Rob Edwards has come under fire from some of his own fans after a dismal 4-1 defeat at home to Manchester United, but he says he understands the anger and frustration they're feeling.
The Wolves boss acknowledged that the result would be frustrating for supporters who were expecting more from their team. "I understand their anger," Edwards said in a post-match press conference. "We knew it wouldn't be easy coming up against one of the top teams in the league, but to lose 4-1 is not what we wanted."
Edwards took responsibility for the defeat, saying that his side didn't match Manchester United's intensity and quality. "We couldn't compete with their pace and energy, and that ultimately cost us the game," he admitted.
The manager also highlighted the importance of learning from mistakes. "We need to analyze what went wrong and make sure we don't repeat those errors. It's not just about the result, it's about how we respond as a team."
Despite the disappointing outcome, Edwards remained optimistic about his side's prospects for the remainder of the season. "We have a lot of young players in our squad who are learning and developing quickly," he said. "I'm proud of their efforts and I'm confident that with some adjustments and a bit of luck, we can turn things around."

. Edwards is right though, acknowledging the frustration from his supporters shows he's willing to listen and take responsibility for the defeat 
. The fact that he pointed out his team's lack of intensity and energy against their opponents highlights a clear area for improvement 
. However, I think it's refreshing that Edwards is focusing on learning from mistakes rather than placing blame 
. It's also great to see him expressing confidence in his young players' development - Wolves have some promising talent in their squad 
.
seems like Edwards is being super chill about the 4-1 loss at home to Man United... I mean, yeah he gets it, fans are gonna be salty 
but how many times do you have to get smashed before you gotta step up your game? 
️, we'll see if he can actually make some changes to the squad 
and turn it around 
... hopefully Wolves fans won't be waiting too long for some serious wins 
The stats don't lie! Manchester United scored 32 shots on target and Wolves only managed 8 
. And let's not forget the possession stats - MUU had 62% of the ball 
. Not exactly what you'd call a balanced game 
️. But hey, as Edwards said, it's all about learning from mistakes 
. The Wolves squad does have some promising young players, though! 
Did you see their average age is 24.5? 
... edwards is taking the right approach tho, acknowledging the fans frustration but also not making excuses. it's like he's saying "ok guys let's own up to our mistakes and learn from them" you can't blame him for that. and yeah those young players do have potential, with a bit of tweaking to their gameplan and some luck we might actually see some progress 
... but you know what? At least Edwards is owning up to it. I mean, he's not trying to make excuses or shift the blame - that's just gonna rub salt in the wound for his fans. By acknowledging that they didn't match Man Utd's intensity and quality, he's showing a level of self-awareness that's pretty impressive.
