Wolves’ struggles this season boil down to one thing: change. Too much of it, too fast.
First, the summer churn. Seven key departures and six arrivals is a high turnover in any industry, let alone football. The nucleus was ripped out. You can’t fast-track chemistry. New players need time to understand roles, standards, and each other. Right now, it looks like a rebuild without rhythm.

Second, the starting XI keeps changing. We haven’t had a settled team to build patterns, trust, and cohesion. Even VÃtor Pereira admitted in his post-match press conference that he doesn’t know his best XI. If the manager is still searching, the players will be too. That uncertainty shows in the mistakes and the game management.
Where are the leaders? Right now, the silence is deafening.
We lost strong voices and characters on the pitch and didn’t replace them. Toti is the new captain, but the extra responsibility seems to have unsettled his usual play.

Then there is the change we need. Agbadou has made critical errors that have cost goals and points. The defence looks fragile, shipping three at home to Leeds, a side that hadn’t scored from open play this season. We spent £30m on a central defender in Ladislav Krejci and have played him in midfield. He is a seasoned leader and could help shore up the back line. That adjustment feels overdue.
Finally, the fans want change. The unrest is growing, clear in the chants aimed at Fosun: “You’ve sold the team, now sell the club.” Supporters can accept a rebuild, but they want a plan, clarity, and visible progress, instead Wolves seem to regress year on year as we consistently sell our best players.
Wolves don’t need new ideas. Vitor needs to know his best team. Settle the XI, restore leadership, fix the back line, and stick to it. Stability is the first step to points.
