Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto: I won’t stress over the Championship table
The Wolves boss has no concerns over the Championship table despite missing top spot.
Cesar Peixoto insists he is not losing sleep over the Championship table after Wolves missed the chance to climb top.
A draw at Wrexham on Saturday ended Wolves’ winning run but extended their unbeaten streak to six games heading into the international break.
The result saw Peixoto’s side miss the chance to go top of the Championship, leaving them a point behind the top three. But the Wolves boss insists his focus remains on the process rather than the league table.
“I look, it is important, but I don’t feel better or worse because of the table. I believe in the process,” he told the Express & Star.
“We always want to win, I think everyone saw a team that wanted to win from the first minute to the last. We deserved to win.
“If we won and went top, then better. A draw is not the perfect result, we want the three points. But a point is important away from home.
“We believe in the process. The team is starting to grow and evolve with the ball how I want.
“And the Championship is very long. I never have stress when I look at the table because the league can change from one week to the next.
“We have to maintain and believe in our process, in our players, our ideas of the game, our hard work, and keep pushing.”
Wolves dropped out of the automatic promotion places and into fourth ahead of the two-week break. However, their six-game unbeaten run has yielded 14 points - half of their 28-point total so far.
Despite feeling his side deserved more from their stalemate at the Racecourse Ground, Peixoto believes the point could prove valuable in their promotion push.
“Me and the players are angry because we feel like we deserved to win the game,” he added.
“We wanted to finish these series of games with a win, but it was not possible.
“But we maintain our unbeaten streak, we have two games after the break at home to try and get six points. This point in the future is going to be very important.”

He said: “I wish them luck with the national team. But I said to them, don’t forget you are Wolves players, don’t forget our goals, our team, our group spirit, and come back fresh and come back as best as possible because we have two games in a row at home to try and get six points in our pockets.”
