Wolves boss Rob Edwards has been speaking to the media before Monday's Premier League game against Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 20:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • On having 10 days without a game: "It's been good – we've managed to get a few days after an intense period. It's been strange having 10 days between games. It's been needed."
  • On their hopes, he said: "Our aim is and always has been to try to achieve as many points as possible. Go into every game trying to win it. Try to take things as far as we can and take momentum into next season."
  • On teenager Mateus Mane: "He has made a great impact and start to his career. It's too early to be able to put him into the bracket with Premier League legends [for appearances made]. We think a lot of him but he's got a long way to go. He's working incredibly hard."
  • More on Mane, who hasn't scored for two months: "He's still been affecting games without scoring. He was involved in goals against Arsenal. He still does things in games a lot of people won’t see that make him important. He’s top of our running every game and most days in training.”
  • On their form: "Once you get momentum you want to try to keep things going and ride that wave. We have had a couple of decent results but our performances for some time have been consistent."
  • On carrying momentum into next season even if the squad is different: "There will be change in the playing squad. But we, as a football club, need to remember how to win games and make the whole place feel lighter and brighter, which has been happening recently. Try to lift the cloud and find that winning formula."
  • More on that: "It was difficult when we came here but I feel now, across the board and with the supporters, there's a different energy around – more people with smiles on their faces and I can see them getting behind the team."
  • On having 25 days until their next game: "It's going to be really interesting. We have got a plan of what we want to do. Some players can get down time and a break and a couple of good weeks of training. We'll arrange at least one game. When we get the guys back [from internationals] we can have another preparation week going into the West Ham game. We have to make the best of it.”
  • On Brentford boss Keith Andrews, his ex-Wolves team-mate: "Keith has done a brilliant job and he should be really proud. He's one of the candidates for manager of the year. It's testament to the whole club that they can lose a big player and big manager and continue to grow."
