Steve Bull: Keeping Jorgen Strand Larsen was essential for Wolves

Keeping Jorgen Strand Larsen was essential and Wolves stood firm.

We could not afford to lose him and I'm really pleased he will be with us moving forward.

We have also signed some competition up front in Tolu Arokodare, who will put Larsen under some pressure.

I've watched some clips of him and he's a raw centre forward, which I like! He will put his body on the line to score a goal.

Having competition is always important and that feels like a good signing to me.

Wolves didn't sign a midfielder and fans are frustrated, which is understandable. I'm like the fans, I just want the best for the club.

I don't think them not getting a midfielder was due to a lack of effort, but they need to sign the right players that want to be here.

I think the other business we have done is good, although we did need more Premier League experience.

I hope these new lads adapt quickly to make sure we're still a Premier League team.

It was a frustrating game against Everton last week and I can understand why fans are unhappy.

If you score two goals at home, you expect to win, and it just shows how our back three are not as tight as they have been and are making silly mistakes.

But it's the start of the season still and players take time to gel. It's going to be the same for the new few weeks - or months - for the players to get up to speed.

In the first half against Everton we looked a little bit disjointed, but when Vitor Pereira made some changes we looked settled and took the game to them. Maybe we should have got something out of the game.

We need to find our form sooner rather than later and the international break will be good for the team to take stock and regroup.

The games will come thick and fast again and upcoming matches against Newcastle and Leeds will be tough - we don't want to be bottom at Christmas again!

We need to get points on the board and take our chances in the next few games. 

It's going to be tough but we have to stick behind them. I heard a few boos last week when Andre was taken off, but it's the manager's decision and I didn't think it was the right time to boo.

He kept us up last year and he knows what his players can do. He made some other good decisions too, like bringing Fer Lopez on, who changed the game.
