Rob Edwards said Wolves will “keep fighting until the 38th game” as they continued their mini-resurgence with a 2-2 comeback draw with Brentford.
The Premier League’s bottom side have picked up seven points from their last three games to bring some positivity to what has been a poor season overall, and the manner of their spirited fightback in West London will have shown the supporters that they are not giving up the season without a fight.
Wolves remain 12 points from safety but Edwards says the players owe it to the fans to keep battling until the season is over.
He told BBC Sport: “The players are, and we owe it to the football club, ourselves, the fans to keep fighting all the way until the 38th game, so we’ll do that.
“Really, really pleased and proud. To be 2-0 down, I didn’t feel we deserved it but we were, so credit to Brentford. I thought we made a couple of errors and got punished. I felt we were playing really well.
“We showed a lot of belief and quality as well, but great fighting spirit to keep going and get to a point in the game where I felt we could go on and win it.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t to be but I’m really proud of the performance overall.”
Edwards praises subs
Tolu Arokodare was the man to come off the bench to grab the equaliser for the visitors after Adam Armstrong had halved Brentford’s lead following first-half goals from Michael Kayode and Igor Thiago.
Edwards added: “We spoke a lot today about the impact the subs can have from the side, and they have been in recent weeks, whether that is scoring goals or having a big impact, and we got that again tonight.
“All the lads that came on were really effective. It is a squad game. Really pleased for Tolu, but all the lads were great.”
“[Armstrong’s goal] gave us belief. The lads felt that we were right in the game as well, so having that goal certainly helped.
“Then it wasn’t a case of changing too much structurally [at half time], changed a little bit personnel wise and then we controlled big spells of that second half.”
West Ham game ‘huge’
With no game for Wolves this weekend, the West Midlanders won’t be in action again until a huge game against fellow strugglers West Ham after the international break on April 10.
“We know that’s a big game, they all are,” Edwards said.
“We’ll get some time off and then it will be a mixture of good training weeks and a friendly in there as well to make sure we prepare for the right way.
“We’ve never had a 25 day break in the season before so it will be a new one for all of us.”
