Edwards calls for Wolves fight

Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards today demanded "fight" from the team at Barnsley tomorrow – and insisted victory at Oakwell could kick-start the Dean Saunders era.

Saunders' side will face their relegation rivals with the new manager still winless in six games at the helm following Saturday's goalless draw at Derby.

But ex-Shrewsbury star Edwards claimed success against the Tykes would inspire Wolves, although he insisted the game is not a 'must win' affair.

"We will do everything we can to win the game because we know how important it is, but if we lose we're not relegated and there is a long way to go," said the Wales international. "But we need a catalyst and three points and we will do everything in our powers to do that at Barnsley.

"We are desperate for that win, and as soon as we get it I think the confidence will come flooding back.

"A point wasn't a bad result at Derby but if we can go to Barnsley and get a win, I'm sure that's all it will take to kick us on.

"We know we've got better players than the position shows, but we're only going to get out of it by rolling up our sleeves and putting in a performance and getting some points.

"As soon as that happens I'm sure the confidence will come back."
