Rob Edwards has been working hard at Compton ahead of Wolves’ next Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
Wolves find themselves in a precarious position at the foot of the Premier League table after 11 games, with very little room for error from here.
Crystal Palace are up next, and Rob Edwards has been hard at work getting his players up to speed and buying into his vision after leaving Middlesbrough.
One thing that has really stood out from day one is how much he loves the club. It’s a love that’s not been seen around these parts since the glory days with Nuno Espirito Santo.
When Wolves came calling, the decision was clear for Rob Edwards
Having played for the club and previously taken on the caretaker manager role after Walter Zenga’s departure, it’s refreshing to see one of our own back in the fold.
But all will soon be forgotten if results continue in the same fashion.
Rob Edwards takes his first training session with the full Wolves squad
Rob Edwards has already been given the plaudits from a number of Wolves players for his start to life at Molineux, and now fans get to see what’s really been going on behind the scenes.
Wolves’ official YouTube channel released footage of first-team training and a meeting that was held by Rob Edwards, which provided fantastic insight.
Enzo Gonzalez and Tawanda Chirewa could both be seen in the footage, as well as Matt Doherty, who has since been ruled out of the Crystal Palace clash.
But that’s not all, as there was plenty more to take away from the session.
Smiles back on faces and pressing at the forefront for Wolves
After what has been a gruelling start to the season, it makes such a change to see the Wolves players laughing and smiling.
The final weeks of Vitor Pereira’s reign got so toxic that Wolves fans even clashed with some of the players and the manager after the loss to Burnley.
Are you confident Rob Edwards will help Wolves avoid relegation?
However, that wasn’t the only positive to come out of training.
More importantly, Wolves appear to be adopting more of a pressing approach, with at least two drills and mini games targeting that aspect of the game.
This was something that Pereira tried but to no great effect, as the players would often press in different patterns, and there was almost a fear to really commit.
One memorable thing about Rob Edwards’ Luton was the way they pressed teams. Especially at Kenilworth Road.
