Terry Connor today insisted the amazing comeback at Swansea proved Wolves' renowned battling spirit remains and that any problems in the dressing room have been ironed out.
Connor's side stunned Swansea by drawing 4-4 after trailing 3-0 and 4-1 in a remarkable show of character.
And the manager believes Wolves' famed fighting spirit is still ingrained in the players, despite relegation.
"Of course there have been one or two things that we've needed to iron out," said the boss.
"But if you watch the games and see the commitment from the lads, they give me 100 per cent – even if they might not be good enough technically, they might make mistakes to cost us goals or they might not always score the chance that's been created.
"They've been putting in that commitment over a number of years.
"People say Wolves always have a go and they always fight. That's what we do – when it's hard, we roll up our sleeves.
"You've got to do it and to a man they did it on Saturday.
"They rolled up their sleeves and they turned the tables on Swansea.
"And it ended up that we were disappointed not to have won.
"All credit to the lads; I couldn't thank them enough or give them enough credit."
Connor pinpointed the moment the tables turned at the Liberty Stadium.
"It was significant that Dave Edwards chased back and won a tackle that led to the ball being fed to Stephen Ward, and from there it was worked to Kevin Doyle, who crossed for Steven Fletcher's header for the first goal," he recalled.
"From that moment, it was as if someone had flicked a switch and said 'we're on the pitch, we need to play football here'.
"But the response after that switch was flicked was that the things we ask them to do day-in, day-out, they went out and did them."
