'A lot of the team will want to leave'

Wolves finishing this season in good form will not be much use next campaign if most of their players leave, says BBC pundit Stephen Warnock.

Rob Edwards' side have picked up five of their 13 points this season in their past four games - meaning they avoid going down as the worst team in Premier League history.

But relegation is still extremely likely as they sit 14 points from safety.

Ex-England defender Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "It looks like they'll end up in the Championship next season but they'll believe they can go on a run within that changing room and might be able to do something miraculous.

"I don't see it myself but one thing you look at is a lot of people talk about momentum for next year.

"The problem with that is you need to keep the core of that team. A lot of the team will want to leave because they've been relegated.

"That becomes very difficult for Rob Edwards. What he has to do behind the scenes is change the culture of the club for next season."

Warnock will be the BBC Radio 5 Live co-commentator for Tuesday's match between Wolves and Liverpool (20:15 GMT).
