Unfortunately for Wolves, their hopes have been dashed, but larger concerns loom ahead.
Advancing to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup would have provided a much-needed boost to a challenging season, which is likely to culminate in relegation.
Such a progression would have generated momentum as they enter the final eight matches, aiming to delay the inevitable drop to the Championship.
Despite being firmly entrenched in the relegation zone, Rob Edwards has made strides in improving the situation at Wolves. They are exhibiting greater competitiveness, enhanced work ethic, and a vibe that contradicts their position at the bottom of the Premier League.
However, their performance in what ultimately became their FA Cup exit didn’t measure up to their recent league victories over Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Wolves have managed only three league wins this season, and Edwards is likely to be disappointed with their second-half collapse.
