Edwards: Men’s First-Team Ready to Attack Upcoming Game
With the upcoming match against Nottingham Forest, Edwards is optimistic about his squad’s chances. The Wolves face Forest, a clash between the two lowest-scoring teams in the Premier League. In this challenging period, Edwards is focusing on finding solutions to improve the team’s attacking output.
Injury Updates
The team will be without forward Hwang, who is sidelined due to a calf injury. Edwards confirmed that Hwang will be out for several weeks. Rescans will occur after two weeks to assess his recovery.
Other players, such as Andre, are progressing through injury rehabilitation. Andre has begun light jogging, while Toti continues with individual training. However, Toti will not be available for the match against Forest.
Expectations for Upcoming Game
Edwards believes the match at the City Ground will provide a great opportunity. He noted that the pressure will primarily be on Forest, who will play at home. “We can go there and try, as always, to attack the game, be brave, and play without pressure,” he stated.
The atmosphere at Forest has been praised by Edwards. He noted that when teams previously visited, the supporters significantly influenced the game. He expressed excitement about experiencing this vibrant environment.
Strategies for Improvement
Edwards emphasized the need for Wolves to find a way to secure victories, especially in a competitive league where many teams are battling for safety. He acknowledged that they need to create more scoring opportunities and improve their overall performance.
Recent changes to the team’s formation were necessitated by injuries, notably Hwang’s exit during the match against Chelsea. While the results have not been favorable, Edwards remains committed to refining the team’s strategy.
Adam Armstrong: A New Addition
The addition of Adam Armstrong is expected to strengthen the squad’s offensive capabilities. Edwards praised Armstrong’s intelligence on the field and his ability to link play effectively. He highlighted Armstrong’s impressive start since joining and his importance as a goal threat.
As a side note, Edwards humorously mentioned Armstrong’s birthday, hoping for some celebratory treats from the new recruit.
Addressing Challenges from Fan Expectations
Hwang has recently faced criticism from supporters. Edwards defended him, acknowledging the player’s intelligence and strong work ethic. He emphasized the need for the team and fans to remain united during tough times.
Edwards understands that external pressures can impact player performances, especially given the current team’s struggles. However, he remains confident that Hwang will rise above the adversity and continue to work hard.
With critical games ahead, Edwards and the Wolves are poised to combat their challenges head-on, ready to attack the game and aim for victory.
