Scott’s theory on Middlesbrough being more potent in attack under Hellberg is not unfounded.
Hellberg’s Boro have scored more freely, with 52 goals in his 30 regular season Championship matches in charge so far at a rate of 1.73 goals per game, compared to 1.21 with Edwards.

Cesar Peixoto, who guided Gil Vicente to sixth place in Portugal’s Primeira Liga during the season just completed, has been linked with the job at Molineux.

Queens Park Rangers have re-signed former loanee Ronnie Edwards for an undisclosed fee from fellow Championship side Southampton.
QPR said the 22-year-old has signed a “long-term” contract with the club but have not disclosed the exact length of the deal.

Hellberg is Boro’s second managerial appointment in five months, with Edwards departing for Wolves just 14 games into his tenure at the Riverside.

Hellberg, who spent his playing career in the Swedish lower leagues, had a year to run on his deal with Hammarby.

There is no doubting Wolves’ endeavour, they worked hard for Edwards but there is a glaring lack of quality and belief in the squad.
That low confidence will sap the skill Jorgen Strand Larsen demonstrated by scoring 14 goals last season, or the energy and class which Andre and Joao Gomes have previously shown in midfield.
It will be up to Edwards and his staff to help them rediscover that
