Dave Edwards says Wolves need to keep their heads in possession

DAVE Edwards says Wolves must relax as they attempt to pick themselves up following their derby surrender to Blues.

The Wales midfielder admits Mick McCarthy’s men were poor last weekend but says it was due to “trying too hard” rather than not caring enough.

“Maybe we put a bit too much pressure on ourselves to get a result and after such a bad start never got into the game,” the former Shrewbury and Luton player said.

“We need to relax a little bit more out there and find some confidence and hopefully it will be a much different performance from us against Bolton. At times it seems like we were trying very hard and it wasn’t quite happening – it was one of those games when we seemed a million miles away even though the effort was still there. When we’re in possession we have to just calm down a bit and not be 100 miles an hour and keep the ball and create something.”
