Three straight defeats have ended Wolves' mini-revival and Rob Edwards needs his men to rediscover their composure.

A five-game unbeaten run sprinkled some positivity on a wretched season, as unity slowly returned to Molineux.

Yet the possibility of setting a record low points total in the Premier League remains, even if talk about the issue has subsided, and Wolves still need points to avoid it.

They still have just eight points, three adrift of Derby County's record of 11 in 2007-08, and first-half displays like Saturday against Chelsea will not help their cause.

Edwards bemoaned the "ludicrous mistakes" which saw Matt Doherty and Yerson Mosquera concede first-half penalties for fouls on Joao Pedro.

The boss admitted to pounding the door in anger following the opening period, with Wolves 3-0 down at the break, but he is likely to be calmer in his pre-match news conference on Tuesday.

They may be going down but they can still avoid the unwanted record and have a say in the relegation battle as they travel to 17th-placed Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Forest have won just two of their past nine Premier League games and a trip to the City Ground may represent Wolves' best chance for points before of games against Arsenal,Crystal Palace,Aston Villa and Liverpool.
