Wolves have crashed to another defeat in the Premier League, losing 4-1 at Molineux to Manchester United.
Wolves fans protested against Fosun this evening, with fans waiting outside the Billy Wright Stand before entering the stadium after 15 minutes had elapsed.
The crowd did their level best to spur Wolves on, but the lack of quality was again on show.
Our player ratings from that disappointing 4-1 defeat. Any you disagree with?
United went ahead after a shocking turnover by Andre, with Bruno Fernandes tapping in.
Wolves actually finished the second-half quite well, and found an equaliser through Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
But United were by far the better side in the second-half, scoring through Bryan Mbeumo and then Mason Mount, before a Fernandes penalty wrapped up the game.
Wolves had looked a bit better defensively in recent weeks, but the backline was all over the place tonight.
Once again, it is difficult to find any positives – but some Wolves fans do think Fer Lopez gave a decent account of himself.

Wolves fans praise Fer Lopez after rare cameo against Man United
Wolves were comfortably beaten by United, who managed 25 shots in the game – the most they’ve managed since Ruben Amorim took charge there.
This evening, Wolves were again found wanting in the final third, with the performances of Jorgen Strand Larsen and Jhon Arias very poor in particular.
In the 54th minute, Wolves lost Bellegarde to an injury, and Edwards sprung a surprise by putting on Fer Lopez, who was back in the squad after a minor injury.
And Lopez, linked with a January exit from Wolves, gave a lively showing that did leave fans impressed.
@Russ_3023: “Clear to see Lopez has huge potential. Yet VP preferred people who run a lot, unforgivable.”
@DRJwwfc: “This team doesn’t have anywhere near enough in it for Lopez to be going out on loan in January.”
Wolves fans, what did you make of Fer Lopez vs Man United? 🐺
The Spaniard was given rare cameo at Molineux
@cfinenglish: “Fer Lopez been one of the only bright sparks in a Wolves shirt, if he does leave in January it’s not for football reasons.”
@DannyB128: “Lopez instantly trying to play forward passes and has absolutely no one to aim for #wwfc.”
@wwfc_c: “Isn’t it crazy that Lopez has already done more than Arias 😂 #wwfc.”
@wwfckane_: “Fer Lopez looks decent though, mad we have a player who wants to go forward and we want to loan him out.”
@pollivision: “How could you watch Fer Lopez and think he shouldn’t be starting for Wolves.”
Wolves cannot let Lopez leave
It was the first time we have seen Lopez for several weeks, and the reported plan to offload him in January is unfathomable.
Lopez was lively and tried to be direct and positive when he came on, and arguably looked much more of a threat than Arias, who continues to struggle.
Lopez is said to be keen to leave, but possibly that is down to how little he’s been used.
Edwards should change that and start turning to Lopez more after tonight, because he did not look out of his depth at all and could genuinely help Wolves if given a proper chance.
