Wolves have finally won a game in the Premier League, and the club have shared what Rob Edwards said to his players in the dressing room.
Wolves won 3-0 against West Ham United on Saturday, producing the best performance of the season.
Wanderers had looked good against the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United, so many had been hoping this game with struggling West Ham would yield a first win.
WOW 😍. What is your message to Rob Edwards after that performance, Wolves fans?
And that’s what transpired, with Jhon Arias, Hwang Hee-chan and Mateus Mane all on target for the hosts.
It was a sweet moment for Edwards, whose work ethic since taking the job has been clear to see.
He has struggled to get results, but perhaps this will now be the turning point for Wolves after a torrid first half of the campaign.
Today, Wolves shared the message Edwards gave his players in a new video clip.
What Rob Edwards said to the Wolves players after West Ham win
Wolves have now cut the gap to safety to 12 points.
Make no mistake about it, it will still be a very tall order to salvage the season.
But the last few performances have increased the optimism just slightly, and with some smart additions in the transfer window, then perhaps Wolves can yet make a fight of it.
Edwards was obviously delighted to get that first win over West Ham.
But he was also realistic, reminding the players that it’s just one win.
In new footage shared by Wolves on X, he said: “Listen, it’s only one alright. But it feels good, yeah? Feels good. You deserved it. You were fantastic. From you (points at unseen player), right the way through everyone.
“And it is everyone. It is everyone. Whether you get on the pitch or not. I know there’s always disappointment, but we have to stick together and we have to keep fighting together.”
Hope yet for Wolves under Rob Edwards and Rui Pedro Silva
Wolves still have a mountain to climb to get out of trouble, but it genuinely feels like there could be an outside chance now.
Edwards lost his first seven games, but there’s been steady progress and the last few performances have genuinely been good.
And potentially, the recent arrival of Rui Pedro Silva – who was so respected during his first spell working on Nuno Espirito Santo’s coaching team – may have had a really good impact behind the scenes.
After the win over West Ham, Wolves now have to try and back it up against Everton, who lost 4-2 to Brentford on Sunday.
The Toffees have been difficult to predict this season, but Wolves, with a bit of wind in their sails at last, should be looking to capitalise and get three more points on the board.
One gets the feeling that back-to-back wins would build up the confidence levels so much.
