Dave Edwards: Wolves players need to handle the pressure

Crystal Palace were missing key players and I think that elevated the expectations of the fan base, but it ended up being quite a difficult evening at Molineux. 

Wolves didn't play particularly well in the first half. We struggled to get the game going and once Palace scored, that's when the atmosphere changed.

I was worried for five or 10 minutes because I've been in that situation so many times at Wolves where the crowd is starting to get frustrated and as a player on the pitch, you get a little bit desperate and you start doing things which aren't necessary on the game plan.

They were ragged, all over the place and there were big gaps everywhere for a few minutes, but they managed to get a terrific goal. 

Matheus Cunha was at the heart of it, who I thought was fabulous with his creativity. 

Pablo Sarabia should have scored a couple goals before that, but that was a moment that Wolves really needed and it was a lovely finish from Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Wolves had the fans behind them and they had the momentum as they scored another excellent goal. I'm really happy for Joao Gomes to score because he epitomised what you want as a Wolves fan, showing bravery, courage, heart and quality as well. He was superb. 

From there, you really want Wolves to be able to take the sting out of the game a little bit but they got undone with such a sloppy set play. It was disappointing. 

Look at the mistakes for both goals - it must be so frustrating for Gary O'Neil.

They have good attacking players who create chances and score goals, but they're creating their own problems in defence.

That's where Wolves need to sort themselves out if they're going to start to put themselves out of that relegation zone and start to move up the table.

If we keep conceding goals like we do, then things aren't going to get much easier for Gary O'Neil and his men.

Molineux is an absolutely fabulous place to play football. 

I look back on my career and I feel very fortunate to have played in those atmospheres.

The crowd can get frustrated and in hindsight, when I look back, I can appreciate they're doing it because it means so much to them.

They're not doing it because they dislike you as a person, as a team or as a player, it's just because they want so much for the football club. 

You've got to see that pressure as a privilege, that you get to play in that atmosphere and it means that much to them and you're the person who gets to carry it on the pitch for them. The players have got to harness that. 

It's a huge football match on Saturday. With the international break around the corner, it is too early in the season to say it's a must win, but it's as close as it can be at this time, with Southampton picking up their first win of the season.

The fans will expect Wolves to get three points, but Southampton are a good team who keep the ball extremely well and could frustrate Wolves.

But Wolves have got far too much quality in the attacking thirds to not score goals. As long as they can be more resilient at the other end, then Wolves should win that game. 

It's going to be a game where the players are going to have to be brave and handle the pressure of what will be, at times, an incredible atmosphere. But when there is a bit of adversity, it's going to be difficult as well. You've got to find a way to manage that as a player.
