Liam Keen comment: Left with more questions than answers after poor Wolves display

But what did we learn from the stalemate?

Identity

Edwards changed to a back four against Chelsea at the weekend and it did not work, predictably leading him to switch to the tried and tested 5-3-2 formation against Forest.

At Molineux they tried to be positive and forward thinking, but it left them open, and the performance against Forest was the antithesis of that.

Wolves sat back, were negative, looked uncomfortable on the ball and allowed Forest to dictate the game. Frankly, they looked scared stiff and had little energy in a poor first half.

The second half was marginally better, but Jose Sa's heroics in goal and some last-gasp defending kept it at 0-0.

Edwards is right in his assessment that Wolves did not play well, but showed some resilience and commitment. However, that should be a basic non-negotiable anyway.

It does leave us question what Wolves' identity under Edwards is or will be in the future, as they struggled to create anything meaningful in the final third. Ironic, as Jorgen Strand Larsen scored two for Crystal Palace on the same night.

Joao Gomes really struggled in the first half as he gave the ball away regularly. He's having a tough time at the moment.

"They're good players and we wanted to use them even more," Edwards said when asked about the midfield.

"We tried in the first half but then obviously because they're just aggressive, it's difficult for us to really use them enough and get any control with them and through them. 

"I thought what Joao and Angel did in the second half very well was the blocks on the edge of the box, Joao landed on a lot more second balls. Some of the basics they did better in the second half, but it was difficult.

"They're good footballers but we weren't able to use them enough."

Leadership

Sa deserves credit for his performance and the double save to deny Igor Jesus and Morato was impressive.

Forest had 35 shots, with 10 on target and an expected goals (xG) of 2.73, in comparison to Wolves' 0.39 and just seven shots, with three on target.

Wolves could have been 3-0 down at half-time and Sa played a big part in keeping his team in the game.

However, his inclusion and being named as captain leads us to another debate.

Sa was pushing heavily behind the scenes to join Forest in January when they made an enquiry for the shot-stopper, before eventually turning to Stefan Ortega at Manchester City.

Just days after that failed transfer, Sa was captaining Wolves at Molineux and he wore the captain's armband again on Wednesday night, when he could easily have been lining up for the opposition if the transfer materialised.

That, in a nutshell, sums up Wolves' dreadful situation with leadership in this squad. They desperately need to fix this issue next season and will probably need to recruit with that in mind.

When asked about Sa's save, Edwards said: "Amazing double save. 

"I thought we defended the box in general very well, limited them to a lot of shots from distance, whether it was centre-halves taking shots or overhead kicks or quite a lot of speculative efforts.

"I know there was a lot of shots and we don't want to be receiving that many shots, but the majority were from safer areas. 

"We had to defend a lot of crosses. It's difficult to defend. they're a crossing team, I think they're the second most in the league after Newcastle, and we defended that pretty well I think."

Bench options

With Hwang Hee-chan, Andre and Toti Gomes all out injured, Edwards had to name Luke Rawlings, Ethan Sutherland and Tom Edozie on his bench for the Forest game.

All three of those academy youngsters have some promise, but they do not have a single minute of senior football for Wolves between them, while Larsen, Jhon Arias and Fer Lopez have all been allowed to leave the club.

Their departures were warranted for a number of reasons, but Wolves have taken a big risk by not increasing the size of the squad.

It has definitely been done with next season in mind and a summer rebuild ready for the Championship, but Wolves must also stay competitive now and just one injury to any senior player will now result in an inexperienced youngster coming in.

Edwards is going to have to manage his squad very carefully to ensure he keeps enough players available, which is easier said than done when you have a difficult FA Cup trip to League Two Grimsby coming up next.
