Will Unwin was at Molineux, and here’s his verdict. Thanks for reading this MBM.

A much happier Rob Edwards talks to Sky Sports … though he still takes the opportunity to fire a shot across the bows of grumbling supporters. “It was a great moment … a good night for the Football Club … it was only a draw but to come back from 2-0 down against one of the best teams in Europe is pretty special … a good performance as well … that’s three defeats in 11 games so we’re not doing that bad … we’re not giving up … we know what could happen but we’re never going to give up, all the way to the 38th game, and we’re showing that … I hope everyone has a little bit of realism and understands what we’re up against … we were never going to roll Arsenal over easily … especially when you go 1-0 down early on … I’d have liked a little bit more backing at that point if I’m being honest … but the way we finished, the energy was around … the lads are fighting hard, but Arsenal are really good … we didn’t lose our heads … took control for long periods … really proud of the players … we want to try to build some momentum and a connection around the place … I can understand the frustration and anger … it’s been really tough … but we have to try to find a way to energise the players in difficult moments … some really good energy tonight … we have to try to bottle it … I don’t want to make a big headline of it … the fans are well within their rights to feel hurt and angry this year … I get it … but during the game it’s going to help the players if they have their backing … it was there at the end.”
