Rob Edwards not tolerating dip in standards for Wolves' season run-in
Rob Edwards will not tolerate a dip in standards as Wolves prepare for their final stretch of Premier League games this season.
The bottom-placed side have eight matches remaining and are not yet mathematically relegated and any drop to the Championship will depend on upcoming results for Wolves and the teams around them.
Although relegation is still likely, Edwards says the players have bought into his philosophy and remain determined to finish the season well.
"Making sure that our standards are right every day and not accepting anything less than our highest standards every day," Edwards said when asked how he motivates the players.
"The players are all bought into that and appreciate that we know what the right thing to do is, we've driven that hard.
"Then the fact that there's a lot for them to play for still. Whatever your motivation is, then drill into that and use it - play well to stay, play well to get away.
"Whatever your motivation is, you want to be in the Premier League next season, you want to play in a different country, or you want to be at Wolves. You've got to play well, you've got to impress me."
Wolves have had an upturn in form of late but are still struggling at the foot of the table, and Edwards insists his players want to 'put things right' in the games that remain.
Edwards added: "I think there is a genuine motivation to do well for the football club anyway.
"I think a lot of them accept, they're part of a team that's underperformed at times this year, and a lot of them do want to try and put things right as well.
"They're good lads, they do care and I genuinely mean that and you can see that out on the pitch at the moment."
