Dave Edwards: Drop-off inevitable after Wolves’ big effort in FA Cup
After everything Wolves put in against Brighton in midweek, it is hard to say you did not see a drop-off coming.
I was at the Brighton game, and I saw how hard the players had to work. I saw the toll it was taking on them, playing against a Brighton team that makes you think so much about the work you need to do off the ball as well as the physical work.
I saw a lot of weary legs at the end of that game, a lot of niggles, injuries, and of course, some of the team did not make it with Hwang Hee-Chan being out injured and Joao Gomes missing out as well.
So I was worried about this game against Newcastle. I was hoping they could really dig deep and find it in them to put in a performance.
Obviously we know now they fell to a 3-0 defeat. I must admit I did not think it was a 3-0 game. I thought it was close, but the goals were avoidable.
