Sunderland midfielder Carlos Edwards feels he's getting back to his best.

"I am my biggest critic and I know that I never started at the beginning of the season," said Edwards.

"Looking back at all the injuries, my sharpness was not there, my head was not right. Many things can play a part and it's up to the individual to be positive.

"The manager brought in new players, I fell back. It was a kick in the teeth and I was sent out on loan at Wolves.

"I'm now feeling that the Carlos Edwards of old is back."
