Wolves Express | Reaction to the season openers

Monday's episode of Wolves Express reflects on an opening weekend of differing results for Wolves' men's and women's first-teams.

Gary O'Neil's men fell to a battling defeat at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon as they got their 2024/25 Premier League campaign underway in the capital, while Dan McNamara's side put four without reply past Black Country rivals Stourbridge to get their FAWNL Northern Premier Division season off to a promising start.

And O'Neil is first up on the podcast, as he looks back at his side's loss to Arsenal, reflecting positively on his team's performance and reserving praise for Yerson Mosquera after the defender made his first top flight start in gold and black after two seasons of injury and loan time away from Molineux.

Captain Mario Lemina and legendary Old Gold defender Andy Thompson also feature on Monday's episode, as the pair echo the thoughts of O'Neil and take plenty of positives from the visit to north London, in spite of the opening day defeat.

Women's first-team midfielder Ania Denham, who scored her first league goal for Wolves in Sunday's win, rounds out the podcast as she talks about returning to the side following time on loan at Sporting Khalsa, finding the net within minutes of coming off the bench, and how, despite scoring four, the team could have been a lot more clinical in front of goal.

Released three times a week – every Monday, Wednesday and Friday – Wolves Express is packed with news, updates and exclusive interviews on both the playing and non-playing side of the club, complementing other offerings of Wolves Weekly and Matchday Live Extra.
