David: What chance have you got if you miss opportunities in the goal area? Wolves should have gone in at half time 3-2 up not 0-2 down. You can't afford to miss glaring opportunities from 6ft in this league.

Monday’s game will have been painfully familiar to Wolves fans, who found themselves on the wrong end of the same brand of Nuno ball which had lifted them into Europe under the Portuguese, who delivered consecutive seventh-placed finishes in 2018-19 and 2019-20.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood scored early and late in a two-goal first half and Nottingham Forest's defense stayed stingy, pushing the third-place Tricky Trees to a 3-0 win over Wolves at the Molineux on Monday.
