Wolves boss Rob Edwards has told BBC Radio WM that he "cannot accept" the manner of his team's 3-0 defeat to Brighton, adding that there "wasn't a lack of effort" but it was more a case of not being "at it and on it" at Amex Stadium.

The club are now without an away win in 20 Premier League matches (D5 L15), their worst run since a 23-game stretch between April 2003 and August 2004.

"You can't start a Premier League game like that," Edwards explained. "We got the throw-in from the kick-off but we didn't play it forward and we played it into Brighton's unbelievable press, so before we knew it we were 1-0 down.

"We hadn't woken up or kicked into any sort of gear for the second goal from the corner.

"It was shocking. People weren't doing their jobs which isn't good. I can accept losing a game against a team like this because we know they are light years ahead of us at the moment, but I cannot accept us giving them a start like that.

"The players are human beings - and human beings can be unpredictable at times. We cannot control them with joysticks out there, so unfortunately they will make mistakes.

"I don't know what happened, I can't get into their heads. We prepared well, our warm-up was good, the messages were right, they told me the messages before we went out - but when you go over that white line, you need to do your job.

"There wasn't a lack of effort, it was more about not being mentally engaged. Brighton started at it and on it and, whatever 'at it and on it' looks like, that's not what we were."

When asked if he anticipates a big overhaul this summer, he replied: "There will be. There needs to be. I don't think the group that we have at the moment will be good enough to compete in the league that we are going into.
