Former Molineux full-back Andy Thompson has suggested it could be time for Chem Campbell to finally start for Wolves.
Wanderers have really struggled so far this season, especially in the final third.
It’s just six goals scored so far, which is an unacceptable return.
The injuries to Raul Jimenez and Sasa Kalajdzic have been unfortunate. And Diego Costa is still yet to score for the club.
Costa will now be unavailable for Wolves’ next three matches after he picked up a red card against Brentford.
The situation is far from ideal, and Steve Davis must now work out who to play against Brighton this weekend.
Thompson believes it might be time for him to put his faith in Campbell, who is the least used Wolves forward this season.
He said (via Wolves official): “I’m looking through the other players and one that sticks out to me is Chem Campbell. It would be an interesting one to see if he could start a game.
“With Steve Davis being in charge, it’s an opportunity for him, knowing all the young lads coming through and having confidence in them, it will be interesting to see if he does give more of the young lads an opportunity in there.”
Campbell has made seven appearances for the first-team in total, after making his debut against Newcastle United last season.
But he has yet to start a game for Wanderers.
There is a lot of competition is his position, although no one is showing particularly good form at the moment.
Chem Campbell has got to be worth considering for a start for Wolves
Not much has come off for Wolves this season, especially in the final third.
The attacking players have really disappointed and so maybe it’s time for a fresh face.
Campbell is primarily a winger, and excels in those wide areas when playing for the U21s.
But he does have the versatility to play as a striker, although it would be a really big ask for him to lead the line for Wolves.
When he has come on in games for Wolves this season, he has been lively.
Perhaps he could be a pleasant surprise if given the nod from Davis.
