Analysis: Tough task for Edwards

The Wolves job is seen as a dream role for incoming manager Rob Edwards as he arranges his departure from Middlesbrough.

The 42-year-old made more than 100 appearances for Wolves between 2004 and 2008, and his family still live in the Midlands.

But this is a tough time to join a bottom-of-the-table club who have not won since April.

They lack quality in the squad and only stayed competitive at Stamford Bridge until Chelsea scored.

Wolves took 61 minutes to register a shot on goal. They managed just three shots in the match - none on target - and had only 35.5% possession.

However, they showed resilience until conceding in the 51st minute.

That could give Edwards a foundation to build on, but the challenge is huge. No club has survived with as few as two points after 11 games in Premier League history.

Their spirit could help, but Wolves face major problems and potentially lack that underlying quality from their players to survive.
