If Wolves are going to pull themselves out of the Premier League basement, a home clash against a Nottingham Forest side hovering just above the drop zone may be as good a chance as any. But with morale low and momentum missing, Molineux hasn't been the fortress they need.
Rob Edwards' arrival has yet to spark the turnaround fans hoped for. Two games, two defeats, and not a single goal scored highlight just how deep Wolves' struggles run their recent narrow 1-nil loss to Aston Villa also shows their worrying attacking form even against a slightly vulnerable defence.
Their losing streak now stands at seven straight matches in all competitions, and with just two points from 13 league games, they remain one of only three teams across Europe's top-five leagues still searching for a win.
