Yahoo Sports

Wolves boss Rob Edwards has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Fulham at Molineux Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Goalkeeper Jose Sa is available, while Hugo Bueno and captain Ladislav Krejci are also in contention after training on Friday. Edwards said there are a few players with "a couple of knocks," but added that's "normal for this stage of the season".

On the fans forum that took place midweek: "It was never going to be all sunshine and roses. A lot of people are hurting and that's completely understandable. We are as well.

It was valuable and great to hear some of the supporters' points of view, and to listen - as well as to communicate our points too. " He said he "took a lot of good faith" in the number of supporters who spoke to him after it finished, "showing their support and saying they hope we can be the ones to turn it around". He spoke about how they "are going to work really hard now to build a team, a squad, and a better club" for the future.

On his post-match interview after the Brighton defeat: "I was frustrated with the first five minutes. That was my biggest bugbear because you can't start a game like that. It was a lack of focus and making the wrong decisions, which you can't afford to do against anyone at this level.

" He said they "will chuck everything at it to win" the remaining two games because they "don't want to finish bottom of the league so that's something to aim for". On the summer: "There's going to be a lot of change. A fresh look with people who want to be here and have a real hunger from day one.
