"I thought the lads were really good without the ball. We had to be against a team like this today with the quality that they have," he noted, emphasizing their strategic execution on the pitch.
Building Momentum
Edwards acknowledged that while performances have been improving, tangible outcomes are essential for boosting team morale. With two consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, the manager mentioned, "If we can keep it to zero, we know we’re going to be in the game."

They appreciate that the lads are fighting." This rekindling of faith and support is pivotal for the club as it navigates the remainder of the season and aims to fortify its standing in the league.
The Road Ahead
As Wolves work to build momentum and confidence, the team is setting its sights on a positive outcome for the remainder of the season. Edwards concluded by acknowledging the challenges ahead, particularly with tough matches on the horizon, but remains optimistic about continuing their fight in the Premier League.
