Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes is delighted with the backing of manager Gary O'Neil.

Gomes has started all four Premier League games so far this season.

He told the Express & Star: "Our new manager has good methods and gives us a lot of confidence for the year ahead," Gomes said. “He's really knowledgeable and he just needs a little more time to carry out his work methods, because it's not an easy or a quick process.

“It takes time to get there, so we need to be patient, but I think we're on the right path.

“My English is not the best yet but I'm studying every day. Most of the time I make a decision based on my gut. Sometimes the manager says one thing and I'm the one who makes the final call on the pitch.

“However, it is clear to everyone what his ideas are and what he wants to convey. This is crystal clear, but it takes time, it's not a quick or simple transition."
