I am frustrated with Nuno in regard to a number of things, but I absolutely agree with the comments that a lot of the blame has to lie with the players.
It’s unfortunate that some of our new signings, like Semedo and RAN, appear to have the heart of peas. Both talented players - but when you look to them for a bit of fight, responsibility or reliability they are sorely lacking. We’ve gone from a tight-knit group who would fight for each other at any cost - who would throw themselves in front of anything for the cause (but actually had quality & flair to back it up), to a group of players who duck out of tackles - who dive to the floor (hi Fabio) - and who don’t seem bothered when we lose. The amount of second balls we lost today was embarrassing - it’s genuinely stuff you’re taught in school.
What on earth was Boly doing walking off laughing, smiling and fist pumping BFS when you’ve just lost against your biggest rivals and have one win in nine. How does he think that comes across to the fans?
I can already see how this thread is going - with the standard excuses being dragged out. I don’t care that I grew up watching Wolves finish season, after season in the middle of the championship. It’s irrelevant now. We are a team packed with international footballers and what’s being served up right now is no where near good enough.
The senior players need to make a u-turn in form (players like Rui, Moutinho & Coady). And the new signings need to go for a walk around the museum and get an understanding of what it means to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers and for the shirt.
There is so much wrong with us right now it’s difficult to know where to start. Nuno can work his bollocks off all week drilling “solutions” in to the team, but if the players attitudes aren’t right there’s not much he can do.
I really hope Jeff & co are backtracking right now on the “no new signings this window” line because we need something - anything - to lift us out of this slump. Our form is dreadful and we look a million miles away from putting any sort of run together.
Apologies that this is quite a negative post. I hope it doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of the club anymore.
