Wolves caretaker boss Steve Davis is excited leading the club against Chelsea today.
Following the parting of ways with former boss Bruno Lage last weekend, Davis – who has managed the club's under-18s for the past three years – and under-21 head coach James Collins have been tasked with leading the first-team in their trip to west London.
Davis said, “It's been a long time for me as a fan. I've supported this football club since six, so 50 years now, and I can't describe how it feels. My dad brought me as a boy back in the 70s, so I remember a lot of good teams they've had here and although I've had my favourites, this is probably the most talented I've seen technically. Having been here for a week, they're fantastic people as well.
“I came into the club four years ago after Nuno had taken them up to take the group who were not longer required in the Premier League and it's so different. The technical side of the club, the players they've brought in have really raised the ability. As a player myself, when you train with those players, you become better and you have to become better because they rub off on you in a positive way. But what I've seen over the last four years has been exceptional from a fan's point of view.
“I have also seen some great players in the past, John Richards being a favourite one of mine, along with many others, but the group we have is very capable and what they've done over the last four years, successive seventh place finishes, is exceptional from my point of view as a supporter. But obviously, we're disappointed at where we are at the moment, and we want to get back to that."
