Discipline
Wolves’ squad are not just emotional, these current players are out of control
Jose Sa having to be restrained after a confrontation with fans, Mario Lemina fighting with his own teammates and coaching staff – it’s a terrible look.
Rayan Ait-Nouri is the latest player to be involved in ugly scenes after the final whistle following the late defeat to Ipswich and then came footage of Matheus Cunha’s alleged elbow that the Brazilian has subsequently been charged for.
The Algerian will be suspended for Leicester City clash this Sunday and will return for Manchester United on Boxing Day with four-yellows.
Cunha is facing a much longer ban and Wolves could be without their talisman for multiple weeks just when they need him the most.
It goes without saying this group must be able to control their emotions and it will be up to Pereira to address these deep-rooted issues immediately.
