The Impossible Task Ahead of Wolves' New Boss
Newly appointed manager Rob Edwards knows his job is tough as he strives to keep Wolves in the Premier League. The team's dismal form has raised serious concerns about their ability to survive another season at this level.
Edwards, a former player who spent 111 games with the club from 2004-08, acknowledges that his side lacks quality and belief. In order to rediscover that confidence, he will have to help the players overcome their current struggles.
"We have got players who can produce big moments," Edwards said in the aftermath of their latest defeat, which extended their winless run to 16 matches. "I know we've lost, and everyone's going to be flattened by it, but I've been here just a few days, and I haven't got a magic wand."
The reality is stark: Wolves are bottom of the table with just two points from 12 games, and have not won in the top flight for seven months. Their current form has them nine points adrift of safety, and an even bigger gap to 19th-placed Burnley.
The club's dismal form is a worrying sign for Edwards' tenure, who will be under immense pressure to turn things around. With only one point from their last six matches, it seems unlikely that Wolves can stage a miraculous escape.
Edwards wants his team to run more and cover more distance on the pitch, but even that may not be enough to rescue them from the abyss. The former Luton manager admitted that they did win more duels and sprint with more intensity against Crystal Palace, but ultimately failed to capitalize on those efforts.
The Premier League is notorious for its ruthlessness, and Wolves' position at the bottom of the table looks almost impossible to escape. While Edwards will have the benefit of hindsight in reflecting on his team's performance, he also faces a daunting task in trying to restore confidence among his players.
It remains to be seen whether Edwards can turn things around and lead Wolves out of their current quagmire. For now, however, it seems unlikely that they will avoid relegation with the form they've shown so far.

They need someone who's gonna shake things up and bring some new ideas to the table. I mean, 16 matches without a win? That's just not acceptable. And yeah, Edwards has been in the game before, but he's gotta do more than just acknowledge the problems - he needs to actually fix them! 
The pressure is on him big time, and it's gonna be interesting to see how he handles it... will they get a lifeline or get sent down? 
wolves are just going through a tough spell, you know? edwards can totally turn things around, he's got experience and all that. plus, the prem league is super unpredictable, anything can happen. don't write wolves off just yet, they've still got some fight left in 'em 
. The fact that he knows they have players who can produce big moments is reassuring, but it's also terrifying – what if those moments never come? 
. Can he really turn this team around in just a few short months? It feels like an impossible task ahead of him. 
] Wolves need to work on building a cohesive team strategy ASAP! 
]
. I mean, he's got a lot on his plate trying to turn this team around from rock bottom 
. And yeah, the Premier League is a tough nut to crack 
. But you know what? I think it's gonna be an even bigger challenge for him than people are giving him credit for 
. I mean, have you seen their squad? They're not exactly chock-full of stars 
️. Edwards might just surprise us all by working some magic 
. Don't write off Wolves yet! 
. The stats are crazy, 16 winless matches and still in the bottom two? I get it, Wolves have some talented players, but you need to see that quality consistently, not just every now and then. Maybe they just need someone to come in and shake things up a bit, bring some fresh energy? 
, Edwards has big shoes to fill & Wolves are in a tough spot 
.
. can he turn it around? maybe, but prob not 
They just need to believe in themselves and trust each other more. And hey, Edwards is a former player, he knows what it takes to be successful, so I'm sure he'll figure out a way to get them back on track 
, they must be going through a tough time with the team's performance. It's like watching your child struggle in school and not knowing how to help them improve 
. Edwards seems like a good coach, but it's tough when you're facing such a huge gap to safety. I hope he can bring some positivity to the team and get them playing with confidence again 
I feel bad for Edwards, he's got a tough one on his hands. Wolves need to start scoring goals and defending solidly if they want to survive. All this talk about "big moments" from their players isn't going to cut it if they can't execute. 
️
. They're in a hole and it's gonna take more than just 'magic' to get outta there 
. I think he needs to rethink the team's strategy, maybe make some tough decisions, but at the same time, gotta keep his cool & not panic 
. Burnley's got a bigger gap than Wolves do from safety... that's like trying to climb a mountain while being tied to a rock 
. It's tough, but Edwards' gotta try, right?
