Steve Bull: It's a bad break for Wolves - I've never known anything like it

The break has done Wolves no favours at all after a good run of results in the Premier League. Rob Edwards was really starting to build some momentum and getting the players working on his wavelength.

A win against Villa, beating Liverpool and coming back for a draw at Brentford – it really showed that there is still some fight in the Wolves squad.

Rob is quite astute as a head coach and I feel he was really starting to build something – but that has now come to a halt for three weeks and they will have to pick up and start all over again.

The only thing he can do is give the players a bit of a break then get them back in for training, get his ideas embedded into them, maybe play a behind-closed-doors friendly and try to keep them ready for the final seven games of the season.

Yes, we still look like we’re doomed to relegation – but if we are going down, we want to see the lads go down fighting.

Until it’s mathematically impossible, Rob will have them battling for the badge and for the fans. It’s frustrating not to have a game this weekend – instead we have to watch other teams and hope they can do us a favour.

It will be one of of those rare occasions us Wolves fans will hope Villa win when they play West Ham on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest have to go to Tottenham this weekend, so Wolves fans will be keeping an eye on that one too. But having to rely on other teams to do us a favour is never a good place to be.

All we can ask for is that when we come back to face West Ham next month, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The players are fighting for their futures – whether that’s with us or to get a move elsewhere – and we need them battling right to the finish.
