How Wolves will use their 25-day gap in fixtures
Going from one extreme to the other, Wolves have had a fascinating schedule in the second half of the season.
During four weeks from February to early March, Wolves played eight games, including two mid-week matches and two high-stakes Friday night clashes, in a hectic timetable.
By the time they kick-off against Brentford on Monday night, Wolves will have had 10 days to recover and prepare, and after Brentford they will not play again for 25 days.
That is due to the Arsenal game being rearranged for their Carabao Cup exploits, the international break and Wolves' exit in the FA Cup.
In preparation for this unusual break in the season, Wolves are now setting up friendly matches behind closed doors to keep the players fit and firing.
"It's going to be really interesting," Rob Edwards said of the 25-day gap.
"We've got a plan of what we'll do. Players that will be here can get a little bit of downtime and have a little bit of a break.
"But then we can have a couple of good weeks of training.
"We'll arrange at least one game that we'll need to have - there might be a couple in there - and then when we get the guys back, we can have another good preparation week going into the West Ham game.
"It will be really strange, it's something that probably none of us, even those experienced as some of the staff are, would ever have had to deal with before.
"But that is the situation and we have to make the best of it."
When asked if the friendly matches will be internal or will involve other clubs, Edwards added: "We'll see. One might be in-house and we'll have a look at that and then we'll probably arrange a fixture as well.
"In the cup game, Liverpool were exceptional and clearly wanted to show why they're Liverpool and they did.
"Maybe it was one too far after what had been a really big week, and never mind the big five or six weeks before that as well.
"I think they'll (the players) all benefit from a little bit of a break."
The players will be given some time off at the start of Wolves' enforced break, while some will eventually go away with their national teams.
Wolves face a huge summer rebuild when relegation is confirmed and the gap in fixtures offers a perfect time to ramp up planning.
When asked if the break will be useful to continue planning for next season, Edwards added: "We've been doing a lot of that anyway, and that will be ongoing.
"Regardless, even if we're playing three games a week, that will be happening, the planning and everything for pre-season and next season and everything else.
"There'll be some time for different meetings and stuff like that.
"In terms of the preparation for the team, again, a little bit of downtime, which will be important for them, because it has been a really intense period.
"We won't have all the players to work with because some will be away on international duty, but then we can get some good training in, and we'll get a friendly in there.
"We'll prepare the best way possible to arrive to the West Ham game, ready to go and attack that, because it'll be another really important game, a really difficult away game.
"We'll have to make sure that we make it the best preparation that we can. We can't change it, so we have to try and make the best of it."
