WOLVES FANS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE PERFORMANCE AGAINST LEEDS
CRAIG HICKEY
DAZZLING DAVE
Same old Wolves. Same old rubbish. Leeds hadn’t scored a Premier League goal in weeks, and of course, they turn up at Molineux and suddenly look like peak Barcelona against us. We actually went ahead through Krejčí – decent finish, something to cling onto – but within minutes it all fell apart, again.
Calvert-Lewin’s header was bad enough, completely unmarked in the box, but then we concede a free-kick and Stach smashes it past Sa like we’ve never even seen a set piece before. And just when you think we’ll limp to half-time only a goal down, we let Okafor stroll through and stick a third in the corner. Shambles.
Second half? More of the same. Pereira throws on Larsen, Munetsi, Hugo Bueno, and what happens? Absolutely nothing. No urgency, no fight, no plan. Munetsi had one half-chance with a header, but let’s be honest – Leeds could’ve played the second half in their slippers and still gone home with the points.
Five games, five losses, rooted to the bottom. This is supposed to be a Premier League club, but right now, we look like a side sleepwalking into the Championship. Embarrassing.
PAM WELLS
Changes from last week which might give us hope. Lopez back is maybe a good sign.
Great start. We kept up the momentum for about another ten minutes and you could see Leeds gaining confidence and getting stronger in a horrendous 15 mins between 30 mins and half time they scored 3 goals and made us look like a championship team.

Today we kicked off a six-pointer very early in the season. This team needs to show its identity, and we hoped for a more attacking start after how we began the campaign.
I was surprised by Vítor’s lineup. What was the reasoning? It made us look unbalanced, and it exposed existing problems in the side.
We started well with an early goal, against a team that clearly has issues. But after scoring, we sat back and defended. Why do that? It’s naive.
We let Leeds back into the game with goals that should have been defended better. As we keep saying, Agbadou and Toti made mistakes in the back line that are hurting us.
There’s complacency in our play, and who is the leader on the pitch rallying the team? It wasn’t evident today. The performance was a tough watch.
We had to chase the game again. At this rate, we could be the sixth club to register five defeats to start a season. Something has to give, and Vítor needs the team talk of his life to get this group playing. It’s hard to watch a team that did well under him in the second half of last season now lacking a clear identity.
Second half we created few chances and kept leaving space for Leeds, especially down our right side. The team looked all over the place.
We huffed and puffed after halftime, created little, and most efforts were off target. We didn’t test their goalkeeper. Vítor has a big job to get this team playing. I’m concerned about where this project is going; the fans aren’t happy.
Time to regroup and reset. We were poor and looked lost after a bright start. Something has to change to get us back to our standards. The first half was the difference, which is so frustrating.
Match rating: 3/10 Player of the match: Krejci

Absolutely ridiculous. Well done to Kerci for his goal, but we can’t sit on a one-goal lead. Vítor’s tactics aren’t working at all. My man of the match is Kerci.

Dreadful, just dreadful ! VP got the selection wrong – again ! Hugo Bueno was my man of the match against Newcastle even though he was on the right. His reward ? Let’s drop him.
VP was at pains to tell us he doesn’t give the shirt – it has to be earned. Yet he keeps leaving out Andre and keeps picking Agbadou – go figure ♂️.
Performance rating ? 3
MOTM ? Krejci
