Wolves are looking to steer clear of the relegation zone after the international break – but one man is arguably being let down by his teammates right now.
Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table after seven games, having not yet picked up a win.
It’s just two points taken from the first seven games, and fans are certainly concerned at the moment.
But in recent weeks there have been signs of improvement, and Vitor Pereira has issued a rallying cry to fans after the latest draw with Brighton.
Pereira has promised that this Wolves team will rise again, and that fans will be left feeling proud.
But the manager still has plenty to fix, with one of the biggest issues right now being the scoring of goals.
And one man who’ll be hoping to see that aspect of the team improve is Hugo Bueno.
Hugo Bueno is being let down by his Wolves teammates
When Rayan Ait-Nouri left Wolves, the door swung open for Hugo Bueno, who had returned from a loan spell at Feyenoord.
But that door then looked to have closed again with the club’s signing of David Moller Wolfe.
To Bueno’s credit though, he has taken his opportunities when they’ve come, and Moller Wolfe has hardly had a look in so far as a result.
And there is an argument to say that Bueno has actually been one of Wolves’ best players so far.
However, there is one surprising statistic about the Spaniard up to now, and that is that he is yet to actually register an assist this season.
This is despite supplying 13 successful open play crosses (via official Premier League data). 46.4% of his crosses have found a teammate so far, making him the most consistent crosser in the league.
Furthermore, Bueno has created 10 chances in the Premier League.
So the fact he has no assists to his name yet is something of a travesty, and rather shames the attacking players in the team.
Bueno doing his bit
Bueno deserves great credit for the way he has started the season.
He must have felt slightly disappointed when he discovered the club were bringing in Moller Wolfe, but his response has been fantastic.
Bueno – who has urged Wolves to be more attacking – has embraced the fight, and is currently winning that battle with ease.
The Spaniard has been so positive down that left side for Wolves, and he should really have at least a couple of assists to his name so far this term.
And not only is he being impressively creative, but Bueno is even showing leadership, finishing the game with Tottenham Hotspur as captain.
Hopefully, those around him can start operating at a similar level. If enough people do so, Wolves will surely start to climb the table.
