Steve Davis is hopeful that Wolverhampton Wanderers can only benefit from some of the decisions that he has made while in caretaker charge.
When Wolves took the decision to sack Bruno Lage on October 2, the West Midlands outfit had been expected to swiftly appoint a replacement.
However, rejections from Julen Lopetegui and Michael Beale have resulted in Davis keeping the reins for a total of seven matches in all competitions.
Although Wolves have collected just four points from six league games under Davis, he collected a second win when his side defeated Leeds United in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday evening.
Furthermore, Davis has handed senior game time to a number of younger players, most notably left-back Hugo Bueno and midfielder Joe Hodge.
With Lopetegui having had a change of heart over accepting the head coach position at Molineux, Davis is currently preparing to take charge of his final game, which is at home to Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday evening.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Davis has suggested that he feels satisfied with the work and progress that has been made since his temporary promotion.
The 57-year-old said: "We got the person we wanted to get in which is great news. I look back on it really good experience, something I never dreamed would happen as a kid.
"I'd like to think some legacies have been left in terms of young players getting chances and internally methods in training to get more intensity for players to work harder.
"You can see that in performances and the way they have changed that mindset. They were changes we wanted to make in a short period of time."
Wolves, who are currently on a four-match winless streak in the Premier League, begin the weekend sitting three points adrift of safety.
If Nottingham Forest avoid defeat against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, Wolves will occupy bottom spot in the standings ahead of facing the Gunners.
