Interim head coach James Collins expressed optimism about Edwards' appointment, highlighting the team's unity and strong work ethic. Collins noted that the players are together and working hard, with no signs of cliques or divisions.

Edwards' background is in the Championship, where he has achieved success as a manager. He led Luton to promotion to the Premier League in 2022-23 and has since been in charge of Middlesbrough, who are currently in second place in the Championship.

Edwards' tactical approach at Middlesbrough has been notable, with his team playing a 3-4-2-1 formation and utilizing wing-backs to provide width. He has also rotated players in the two number ten roles and has experimented with different strike partnerships.

Key players who could make a difference for Wolves include Jorgen Strand Larsen, who remains their best hope for goals despite struggling with injuries. Brazilian midfield duo Joao Gomes and Andre could also be crucial in the centre of the park.

Overall, this appointment feels like a long-term solution rather than a short-term fix. Wolves' chances of survival in the Premier League this season appear slim, and Edwards may be seen as a manager to help the club earn promotion in the future.
