"We're not quitting" - Rodrigo Gomes gives clear message to Wolves fans

Rodrigo Gomes has assured Wolves fans the players are 'not quitting' as they bid to maintain their new-found momentum.

Wolves finished 2025 with a point at Manchester United, that brought an end to an 11-game losing run and seven since Rob Edwards had taken over as head coach.

The team are now on a four-game unbeaten streak following the 6-1 FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town and despite the unlikelihood of Premier League survival, Gomes is not ready to give up.

"Of course we are not in a good position in the league, but we need to keep working hard," he said.

"We need to keep believing in ourselves, keep believing it's possible. 

"Doing everything to win each game, game by game. I think now in this moment we need to think like that.

"Do everything every day and work even harder every day to try to win games, to win points, to keep going and going further on the table. Hopefully, let's see. We are going to do everything in our capacity to try to change the situation.

"We know it's difficult, but we're not quitting. We are going to work harder and harder."

Gomes made a goalscoring return from a groin injury against Salop, netting Wolves' fifth goal of the afternoon in his first match since for more than two months.

The versatile wide player is now eager to make his mark and help Wolves continue their momentum, both in the FA Cup this season but also in the Premier League.

"The FA Cup is a very historic competition in England," he said.

"Even in Portugal I used to watch a few games of the FA Cup.

"Of course we want to win every game. If we keep winning and winning and keep going further on this competition, it's very good for us and very good for the fans. 

"Like I said, we work every day and harder to win each game.

"We are going to do that, even in the Premier League or even in the FA Cup."

On Wolves' Molineux clash with Newcastle this weekend, Gomes added: "It's a very important game at home. 

"After a very good win and very good momentum, I think it's a very important game for us.

"If we play like we are playing in the past games, I think we have a chance to get a good result. We're going to work really hard to achieve that."
