"For all of us there is hope" - Wolves defender not giving up on survival

Ladislav Krejci says he will not give up on a miraculous survival attempt this season after Wolves' win over West Ham.

A first half hammering of the Hammers secured all three points for the first time in the Premier League this season and took Wolves to within 12 points of safety.

They are still odds on to be relegated, but Krejci is prepared to fight until it is mathematically impossible and has belief they can turn it around.

"For all of us there is hope," the summer signing said.

"We still believe, this is also why we get to this point, because I think we don't believe we will still struggle and we don't see the energy on these things and because we believe, we get four points from the last two games.

"If we continue and build on it, we can get more. 

"Until the mathematic chance (of survival is gone) we will be there, I will believe and I believe also the rest of the team will have it like this."

Krejci adds that head coach Rob Edwards 'believes the most', as he praises the system from the last two games that has earned Wolves four important points against Manchester United and West Ham.

"From the beginning he's had a lot of energy, a positive mindset and ideas how he wants to play," Krejci said when asked how Edwards has been to work with.

"In the last games, we were still finding a way, how our face will be, we start to find the system, the formation, the guys, the rhythm, and from the last games, we built on something.

"The last two games was the same system and we know each other more in the positions, you can know more things, because the things are the same, again and again and you can build on it.

"He's the one who believed the most, and it's very important because if he doesn't, then us players don't believe.

"He's the pyramid, and I think he's doing very well and we are happy for him."

For Krejci it was his first ever Premier League win since signing for Wolves in August and it was a nice moment for the team to end that run.

When asked if he had forgotten what a win felt like, Krejci added: "Of course, not forgot, but the feelings afterwards that you can see the others smiling with you.

"They are smiling, you can be happy after something, you know. Not forgot but it was a very long time."
