Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl believes the international break has helped him to refocus a side that lost three consecutive Premier League matches.
The Saints lost 3-1 at home to south coast rivals Bournemouth on September 20, followed by a 2-1 defeat away to Tottenham and a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea at St Mary's.
Saturday sees them face a tough trip to Molineux to take on Wolves but Hasenhuttl feels Southampton have benefited from being able to work with the majority of their squad over the last fortnight.
"The good thing was we had a lot of players here and not too many away on international duty over the two weeks," he said.
"That gave me the chance to work on a few weaknesses in our game that we have seen in our last two games.
"Against the big teams, they show you immediately the lack of quality you have in some situations of your game.
"The biggest issue we have had is after losing the ball, the transition to defence was not quick enough and not committed enough and that's the reason why we conceded more goals than normal."
Wolves have picked up seven points from their last three league matches - including a 2-0 victory away to defending champions Manchester City that made all the sporting headlines - and Hasenhuttl is well aware of the threat they pose.
"They are a well-organised team, one that has its strength in counter-attacks," he added.
"They showed how well-organised the defence is against Manchester City, you get less time and space to create chances.
"Last season at home we played a very good game against them, although we had very little ball possession - in the second half it was about 21 per cent.
"I think it will be a good game because both sides like to have a good offensive transition and we will have to pay attention if we lose the ball when you have possession, because that is the most dangerous moment against that opposition."
Southampton lost director of football operations Ross Wilson to Rangers earlier this week, with the 36-year-old having played a key role in bringing Hasenhuttl to the club in December 2018 following the departure of Mark Hughes.
Hasenhuttl described the move as a "big loss" to Saints but insisted it should not adversely affect their January recruitment plans.
"It was surprising for me, but what I can say is that I had a very good relationship with him," said Hasenhuttl.
"I wish him all the best. He goes to a famous club to a big club and has a new challenge. It was, I think, about five years here.
"For us, it is a big loss for sure - but this is what happens in football. For us it will be important that we bring somebody new in and we will do this.
"We have our plan, our schedule, what we want to do, the players we want to look at.
"It is independent from Ross. We know what we want to have for our game, for the positions we need and so that doesn't make a big change in a moment."
One positive for Hasenhuttl is the recent form of striker Danny Ings, who has scored four goals in his last three games in all competitions.
Hasenhuttl said: "Danny is in really good shape at the moment. He had a really good pre-season, without injuries, and this is the most important thing for him.
"That is why he can work so hard at the moment, he has a great workload for the team.
"When he has the ball, he has the quality to score, he gets a lot of chances at the moment, which helps us absolutely.
"What I like about Danny is he is also open-minded, he is a very positive character for this team and I hope he will continue his run."
