Edwards admits he was left disappointed with their performance for the 1-0 reverse.
He said afterwards: “I’m really disappointed with tonight. Compared to the levels that we set on Sunday, it was almost the opposite tonight. I asked the players at half time if they were scared. They said they weren’t. I looked into each of their eyes and let it linger for about 30 seconds and asked again, ‘Are you?’ No was the answer.
“But it was very passive and looked in the first half like we were afraid to make a mistake. I don’t know if that was based on the reaction of the crowd, but maybe that’s human nature. I know we conceded in the second half, but I felt the game was lost in the first half with the lack of intensity and we didn’t show any of the things I want from my team, and that hurts.
“But we’re in the position we’re in now. It looked bleak when I arrived and we can’t affect what goes on elsewhere. But we can affect what we can do, but we didn’t do our job tonight. We don’t want to die like that. That’s going to be the message now going forward – we don’t want to go out with a whimper.”
On the Molineux support, Edwards added: “I understand. I don’t know when the last time was they saw the team win, so I get it. I’d be really angry if I was one of our fans as well.
"I don’t feel it’s a criticism on me right now, I feel like they’ve been really supportive of me, but I’d be angry if I was a Wolves supporter at the moment, because they want the team to win.
