Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Rob Edwards has admitted that he can understand the anger of his fans after their 4-1 defeat to Manchester United. The home team were comprehensively beaten at Molineux Stadium, with the Red Devils' potent attacking unit scoring four goals without reply.
Edwards, who took over as Wolves boss in November, acknowledged that his side's performance was not good enough and that fans had every right to be frustrated. "I understand their anger," he said in a post-match press conference. "We didn't get the result we wanted, but it's also important to remember that this is a team with a lot of experience and quality, and sometimes you're on the receiving end of a performance like that."
The defeat has raised questions about Edwards' ability to get the best out of his players, particularly in big games. While the manager has made progress since taking over at Wolves, he still faces an uphill battle to turn the club around.
Manchester United's win was their fifth away victory of the season, and it sent a strong statement of intent from the Red Devils. Manager Erik ten Hag has been praised for his tactics and man-management, and it's clear that Manchester United have a team that can compete with any side in the league.
For Wolves, however, this defeat will be a wake-up call. They need to regroup and refocus if they want to turn their season around. Edwards' comments suggest that he is aware of the gravity of the situation and is committed to making changes. The question now is whether those changes will be enough to get Wolves back on track.
The Wolves faithful will be watching with bated breath as their side look to bounce back from this defeat. Can Edwards' men turn things around, or has Manchester United dealt a damaging blow? Only time will tell.

The big question is can Edwards make the necessary adjustments? He's gotta get his head down and sort out some defensive issues. Those four goals conceded at home is just embarrassing 
... Wolves need to regroup fast, no time for moping around. Fans are fed up with excuses, it's time for action 
.
I feel for those wolves fans right now... they must be bloody gutted after that thrashing 
. Edwards is right though, 4-1 ain't gonna cut it if you wanna compete with the top teams in this league. They need to sort out their defence and get some confidence back up front 
. Ten Hag's team looks like a well-oiled machine right now 
, but Wolves have been here before - they just gotta learn from this defeat and regroup 
️!
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced there's a hidden agenda here 
.
It's gonna be tough for them to get back in this league, especially with Manchester United firing on all cylinders 
I mean, you can feel the frustration of the Wolves fans right now... 4-1 is just brutal! 
Rob Edwards is being super honest about their performance and acknowledging that his team didn't deliver. That's fair, though - they were outplayed by Manchester United. Erik ten Hag's tactics are looking sharp, and it's clear that United are a top-notch squad.
. They need to regroup, refocus, and make some changes ASAP. It's not going to be easy, but Edwards seems like the right guy for the job. He's aware of the situation and is committed to making adjustments. Fingers crossed that his team can bounce back from this one... 
. ten hag's got wolves on notice tho... Erik's tactical genius is no joke 
wolverhampton needs to step up their game stat 
! Ten Hag's tactics are really paying off, and Erik's man-management skills are top-notch 
.
. I mean, 4-1 is a massive gap to close in any league, let alone when you're coming up against a team as strong as Manchester United. But at the same time, I don't think it's fair to pile all the blame on him. The lads just had an off day, that's football for you 
. Edwards has only been at the helm for a few months and he's already showing signs of growth, so I'd be keeping faith with him 
. It's not going to be easy, but sometimes you need a wake-up call like this to make people sit up and take notice 
His reaction to the 4-1 loss seems pretty on point, acknowledging that his team didn't perform well and that the fans have every right to be frustrated. He's also showing that he's willing to make changes and address the issues head-on.
. It's not just about Edwards' ability to manage the team, it's about the squad's depth and chemistry. Manchester United was on fire today 
️... if they want to compete with top sides like Man Utd 
. i mean, you can't deny that man united are on fire 
. now, it's time for them to regroup, refocus, and come back stronger 
The fans are right to be angry, you know? Edwards seems like a nice guy, but he's gotta do some serious soul-searching and make some tough decisions if he wants to turn things around. 
Only time will tell!
and what's with all this talk about experience and quality? that doesn't explain why they got thrashed 4-1! 
They proved that a 4-1 defeat isn't the end of the world if you're willing to take risks and make some serious adjustments.
