'No regrets' for Wolves boss amid huge survival task
Rob Edwards insists he does not regret taking the Wolves job and he is relishing the challenge of their relegation fight.
The head coach was criticised by many in football for leaving Middlesbrough for bottom-placed Wolves and he has since lost his opening three games in charge.
But when asked if the size of the task is bigger than he expected, Edwards was adamant that he was prepared for Wolves' plight and is determined to be successful at the club in the long-term.
"I knew it was going to be really difficult," Edwards said.
"We haven't won since April and I knew it was a huge challenge.
"I'm perversely really enjoying it and I really want this challenge.
"Long term I know it's going to be really rewarding and hopefully I'll be able to look back on this and think it made me stronger and made me better.
"I want to do a really good job for this football club, but I knew it was going to be a huge task and we're seeing that.
"What I would say as well is, all three of the games so far have been tight and could and gone either way and we could have been sitting here with a couple of draws and we probably should be.
"The table makes for bad reading, the performance (against Forest) wasn't great, so there'll be a lot more negativity but I've got to still look at it and see we've been pretty solid, we're not giving massive chances away.
"We've got to keep building now to try and score goals and we've got to try and be more of a threat.
"I's not all been bad. It was a drop (against Forest), but it doesn't make me regret anything and it doesn't change my feelings on the size of the task."
There is a general acceptance from fans and rivals that Wolves will go down this season, as they sit on two points from 14 matches.
When asked if that is the case for the players and staff at the club, Edwards added: "I can't get into their actual heads, I can't physically do that.
"There's got to be a reality there, but also, nothing's done until it's done either so we need to fight and we need to show some pride.
"That was one of the words that came out that they gave us, that's what we have to show every day.
"I always look at the glass half full and I have to.
"I suppose we're in an even more sticky situation than it's been in the last couple of years, and my job is to do the very best I can do every single day.
"That's what we're going to continue to do."
