On this week’s episode of Wolves Unpacked, James Bird, Editor-in-Chief of Mundial magazine, and Wolves legend Dave Edwards tackle the big summer question: What does Vítor Pereira need to address ahead of next season? Following back-to-back defeats after a six-game winning streak, the lads take a level-headed look at the reality check Wolves have received and what it’s revealed about the squad’s limits. From Brighton’s clever tactical setup and effective man-marking, to the visible signs of fatigue creeping in for the first time under Vítor, it’s a timely conversation on where the team must evolve. James and Dave dive into how Wolves can improve tactically and which key positions need strengthening in the summer transfer window. With Pereira’s controlled, high-intensity style at the heart of recruitment strategy, the duo explore what is required. Dave also shares from his experience why bringing in an older head can be invaluable to the dressing room, and they both weigh up the huge challenge of replacing Matheus Cunha’s influence should the unthinkable happen. Plus, James asks Dave to reveal which signing he feels would be the most important, and the answer may surprise you. This is a must-listen for any Wolves fan looking ahead to a pivotal summer at Molineux.

Join Wolves Unpacked with Mundial magazine’s Editor-in-Chief James Bird and Wolves legend Dave Edwards as they break down another composed and commanding Wolves performance, this time a 3-0 win over Leicester City at Molineux. The duo dive deep into how Wolves are now controlling games from both ends of the pitch, showcasing a clear identity under Vítor Pereira. They highlight the club’s staggering record against bottom-half teams since Pereira’s arrival in January, and why that’s no coincidence. James and Dave debate whether Marshall Munetsi is officially the best off-the-ball Wolves player since Dave himself, while the importance of team chemistry, understanding your teammates’ strengths, and the value of tactical blueprints laid out across 90 minutes are all explored. There’s appreciation for Pablo Sarabia’s influence as one of the squad’s most technically gifted players, and a wider look at how Vítor Pereira has improved Wolves’ spine, both on the pitch and in the community. The hosts discuss the renewed feeling that players want to be at Wolves, and how that’s translating into confident, purposeful football. There’s also a heartfelt tribute to Conor Coady after his warm Molineux reception, a quickfire chat about super subs, and some honourable mentions for Wolves cult heroes Hassan Kachloul, Rajiv van La Parra and Kevin McDonald, because why not.
