‘Do we want to be remembered for fighting or being cowards?’

“We want to be remembered for fighting until the end of the season,” the question being asked is “do we want to be remembered for being cowards”?

At Wolves, Matt Doherty made it clear that relegation from the Premier League was inevitable.

Will they turn out to be the worst team in world flight history?

After Wolves suffered their 10th straight defeat and 15th defeat in 17 games, Derby’s record-breaking 11 points from 2007-08 are in serious danger.

There is no evidence to suggest Rob Edwards’ side will be able to stop the slide, but the unwanted records are accumulating.

Another low, perhaps the lowest, was Saturday’s limp 2-0 defeat by Brentford, which came after a season that had swung from crisis to crisis.

However, the Covid-19 pandemic caused the Blades to begin later, so they had only played 14 games by then, compared to Wolves’ 17.

Sunderland had a 14-point safety gap at Christmas in 2005-06, making Wolves’ 14-point gap the biggest in the Premier League.

The situation is getting worse for Edwards’ side, who has the worst record of any team in Europe’s top 14 divisions. In Cyprus, only Paralimni (in the 15th-ranked league) have fewer points.

Sheffield United set the record for the longest Premier League winless start (17) between 2020 and 2020.

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone described the defeat by Fulham on November as “embarrassing,” a result and performance that saw Vitor Pereira’s job come to an end.

Given the current political climate, where a new manager is at home and desperate for a win, Saturday’s defeat represents the new low of the campaign.

With the resignation of the executive chairman, there was still a chance for Molineux to unite, and the toxic resentment toward Jeff Shi had also vanished.

The Wolves players then left the almost empty stadium, with chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” ringing throughout the match.

Doherty, a defender, called it “the worst I’ve experienced in a long time.”

“At the end of the game, you can see the stadium is almost deserted. It doesn’t start out full. Simply put, we lack the conviction to win the game.

The bottom line is that Wolves are simply not good enough, despite his performances at Aston Villa and Arsenal.

You can’t give up, Edwards remarked. I said after the game, “I’m going to fight right in front of you, and I know all the staff members are going to do it.” I also need the ladies to work together to support one another and fight as well.

“We need to speak up now,” he said. I am aware that things can be incredibly challenging, and I am aware of how it will already be. What do you want to do, I asked the players at the end of our conversation.

One or two spoke, “They know they need to work,” and they know we can’t commit the same fundamental errors that are letting us down.

No one is intentionally doing anything; instead, they are making an effort.

However, after fans turned to Jorgen Strand Larsen, who had received a £55m summer offer from Newcastle, for his late penalty miss, Edwards had to defend him.

He continued, “People have long loved someone who can come back and turn things around.” People will be impressed by how much work and effort was put forth in total.

In his public comments, Edwards has portrayed optimism and realism, but both are true.

The coaching staff believes that players are becoming more fit and courageous on the field of play, but that is not being demonstrated in games.

Before suffering in the last minute at Arsenal, they had a successful week of training, and it continued this week as a result of Edwards’ constant improvement.

He complains that the squad has lost track of the fundamentals of football, including running, pressing, and positional intelligence, and believes that the sport has lost track of fundamentals.

Wolves must accept the rebuilding process with care as soon as possible thanks to Edwards’ plan to begin it in January.

Before the end of the season, they must get a head start on the summer, but it won’t look like they’re giving in to relegation.

Additionally, players will have agendas.

Joao Gomes, who hasn’t played for Brazil since March, will both hope to win the World Cup, along with South Korean Hwang Hee-chan, who has had limited playing time in the past two months.

Premier League know-how will be sought after a summer when the club’s executives admitted they had the window opennched, and homegrown players will be targeted because Wolves are currently filling their non-homegrown quota.

However, Edwards is aware that some Wolves fans will be reluctant to join as the threat of the Championship looms in their place.

Doherty remarked, “It needs to be] a good transfer window.” Whatever is needed, whether it is in the loan market or otherwise.

“We will need some fresh energy, I won’t specify which positions, but we need something,” he said.
