Dave Edwards: Andre's omission a big surprise in Wolves defeat

It was fascinating to hear Vitor Pereira's insight afterwards and that he thinks Andre hasn't been good enough in the last few weeks. More from an attitude point of view, I'd imagine, because if a player's still putting it in every day in training, even if Andre's not playing his best football, he still plays.

It's one of those things which will now look like a bit of a mistake but sometimes you'll just be trying to send a message to the group to say that no one's place is guaranteed.

You might feel the pain of one game where you really miss out on having a player like Andre, but for the good of the team moving forward and for the good of Andre, it might be a really good decision because players can become comfortable. They can expect to play and Andre is definitely one of those players who would expect to play every single week because of the quality he has.

But we want the best version of Andre every week, not the version that turns up because he knows he can produce enough to stay in the team.

I hope we now see a reaction from him and I hope what Vitor Pereira has done has given him a bit of a kick up the backside.

Pereira will not have wanted to make this decision to some extent because he knows how important Andre is - hopefully we will now have a good reaction from a key player and a message is sent to the rest of that spine, like Emmanuel Agbadou, Joao Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen.

You have to deserve that place in the team. It's an honour to be playing for this football club and it's not just handed out easily. I do like what the manager's done although at the same time when you look at the game it probably backfired on him a little bit and also shows how light we are in that midfield area.

As much as I love Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, there is a big drop in quality when Andre or Joao Gomes don't play.

Bellegarde also gave the ball away for the first goal and Wolves couldn't really deal with the intensity that Bournemouth were playing with in that opening 20 minutes.

They got pressed and forced into mistakes, but maybe if it was Andre receiving that pass then it wouldn't have resulted in a goal.

It was a poor first half and Bournemouth could have scored three of four with the chances they had.

Marshall Munetsi had a good chance and will be disappointed he didn't hit the target at least. Jhon Arias also had that chance just after half-time.

But as soon as Wolves got that red card from Toti, then the game was gone and Wolves from an attacking point of view weren't able to offer a lot at all.

I thought the wing-backs in the second half were positive. Hugo Bueno offered a lot going forward and his performances are putting him in the frame for a start soon. He offers something different from an attacking point of view and that's what Wolves are really lacking at the moment.

On the other side, Jackson Tchatchoua has got pace, which is something we really crave at the moment.

There's different ways to be creative in football, you don't have to be Matheus Cunha or Rayan Ait-Nouri who can manipulate the ball, you can be someone like Adama Traore running past people and hopefully we'll get that from Tchatchoua.

I was disappointed to see Ki-Jana Hoever go off injured, but it gives Tchatchoua his chance.

Wolves are going to need to turn things around quite quickly because of these two home games coming up in the league in Everton and Leeds.

They're high-pressure games already, where Wolves need to pick up points and they're going to have to pick up their performances. They're really lacking creativity going forward at the moment and that's where Wolves have to act in the market. 

I don't see how Wolves can move out of this transfer window without signing some top quality players in the final third.

We've brought in Jhon Arias and we've brought in Fer Lopez. As much as we want them to work, Arias is going to take a little bit of time to adapt and we need players now.

We need to pick up points. The Premier League is ruthless and if you don't win games you get yourself in a lot of trouble. 

We saw that last year and at the moment we haven't got the players to score enough goals to win games of football in the Premier League.

Let's hope there is some activity before the window closes, because the nucleus of the team and the identity is there, we just need to add some quality.
