a clean sheet against Southampton, and while they conceded against Brighton, they looked more resilient in that game. 

The Crystal Palace game looked more like a nervous thing to me.

The onus isn't on them to go and attack, they can sit in and make it difficult for Fulham.

That won't be helped by the injury picked up by Santi Bueno on international duty. It was a real concern when that news came through. 

He is building a really good partnership with Craig Dawson - he is looking very good on the ball.I think he's really come to the fore this season. 

Obviously, with the other injuries, it's been a delight to see he has taken his opportunity so well. If he is missing on Saturday, we don't know the extent of his injury or how long he might be out for, we are just hoping it's just more precautionary and he is available.
