Wolves manager O'Neil introduces 'daylight glasses' to players

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil has introduced a bizarre new method to get his players an advantage in late games.

O'Neil is looking for every possible way to ensure his team has an edge in Premier League games.

He is said to have got his players to wear “daytime glasses" ahead of a coming game against Brighton.

The idea is for the players to use the glasses for half an hour pre-game, as it keeps them sharper.

Humans are said to become a little less alert and more fatigued as the daylight fades.

Per The Sun, he said: "That's not me, that's something the medical and fitness staff do.

"I think they're called daylight glasses.

"There's not too much daylight at the moment, and especially with evening games when it gets dark your body gets tired and gets ready for bed but we need to be fully alert, so they help with that.

"The medical team spoke to me about them, and I had no issues with trying them.

"Normally if things like that aren't working, then they get dismissed fairly quickly. But the boys are still using them.

"We're trying to make marginal gains.

"I don't think they're a magic wand that fixes everything but they're part of the lads being professional and giving themselves the best opportunity to be in the best physical shape."
