Wolves vs Nottm Forest

Wolves vs Nottingham Forest recap: Ruben Neves scored from the penalty spot to see Wolves' snap their three-game losing skid with a 1-0 victory.

QUESTIONABLE: Boubacar Traore (illness) Steve Cooper signed a new contract to remain as head coach (with added security), despite the poor start, as owner Evangelos Marinakis opted in favor of familiarity and continuity rather than tossing aside the man who won Forest promotion after a handful of games in the PL. For Forest, (un)familiarity has bred poor, incohesive performances after 22 new players arrived in the summer. It’s difficult to create chances without a midfield or wide playmaker, just as it’s difficult to convert chances without a reliable striker, but to lack both is a harsh reality that Wolves (and whoever replaces Bruno Lage on a permanent basis) navigate. Bruno Lage’s side is no longer Bruno Lage’s side, with many thanks to the Premier League’s worst scoring record (four goals fewer than anyone else). The victory sends Wolves (9 points) up to 17th in the Premier League table, now two points above Southampton who enter the relegation zone ahead of their clash with West Ham United on Sunday.
