Liam Keen's Wolves player ratings v Nottingham Forest following Molineux defeat

Liam Keen rates the Wolves players following the defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Sam Johnstone

The goalkeeper had little to do in reality but made a big error for the goal when he comes for the ball and fails to reach it.

Error: 4

Jackson Tchatchoua

The right-wing-back had an exceptionally poor first half and despite a small improvement in the second half, it was not enough.

Poor: 4

Yerson Mosquera

The defender had a comical slip that almost cost him but was otherwise steady without being inspiring.

Steady: 5

Emmanuel Agbadou

Agbadou has improved his passing since getting back into the team but in the second half previous mistakes began to creep back into his game.

Mistakes: 5

Toti Gomes

The captain kept trying and got forward in the second half but lacked some quality in possession.

Tried: 5

David Moller Wolfe

Wolfe had a much better second half and got an improved rating as a result. He got forward, picked the right passes and helped Wolves attack.

Improved: 6

Andre

Andre was the best of the midfielders and looked after the ball well, trying to retain possession and get Wolves ticking.

Best: 6

Joao Gomes

J.Gomes is undoubtedly talented and always works hard, but his quality on the ball was lacking on this occasion. He did not release the ball quick enough or play it forward.

Lacking: 5

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Bellegarde impressed against Villa but is far too inconsistent. He lost possession too many times and struggled in the final third.

Inconsistent: 4

Jhon Arias

The forward continues to struggle on and off the ball, physically and tactically, and has next to no impact in attacking areas. He also missed a big headed chance at 0-0.

Struggled: 4

Jorgen Strand Larsen

The striker continues to be isolated but he did not do enough on the ball and he must find his form from somewhere.

Isolated: 4

Substitutes

Hwang Hee-chan (for Bellegarde, 67), 5, Ki-Jana Hoever (for Tchatchoua, 81), Mateus Mane (for Arias, 81), Tolu Arokodare (for Mosquera, 81), Marshall Munetsi (for J,Gomes, 85).

Subs not used: Sa, S.Bueno, Doherty, Chirewa.
