Wolves were beaten again yesterday, this time by Brighton at Molineux.
Wanderers fell to defeat in what was a very lively game, and gave a spirited performance.
Wolves had looked good in the first-half, right up until just before the half-time whistle when Nelson Semedo got sent off.
But the 10 men of Wolves didn’t lie down, and pushed for another goal.
But it was Brighton who got the winner in the lates stages through Pascal Gross, which was a really hard one to take. Arguably, Wolves deserved a point.
Ultimately, it was poor defending that led to Wolves’ demise yesterday.
Semedo had an absolute nightmare, and Jonny Castro Otto was also poor after he came on at half-time.
Nathan Collins and Maximilian Kilman showed that their partnership is still in its infancy.
Steve Davis spoke after the game, and had an instruction for incoming manager Julen Lopetegui in his post-match press conference.
He said, as quoted by journalist Nathan Judah: “If I was Julen, I’d be looking to add some more quality and balance in January.”
Lopetegui was confirmed by Wolves yesterday morning.
He will start work officially at the club a week on Monday.
Steve Davis is right, Wolves’ squad needs a few additions in January
Wolves’ squad could indeed do with a couple of additions in January.
Another centre-back should be on the agenda, just in case one of Collins or Kilman picks up an injury.
A right-back should also be considered, with Semedo and Jonny both really struggling.
And another new centre-forward could also be a possibility. Maybe the play should be to get someone in on loan.
