Loanee Nigel Lonwijk has now done something Wolves have failed to do this season

Wolves have plenty of players out on loan, and Nigel Lonwijk, who is at Luton Town, has just done something spectacular.

The loan move for the Dutch defender seems to have gone well so far. The Hatters manager Jack Wilshere recently praised Lonwijk for his performances.

Additionally, while normally a centre-back, Wilshere has been trialling the Wolves loanee at full-back, and that has seemed to be a success.

And on Thursday night, when Luton Town took on Reading away from home, Lonwijk managed to pull something off that every Wolves player this season has failed to do.

Which first-team loanee do you think Wolves regret loaning out most?

• Nasser Djiga – Rangers
• Tommy Doyle – Birmingham
• Pedro Lima – Porto / Porto B
• Nigel Lonwijk – Luton Town
• Boubacar Traore – FC Metz
• Sasa Kalajdzic – LASK

Nigel Lonwijk scores stunning goal for Luton from outside the box

At Luton, despite being 6’5″, Nigel Lonwijk has been transformed into a full-back, and it has been a role he looks to be excelling in.

Over the Hatters’ last three games, Lonwijk has started all of them on the wide right of a four-man defence.

And on Thursday night, he pulled off a sensational equaliser for his side. With the score at 2-1 in the 76th minute to Reading, Lonwijk produced a strike that Ruben Neves would have been proud of.

Unfortunately for the defender, his strike would not provide Luton with any points, as just two minutes later, Reading would retake the lead.

But he joins Tommy Doyle in having what looks to be a successful loan spell.

However, he did do something Rob Edwards’ side have failed to do as a collective throughout the whole of this season.

Wolves have not scored from outside the box this season

Across all competitions, Wolves have yet to score a goal outside the box.

There have been 17 goals scored by the Old Gold, but it seems they can only find their finishing prowess from inside the 18-yard box.

Additionally, goals from range have been an issue for the Wanderers, conceding 10 across all competitions.

Most recently, a strong performance against Aston Villa was ultimately decided by Boubacar Kamara’s long-range effort.

Hopefully Rob Edwards can find ways for the Old Gold to start scoring different kinds of goals. Being able to use various methods of goal scoring is a huge benefit.
