A disappointing game and result from a Wolves perspective. There quite a few players on the pitch today who were below the standard they have set so far this, understandable to be fair. The main thing missing for me today from Wolves was creativity in the final third.
I could sit here and blame the ref for his handling of the game, especially the late challenge on Jota by Worrall. I think it was a straight red, but as always, it's how the ref sees it. Wolves enjoyed plenty of the ball throughout the game, but Forest created clear openings. The first goal had a bit of luck about with Dorrell's effort deflecting past Ruddy, but Cavaleiro didn't cover himself in any glory with a poor headed clearance moments before. The second goal soon followed, Wolves guilty of giving Osborn too much time to get his effort away.
When Wolves go in at the break and are losing, this season has been rare to say the least, it's interesting to see how they come out to try and get back in the game. The withdrawal of both Doherty and Douglas was a big surprise, replaced by Costa and Morgan Gibbs-White. Both Costa and Cavaleiro now used in Doherty's and Doulglas's positions. Again Wolves enjoyed plenty of the ball, but in the final third again it just wasn't happening. I can barely remember the Forest keeper having to make a save, that's how much pressure Wolves put on his goal. At the other end Ruddy was made to work, and he also tipped another Forest over.
The final ball into the box was poor throughout from Wolves, but we have enjoyed plenty of games where Wolves have scored for fun, today it just didn't happen. It's how wolves bounce back at Ipswich that matters.
