1) What is the best thing about being a Wolves fan this week?

Although not the most fluent or attractive performance under Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves found a way to win, they stood strong and in the end the quality shone through.

As much as I thoroughly enjoy the total football philosophy that Wolves have in place, we can’t expect gorgeous football week in week out and the performance at Forest showed that Wolves have the fight to go with the finesse when a result needs grinding out.

2) And the worst?

It has been hard to pull out negatives or worst things of late as Wolves have made such a great start to the season.

Sitting on the same points as top of the league and averaging 2.125 points per game after eight games and still in the league cup surely gives Wolves fans very little or nothing negative to concern us this week.

3) Sum up the last performance/result in 50 words

Wolves were incredibly well organised and other than Forest’s goal from distance, Nuno’s well drilled set up restricted the hosts to very little in terms of chances.

The visitor’s front three looked a threat throughout and were all involved in two well worked team goals with Jota grabbing a brace and assists coming from Leo Bonatini and Ivan Cavaleiro.

4) If you were Nuno EspiritoSanto, what would you do differently in the next game?

Cup

Ideally and if possible I’d like to see as many changes as possible with the likes of Ronan, Price, N’Diaye, Marshall, Norris and maybe some inclusions from the U23s. Not only does it give fringe/squad players valuable minutes but it also gives rest to a set of players who are already starting to pick up a few injuries.

League

Once again, if it isn’t broke don’t fix it. Marshall and N’Diaye are both pushing for starts but what a great position to be in and as Wolves got the job done at Forest, why change anything?

5) What's the biggest talking point - positive or negative - among the Molineux masses right now?

Diogo Jota and the game he had at Forest, which was possibly the most impressive individual performance from a Wolves player this season so far.

The fact he grabbed two goals would have probably been enough to make him the biggest positive talking point, but his show was so much more than the two well taken goals.

Deceptively quick, unbelievable feet, tidy, creative, strong, resilient, scores goals and Wolves have a deal in place to sign him, plus I’m sure I am not alone in echoing Conor Coady’s words that “we’re lucky to have him”.

What a talent and what a start to a hopefully long career at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

6) Who/What has impressed/annoyed you most this week - and why?

I believe that since the Bristol City game, Nuno and his team of coaches have done lots of work on defending and especially set plays.

Forest only had one corner so you can’t really make a judgement on that, but in open play Wolves looked as solid defensively as they have done all season and as a result restricted the hosts clear cut chances to pretty much nothing.
