I know there’s a lot of doom and gloom, but things aren’t as bad as they seem.

In the season Wolves got promoted under Nuno, the team for a while had a defence that contained Roderick Merinda and Danny Batth.

Wolves had players like Bright Enobokhare, Jack Price, Connor Ronan and Ben Marshall - and Nuno was using them. Without tinted glasses, it’s easy to see that these were not great players. Enobokhare promised much but ultimately delivered nothing.

Mateus Mane isn’t playing well at the moment, but he is improving. If he clicks, he will do as he’s promised and smash the Championship.

When people sing the praises of Santi Bueno, they should remember that he only excelled in the sweeper role of a back five. Fans want him in the team, but Nasser Djiga is a better player.



Wolves’ 26/27 squad contains some excellent players. Going forward, at times, they are incredibly easy on the eye. Hopefully Krejci will take Toti’s place and Wolves defensive woes will be a thing of the past. Tchatchoua isn’t that bad at Championship level, but it’ll be a relief to see a fully fit Tripper back.

In 2017/18, when Aston Villa thrashed Wolves 4-1 at Villa Park, Nuno dropped Danny Batth. Will Peixoto have the courage to drop Toti? Both skippers and both dropped after a 4-1 defeat. Who knows.

Drop Toti and get players back from injury and Wolves have one of the best sides in the Championship. There is pretty much two quality players for every position. Going forward there isn’t a team that can match Wolves.
