Cesar Peixoto has kept several players from last season and added depth in every position, as the club aims to get out of the Championship.
Experienced second tier striker Armstrong has full faith in the quality Wolves possess as they target promotion.
“You look at the squad we’ve got and it’s not a Championship squad, there’s quality all over the pitch,” he said.
“Myself, I’m 29, I’ve been in the Championship for years, it’s something I love. All the boys want promotion because it’s the best feeling in the world, I had it at Southampton. We try to drill that message in every day, being the best we can be.
“There are no walkovers in this league, you have to turn up every game, and I’m trying to get that into the boys. Sunday was excellent, the grind. The last ten minutes, when you’re digging in, that’s what you need in this league.”
Armstrong only has one league goal so far this season but worked hard for the team on Sunday as he led the line in the Black Country derby win against West Brom.
The attacker is confident the chances will fall his way again if he continues putting in the hard yards.
Armstrong added: “I always speak about it with the lads, that I have to put in the work at the front end of the pitch – the moment I stop running is the moment I won’t get chances.
“I learned that when I was younger, you have to keep going, and we created a lot of chances on Sunday. If I stop working, the team stops working, because it leads from the front.
“We’ve got to get our relationships right. It takes time, it’s still new, a lot of new relationships on the pitch. I have to know when to drop in and when to stay on the top line to get the runs going.”
Armstrong spent some time on loan at the Baggies in early 2025 and was pleased to get a derby day win over his former side.
“We knew what the game was going to be,” he said.
“It’s a massive derby, so we knew the fans would give us an extra lift in the end, and I thought they were brilliant throughout the game. The main thing was to get the win, and I thought the lads were excellent on and off the ball, creating chances, and their ‘keeper pulled off some ‘worldies’, so on another day it’s three or four, but I’m very proud of the boys.
“We knew we were doing really well and we just had to stick to the game plan. We were creating a lot of chances, but fair play to their ‘keeper. We stuck at it, stuck to the press, got it right at the right time and Lopez does what he does.”
Lets not get carried away a few weeks ago after west ham and blues we were all worrying Cesar has tightened things up and the defence looks so much better now! One game at a time for me Boro away will be a real tough test lets see how we do!
