Wolves put on an awful display against Brentford which lacked any kind of quality in the final third as they lost 2-0.
The Old Gold struggled for quality in the final third in the first-half, but weren’t troubled too much by Brentford in what was a rather dull start to the game.
The selection of Jose Sa caught a few people by surprise but he pulled off a number of good saves to keep Wolves in the game.
However, as has been typical of Wolves’ season, a mistake from Ladislav Krejci allowed Lewis Keane-Potter to score the opening goal of the game for Brentford.
After the goal, Brentford doubled their lead with ease through Keane-Potter once again, before Jorgen Strand Larsen missed from the penalty spot.
The search for a first win goes on…🫤
What changes does Rob Edwards need to make to get a tune out of this Wolves side?
Here are the ratings.
Wolves player ratings vs Brentford
Jose Sa – 6
Made a number of quality saves to keep Wolves in the game. One of his better games considering his history of mistakes.
Ki-Jana Hoever – 5
Looked bright in patches down the right-hand side but lacked any real quality with the ball.
Matt Doherty – 5
Didn’t do an awful lot wrong. Won a number of duels and recoveries, but relatively quiet.
Santiago Bueno – 5
Similar to Doherty, looked quite assured in possession and was probably the pick of the bunch in terms of the centre-backs.
Ladislav Krejci – 4
Made an error of judgement to let the ball bounce for Brentford’s first goal and didn’t look quite as comfortable in defence compared to midfield.
David Moller Wolfe – 6
Perhaps the best player on the field for Wolves. Showed quality in the final third to fashion some chances and worked tirelessly to try and make things happen.
Joao Gomes – 6
Joao Gomes displayed his skill at times with some neat interplay and a few smart passes.
Andre – 5
Nothing overly special from Andre against Brentford. He battled hard and linked play, but just couldn’t influence much in the final third.
Fer Lopez – 5
Showed glimpes of potential on the ball. But often looked lightweight and was dispossessed on numerous occasions.
Hwang Hee-chan – 4
Lacked quality on the ball and gave it away a few times. Just looks devoid of confidence in the final third and offers very little attacking threat.
Jorgen Strand Larsen – 3
Isolated up top again at times but also struggled to hold up the ball when he did get the chances. Missed a penalty with an awful attempt that epitomises his season.
Who was the biggest Wolves disappointment vs Brentford?🤕
Substitutes
Mateus Mane – 5
Looked bright after being brought on by Rob Edwards. Tried to take the game to Brentford but nothing really came off for the youngster.
Tolu Arokodare – 5
Almost made an immediate impact with a blocked shot. Other than that his service was very limited.
Jhon Arias – N/A
Jackson Tchatchoua – N/A
