"It was looking like everything was just falling apart. It's not looking like that now."
Rob Edwards' post-match news conference at Brentford on Monday was straightforward but a few lines still resonated.
It was another battling performance, a second comeback from 2-0 down in the last six games, and further evidence of the unit Wolves are becoming under Edwards.
Seven of his 12 defeats came during the club's 12-match losing run as Edwards battled to install his philosophy after replacing Vitor Pereira midway through the streak.
Since then it is five losses in 16 games in all competitions, a run which has left Wolves mid-table in the Premier League form book.
The recovery has come too late and the 12-point gap to safety will be too great to close with just seven games left.
Wolves have delayed relegation, which looked inevitable even in October, as Edwards and his staff get to grips with the squad to change the direction.
Part of Edwards' brief was to restore fight, belief and pride and he has done that, despite winning only five of his 23 games.
Wolves may still be going down but they are not falling apart, with cause to be optimistic.
