Wolves captain Conor Coady: We must build on Besiktas Europa League win

Wolves captain Conor Coady says they must make the most of their Europa League win at Besiktas.

Coady says Wolves must build on the famous win and try to go as far as possible in the Europa League.

He said: “I was saying to (sporting director) Kevin Thelwell in the changing room; the distance that this club has come in the last few years is amazing.

“To beat Besiktas 1-0 in the Europa League (a team) who are usually in the Champions League is what dreams are made of.

“But we need to use this as a springboard to set us forward because we do not just want to be a number in this competition, we want to try and go as far as possible."

But honest skipper Coady believes improvements can still be made.

He said: “I think it is always important coming to a place like this that you do stay organised and solid, now we have done that I think it gives us a base for big Willy (Boly) to keep his cool in the box and put the ball in the back of the net!

“It was a good night but a lot of improvement to do.

“We can play better. We did not keep the ball as well as we should have or create as much as we could have. The feeling at the end to win a game like that was brilliant."
