"We've got to find a way" - Wolves boss eager for 'ruthless edge'

They almost snatched a result against Liverpool at the weekend with a better second half display and the head coach wants to build from that as they take on Manchester United today.

When asked how he keeps lifting the group, Edwards said: "It's been a long period of time. I've been here six weeks and I'm fed up of it.

"Some of them will be feeling a little bit tough, but we've got to find a way.

"That's why I said we've got to latch on to that second-half performance because I don't want to be coming into dress rooms at the end of the games and saying, that's the level, but we're taking nothing from it.

"We've got to find a bit more of a ruthless edge.

"We've won that second half of football and that's what we'll be going after at the moment. That is something for us to take forward."

Consistency in performances has been Wolves' issue, both in games and with each passing fixture, and Edwards is eager for improvement on that front.

He added: "We can compete but at the moment there's been moments in games, almost all of them, where we've shot ourselves in the foot and we've not been able to recover from that.

"The players have shown they're capable in moments in games but we haven't seen it for a complete game. Probably other than maybe Villa, I would say.

"We need to complete a consistent performance right the way throughout the 90 minutes.

"You get punished at this level and we get punished too many times for mistakes."

Meanwhile, Edwards has praised Santi Bueno for his patience and for taking his chance as the defender has got his place back in the team and netted in the defeat to Liverpool.

"Great for him, a really good couple of performances from Santi," he said.

"He's had to be a little bit patient for a few weeks.

"He knows the reasons why we went with what we went with, but he's certainly playing really well.

"I've been really pleased with Santi."
