Rob Edwards expressed his thoughts on the work that Wolves have done in recent months.
The side still seem set to be relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season, but they have picked up the pace, collecting back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Wolves in their last two league outings. They are now only three points behind 19th placed Burnley, and even if life in the Championship becomes confirmed, they are setting foundations for a brighter future next year.
“It’s been good – we’ve managed to get a few days after an intense period. It’s been strange having 10 days between games. It’s been needed.” Our aim is and always has been to try to achieve as many points as possible. Go into every game trying to win it. Try to take things as far as we can and take momentum into next season.”
“Once you get momentum you want to keep things going and ride that wave. We have had decent results but our performances for some time, have been consistent. [Next season] there will be change in the squad. But we need to remember how to win games and make the whole place feel lighter and brighter, which has been happening recently. Try to lift the cloud and find that winning formula.
“It was difficult when we came here but I feel now, across the board and with the supporters, there’s a different energy around – more people with smiles on faces. I can see them getting behind the team.
“We know how big the game is. It’s a really important fixture that we, of course, want to win, while respecting how good Brentford are and how good they’ve been this season. We know how difficult it is playing there, I’ve watched them a lot, they’ve got great energy and intensity. A really good way of playing, so it’s a really difficult game, but of course we’d love to scratch that itch [of an away win].”
