EDWARDS LEARNS HE'S GOT PLENTY OF WORK AHEAD

NEW Wolves boss Rob Edwards believes his side got "punished" in big moments following defeat to Crystal Palace in his first game in charge.

- 

Palace had the better of the first half, with Jean-Philippe Mateta missing a good one-on-one chance, but eventually got their reward in the 63rd minute when the ball dropped for Daniel Munoz inside the area to stroke home.

Wolves' heads dropped following the goal and Palace pounced another six minutes later through a moment of brilliance from Yeremy Pino, who whipped one from outside the box into the top right corner via the underside of the bar, for his first Premier League goal.

Palace climbed into the top four while defeat leaves Wolves nine points adrift of safety.

Edwards was keen to take some positives and saw some improvements from his new side.

He said: "The result is disappointing. The result will take the emotions a certain way. I have to try and take emotion out of it and have some clarity.

"In the second half, we were stronger but got punished.
