Wolves‘Momentum is good under new manager Victor Pereira The side came to a standstill after losing 3-0 at home to Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest on Monday night. For Lao Jin, this is a disappointing result Won two and tied one before under their new boss.

It was the home side’s worst start yet, with former star Morgan Gibbs-White giving Forest the lead. To be fair, there was no love lost between the Molineux fans and Forest’s No. 10, who was booed in the stands. The goal Wolves conceded was a poor one, allowing Gibbs-White to sprint into acres of space in front of goal.

The Old Gold came close to equalizing twice through Jorgen Strand-Larsen. After Hwang’s brilliant performance, his first shot was blocked off the line and Mats Selz denied him with another brilliant close-range save.

Forest scored again on the stroke of half-time through the in-form Chris Wood. The New Zealand international found space in the box and fired in a cross. Forest’s third goal late in second-half stoppage time, from Taiwo Awoniyi, helped Wolves fight back.

It was certainly a disappointing night for Pereira’s side, with a poor performance from the entire squad.

Wolves’ worst player against Forest

One of the Old Gold’s most frustrating performers on Monday night was veteran Matt Doherty. The Irishman struggled to cope with the pace and power of Callum Hudson-Odoi, which led to Wood’s goal.

Indeed, I noticed this By Charlie Haffenden, Birmingham World Correspondent. Football Writers gave Doherty a rating of 4/10, explaining that he made a “shocking defense” of Wood’s goal just before half-time.

Another player who has played for Pereira is midfielder Tommy Doyle. The Manchester City academy graduate replaced Andre in the starting lineup and struggled to make much of an impact in the center of the park, both with and without the ball.

This is also reflected in him Statistics on Sofascore at the end of the game. The 23-year-old touched the ball 38 times but created no chances and conceded the ball six times. He had also just won two ground duels and had not won any aerial duels.

While Dougherty and Doyle’s performances against Old Gold on Monday were disappointing, one could argue it was even more disappointing. That player is Goncalo Guedes.

Guedes’ statistics against Forest

It was a frustrating night for the Portugal international, but not for a lack of effort. Gerdes worked hard but with little success, running tirelessly all night without any results. However, he may have been blamed for Gibbs-White’s opener, his poor header being the reason Forest regained possession in the first place.

His grim nights in the office are certainly reflected in the full-time numbers. The 28-year-old, who was taken off after 75 minutes, had a disappointing 42 touches and lost the ball 11 times, and failed to complete either of his two dribbles. Guedes also lost the duel in seven of his attempts.

His performance earned him a 5/10 rating from Haffenden. The journalist criticized Guedes’ error in Forest’s first goal, saying his “bad header” was the reason for the goal. He also explained that he had “a lot of unsuccessful dribbling attempts,” which is indeed what the statistics show.

Wolves’ next Premier League assignment will be a tough trip to Newcastle United just days after their FA Cup clash with Bristol City. It looks like Pereira may be dropping Guedes from the side after his impressive display against Forest.

If he does give up on the winger, he won’t be short of options. Carlos Forbes and Pablo Sarabia are both players who can step into the No. 10 role, and Jean-Rickner Bellegarde can also contribute further.

Giving up on Guedes would be a bold decision as he has started three of the four games under Pereira so far. However, after the 0-3 defeat to Forest, we need to make some changes, and maybe this is the change that the new and old coach Jin needs to make.
