Vitor Pereira\u2019s decision to bench both Joao Gomes and Andre was one of the biggest talking points in Fulham vs Wolves even before a ball was kicked.<\/p>\n

Then, when the Old Gold lost, it was questioned even further. When Wolves went 1-0 down, fans began chanting for the Brazilian pair<\/a>, letting the head coach know they thought he got it wrong on the day.<\/p>\n

Vitor Pereira\u2019s<\/a> decision-making has been wrong way too often this season, and the Wanderers have paid the price once again.<\/p>\n

The head coach described the Fulham defeat as one of the \u2018worst performances\u2019<\/a> he has seen, and he played a big part in that with his Andre and Joao Gomes choice.<\/p>\n

The reasoning has now been revealed.<\/p>\n

Vitor Pereira has spoken about his decision to drop Andre<\/a> and Joao Gomes<\/a> to the bench in Wolves\u2019 3-0 defeat to Fulham.<\/p>\n

It was one of the Portuguese head coach\u2019s strangest decisions following a run of numerous criticisms towards his team selection.<\/p>\n

There are many players vying for a spot in the team, and fans expected change, but they did not think both Brazilians would be dropped.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the game, Pereira said, \u201cIn the last game we played Krejci as a 6, and he gave us a lot of things against Chelsea. Bellegarde was the best player against Burnley. Joao played 90 minutes 3 days ago, so I decided to play Bellegarde.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a manager, if you don\u2019t get results, you try to find the solutions. It\u2019s the same with the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vitor pereira on why he dropped J.Gomes and Andre: “In the last game we played Krejci as a 6 and he gave us a lot of things against Chelsea. Bellegarde was the best player against Burnley. Joao played 90 minutes 3 days ago, so I decided to play Bellegarde.” #wwfc<\/a><\/p>\n

Vitor Pereira has tried nearly everything, and his constant search for \u2018solutions\u2019 is becoming a major concern.<\/p>\n

His future at the club is seemingly heading towards its conclusion, and he has not helped himself at all.<\/p>\n

The Wolves head coach has said that he played Jean Ricner-Bellegarde<\/a> due to him being the best player against Burnley.<\/p>\n

However, David Moller Wolfe<\/a> was the best performer for the Old Gold just days ago against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian was not even brought off the bench against Fulham.<\/p>\n

The manager constantly says one thing and then does not remain consistent in his word. Wolves are too often changing their starting XI, and good performances are not being properly rewarded.<\/p>\n

That has perhaps been one of his biggest problems this season.<\/p>\n
