Sheffield United's 17-game winless start in 2020-21 - a Premier League record - has been under threat for a while and Wolves will equal the tally if they fail to beat Brentford at Molineux on Saturday. The visit of the Bees represents another chance to start the rebuild under Edwards, which will continue in January when the head coach is expected to try to move some players on. Edwards hold his pre-Brentford news conference later on Friday and it will feel like Groundhog Day at Compton.
Sheffield United's 17-game winless start in 2020-21 - a Premier League record - has been under threat for a while and Wolves will equal the tally if they fail to beat Brentford at Molineux on Saturday.
It would be another milestone in an already wretched season which is expected to end in relegation.
They have been close to getting results since Rob Edwards replaced Vitor Pereira last month - notably at Aston Villa and Arsenal - but the run of nine straight defeats is a club record.
The visit of the Bees represents another chance to start the rebuild under Edwards, which will continue in January when the head coach is expected to try to move some players on.
Edwards hold his pre-Brentford news conference later on Friday and it will feel like Groundhog Day at Compton. Wolves' situation has not changed and the questions will focus on the winless record, how to avoid it and January transfers.
Since he joined five weeks ago there has been an upturn in some performances, but the overriding atmosphere in the fanbase is still one of division and frustration.
Before the last home game - a 4-1 defeat by Manchester United - many supporters boycotted the opening 15 minutes to protest against the running of the club.
That has not gone away and Edwards still needs to united the fans and club - a win on Saturday would go some way to doing that during a desperate time.
Come back to this page later on Friday for all the key lines from Edwards.
