Wolves are taking risks again - and it is starting to pay off

It is incredible how the awareness to get into the box has been so poor from Wolves over the past few seasons.

So far this season though, that as changed.

When you are making those types of runs you won't always be found and it won't work 100 per cent of the time.

But what will happen is that if you don't get found on the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth run, is that on the seventh run, the odds are massively in your favour.

What Wolves have been so poor at over recent seasons, is his having strikers not making those runs into the box, or hanging off the shoulder of the defender, and they haven't been arriving late into the box to take chances.

An example of this is, if the winger has it on the right, the other winger should be making a run on the opposite side to gamble on the cross. How often have those things not happened for Wolves?
