Gary O'Neil: Defensive switch will give Wolves more bite

Throughout pre-season Wolves have switched to a back four and although O'Neil admits they will use a back five at times, he believes the change in formation will help his side be even better going forward.

"It will be fluid," O'Neil said when asked about his formations this season.

"I'd like to when we can, and it won't be possible all the time, for us to only have four defenders on the pitch.

"And if we need to support them with someone else, it can be Mario or a wide man tracking back.

"Having five defenders on the pitch does limit what you can do going forward, but we will use five at the back I'm sure, possibly for the first game of the season.

"We'll practice being a back four all pre-season and see what we fancy doing against Arsenal.

"We'll use both, I just think with what we have available to us it will be better if we can be more aggressive than we've been recently.

"It was what I tried to do, my first idea when I first came in was to be more aggressive and maybe the group wasn't quite ready.

"But now we've had a bit of time. I know they can play in a back five, we saw it last year, so it would be silly not to use this pre-season to try and nail the bits we need to be a bit more aggressive."

Meanwhile, Tawanda Chirewa has reflected on the 'proudest' moment of his career to date.

The Wolves forward earned his senior debut for Zimbabwe earlier this summer and also scored his first goal.

"It was amazing," Chirewa said.

"It was one of my proudest achievements I would say, especially having my family coming and watching me play for their country."
