Rob Edwards insists that regardless of the league Wolves are in next season, it’s essential they go into it in a positive frame of mind, which can be built between now and May.
The Old Gold have eight Premier League matches remaining, with the next coming at Brentford on Monday. Having taken six points from the last six available, the head coach can feel the mood changing for the better, both internally and externally.
Determined to learn from his past experiences, Edwards knows that good performances this season, and a positive feeling in the stands, can be huge for how the club starts the 2026/27 campaign.
Focus on Accumulating Points
Edwards said that Wolves’ aim is, and always has been, to achieve as many points as possible, and go into every game to try and win it. The team wants to try to take things as far as possible and carry momentum into next season. He added that Wolves will continue to fight and continue to try to take as many points as possible.
Edwards noted that the team has not had an away win, so it’d be lovely to achieve that, but the next game is as far as the team can go.
He stated that Wolves have had a couple of decent results, but their performances for quite a long time now have been consistent, and that’s what they want to keep focusing on. If their performance levels are good, and they’re working really hard, it gives them the best chance of getting points and keeping the momentum going. It’s about trying to keep their momentum by doing the basics really well.
Laying Foundations for the Future
Edwards said that the club needs to remember how to win games and try to make the whole place feel a bit lighter and brighter, which he thinks has been happening more recently. He feels that they need to try and lift the cloud and find that winning formula again, both internally and externally.
He stated that there’s a lot Wolves can learn, and he’s got real experiences of that. They don’t want to take any negativity wherever they’re going. It’s important that they remain competitive, keep working extremely hard and keep improving.
Changing the Atmosphere
Edwards feels that there’s a different energy across the board. He feels like there’s more smiles on faces again, and he can see them really getting behind the team and behind the players, which is the most important thing all of the time.
If the players continue to work as hard as they are, and show that they’re going to fight to the end for the football club, then they’ll have everyone on side.
Edwards spoke about Andre, saying he’s had a great impact and a great start to his young career. He recognises that he’s got a long way to go as well, but he’s giving everything and working incredibly hard. Edwards stated that fairly early on Andre had a big impact for Wolves, but he’s still been.
Edwards wants to be able to look forward and build on a lot of good work towards the end of the season.
