‘The fans are angry and I get it’ says Wolves boss Edwards
Wolves boss Rob Edwards said he understood the anger of fans at Molineux as some supporters turned their backs on his players during a 4-1 defeat at home to Manchester United.
Edwards has lost all four games since taking charge, while Wolves have now lost eight games in a row to equal their longest-ever losing streak in league history.
It is 43 years since Wolves had such a bad run and relegation already looks nailed on.
Plenty of Wolves fans stayed outside of the stadium until the 15th minute in protest at the clubâs current performance on and off the field, while more turned away from the action in the closing stages.
 âI understand the frustration,â Edwards said. âI wonât tell fans what to do. Iâd love them to support the players but they have to see effort and commitment in return.
âMistakes were punished tonight and that filtered through. There was an anger in the stadium. The lads are trying. The supporters are angry and I get it.
âItâs the toughest league in the world and we came into a team who hadnât won since April. I wasnât anticipating a quick turnaround.â
Edwardsâ side have picked up just two points from their opening 15 games this season and remain 13 points from safety.
They are guaranteed to be bottom at Christmas.
