"It doesn't feel like that" - Rob Edwards on Wolves atmosphere ahead of potential record-equalling run

Rob Edwards is paying no attention to the winless run record as Wolves aim to avoid another unwanted statistic at home to Brentford today.

If Wolves fail to win at Molineux against the Bees, they will equal the 17-game Premier League winless run previously set by Sheffield United.

Their current run of nine consecutive league losses is already the worst in Wolves' history, but Edwards is not letting the potential of equalling Sheffield's run get to him.

"I wasn't aware of it, but I'm not surprised by it because it's not great," the head coach said.

"It's not simple we'd go talking about all the time because I have to try to keep the lads believing a little bit and not be too negative around the place.

"Everyone is aware of the situation, there's no hiding from it, but all I can say is that in training and the atmosphere around the place, it doesn't feel like it's all completely doom and gloom and it's all lost.

"It doesn't feel like that and that's not what I'm seeing on the training pitch either. I didn't see that last weekend in the game.

"I can only go off how I feel and what I'm seeing and it doesn't look like that's taking over the boys or really affecting them in any way."

Edwards has been unable to stop Wolves' slide since being appointed as he aims to improve the basics among the group.

"All we can do is control the bits we can control and get the performance levels there," he added.

"Then you hope you get the rub of the green, a first goal or something goes our way.

"In the five games we've had, there's two performances where I can look myself in the mirror and say we've done all we can.

"For the first game against Palace we'd had the boys for a few days and it was really tough, but against Forest and United it wasn't us, it's not a reflection of what I want us to be.

"If we can get that team that's organised, hard-working and brave then we'll have a chance. That's all we can control and all we can do."
