Steve Bull: Wolves' forwards are on top form

All three of Wolves’ forwards have been absolutely brilliant.

Cunha, Neto and Hwang have this bond at the moment; this relationship where they know where the other is.

We’ve had it before with Sako, Dicko and Afobe. They had a bond and knew where to find each other on the field.

At the end of last season and start of this season, Hwang hasn’t been playing in the right position, but he’s now playing in the right position and is playing with a smile on his face.

When you’re a player, you know where you’re best suited and I think the manager has now found Hwang’s position where he’s comfortable and most threatening.

He’s playing freely, scoring goals and creating goals. He’s come into his own.

There were doubts in the summer over where Hwang would fit in but he’s in incredible form right now.

On the other side, Neto has been wonderful and I have to credit Gary O’Neil because all of the players are playing with confidence right now. They seem happy, we’ve found our balance and fair play to O’Neil for doing that.

He needs time to make it work and over the last few games he’s got the team in a good place. They have strong characters in the side and he’s getting the best out of them.

Cunha is gelling everything together up front too.

I don’t think he’ll score 15-20 goals a season, but when he runs at players it’s scary and he’ll help set his team-mates up.

He’s doing the job the manager is asking him to do and the combination up front is working.

Confidence is important for any side and O’Neil has brought that back. He has belief in the players he has and is starting to put his mark on Wolves.

I think the fans are starting to take to him, like the players have, and we need to make sure we all get behind him.

With Bournemouth coming up next, which is an absolutely huge game, I just hope Wolves’ international players all come back fit and firing.
