Dave Edwards: Wolves will be at full throttle

Edwards's ninth goal of the season helped Kenny Jackett's champions to a 1-1 draw away to Coventry on Saturday.

It put them on 100 points but they need to beat relegation-threatened Carlisle in their final game of the season on Saturday to claim the milestone of being the best third-tier team ever by claiming Charlton's 101-point milestone achieved in 2011-12.

It was thought the record was Plymouth's 102 achieved in 2001-02 but that achieved the Third Division, then the fourth tier.

Edwards, who has now bagged six goals in nine games and nine from just 21 starts, vowed Wolves will be at full throttle as they prepare to receive the trophy.

"No one is thinking of the beaches just yet – we want that record in front of a sell-out crowd at Molineux and getting the trophy afterwards will be a great occasion to play in," said the Wales international.

"We don't need to be told but it's set up beautifully now.

"We still need three points for the record and we're at home in front of a full house on a good pitch so there will no excuses from us.

"Anyone who gets the chance to play in that game will want to do well.

"Hopefully we'll have a good week in training and everyone will be up for it on Saturday."

Edwards revealed his disappointment after his 84th-minute opener was cancelled out within 60 seconds by Danny Batth's own goal.

"We've talked about it before – we've had a tendency in the last couple of months of getting ahead then have a dodgy five minutes," he said.

"We spoke about it before the game that we need to start pressing and make sure they don't come near our box.

"It was one of those things where we pressed but gave an unfortunate foul away.

"Then after that, he (Mark Marshall) had the wind with him and he whipped a great ball in and sometimes you can't defend those."

Edwards converted after substitute Bakary Sako – who was celebrating his 26th birthday – spotted his late run into the box and delivered a superb cross.

And the 28-year-old insisted the Frenchman is a matchwinner.

"It's moments like that which change games and he's a matchwinner," he said.

"To have someone like him coming off the bench is great and it's nice as an attacker to know that when he gets the ball, he's going to put it in a dangerous area."
