Super Eagles forward, Tolu Arokodare insists Wolves still have belief despite being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League.

New head coach Rob Edwards lost his first game in charge after Crystal Palace earned a deserved 2-0 victory at Molineux on Saturday.

It left Wolves bottom, winless from their opening 12 games and nine points from safety – eight behind Burnley in 19th – ahead of Sunday’s trip to Aston Villa.

“I’m not going to say it could turn but I’m saying it will get better,” said Arokodare, who has scored twice for Wolves, both in the Carabao Cup, this season.

“It’s a long season, 12 games have gone, we haven’t got the results we wanted, but we can’t hold onto that. We have to focus on the next ones. There is the belief – we cannot lose hope now. We cannot doubt ourselves.

“We have to stick together, stay focused and confident and go into every game and try to win it.”
