Wolves blog: Nuno's men will dish out a good hiding soon

An astounding 30 shots were fired towards Joe Hart’s goal – who was, incidentally, head and shoulders above his team-mates in terms of performance.

In all six games Wolves have now played, their shot total has finished in double figures. Only Manchester City had more shots than Wolves in a game.

In total, Wolves have had 90 shots – and scored seven goals. Currently this is probably Nuno’s only problem, being clinical – though it hasn’t really hindered them as they have lost just once (and didn’t deserve to anyway).

If Wolves had won that match against Leicester, they would be sitting in fifth place.

How many chances did Wolves spurn on Saturday? The most glaring were Diogo Jota’s poor lay-off to Raul Jimenez and Leo Bonatini’s miskicked finish – but plenty other players were guilty of not finishing great chances.

Wolves have no problem in getting into the opposition box – they love getting down the goal-line and causing havoc. But the only complaint anyone can have is the lack of end product, be it a pass or a shot. Sort that issue and Wolves will move to another level – and it won’t be long before a team is on the end of a hiding at Wolves’ hands.

Wolves should have nothing to fear from any team in this league – the way they play is so instilled in that team, which has so far remained unchanged. The defence looks solid, the midfield is a metronome with pinpoint accuracy and the forwards have dangerous dribbling and movement.

Wolves’ key strength probably comes from the wing-backs. Matt Doherty has performed at Wolves at every level and he is excelling in Nuno’s team.

You could see before the game, during the warm-up, the team were practicing low balls played into the box from Matt Doherty.

Wolves brought in Jonny Castro apparently for more defensive surety – but he is comfortable attacking the opposition box and has adapted perfectly to life in English football.

There was a hint towards the end of the game that some fans were turning on Bonatini – he did miss some great chances but in his current role as deputy to Jimenez, he is able to play a similar role to the Mexican and keep up that intensity late in the game.

It was Bonatini who played the ball perfectly for Adama Traore to finish at West Ham – we just need to him to start finding the net.

I’m glad I put Rui Patricio and Ryan Bennett in my fantasy team this week – Wolves are looking a decent bet for clean sheet points after two in a row, but Patricio won’t be collecting any bonus points if Wolves’ defence continues to act as an impenetrable wall.

On to Manchester United – when is the last time we headed to Old Trafford with full belief Wolves have a chance of walking away with something? Can Nuno outwit his old boss? Anything is possible for the Molineux men at the moment.
