Wolves Under-23s are becoming a team – Sellars

Unbeaten in Premier League 2 Division Two since October, Wolves are also on the verge of qualifying from their group in the Premier League Cup following a 2-0 win over Norwich City last Friday.

Their next assignment is a return to league action at their counterparts from Aston Villa on Monday at Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training ground.

“As always, you are constantly changing at under-23s level,” said Sellars.

“Come the end of August and then come the end of January, you generally know what you’ve got.

“What’s really pleased me is the work we’ve done over the last few weeks to try and set them into a team has really come through.

“We’ve been very patient and asked them to be patient – we look actually more of a team.

“We had some very good individuals but now as a team, I’m really enjoying watching us play, we’ve played with a lot of control.

“In terms of dominating the ball and creating chances, I’m really pleased at the moment.”

Pedro Goncalves and Carlos Heredia scored Wolves’ goals in their 2-0 victory over Norwich, four days after they had beaten Newcastle by the same score at the New Bucks Head – José Xavier’s close-range effort and a Curtis Good own goal proving the difference.

Sellars added: “Obviously the performance on Monday against Newcastle was, again, very strong.

“And then on Friday night I thought we were excellent – our most consistent performance and we dominated large parts of the game, especially in the first half.

“It was probably the best we’ve played all season.

“We also had a game yesterday against Kidderminster with the 23s and some first-team players as well to try and get the lads some minutes.

“We’ve got lots of games coming up at the moment so it was great for them.

“Again, I thought they performed really well and once again the performance particularly in the first half was excellent.”

With several players departing on loan from Wolves, opportunities have risen for some of their other players. “We’ve had a really big squad this year but we’ve always known that we’ve had a big squad of some good players,” added Sellars.

”The first part of the season was an opportunity was for some of the more senior players to prove themselves and get themselves out on loan.

“During that time, I kept saying to the younger ones that their chance would come in January.

“People like Carlos (Heredia) has waited, been very patient and kept working – he’s played the last three games and in each game, he’s been getting better and obviously his goal against Norwich was excellent.

“The lads are getting their opportunities and taking them.”
